801.0. "Hebrew/English Dictionary Upgrade" by IAMOK::KOJM () Thu Oct 12 1989 17:42

    We decided it is time to upgrade our Hebrew/English dictionary and
    wanted to ask fellow Bagelers for recommendations before we made the
    investment. What do you recommend?
    
    I appreciate your help.

801.1	Alcalay is very good	CASP::SEIDMAN	Aaron Seidman	`Thu Oct 12 1989 19:28`	6
	I've been very happy with my three-volume Alcalay. (One volume is Hebrew-English, two are English-Hebrew). I got mine in Israel for under $40, about four years ago. I think they go for around $70 at the Israel Book Shop (Brookline). Aaron

	Alcalay is the "king's Hebrew". --David
801.3	Alcalay	MELTIN::dick	GVRIEL::SCHOELLER	`Fri Oct 13 1989 10:19`	7
	A motion has been made and seconded in favor of Alcalay. All those in favor say "Aye." AYE!!!! All those opposed...nah! An additional note, unless you really need a portable dictionary, stay way from the various paperbacks. They are woefully inadequate. Gav

I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my 2-volume Megiddo (the most recent edition may have 3 volumes), and I find it easier to use than the Alcalay. For those occasions when a portable one is a must, I have a Bantam Megiddo.
