In Positivity Bias, we learn that life is essentially good; that positive perception is applicable and accessible to all; that it derives from objective, rational insight, not subjective, wishful imagination, and that positive living is a matter of choice, not circumstance.

An inspiring and life-enriching tapestry woven from hundreds of stories, letter, anecdotes, and vignettes - Positivity Bias highlights how the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, considered the most influential rabbi in modern history, taught us to see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Learn More

This textbook is intended for students of the Hebrew language, whether self-taught or studying at an Ulpan. The most difficult part in the Hebrew language acquisition is the verb. This textbook contains 2834 verbs out of which 840 are presented in Tables of Conjugations. There are two approaches applied in the book:

- every commonly used verb is presented in a separate table

- verbs are grouped according to their grammatical classification. Unlike in other similar publications here the student will find the exact conjugational paradigm for each of the 840 commonly used verbs presented, as well as the rest of verbs, using the example of the verb conjugation.

Hebrew-English Dictionary in which the verbs are presented in past tense, 3rd person, singular, masculine, arranged alphabetically and numbered (each verb is given its own ordinal number).

Index of Verb Roots which contains 1414 roots listed alphabetically, producing 2834 verbs. The number appearing in the cell is the ordinal number of the relevant verb in the Hebrew-English Dictionary.

Tables of Conjugations which contain the most commonly used verbs as well as verbs that represent groups of conjugation.
