Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates - you need to answer some questions about Hebrew to obtain the correct coordinates.
Alert - puzzle and final location changed on July 23, 2011.

Hebrew is the language of the bible. It survived the turbulences of the Jewish people, and it enjoys a remarkable rejuvenation during the past 100 years. Whether you are a resident or a visitor here, some Hebrew facts won't hurt:

A - The number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet
B: is the cursive form of ע (B=2), ה (B=1), ג (B=0) or צ (B=3)
C - The number of letters that can be silent and be used as vowels.
D - Number of Hebrew letters in the first word of the bible (the book of Genesis) plus 1
E - Number of letters that take a different form at the end of a word
F: Hebrew is written: left-to-right (F=4), right-to-left (F=1), top-to-bottom (F=7)
G: The sign makes a vowel sound like in: far (G=9), rod (G=7), red (G=5), rib (G=3) or foot (G=1)
H - Number of dots in the Braille version of the letter ט (tet) minus 3
J: What other language is written in Hebrew letters: Arabic (J=3), Yiddish(J=4), or both (J=5)

Now let:
S =C-J
The cache is at N 32° 0J.SHG, E 034° 4E.DFB.
Checksum: J+S+H+G+E+D+F+B = A+5

The area is pretty crowded most of the day. Be cautious while searching for the cache, and especially when retrieving and replacing it.
The overall difficulty is mostly due to the hide, not so much because of the puzzle.
There is no pen/pencil in the cache - be sure to bring one, because you must have the log-sheet signed before you can log a "find".

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
