Police arrested several Islamist students there who were plotting to attack a US helicopter: (IsraelNN.com) The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Israeli police have arrested and charged six Israeli-Arabs, among them Hebrew University students, for planning an Al-Qaeda attack on a senior US official. The group, including four residents of eastern Jerusalem, are suspected of operating an

Shalom Xaverim (friends), People often refer to learning a new language as a difficult task, Hebrew (or Chinese) in particular. One of the first phrases newcomers (עולים חדשים, ‘olim xadashim, new immigrants to Israel) learn is “עברית שפה קשה” (’ivrit safa kasha = Hebrew is a difficult language), but Hebrew is a beautiful language and learning [...]

Traditionally, the universities of the western world have taught that the Gospel of Matthew was not the first gospel written, that it was written in Greek, and that it was authored after 70 A.D.However, as more and more discoveries have been made, those assumptions have been shown to be stone cold wrong.As researchers are looking into the writings of the early church leaders, they are finding that

This was one surreal afternoon I wasn’t excepting. Turns out the small Holocaust museum in Tainan County’s Bao An is doing a ceremony to celebrate 60 years for Israel’s independence and so they invited me to help them out. I didn’t really imagine I’d turn into a Hebrew teacher anywhere in Taiwan, teaching Taiwanese how [...]

Welcome to HebrweOnline Blog. My name is Shira and I teach Hebrew with HebrewOnline. I find that learning Hebrew with Israeli teachers like me makes the learning experience more authentic and interesting. Learning in small virtual classes gives the students an opportunity to speak, ask questions, practice and thoroughly understand, read, and speak the language. [...]

A little while ago, I stepped out my door only to realize the Hebrew Monster had spun a web of mischievous chicanery right there on my porch. This picture was taken right before I took him down armed only with a broom handle and a canister of Rubber Cement.

The Hebrew Calendar plug-in for Firefox puts the current Hebrew date on the lunisolar calendar right in your status bar, and also comes with a set of nice features. One of the handy features is a full-size calendar that opens in your browser, showing a handy co-relation between the Hebrew date and the goyim calendar date. It’s very easy to navigate in both “worlds”, for handy reference look-up. Maybe you can even send it to your Christmas-celebrating friends to help explain to them that when they wish you “Happy Chanukkah” on their Christmas eve, it’s actually about two weeks late for that. That’s done in Javascript, by the way. Quite a feat of programming, I would imagine! Other features include a converter dialog app, a Gematria converter (fans of Aronofsky’s PI rejoice!), and clipboard-copy functions. I’d rank it as a tool you can’t do without, if you have to work a lot with Hebrew dates and language!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 11 (AP) — A charter school can resume teaching in Hebrew, three weeks after the lessons were halted over concerns that the Jewish faith was seeping into public classrooms, the school board voted Tuesday.Broward County board members said that close monitoring of the country’s first Hebrew-language charter school was still necessary, but that its administrators had cleared up major concerns.The school district will work with the school, Ben Gamla Charter School in Hollywood, Fla., to create training programs for teachers and board members to ensure the separation of church and state, Superintendent James Notter said. Lesson plans will be submitted monthly for district review.The school can teach about the Jewish faith but cannot advocate it. Hebrew instruction is to resume Monday....This from the New York Times.

We noted way back when that the iPhone lacked the ability to display either Hebrew or Arabic characters in Mobile Safari. Fortunately, a group from Israel has taken matters into their own hands to enable the display of Hebrew on the iPhone so you can browse the Tanakh until your heart's content. They've posted instructions which seem to merely involve copying the appropriate fonts from your computer onto your (jailbroken/hacked) iPhone. Or at least I've divined from the screenshots: the instructions themselves are actually in Hebrew, so I can't really confirm or deny. But that does seem to gibe with what others have written about the lack of Hebrew and Arabic, and it makes sense, given that the iPhone can display other character sets with little problem. If you can read Hebrew and care to shed some light on the process, drop us a note in the comments below. [via Gizmodo] Copyright Mac Publishing LLC.

