I have seen a couple of thin intro books in Hebrew for Unix in bookshops
(Dyiunon, Bug, Kohl Zeev), and there is a book called 'C ka safat am' or
something along these lines. I don't know how good it is. The best would
be a Hebrew translation of K&R, or, even better, ANSI C K&R from a CS101
(?) University course.
