Summary

Does it make sense to dedicate an entire podcast episode to… nothing? Yes, yes it does! The word כלום, which means "nothing," often comes in the form of a double negative. Guy explains.

As part of our podcast's 8th birthday celebrations, we are giving all Streetwise Hebrew podcast listeners $50 USD towards Ruben Adery's full Hebrew pronunciation course. The course consists of 4 modules, 31 high-definition videos, and a bonus vowel audio course with 400+ common daily practice words.

Check out the course material and have the $50 discount applied automatically at to tlv1.fm/happy8
