Our words tell a story of who we want to be. They reveal, sometimes unintentionally, what matters most to us and how we portray ourselves to others. Ivriot is a weekly newsletter that aims to make sense of the Hebrew language – one word at a time. How did a Roman coat become an excuse in Hebrew ? Why do tomatoes and STD’s share the same linguistic root? What is hidden and what is public? And how does six millennia of Jewish political life find a foothold in every Falafel stand in Tel Aviv?
I enjoyed that very much! Using the right words in our lives can make a difference between entering a promised land right away or having to wait for 40 years. Looking forward to next post!
