I’m just learning Hebrew myself, and I’m really into phonetics, so here is an idea: The R in modern Hebrew is a voiced uvular approximant for most speakers — a so-called “guttural” R. (Although some speakers use an apicoalveolar version as well.) The French and German “guttural” Rs are similar but not identical. Here’s a webpage I came across that has audio samples from Israelis (as well as videos by Frenchmen, but I would ignore the French ones, as French Rs tend to be a bit different — the Israeli R is very soft). http://www.teachmehebrew.com/hebrew-r-and-kh-sounds.html Description: the Israeli R is formed with the back of the tongue in the back of the mouth, similar to the Israeli KH (as far back as possible in the mouth, but not in the throat), but the airflow should not be nearly as constricted (it’s an approximant, not a fricative). Also, unlike the KH (or French R), the vocal cords should usually be vibrating the whole time you say the R. Also, do not allow the syllable final R to change the quality of the preceding vowel, or you’ll sound German or non-rhotic English. Also, in my opinion, Yosi Azulai’s R is a good example. You can hear it in Ana Bekoakh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NCJzA39qbA
