 Oxford Dictionary: English-Hebrew/Hebrew-English by Yaakov Levy July 8, 2008
I would have liked a larger font and, it would be great also, if the dictionary gave the gender of all nouns. Otherwise, this is a functional reference.
oxford hebrew dictionary review April 6, 2008
A good dictionary, But only if you are hebrew speaking this is not for beginners in the hebrew language. But good if you know how to read and speak hebrew.
Arrived in fair shape March 29, 2008

I received the correct item in excellent time; however, although it was packaged well, the book corners were crimped and bent and the spine of the book was coming unglued making this a book that will fall apart with very little use.
 the best by far March 6, 2008

I am an English speaker and have used the Oxford EN/HE dictionary extensively in both "directions" over the years. I have found it extremely useful. It holds a very comprehensive collection of words and expressions, covering all areas of modern Hebrew from the elevated language found in Ha'Aretz and Amos Oz to the everyday language heard on the street. All Hebrew is written with nikud (vowels), which is essential for correct pronunciation. Synonyms are usually given to distinguish among multiple translations. Phrases are listed under their key words, making them easy to find. Finally, Hebrew words are listed under all their currently used spellings (usually, with & without the extra vavs and yuds given to replace vowels).
This dictionary looks even better in comparison with its absolutely pitiful competition. Every other dictionary I have seen in this size has been severely lacking.
Good dictionary for a reasonable price October 25, 2007

This dictionary has been great so far. It is very helpful to have vowels with the block print to know how the words are pronounced. It also includes many idioms and phrases that can be quite helpful for conversational purposes. There have been several instances, however, when I haven't been able to find a word. But that is my only complaint. Overall, it is very well organized and adequate to help develop a working knowledge of modern Hebrew.
