Subject: Study tour - time to learn some Hebrew
History: This message has been forwarded.
Greetings fellow Pilgrims,
If you ever wanted to learn Hebrew, the study tour is a great way to jump start your learning.
You will see and hear it the whole time you are there. If you learn the letters now, you may
really enjoy trying to read the signs and to understand some of the spoken language.
I don't know about you, but whenever I visit another country I try to learn at least a few
things in the language of that country.
I'm going to give you a phrase learn now that you can use when we get to Israel, and I'll use
our alphabet instead of the Hebrew aleph-bet
If you want to say "How are you" you say: Ma shalom kha? if you are speaking to a man
and: Ma shalom mekh? if you are speaking to a woman.
Then they will answer: "Tov" which means good or fine.
Another common expression is "Ma nish ma?" Which is more like"What's up?" or "What's
happening".
Now, a very important question to test you on. See if you can figure this one out, and I'll put
it in Alphabet letters so you can read it. What does this mean? Eifo ha sherotim?
Pronounced like: A Foe ha share oh teem.
P.S. the letters "kh" I used above in the transliteration is a guttural sound used in Hebrew
similar to the "ck" sound but not quite.

I have gotten a little feedback so far from my quiz that I sent out yesterday. I hope to get
some more soon.
God bless!
