Unlike Judaica Hebraica is meant by literature in Hebrew or written with Hebrew letters (eg Aramaic or Yiddish ). An intersection between Judaica and Hebraica are works in Hebrew letters on Jewish topics. Judaica on the content defined (Judaism ), Hebraica on the form ( writing). Even explicitly anti-Jewish writings in Spanish or Antisemitica apply as a Korean discussion of a Jewish wedding ritual as Judaicum, the translation of a Harry Potter novel into Hebrew as Hebraicum.
