Hebrew Word of the Day

Hebrew language is written from the right to the left.
It consists of 22 letters.
Let's start with the first one,

"Aleph" /ˈɑːlɛf/, /ˈɑːlɨf/ -- א

"Aleph" is SILENT in Hebrew, is not being pronounced in words.

One example of "Aleph" in the word "Alphabet": אלפבית

Hebrew letters also used to denote numbers, especially dates in the Hebrew calender.
"Aleph" has the numerical value of "1".

That's for today's Hebrew word. Look out for more.
