(Step 4) Connect the box together. Draw 2 ovals on top of cube.

(Step 5) Draw a letter 'U' shaped curve on the box of each square of the cube. Draw 2 lines connecting the 2 ovals together.

(Step 6) Start drawing the 2 Hebrew letters. They are going to be bubble Hebrew letters, so we are going to draw them in a strange way. Start off by drawing an upside down letter 'Y'-like shape…on the left and draw a rectangle and a square on the right.

(Step 7) On the left, draw a circle and a square. On the right, draw 2 lines.

(Step 8) Draw a letter 'v' shape on each letter.

(Step 9) Erase all the guidelines and you now have two hebrew letters…a gimmel on the left and a nun on the right.
