Shalom!  שלום

This week our amazing sign language club has made a few videos for you to watch focusing on numbers. Did you know we are counting the Omer right now between Pesach and Shavuot?

Here are the numbers from 1-10, 11-20 and the days of the week. 

Using the same formula for the number 20 do you think you could figure out the sign for the numbers for 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90? 

If you can count to ten in Hebrew then there is a pattern for learning the numbers up to 100.

For 11-20 you add on an esrey to the numbers from 1-9.

For the numbers 30-90 you add on an im (makes it plural in male format) to the numbers from 1-9.

To say a number like 54 you would say ואַרְבַּע חֲמִשִּׁים chamishim ve (and) arba. Think how you might say the other numbers.
