Hi, I'm new to LyX and I have an irritating bug which prevents me to compile documents in Hebrew. When I insert English letters I can compile the document to a P.D.F file. But when I'm using Hebrew letters, for example, typing the Hebrew letter 'alef', I get the following error:
"Undefined control sequence <argument> \alef"
I have installed all the packages for using Hebrew letters so I don't understand why I'm getting this error. Thanks for anyone who is willing to give me some help.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Can't compile LyX document with Hebrew letters
Hi and welcome,
i don't know hebrew, but isn't it aleph?
Nevertheless, i suggest to use XeLaTeX. You can use your regular (system) font you use for writing hebrew as well as english.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Re: Can't compile LyX document with Hebrew letters
Did it work? Are you able to compile LyX's Hebrew documents? (look in examples/he and in doc/he). I can compile them all fine on Ubuntu with the fonts installed.
