NO OF PAGES: 292 SUB CAT I: Hebrew SUB CAT II: Reference SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: From Acharon to Zohar, this informative and often humorous dictionary features over six hundred Hebrew words and expressions arranged in alphabetical order (the Roman alphabet is used throughout). The first such guide to Hebrew itself, a treasure trove of Jewish wit, wisdom, culture, and tradition. Lewis Glinert provides a concise definition of each entry, deftly sketches its place in Jewish life and culture, and then illustrates the word's usage with generous passages from the Bible and the Talmud, the prayers and the sayings of the famous rabbis, the razor's edge of Jewish humor, excerpts from the work of Elie Wiesel, S.Y. Agnon, Naomi Shemer and other contemporary writers, folklore from all over the Jewish world, and colorful slices of modern Israeli life. In addition, Glinert provides a guide to the Hebrew pronunciation of familiar biblical names and the Hebrew spelling of every word. A celebration of Hebrew language and culture, "The Joys of Hebrew" is a remarkable collection of the best known, most loved Hebrew words and phrases in the English speaking world.NOTES: Purchased at Half Price Books.
