3.0 out of 5 stars Can I buy a final mem or nun?, August 8, 2006

By	Barbara L. Forbes-lyons (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nice set, except it is missing five 'final' letters - including the final mem. Makes it impossible to stamp the word "shalom". Of course, the box is sealed and it's not until you open it that you realize what is missing..and by then the money is spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful meditation tool, November 2, 2001

By	Elise Moss "Mountain Woman" (Los Gatos, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This kit is so wonderful in so many ways.
Comes with a really nice booklet with ideas on how to use the kit for meditation. But the stamps can be used to create stationary, arts and crafts, and greeting cards as well.

very high quality, great packaging, a wonderful tool for Sunday school teachers, Kabbalah students, or just for someone who wants to learn the Hebrew letters.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Earliest languages still spoken is now in Alphabet Stamp Kit form!, March 19, 2006

By	Deremiah, *CPE/Customer Passionate Executive ... (Saint Charles, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Edward Hoffman has created a wonderful exploration of the Hebrew language for us. His Hebrew Stamp Kit with an excellent hand book on The Hebrew Alphabet is a pleasure to use and have. I've found the kit helpful and accurate. It comes in a little wooden box with all the letters in rubber secured on a wooden block and a small ink pad with a book that tells you about every letter.

It has become my first venture into the Hebrew language. Hebrew is one of the oldest and earliest forms of language still in active use today. My sister Ephrat (Turqiz) who lives in Israel gave me my first lessons on Hebrew when she wrote my name in the Hebrew language. But it also helps having a Jewish mother who can help you along.

Hoffman goes into detail as his layout for each letter is nicely designed on almost every page of the small booklet. He not only gives you an excellent illustration on the shape of each letter but also backs that up with good historical information that makes learning the language new and exciting. I'm sure you will find this kit a lovely addition to your exploration of the Hebrew language. Check out my review on the Moleskine large sketch book...The two items work great together. Remember you only get in life what you put into it. Smile...today's a great day to learn Hebrew and use your stamp pad.

Your Servant,
