![]() To the right side of each letter, you will find the final form the letters which do not take a final form have a dash ( - ) instead. The table below lists the Modern Hebrew alphabet and its Rashi script equivalent in block-letters which is the most commonly used form in printed materials. The rest of the letters remain the same regardless of placement. Some sources may call it the “ sofit form” which, again, translates to “final form” in Hebrew. That means the letters Khaf, Mem, Nun, Pei, Fei, and Tzadik will change form if they are the final letter of a word. Just like Hebrew, the Rashi script consists of 22 letters and five letters of the alphabet take a final form. Needless to say, the writing direction is right to left. Alternatively, you may find the Rashi Script mentioned as ketav Rashi or ktav Rashi, both are Latinised versions of saying “Rashi script” in Hebrew. It looked great on the pink T!īut it would have been too plain to just have her Hebrew name all by itself, I needed to add some bling.Named after eleventh-century Jewish scholar, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, the Rashi script is essentially Hebrew letters in Sephardic cursive form. For this project, I used the Silhouette grey flocked heat transfer. Don’t forget this step – I did the first time and cut it out in the wrong direction for ironing so sadly wasted some heat transfer material. Now, since I am going to put this on a T-shirt, I will need to flip this again horizontally for cutting out of heat transfer so that it will be in the right direction when I iron it on. I just love this “Dybbuk” font so after the flipping my word, I then selected a different font, sized it a bit and viola! The Hebrew fonts will show up on your font list in Silhouette Studio even though you can’t type in Hebrew in the program. So, you’ll want to right-click and then select “Flip Horizontally” so that you can see what it looks like and play around with the fonts. When you first paste it, it will appear backwards like it is in this picture. Once you have your word or sentiment typed in Word, you’ll want to copy the word and then paste it into a blank Silhouette Studio document. Of course, with these you can do all sorts of fun stuff using Word or whatever program you like! The standard ones that you probably have already, like Times, are pretty traditional (think prayerbook) Hebrew letters but there are some beautiful scripts out there that are really modern and chic. Remember, just like English, Hebrew comes in both block and script fonts. Here you can see how it looks in several different fonts in Word. I am working on a gift for a friend who’s daughter’s Hebrew name is Morasha. ![]() Then, open up a document in Microsoft Word, switch to Hebrew on your language bar and start typing. If you really want to make things easier on yourself, you can order some of these hebrew keyboard labels to doctor up your keyboard. I also recommend selecting that the language bar be docked in the taskbar so you can easily switch between languages when you are working. This is really easy – here is a guide to adding input languages. So, my first recommendation is that you install the Hebrew keyboard in windows so that you can easily access the letters. So, here’s how to get cool Hebrew letters into Silhouette Studio (using Windows, sorry Mac folks) and cut out:įirst of all, you may not know it, but many fonts you already own often contain Hebrew letters but using them can be a bit tricky since you aren’t sure where to find them, etc. The tricky part is that it only supports English. Silhouette Studio is the software that comes with the Silhouette that you can use to create whatever you are cutting. Just think, the possibilities for Judaica projects or even every day projects with a jew-ish flare are endless! Here’s a little preview: ![]() ![]() It cuts paper and vinyl and fabric (though I haven’t tried that one yet) and best of all, it cuts any font! I knew even before I ordered it that I one of the things I wanted to be able to do try with it was cut Hebrew letters. Oh, I am so excited about this project I can hardly type! So, as you may have all figured out by now, I am totally in love with my Silhouette Cameo. ![]()
