Fabulous book. Love it.

[Robyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute! Definitely not all-inclusive or all-explanatory, but it does cover a lot of basics. I still don't feel ready to tackle reading the Bible in its original Hebrew, or any other Hebrew novels. I also still don't know enough Hebrew to get around in Israel. But I learned some things from reading this book, & will retain it the more I study.

Pictures to show what the Hebrew word means, but sometimes the pictures weren't enough. It was hard to see the difference between some of them and there was no list in the back of the words used.

It was very odd to see several instances of treif and Christmas words.
