I started with classical Hebrew last year and though I don't have any more credits this year in the language, I've continued some reading and practice over the summer. It was fun to see how many students (we weren't a big class so everyone got to know one other) began to develop their own personal response to the letters soon after mastering the alphabet. I'm including pictures of classwork from 2010 and something I wrote this morning.

 

It would be fun to see what others' handwriting looks like, be it in biblical Hebrew or modern Hebrew, pointed or unpointed, calligraphic or hurried home work!

Cool! Classical Hebrew is an infinitely complex language, with many esoteric undertones that surpass the superficial meaning of the words themselves....

 

But, a pic! The top script is like yours, the second the more commonly used modern Hebrew script. The final one is what's known as "Rashi" script, and is used most prominently for the commentaries in the Talmud.

One of the more prominent modern calligraphers is David Ismar. He worked both in Hebrew and English. Think you might enjoy his work.

 

Enjoy,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Ytland, thanks for posting! The modern cursive looks like a whole different alphabet. I'm actually quite relieve not to be studying Hebrew without the vowels this year.

 

Randal, I checked out some of his work, WOW! Those drawings are amazing. Definitely a talent.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
