One final word about the Sheva.
I have gotten quite a few questions and would encourage you guys not to get frustrated learning all the Sheva rules. My Hebrew teacher did not make us learn them until our second year of Hebrew. If you feel frustrated just remember: 1) The Sheva vowel with the two vertical dots has the "EH" sound at the beginning of a word (You see this vowel a lot in words); 2) The Sheva at the end of words is silent; and The Sheva in the middle of words can be silent or spoken. Some Hebrew teachers tell their students it mostly silent in the middle of words)...... But don't get frustrated...................... I also taught you the syllable rule in dealing with the Sheva and someone asked me how you find the vowels in a word...... My answer is that you will get to know the pronunciation of Hebrew words and be able to identify vowels...... Like "In the Beginning", which is the first word of the Torah..... BEH-REH-SHEET
