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

Note that the first stroke overhangs the second stroke, and
that the second stroke has a small "foot" that goes to the left.

Hebrew Script And the cursive version:

(cursive)

This letter is similar to the print version except that the first
stroke slopes down from the top right to the baseline.

Hebrew Training Practice Write the letter Tav (from right to left) in both manual print and script several times:

Note: The letter Tav can also take a dot, or dagesh mark. In ancient Hebrew, a Tav
Dageshim 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."
