The Letter Tav

The last (i.e., 22nd) letter of the Hebrew alphabet is “Tav,” which has the sound of “t” as in “tall.”

In modern Hebrew, the letter Tav can appear in three forms:

Forms of Tav

Write the manual print version (or "block" version) of Tav as follows:

Note: The letter Tav can also take a dot, or dagesh mark. In ancient Hebrew, a Tav without the dot was pronounced “th” (e.g., as in Sabbath). In the Ashkenazi tradition, Tav without the dot is pronounced “s” (as in “Shabbos”), but in modern Hebrew, Tav with or without the dagesh is pronounced simply as “t.”
