The book Rav Pe'alim focuses on the Modern Hebrew verb system and is intended for advanced level students of Hebrew as a second language (level Dalet according to the Division of Hebrew Language Instruction at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel). The book includes not only structured, gradual exercises of verb conjugations, but also includes verb exercises that aim to enrich the students' vocabulary and reinforce the mastery of the lexical meaning of the Hebrew roots (shorashim) and the semantic usage of the Hebrew stems (binyanim). In addition, the book provides the student with grammatical explanations and strategies to solve verb problems.

This a new edition includes answers to all the exercises. This book of exercises is designed for advanced students studying for their proficiency test in Hebrew according to the curriculum at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. In section 1 you will find exercises that combine syntax and verb conjugations. The goal of these exercises is to combine all that was learned in previous levels, with the addition of new and different topics and vocabulary that is learned at the highest level. At this level of learning, the focus is integrating previously learned topics in the context of articles and texts (adapted from newspapers and journals), rather than on, reviewing previously learned topics in isolation, as is done in lower levels. In section 2, you will find exercises organized according to topic. In this section, we guide students in a systematic deeper concentration of the grammatical topics (complicated syntax and highly irregular verbs) that are most challenging for most students and require further practice. In section 3 we introduce "unseens", articles or texts with missing words for students to add; the primary objective of these exercises is to for students to hone their ability to understand the larger context of the text, rather than to focus on vocabulary or grammar per se. These exercises invite an integration of all that the student has previously learned, both actively and passively: everything from vocabulary to grammatical technicalities. All exercises in the book are adapted from newspaper articles and texts on a wide variety of diverse and current topics – from the arts to history and technology - carefully selected to engage the advanced learner and acclimate them to the Modern Hebrew writing style. The book includes answers to all the exercises (including suggested answers to the unseen passages), making it ideal for self-study as well as classroom use.

Pygmalion was claimed by Shaw to be a didactic drama about phonetics, and its antiheroic hero, Henry Higgins, is a phonetician, but the play is a humane comedy about love and the English class system. The play is about the training Higgins gives to a Cockney flower girl to enable her to pass as a lady and is also about the repercussions of the experiment’s success.

The Erudite Comedy introduces the Hebrew reader to three saucy Italian comedies. These comic gems were written in the first quarter of the 16th century, the period in which Western classical theatre was reborn. Each of them possesses unique historical and artistic values: Ludovico Ariosto’s ‘La Cassaria’ (1508) is well-known as ‘The first modern play’; Bernardo Dovizi’s ‘La Calandra’ (1513) is remarkable for its ingenious plot, bold erotic allusions and surprisingly feminist soliloquies; Niccolo Machiavelli’s ‘Clizia’ (1525) contains autobiographical elements, reflecting the aging Renaissance genius’ love affair with a well-known young courtesan .
