This booklet is a test booklet that accompanies the book Hebrew from Scratch Part 2 . The booklet follows the 16 chapters of the book and includes 9 exams following the chapters. The booklet is intended for students studying from the book Hebrew from Scratch Part 2 who wish to test themselves independently at the end of each chapter to assess their level of knowledge and their abilities. Students can also use the solutions at the end of the booklet. The exams refer to all aspects studied in the chapter: reading comprehension, writing following a text, repeating vocabulary, and grammatical knowledge. At the end of the booklet are solutions for the tests. The solutions are for the grammar sections, but not for the comprehension sections. The linguistic instructions are translated into English to make it easier for the students, and in addition, examples are given to solve the exercises. Each exam includes a section with questions followed by a writing section. In addition, each exam includes grammatical materials: a verb or syntax studied or emphasized in the chapter. Some of the exams are also accompanied by vocabulary exercises based on the studied chapter or on previous chapters.

In the book From the Word to the Sentence , advanced Hebrew learners deal with the syntax system and the morphology of the Hebrew language. The book repeats structures and forms studied in lower levels and combines them in contexts adapted to the exemption level in terms of vocabulary. It also deals extensively with structures used in high literary and academic writing. At the beginning of the book is a table of the morphological and syntactic items taught in all levels in the Hebrew teaching unit at the Hebrew University. These grammatical items serve as an outline for the contents of the book. The book opens with the parts of speech and different types of conjunctions and continues with different types of sentences. Each chapter discusses one topic and opens with a poem that includes or demonstrates the use of the structure discussed in the chapter. Detailed and in-depth explanations, tables and comments follow. The practice is done through many and varied exercises both in sentences and in cloze exercises, which can also be seen as texts for discussion and as a basis for expression. The solutions are given at the end of the book.

The articles compiled in this volume are studies by Jacob (Kobi) Metzer, which examine economic and political-economy issues in the Mandate era and the State of Israel. Most of the studies were originally published in scholarly journals and collected volumes in English. Their revision and publication in Hebrew under one volume is aimed at making them more accessible to the Israeli readership. The book consists of nine chapters, grouped into three parts. The first part includes four chapters that present the main socio-economic attributes of the Arab and Jewish populations during the Mandate period and examine them in broad comparative frameworks. The three chapters of the second part take up ethno-national aspects of land and settlement in Mandatory Palestine and Israel, and analyze them in comparative perspective. The third part deals with patterns of immigration and employment of Jews as individuals. It contains two chapters. One documents the socio-demographic profile of the immigrants to Palestine in the first decade of the British Mandate, and compares it with the international migration of the time. The other chapter examines comparatively the patterns of Jewish self-employment in the Diaspora and in Mandatory Palestine and Israel, from the early twentieth century onward.

The New Arabic-Hebrew Dictionary is a dictionary of the Arabic language across the ages, with focus on the language of the spoken and written media. The dictionary also reflects the rich literary history of the Arabic language, of more than 1,400 years, including the Qur'an, ancient poetry, proverbs, the Hadith and jurisprudential literature, Adab literature and historical literature. Terms and expressions from the sphere of Islamic theology and jurisprudence, which were considered archaic 50 or 60 years ago, have come back into use following the rise of fundamentalist Islam in the 1970s, and this new dictionary provides translations and explanations for these terms as well. With over 44,000 entries, this dictionary is today the most comprehensive, up-to-date and reliable dictionary of contemporary Arabic. User-friendly: full vocalization of all Arabic and Hebrew entries. About 6,000 examples from Arabic literature of all eras and from the press clarify the use of words. Over 4,000 grammatical and historical notes. The New Arabic-Hebrew Dictionary is intended for university students and scholars, school pupils and teachers and anyone interested in the Arabic language.

Despite many decades of research, we seem to linger in a state of confusion regarding what leadership is and if or how it might be cultivated. The book offers a new perspective on leadership, whereby what defines leadership is not one’s position or successful conduct but action of a certain kind. More specifically, leadership is about realizing the human potential to think, create or act outside the boundaries of what is known and safe in order to serve the greater good. What distinguishes “acts of leadership” is that they take place in a sphere of ambiguity and uncertainty. As such, acts of leadership are essentially risky, bold and adventurous. Obstacles and opponents are to be expected and no measure of success can be guaranteed. By placing leadership in its unique sphere of action, we realize that widely accepted prescriptions for rational or sensible conduct do not apply and that relying on them may shut us down before we even begin. We further appreciate that such acts exemplify “action” in its deepest sense: what we choose to do as free individuals in an uncertain universe, and how we do it, is a self-defining act; it makes us who we are.

The spread of the Assyrian Empire over the entire Fertile Crescent in the second half of the 8th century BC introduced various forms of cooperation between the neighboring nomadic Arabs and the imperial authorities. The geographical conditions and resultant lifestyle of the Arabs facilitated a mutual dependence and delicate equilibrium between themselves and the Assyrian rulers, eager to capitalize on their unprecedented regional might. Henceforth, the Arabs appear as an organic component of the Fertile Crescent history rather than mere desert raiders.

Marx’s 1857 introduction to his Critique of Political Economy , which was not published in his lifetime, remains his only mature attempt to formulate the philosophical presuppositions of his economic research. Marx’s preface to the same work, published in 1859, contains a complementary philosophical discussion on the relations between economy and society. Their joint translation presents Hebrew readers with an accessible overview of the philosophical principles at the basis of Marx’s research.
