שלום, מה שלומך?

**lavikor201** · 06-17-2006

snakelegs, is correct. They are vowels:

For example the "lamed" ל

If the "lamed" as a line under it you pronounce it like this:

LA
____________
If the "lamed" has 1 dot under it, then you pronounce it like this:

LEE

_______________________________________________

Another example:

מָחָר

Makhar

As you see there are lines underneath so it is MA and KHEAR

If they both had 1 dot underneath it would read out to be ME and KHER

_______________________________________

This is basically for saying the words with accuracy in prayer, so you will see it in the prayer book, and when begginers learn.

But when you learn Hebrew and speak it very well, you know what the words are so you don't need the vowels to tell you how to say it.

Is it true that Yemeni Jews are Arabs convert to Judaism?

No, I actualy have Yemenite Jewish friends... The Yemen Jews have always been Jews and can actually find by DNA in todays age that they are connected to one of the tribes which were exiled after Israel was conquered thousands of years ago.

Because of persecution because of there religious beliefs they fled Yemen and came back to Israel. Now almost all of the Jews who lived in Yemen live in Israel. They were willing to abondon there homes and lives to get out of Yemen, because of man reasons which I won;t get into.

There also about 100,000 Black Jews in Israel now... who most believe are from the lost tribe of "Dan" of the 12 tribes, and were in Northern Ethiopia.

And, is it true that some Mizrahi Jews prefer to be called as Arabs who professed Judaism belief?

I don't. But the Mizrahi Jews who number over 1 million now who lived in Israel way before the state was created were called Arab Jews because they were Arabs They were just Jewish Arabs... like there are Christian Arabs. To be an Arab is not a religion.

**north_malaysian** · 06-18-2006

How about the lost tribe? Many people claims it like Lemba people in Zambia, Mizo in India, Pashtun in Afghanistan and some Native in South America too. Who actually the lost tribe?

Greetings,

Thankyou snakelegs and lavikor201 for the explanations.

What sound does the long line in between letters represent, and also the thing which looks like an apostraphe? Both of these are in the word in lavikor's signature.

Peace.

**lavikor201** · 06-18-2006

Actually the lines on the sides are nothing...

If I were to write...

- Go Manchester United - that is what it would be like... lol.

The apostrephe is really the letter "yod" :-)

It is a letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
