Folks, there are people on the Unicode list who have been frustrated by the volume of traffic on Hebrew, and for that reason a separate list was created. All of the people currently discussing Hebrew are members of that other list, although certain individuals have a bad habit of sending replies back to the Unicode list. When this happens, I think it would be a courtesy to actively steer the discussion back to the Hebrew list by sending your replies there.
