Yigal Tzadka has been involved and interested in the topic of Israel and Jerusalem for many years. As a native Jerusalemite, Tzadka researched the subject of religions and studied about the city in which he was born.
Mr. Tzadka also learned archeology at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He uses the knowledge he acquired there to write about the Land of Israel and its history.
Furthermore, the author writes stories for children and adults about many different topics. Many of them deal with elements in the Bible and in history. Some of these stories are published in a bi-weekly newspaper for people learning Modern Hebrew.
Whether or not you know any Hebrew, the author does go over some basics with an intro to the Hebrew alphabet (alef-bet). This book reads through Genesis 1:1-13 in Hebrew, giving some unique historical & spiritual perspectives on it. It’s like a lesson in a foreign language & a devotional combined! It also contains some writing activities (matching English & Hebrew).
The “Let There Be Light” set also comes with a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is great for audio recordings, so you can hear what it sounds like when spoken out loud, & you can repeat the Hebrew words yourself. This book contains audio lessons 1-12 (the sections of the study book containing audio segments are notated by its corresponding number encircled by an “emoji” of headphones).
A little note on “troubleshooting” with the CD-ROM: I tried playing it on a regular CD player, but it didn’t work. I played it on a laptop computer with a built-in CD drive, and that worked.
