Question

How do I say "The Lord is My God" in Hebrew?

Community Answer

Seeing as how we don't have separate words for the holy spirit and god, you can say "Halord hu hael sheli," or "הלורד הוא האל שלי." ("Halord" = the lord, "hu" = (he) is, "hael" = the god, "sheli" =my.) Hebrew doesn't have different names for the Christian god and the Jewish god though, so you would probably be misunderstood.

Do you pronounce "Boker" with a long "o" or short "o"?

"O" is usually pronounced with a long "o" in Hebrew. So yes, "Boker" is pronounced with a long "o."

Question

I want to know how to speak Hebrew as I learn. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you don't live in Israel, you can find online courses or go to a local library and borrow or buy language lesson books. If you have family members or friends who speak Hebrew, you can ask them to teach you words or phrases in Hebrew, and practice conversation with them. If not, you could search online for Hebrew speakers who may be interested in helping you.

Question

How do I say "working hard, busy bee?" in Hebrew?

Community Answer

"Busy bee" is a term that they don't exactly have in Hebrew. So it's more like: "working hard, busy?" which in Hebrew letters: "עובד קשה, עסוק?" and sounds: "Hoved kashe, hasuk?"

There are many resources online (such as Mango Languages, free through many libraries) and in person (such as classes at Jewish Community Centers, synagogues, and Israeli consulates). Many universities also teach classes that members of the public can audit.