Something tells me that if this were madrassa, they wouldn't say a word. JTA tells about a shameful act in Florida: WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Less than 48 hours after classes began at the nation's only Jewish-oriented charter school, officials in Broward County, Fla., issued a command of their own: Thou shalt not teach Hebrew, at least for the time being. The Ben Gamla Charter School ignored the

Apparently, Hebrew is hot and those who speak it are even hotter. I am so uncool. Sarah and David is a way cool company that provides an interactive and easy (believe it or not) way to learn Hebrew. Start with learning the letters with The Aleph Bet story (and check out the video!) From the site: The Aleph Bet Story CD models correct intonation and pronunciation of the letters. There are 25 tracks telling the full Aleph Bet Story as told by co-author Lily Yacobi. Complete with sound effects, the recording concludes with Aleph Bet Rock, an exuberant song that teaches the order of the aleph bet and recaps the CD’s fun learning. Once you’ve got the letters down, the next step is learning to read and write with the series of 5 workbooks consisting of activities to teach reading, writing, speaking and more. Give it a shot! We’ve got an Aleph Bet Story package to give away, including a book and CD (pictured). To enter, email theopinionatedparent@gmail.com with SARAH-DAVID in

From the site: The Hebrew and Yiddish languages use a different alphabet than English. The picture below illustrates the Hebrew alphabet, in Hebrew alphabetical order. Note that Hebrew is written from right to left, rather than left to right as in English, so Alef is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and Tav is the last. The Hebrew alphabet is often called the "alefbet," because of its first two letters. Visit Judaism 101 read more

The mischievous chicanery of the Hebrew monster has perhaps reached an apex. He has noted my pursuit of theological education and surreptitiously used my own resources against me. Over the last several months he has been clandestinely breaking into my study at night. During his fiendish nocturnal visits he has been pilfering the pages of my copy of the Hebrew Bible. He has taken his latest military tactic straight from the pages of Joshua. He has perused Joshua's conquest of Ai in Josh 8 and has commandeered the tactical maneuvers that he has observed there. Yes, he has maliciously executed a feigned retreat. A feigned retreat is the "act of faking a withdrawal or rout in order to lure an enemy away from a defended position or into a prepared ambush" that has been used by armies since ancient times (via).Now, I have previously recounted a glorious victory over my arch nemesis during finals week of last semester. That encounter ended with him "bolting around the corner" after I had ta

 It took me a few seconds to make the connection, but then it finally hit me. The site review I was reading in the morning paper while walking my dog was a site that I built. I read it again, and again, making sure that I’m not missing anything, but sure enough – there is was, in a headline across Haaretz’s TheMarker “site recommendations” page was my own creation.   The Secret Blogsphere (Very loosely translated from Hebrew) Blogging communities like Israblog or Tapuz are already well-known but there are a few Israeli bloggers who are hidden away, hosted on private servers and who are a little harder to find.

Westerners studying Chinese and Chinese studying English makes sense. An Israeli fascinated with Chinese language and culture shouldn't sound all that strange, right? But how about a Asian interested in Hebrew and Judaism? Wouldn't you find that to be special? Well, I've come to know and hear-about a few of those. On my first week in Taiwan I've made a very untypical expedition to go and try to find  the local Israeli community. No where better to start looking for that than the Israeli not-really-but-almost-embassy in Taiwan who were very nice to direct me to the local Jewish community. Making contact with the local Rabbi I've decided that despite my issues with religious faith I'll go the local Jewish temple and see the lively local Jewish community. Oddly, I found out that the local steady Hebrew speaking community consisted of two - one Rabbi and one Taiwanese. To my complete surprise the Christian Taiwanese girl spoke fluent Hebrew, studying the langua

In an article in the Egyptian government daily Al-Ahram, Egyptian Mufti Sheikh Dr. 'Ali Gum'a expressed his support of the resistance in Lebanon and stated that the lies of the "Hebrew entity" expose "the true and hideous face of the blood-suckers... who prepare [Passover] matzos from human blood." [1] The following are excerpts from the article: "Greetings to the Lebanese people, to the Lebanese government, and to the Lebanese resistance - to the small and beautiful country that has proved to the world that the ideals of determination, bravery and self-dignity still exist in this era that has been taken over by the blood-sucking murderers. "Anyone who follows the news will discover that the Hebrew entity has turned into a [source] of [empty] talk, while the Arab discourse, which was characterized in the sixties [as empty talk], has developed significantly. [The Arabs] have learned a lesson and have moved from talk to action, and from the fostering of illusions to honesty, trans
