The best Hebrew dictionary in the world. It can be read by anyone, including by people not knowing anything in Hebrew because of the way it was compiled. Excellent.

I bought and borrowed four or five dictionaries before finally landing on this one. For the Anglo-Saxon or Latin mind, like coming home to the familiar smell of mom doing your laundry and cooking a Tuesday night dinner.

I've owned this for two weeks and it's quite worn already.

A great dictionary for my Hebrew studies.
