Selected Modern Hebrew¿ ¿Texts with Exercises

This textbook is an attempt to offer a comprehensive representation of Modern Hebrew to the student of Hebrew language and culture. It consists of three major parts. The first part offers a large sample of 588 headlines, collected from daily newspapers, especially Ha-aretz, as well as titles of articles and books on Hebrew and Judaism. Part two consists of 74 sections that deal with such topics as politics, sociology, language, culture, sport, economy, health and literature, beginning with the simple and ending with the more complex texts. Part three consists of an alphabetical Glossary of approximately 350 linguistic terms in English and Hebrew. An effort was made to include interesting as well as modern material. We hope that this textbook will help the student of advanced Hebrew level in Western and Eastern universities to gain a better understanding of Modern Hebrew as reflected in the media, both written and oral.
