How this list was compiled: Own cards, checked on 2026-09-30 and again on 2026-10-03 against two references. The 22 letters, their order, the five final forms, the letter names, the sounds of modern Israeli Hebrew with their English key words and the number values 1 to 400 follow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet, and every card was compared with the tables of that article; the letter entries at https://en.wiktionary.org/ (one page per letter) give the same position, name and number for each of the 22 letters and call each of the five others a word-final form. Hebrew runs from right to left. The look-alike set is our own choice of five pairs of shapes that are easy to mix up; it states nothing beyond the names. The cards show letters only: no vowel points and no words. Licence: own work

How it works

These Hebrew alphabet flash cards show one letter on the front. The back gives its name, its sound in modern Hebrew and its number value. Hebrew runs from right to left and has no capital letters.

Print the aleph bet flash cards

Every set fits a single sheet of Letter or A4, and all 27 cards take three. Press the print button under the card, print on both sides and flip on the long edge: the backs are mirrored, so alef lands behind א. These Hebrew letter flash cards print letters only, with no vowel points.

Quiz mode takes other common spellings of a name: aleph, beth, vet, het, yud, kuf, tzaddik and more.
As Hebrew flash cards go, this deck stops at the letters: no words, no vowel points and no handwritten forms.

Questions and answers

How many letters are in the Hebrew alphabet?

Twenty-two, all of them consonants in the traditional form. Five (kaf, mem, nun, pe and tsadi) take a different shape at the end of a word, which is why this deck has 27 cards.

What are the final letters in Hebrew?

ך, ם, ן, ף and ץ: final kaf, final mem, final nun, final pe and final tsadi. Each is written only as the last letter of a word. The Hebrew word for these forms is sofit, which means final.

Do Hebrew letters stand for numbers?

Yes. Alef to tet count 1 to 9, yod to tsadi count 10 to 90 by tens, and qof, resh, shin and tav stand for 100, 200, 300 and 400. The value is on the back of each of the 22 letter cards.

Which sounds do the cards give?

The sounds of modern Israeli Hebrew, each with an English key word. Alef and ayin are silent or a short catch in the throat, and chet is the ch of Bach.
