shout it from the rooftops!


My best friend
Yair Shahak
just tied for first place
in the International Bible Contest (Chidon HaTanach)
with the Israeli contestant.
I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD.
I COULD NOT.

Yair has always been an incredible scholar, musician, artist, linguist...the list goes on...and it's so nice to see him being recognized. Incidentally, his wife Yaelle Frohlich is also pretty incredible (she actually was also a competitor in the Chidon, although the other Canadian contestant advanced). But she's a scholar, historian and incredible person in her own right! 

ALL THE KUDOS.
(And all the bragging rights *smirk*)

The Ultimate Biblical Hebrew Cheatsheet (Semester 1)

Once upon a time I had a teacher named Mrs. Walchak. Now, Mrs. Walchak taught me geometry and she permitted me to utilize a geometry cheatsheet with theorems and formulas and other good stuff to help us work out our proofs. However, none of this would help you unless you understood the foundations and building blocks behind geometry. Formulas don't work unless you know how to apply them.

With that in mind, I present you with The Ultimate Biblical Hebrew Cheatsheet for Semester 1 of Dr. Richard Steiner's course. Everything I got right on this sheet is credited to Dr. Steiner and Yair Shahak. Anything I got wrong is due to my own mistakes. This sheet is not going to be very helpful to you unless you take the Biblical Hebrew course at Revel or embark upon a courageous journey to understand Lambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew on your own. Be that as it may, here tis, and may it help many a confused lad and lass out of their Hebrew woes.
