I am not looking for a discussion on the subjects. I was hoping for a simple yes or no answer to better understand where everyone is coming from. Was not expecting differences on these subjects.
To some it all up, we believe.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Z'chus: noun. merit.

The "L" is a prefix. In Hebrew, some prepositions are prefixes. L or L' or Li or Le or La are all "to." Hence, L'chaim means what, Count?

Yes! Very good! Now you will never forget that.

Look for the common prefixes: L (is to or for) B (is in or with) K (is like or as) M (is from or than) SH (is that.)

Can you think of Hebrew phrases that start with these prefixes? Can you separate the prefix from the main word?
