Shalom friends,
 |
After getting acquainted with "men's best friend" it is time to meet the master of the house (or the alley) - the cat
| ( |
 |
, xatul). |
Unlike many animals the cat's language seems to be
| universal and all cats miao the same ( |
 |
). In Israel you |
can see cats everywhere in every street, on fences, near, on and in garbage cans or next to any possible food
| supply and finally of course, at homes, as pets ( |
 |
, |
xayat maxmad).
In this issue, we'll take a look at cats from the Israeli angle.
|
Lehitra'ot!
See you!
The Hebrew Online Team.
|
|
|
|
|
| Our Sages of Blessed Memory ( |
 |
) referred to the cat as an |
example of natural modesty in its manner of covering their droppings.
 |
|
Transliteration: 'ilmale lo nitna Tora - hayinu lemedin tsni'ut mexatul
Translation: If the Torah wan't given - we should have learned modesty from the cat.

Shalom, Hebrewonline Team,
what an awsome job you are doing teaching your language around the world!
Recently I visited your country in person & was able to put what I had learned into action & people actually understood what I was saying. I also very much enjoy the newsletters & extra information. They are written in such a way as to make the reader feel "warm" & personal.
Todah raba!
