Thank you to everyone who tried to answer my question of the sound a turkey makes in Hebrew. I received several suggestions as well as some interesting-and fun- turkey related videos.
There were a variety of answers, none of which sounds much like gobble, gobble. The best answer came from my synagogue's operations director, a native Israeli who, confirmed one of the suggestions. A turkey's sound in Hebrew is adar, adar, adar or in some places written hadar, hadar, hadar. If you ask a turkey when Purim is, the turkey will answer Adar, Adar. Aileen Grossberg
