Total newb question here. I was reading there is a nib for writing Arabic characters and now wonder if there is yet a different special nib for writing the Hebrew alphabet?

Thanks,

The same nib should do. Or any stub, if held at an appropriate angle. In fact, Arabic qalam reeds are cut to a fairly conventional left foot oblique. It's a case of working out where the thick and thin strokes will be.

Richard Binder sells nibs which he advertises as being suitable for both languages.
