Worth its weight in gold.

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020

This book is quite a few things all at once.

1. Condensed review of Hebrew grammar.
2. Extended information about more archaic grammatical structures (such as nitpael/ hitpolel).
3. A working tool for Orthodox Jews during Shabbat (when electronic devices should not be used). I myself spend a lot of time preparing to chant Torah, and many of the declensions are obscure.

Heretofore, it has been my habit to go to different Facebook Biblical Hebrew discussion groups whenever a question came up.

There were/are these questions, but the responses may not have been immediate for a question that needed to be solved immediately.

This seems to cut out about 99% of my immediacy problems

Also, during any day of the week most Orthodox (and especially Haredim) know ***absolutely nothing**" about grammar.

Verdict: this book is well worth a second-hand purchase price, and strongly recommended.
