As in Received Pronunciation, /l/ is clear [l] when before a vowel and dark [ɫ] otherwise. People often vocalize dark L to [w] but this doesn't happen in careful pronunciation. The clear L-dark L distinction is marginally phonemic in poetry where shva may or may not be pronounced according to poetic license: the shva in מילאו (Hăvohróh Măcubéleth /mɪləˈʔʉː/) 'they filled' vs. מלאו(Hăvohróh Măcubéleth /mɪɫˈʔʉː/) 'fill! (2pl imperative)' may both be [ə] or both silent, hence [mɪl(ə)ˈʔʉː] and [mɪɫ(ə)ˈʔʉː] respectively.
