was known as “Nablus Gate” since
travelers heading to Nablus would
depart from it. In centuries past,
carriages would wait there to take
travelers to Nablus.
The British called it “Damascus
Gate” since many travelers would
continue on to Damascus from there.
This shows the importance of the
gate in those days.
In Roman times, a large victory
 pillar stood near the gate. Distances
were measured from the pillar to
cities far from Jerusalem. Although
the pillar itself has not been located,
its original position is seen in the
famous Medva map. Because of this,
Arabs still call this gate ‫מוּד‬ַ‫ע‬-‫ל‬ֶ ‫אבּ א‬ָ‫בּ‬
“The Pillar Gate.”

   R These letters have a double role: as consonants and as part of the nikud symbols (as vowels). For example: ‫יתוֹן‬ִ‫ע‬ - the letter ‘‫י‬ is part of the chirik preceding it
   H   T    ‫ה‬
   T   T    ‫ו‬
and is not pronounced as a ‘y’ sound. In the word ‫ילד‬, the ‘‫ י‬functions as a consonant and is pronounced  yeh.
   E    ‫י‬ In punctuated Hebrew, the letters ‫ י‬,‫ ו‬,‫ ה‬,‫א‬ which do not contain nikud symbols, are not pronounced as consonants. They are silent.

Hebrew Slang  ‫רִי‬ ‫ב‬ְ‫ע‬ִ ‫ְג‬
‫נ‬  ֶ‫סְל‬
It might not be correct, but people get your drift...
Hebrew is a living language that is always integrating new words and
expressions. Learn Hebrew slang and use it when you talk. You’ll be speaking
like a Sabra in no time!
ein dvarim ka’eleh - ‫לֶה‬ ‫א‬ֵ ‫כּ‬ָ  ‫ָרִים‬
 ‫ב‬ ‫ד‬ְ  ‫ֵאין‬
The phrase ‫ה‬ֶ‫אל‬ֵ ָ‫כּ‬ ‫ים‬ִ‫ר‬ָ‫ב‬ְ‫ד‬ ‫ין‬ֵ‫א‬ means fabulous, the best.
When one uses this phrase, one is saying that something or someone is so
amazing and special, that there just aren’t others like it. This expression
denotes uniqueness.
Examples:
- That girl is smart, ‫ה‬ֶ‫אל‬ֵ ָ‫כּ‬ ‫ים‬ִ‫ר‬ָ‫ב‬ְ‫ד‬ ‫ין‬ֵ‫א‬ (one of a kind)!
- That tour was fabulous, ‫ה‬ֶ‫אל‬ֵ ָ‫כּ‬ ‫ים‬ִ‫ר‬ָ‫ב‬ְ‫ד‬ ‫ין‬ֵ‫א‬ (nothing like it).
