Help a struggling Hebrew character (5)
I believe the answer is:
aleph
'hebrew character' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'help a struggling' is the wordplay.
'struggling' is an anagram indicator.
'help'+'a'='helpa'
'helpa' is an anagram of 'ALEPH'.
(Other definitions for aleph that I've seen before include "letter in Middle East" , "Abroad, a" , "Hebrew character" , "Sign of a beast? A Phoenician" , "First letter of the Hebrew alphabet" .)
