Learn to Write the Hebrew Script Aleph Through the Looking Glass Jonathan Orr-Stav

Learn to Write the Hebrew Script presents a new and innovative approach to learning the Hebrew script. Drawing on the common ancestry of European and Hebrew alphabets and the natural inclinations of the writing hand, Lotan shows how the Hebrew script may be understood and acquired almost intuitively through a three-step transformation of ordinary Roman-script cursive. Thoroughly researched but written with a light touch and great empathy, Learn to Write the Hebrew Script uncovers several surprises and dispels much of the mystique of what is often an intimidating subject, making the script of the Old Testament much more accessible to millions of non-Hebrew speakers worldwide.

Trained in architecture and computer-aided design, Jonathan Lotan is an Anglo-Israeli technical writer and applications consultant who has written a series of textbooks on computer-aided design.

"[T]his book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on Hebrew teaching that will be welcomed by students of biblical Hebrew. The strength of the book lies in the lucidly written Part I, describing the connection between Egyptian, Canaanite and European scripts."--Benjamin Hary, "MESA Bulletin"--Benjamin Hary "MESA Bulletin "
