      Practical Introduction to the Hebrew Script

      Learn to read and write Hebrew quickly by using familiar names and vocabulary already known before the language study, with tables and easy explanations of Hebrew and Yiddish

      Many learners often lose their interest in learning the Hebrew language after just a few hours of study, as courses usually require a fairly good command of the script relatively quickly. Since when learning a new language, in addition to foreign vocabulary and grammar, unknown letters must also be learned, even many academic learners are quickly overwhelmed and discouraged. By resorting to common words and names, it is now just as quick and easy to get used to reading and writing Hebrew without any additional burdens and to quickly achieve noticeable learning successes. The practical introduction to the Hebrew script can be used as a prerequisite as well as to accompany existing textbooks as a simple and effective aid to enable quick access to terrain that is not so completely foreign.

      The Jews of Hainsfarth

      Notes on a former Jewish Community in a Rural Bavarian-Swabian Villlage

      Hainsfarth is a small town next to Oettingen, located in Bavaria somewhat halfway between Augsburg and Nuremberg, not far from Nördlingen. At least since the 13th century, Jews lived in Hainsfarth, where they made up half of the population at times. There has been no Jewish community since 1940, but with the restored synagogue, the recently renovated Jewish school, remnants of a Mikveh and a largely preserved Jewish cemetery, Hainsfarth has a remarkable ensemble of architectural evidence of Jewish life and culture in southern Germany. The descendants of the Hainsfarth Jews produced scholars, actors and successful bankers. After all, two of the four teachers of the Jewish school were close relatives of later US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The booklet describes with numerous illustrations in short form history and institutions of the Jews of Hainsfarth.
