All 27 Hebrew Alphabet flashcards. Free.

The whole deck, not a sample — Hebrew Alphabet is 27 cards, which is no longer than the 30 we give away on every deck, so there is nothing left to charge for. 13 pages, US Letter, black and white. Grades 6–12.

No account, no email, no card details.

13 pages, and the backs are already right

Every front sheet is followed by its own back sheet with the rows reversed. Print double-sided, flip on the long edge, and answer number 7 is behind question number 7. Print a deck you built yourself, flip on the short edge, and every answer lands on the wrong card — which nobody finds out until sixty cards have been cut apart.

  • 27 cards — counted out of the file, not rounded up
  • Eight cards a sheet, with cut guides
  • US Letter PDF, black and white, photocopier-friendly
  • Print a set per student, every class, every year

27 cards — the 22 letters of the alphabet plus the 5 final forms, which is exactly the set a reader has to recognise (Abzug, James Madison Univ., builds the same 27-card set: '22 characters of the Aleph-Bet, plus five additional cards'). Nothing is added to reach a round number.

Every card here is cited to two independent sources

Two different organisations — not a standards body and a website reprinting it — and a script refuses the card if the two disagree, so the check runs on every card rather than on the ones somebody remembered to look at. A second specialist then re-verified this deck from sources of their own, without reading our citations first. A further 5,420 cards across 30 other decks were read end to end by a subject specialist instead, and we say which is which on every deck rather than averaging the two into one flattering word.

What 27 printed cards do that a screen does not

A phone deck is one card at a time. A printed deck is a pile you can split: the ones you know, the ones you nearly know, and the ones you keep missing. That third pile is the entire study session, and it is the thing a scrolling app hides from you.

  • Print once, use all year. The licence covers a set per student, every class, every year.
  • No device, no login, no data. Works in a cover lesson, on a bus, or at a kitchen table. Grades 6–12, filed under world languages.
  • Change what you disagree with. Every card loads into the free maker on this site. Reword it, drop it, add your own, reprint.

Questions

How do I print them double-sided?
Double-sided, flip on the long edge. Every front sheet is followed by its own already-mirrored back sheet, so print them in the order they come and every answer lands on its own card.
Can I edit the cards?
Yes, and that is half the point. Once you own the deck, the "Buy & edit" button here opens all 27 cards in the free flash card maker on this site — reword a definition, delete the ones you do not teach, add your own, and print at anything from two to nine cards a page, rather than the fixed eight of the PDF.
Can I print a set for every student?
Yes. Personal and classroom licence: unlimited printing, every class you teach, every year you teach it. It does not cover reselling the file or passing it on to a colleague.
What if I find a card that is wrong?
Tell us and we fix it, and we publish what changed. We have withdrawn a whole deck from sale for being out of date rather than quietly patch it.
Do I need an account?
No. The file downloads straight away — no account, no email, no card details.
