Aleph-Bet (Hebrew alphabet)

The Aleph-Bet is the Hebrew alphabet, consisting of 22 consonant letters used in Hebrew writing and liturgy. Unlike English, vowels are often indicated with optional diacritical marks called niqqud, which are not always written. Each letter has a unique name and numerical value, playing a role in language, religious texts, and symbolism. The script is written from right to left, and some letters change form when used at the end of a word. The Aleph-Bet is central to Hebrew language and cultural identity, serving as the foundation for reading, writing, and understanding Hebrew texts.
