My grandmother recently passed away. It was just her and I. This was a necklace she had. Can anyone tell me what the two sides say? Thank you!
שלום לכולם.
In English when a cat sits like in the picture attached it’s called loafing bc they look like a loaf of bread. Is there a Hebrew equivalent for this? My first guess would be something like לְלַחֵם or like לשבת כמו לחם though thats pretty long. Any help would be appreciated!
I know i misspelled some words , my bad
How to say “grateful”? I’m an atheist, and not of Judaism to begin with anyway, so invoking a god in expressing gratitude would not be a propos for me. I love how Baruch hashem rolls off the tongue but it feels odd to say it. But I’d love to say, I am grateful for what you did, or, I am grateful to you.** If you’ll kindly use the English transcriptio**n in your responses, as I can’t read Hebrew quite yet, I’d be.. grateful! Todah in advance.
I’ve created a few flashcards and word lists on Claude and learned the alphabet and a few words.
Is there some kind of a shortcut that I’m missing or do I really need to learn two new words for every definition? At this point I don’t see any other way. It’s taxing my brain like never before and I do know other languages… French in Spanish
My example,
שלום > shalom = hello
Obviously shalom is one of the easy ones, because I’ve already memorized it, because we say it every Shabbat like a thousand times (lol)
Am I on the right track? I probably won’t get as far as conversation but I’d like to learn to read a decent amount
Citizen Cafe alternatives? I'm looking for an alternative to Citizen Cafe. Been taking classes with them for several semesters but they have insisted I repeat the fifth level. I don't really have a problem with repeating except it is literally the same material. Word for word. Would love some suggestions. TIA
Hello everyone. I used the word shalom as a greeting today as its a word used quite often by our clergy over here in Kenya. Was it inappropriate to use it? I'm just curious to know if I was wrong.
Hi, I'm looking for a fluent Hebrew speaker to help me understand what this means:
בְּטַח אֶל-יְהוָה, בְּכָל-לִבֶּךָ; וְאֶל-בִּינָתְךָ, אַל-תִּשָּׁעֵן.
בְּכָל-דְּרָכֶיךָ דָעֵהוּ; וְהוּא, יְיַשֵּׁר אֹרְחֹתֶיךָ.
I know the usual translation is this:
Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
The part I'm struggling with is the "acknowledge" part, because it is attached to a promise that God will direct your paths if you "acknowledge" Him, but this word (to me) is nonsensical and nondescript. I am certain there is a nuance here that is lost in translation and I need to understand the REAL meaning behind this. I've heard other translations translate it as "know", which is better, but still not good enough. I've determined that what I really need is for a fluent Hebrew speaker to translate the FULL context of what is actually being said here in as many words as needed, I want to understand deeply what is being said here.
Can anyone help? If someone can shine a light on this for me and fully explain it I am willing to paypal you $50.
Hello all, I got this pair of rings with almost identical markings through my father, who got them through his mother. Our family originated around the Hungary region (we are Ashkenazi), and I almost recognize these inscriptions as Hebrew. Can anyone read/translate them for me? Does anyone have more information on this type of ring?
I've included multiple photos from all angles. Any help is appreciated!
It means fires — in this case, the increasingly intense wildfires linked to climate change.
The word comes from the root ש־ר־ף, whose basic idea is burning.
You’ll find the same root in:
• לשרוף (lisrof) — to burn
• שריפה (srefa) — a fire / burning
• שרוף (saruf) — burnt
But Hebrew also takes the idea beyond actual fire.
לשרוף זמן (lisrof zman) literally means “to burn time” — to waste or kill time.
And לשרוף קלוריות (lisrof kaloriot) is exactly what it sounds like: to burn calories.
So from forest fires to killing time after work, Hebrew keeps coming back to the same root: ש־ר־ף.
Does your language also “burn” things that aren't actually on fire?
I'm starting a newspaper in an online game.
I'd like it to be bilingual English and Hebrew, but I'm still learning.
The name of the newspaper should deliberately be a double entendre since the content will be mildly erotic (but SFW).
Do you think something like this would work?
(I am aware that English and Hebrew versions are not exact translations; I want both versions to be similarly ambiguous, but not necessarily literal translations).
