There are 22 letters in the alphabet, but thousands of words in the Hebrew language!<\/p>\n

In generations past, children’s first encounter with the alphabet was celebrated with song, celebration and the licking of honey-dipped letters.<\/p>\n

Naomi Shemer’s song is a homage to the Hebrew language. The letters dance joyfully and lay before us a wonderful world of words and phrases. Aya Gordon Noy’s illustrations suggest additional words that are not included in the lyrics, and the images and tune together invite us to celebrate the richness of our language and the world around us.<\/p>\n

Enjoy reading and singing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62989,"menu_order":8,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1010,1009],"agegroup":[770],"book-subject":[1298,1357,1361],"distribution_year":[1039],"class_list":{"0":"post-71123","1":"book","2":"type-book","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category--en","8":"category-poetry-en","9":"agegroup-preschool-4-6","10":"book-subject---en","12":"book-subject--en","13":"distribution_year-2015-2016"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAlef-Beit - Sifriyat Pijama<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pjisrael.org\/en\/book\/alef-beit\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alef-Beit - Sifriyat Pijama\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are 22 letters in the alphabet, but thousands of words in the Hebrew language!
