This charming alphabet and vowel chart was designed to assist in the education of young children studying Hebrew and thus likely meant to be hung up in a classroom. The central, bordered panel presents all the combinations of Hebrew vowels and consonants terminating with the Hebrew vowel name: “Komatz, Pasach, Sh’vah, etc.” Below, is a near identical table, but includes the phonemes Bais, Kaf, Pey, Sin and Tav. <<Rare.>>
