Would be grateful if someone could identify what this is and value, if any. It looks like Hebrew inscription. Thanks

Looks like a token to me:
Right scan reads: Holy Jerusalem
Left Scan reads: The birth of Israel (or something like that)

This is what is known as a "false shekel". The design is based loosely on an ancient Jewish coin, but these pieces are neither ancient nor coins. Read this article for more info.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
