In fact, the world\x26#39;s largest Scrabble club meets in Jerusalem. Every Tuesday night, some 55 people bring their obscure vocabularies and their game boards to the third floor of the Beit Ha\x26#39;am Municipal Library to lay out their wooden tiles in a fierce battle of words.\x3c/p\x3e\n\x3cp\x3eThere are six Scrabble clubs in Israel, a country whose official languages are Hebrew and Arabic, not English, the language of play. This sometimes leads to laughable mistakes when someone tries to play a Hebrew word, like \x26quot;tankist,\x26quot; meaning a tank crew member, that sounds like it could be English, but isn\x26#39;t.\x3c/p\x3e\n\x3cp\x3eWhy don\x26#39;t Israelis play Scrabble in their native language? Two Hebrew versions of the game do exist, but the lack of vowels in the \x3cem\x3ealef-bet \x3c/em\x3e means that almost any string of letters (or tiles) makes a valid word. And one of the Scrabble versions leaves out the letter k\x3cem\x3e (khaf).\x3c/em\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\n\x3cp\x3eSo why do Israelis play at all? \x26quot;Scrabble refreshes my English,\x26quot; says David Ginsberg who attends a club in Modi\x26#39;in. \x26quot;More importantly, it\x26#39;s social and it\x26#39;s fun.\x26quot;\x3c/p\x3e\x3c/div\x3e\n  \x3c/div\x3e\n  \x3c/div\x3e\n    \x3c/div\x3e\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\x3c/div\x3e \x3c/div\x3e" }
