Zeh Lo Nora: Reference Book for Students of Hebrew
By Rutie Adler
ZEH LO NORA was designed with two different readerships in mind—beginners and more advanced Hebrew students. Beginning and intermediate Hebrew language students will find in ZEH LO NORA clear, reliable explanations and memorable examples of all points of Hebrew grammar. It is an indispensable supplement to any Hebrew textbook. Rules and comments on style and use are presented in a simple, informative, and non-dogmatic manner, with examples from the language as it is actually spoken. In addition to the usual staple of verbs, nouns, and adjectives, the book covers small parts of speech, such as pronouns, prepositions, prefixes, and discourse ties as well as larger constructions, such as clauses, sentences, and paragraphs. It also touches upon a variety of “how to” questions of use. Students and readers more conversant with Hebrew will find interspersed in the text, in clearly demarcated sections, more complex structures and structural explanations, more nuanced discussions of linguistic issues, instructive historical notes, and sample texts of diverse genres. Each unit in the book is self-contained, making it possible for the user or reader to pick and choose a topic independent of place and sequence within the book. All simple examples are provided with vowels and translated, whereas the more advanced ones are not. ZEH LO NORA invites its readers to send their comments, suggestions and critique to: http://zelonora.seedwiki.com.
