There are a lot of nominal sentences in many languages, especially Semitic languages like Hebrew and Arabic. As you get used to nominal sentences, you will see that sometimes there is a copula inserted that stands for "is" while other times there is not. Also, if you poke around in the DISCUSS area of DL Arabic under "nominal" or "to be" you will find Arabic speakers explaining that there is no verb "to be" in Arabic.
