Transcript [00:13] Hi everyone. We'll get started in just [00:15] another minute as more people get signed [00:16] in. [02:13] Okay, let's get started. Hi everyone, [02:16] welcome and welcome back to Cafe Olay. [02:19] We're very excited to have you here for [02:21] our fall 2026 sessions. My name is Jay [02:24] Rosen, [02:26] uh co-founder and host of Cafe Ole with [02:29] Nevesh Benesh.

So [06:56] with that, let's get started. Sorry, [06:59] just having computer issue for one [07:02] second. [07:11] Just make sure it's working. Okay. [07:15] Come on. [07:17] Okay. So, we are specifically starting [07:21] this week to get you ready for the [07:24] Jewish holiday season. I like to call it [07:26] the t in tongue andcheek fashion the [07:28] holiday season because it very much is [07:30] it is a um [07:33] non-stop getting ready for the fall [07:36] holidays um in the Jewish world in [07:38] general but particularly in Israel. So [07:40] this is going to be a refresher, a [07:43] primer as to how and when and why and [07:46] where all the holidays that are about to [07:48] start starting this Friday night. all [07:50] the things you need to be prepared of [07:52] and something I normally like to do [07:54] ahead of the new year which is to talk [07:56] about a very important part of it uh [07:58] blessings curses and wishes a no less [08:01] important part of um this holiday season [08:04] and in general so without further ado [08:06] let's dive right in as always if you've [08:09] joined us in the past but if this is [08:11] your first time I will be sharing a um [08:14] spreadsheet of vocabulary this [08:16] spreadsheet will be included in the [08:18] recording that you saw on um [08:22] uh that you saw on YouTube. So, don't [08:24] worry about writing down everything. If [08:26] you'd like to, by all means do. If you [08:28] want to screenshot, you're welcome to. [08:29] But you will get a full document um in [08:33] our YouTube. And at the top of the hour, [08:35] like I said, I'll answer questions and [08:36] I'll also talk about our Cafe Olay [08:38] conversations, our Wednesday class where [08:40] you get the chance to practice the [08:42] topics we discover here at any level. Um [08:45] as well as next week's classes. So, [08:46] let's get started. [08:48] similar to those of us those of you [08:51] who've joined me um in the past and [08:54] joined us all together for [08:58] uh getting ready for Pesak for the [09:00] holiday of Passover in Israel. You know [09:02] that one of the things I like to do is [09:04] to go over words that originate from [09:08] this season um but that we use all year [09:12] round. So a classic one is nepheshbon [09:16] means an account. It can mean it can [09:19] mean both a bill. It can mean an account [09:21] like a bank account. It can mean the [09:22] bill you get at the end of a meal in a [09:24] restaurant. Okay? And nephesh means [09:27] soul. Neesh benef organization you are [09:31] all joining this evening. Right? So [09:33] nephesh we often translate as an account [09:36] of one's soul. Taking stock of one's [09:39] soul. Right? And this is something that [09:42] ideally, you know, being 21st century [09:45] self-aware uh people that we do on a [09:47] regular basis, but especially ahead of [09:48] the high holiday season and the Jewish [09:51] fall holidays that we take stock of. And [09:53] we use this term all the time. You'll [09:55] hear it a lot in politics and of course [09:56] we're talking a lot about politics ahead [09:58] of um national elections here in Israel [10:01] at the end of October. Very important [10:03] topic. Another one that comes straight [10:06] from the liturgy, from the prayers that [10:07] we say during this time is the [10:09] expression [10:11] or sometimes flipped, [10:14] right? And these are both words about [10:16] terror, terrible and awe inspiring and [10:19] awefearing and all these words. And we [10:22] use this in everyday Hebrew to mean the [10:24] equivalent in English of it's awfully [10:26] terrible. If something is, oh my god, it [10:28] was awful. [10:32] It's slang just like a lot of these [10:34] terms are going to be slang but you'll [10:36] hear it and this is where it originates [10:38] from this exact period we're in. Another [10:41] one in Hebrew we do not say go to hell. [10:45] Okay. In Jewish tradition there are a [10:48] lot of different theories as to what [10:49] happens um when we die. We don't [10:52] necessarily believe in heaven and hell [10:54] as certain other religions do. But we do [10:57] have this notion of um a wilderness, [11:01] right? And especially those of you who [11:03] are familiar with the liturgy this time [11:04] of year and especially ahead of yum [11:06] kipurim yum kipur, you know the um [11:09] biblical account of laying the sins of [11:12] the people of Israel, children of Israel [11:14] on a goat that becomes the scapegoat. [11:16] And the scapegoat is led to the [11:17] wilderness of Aazel, right? Aazel takes [11:21] on that character of somewhere bad. So [11:24] in Hebrew, if you wanted to say to [11:27] someone, "Go to hell," you would say, [11:30] "Go to Aazel." [11:34] And then finally, tok [11:36] is the second word in a very powerful um [11:40] liturggical poem sung this time of year [11:42] called unan, [11:44] right? Um and we give sanctity or [11:47] validity to this day, [11:50] by the way, the same place where this [11:52] comes in. And to is a term we use all [11:55] year round. You actually it pretty much [11:58] every day living in Israel. Why? Because [12:01] tok is also the word that we use in [12:03] modern Hebrew for the expiration date on [12:05] your credit card or on anything that has [12:07] an expiration date. It's tof meaning the [12:10] validity of whatever you're using is up [12:12] until. Right? So to validation validity [12:17] often used as it says here the [12:19] expiration dates. [12:21] Okay, [12:23] let's talk about what to expect. So, [12:25] first off, for the last month, for last [12:28] several weeks leading up to Shaam, it's [12:32] customary depending on your um diasporic [12:36] background, whether you would be saying [12:38] it for a long period or just up until [12:40] the coming week. Um [12:43] comes from the root, [12:48] which has everything to do with [12:49] forgiveness. In modern Hebrew, the very [12:51] important word we use a lot which means [12:54] excuse me or anything along those lines [12:58] both to ask someone uh to forgive you as [13:01] in I need to make my way through or you [13:04] can't believe what they said and you [13:05] want them to repeat themselves. You [13:06] would say [13:08] okay [13:10] but in modern Hebrew [13:13] okay and remember cl folks this is a [13:15] class in modern Hebrew. It is not a [13:17] class in biblical Hebrew, nor is it a [13:19] class that brings in um the [13:23] pronunciation of diaspora communities. [13:25] Those are I'm not invalidating any of [13:27] those. But being a class in modern [13:29] Hebrew, we are going to focus on modern [13:31] Hebrew pronunciation [13:33] is how you would say it in modern Hebrew [13:35] in the state of Israel. A very common [13:37] thing that happens this time of year and [13:39] it actually happens twice during the [13:41] year ahead of the high holidays the [13:44] holiday season and ahead of Pesak in the [13:46] spring which is a haram kosit. [13:50] comes from the verbarim which is to [13:52] raise and kit coming from the word co a [13:56] cup in this case a glass kit is a toast [14:00] right a toast you make over a beverage [14:03] and you'll often see this happen um for [14:06] those of you who are uh in workplaces [14:09] and you work in Israel there will often [14:11] be one organized sometimes if you belong [14:12] to a synagogue they'll do that or any um [14:15] community center sometimes friends will [14:17] come over shortly before the start of [14:19] the holiday season and have a toast, [14:21] right? Raise a glass. Um, welcoming in [14:24] the new year, the festive season and so [14:27] forth. So, it's a very common thing, [14:28] especially in workplaces to have this. [14:30] Okay. In Hebrew, the uh first part of [14:35] the holiday season are called the yamim [14:37] norim. Yamim days coming from not awful [14:42] or terrible, but more the word awe. Awe [14:44] inspiring. Okay, days of awe. you'll [14:47] often hear in English in Hebrew [14:51] and it starts off with sh the new year [14:54] right means head sha year the head of [14:58] the year okay actually Jewish tradition [15:01] has four new years but this is the new [15:03] year right [15:07] um and roshash shah begins this year [15:10] sundown Friday um September 11th and it [15:13] goes through Sunday October 13th you're [15:16] going to see that the dates that we hold [15:18] in Israel are slightly different than [15:20] what you're used to in diaspora because [15:22] usually Israel holds one less day of [15:26] holiday than the rest of the world. The [15:28] exception, one of the exceptions being [15:30] shah. Okay, Roshashana is a two-day [15:33] holiday. Whether you're in Israel or [15:34] diaspora, regardless of how observant [15:36] you are or how non-observant you are, it [15:38] is two days. So, it starts Friday night [15:40] and it goes through Sunday night this [15:42] year. [15:44] The days that follow rash shah in modern [15:47] Hebrew are called ye chuva [15:51] 10 y days chuva repentance. This is one [15:56] long what we call construct noun or in [16:00] Hebrew and you know it's for two [16:03] reasons. The endings of words change. [16:07] All three of these words that you're [16:08] looking at in this line are nouns. [16:11] Normally, if it's a noun and an [16:13] adjective, it's just a noun and [16:14] adjective, just like it is in English. [16:16] But also in English, we have compound [16:17] nouns. Schoolhouse, [16:19] um, dog house, courthouse, homework, [16:22] right? These are all what we call [16:24] construct nouns, where we're taking two [16:26] different nouns, putting them together, [16:28] and introducing a new concept. That's [16:31] the same idea here. [16:33] Comes from the word, the masculine form [16:36] of the number 10. Y comes from the word [16:39] yamim days, but because it's in a [16:42] construct noun, it changes to y. And [16:44] chuva, because it's the last word in [16:47] this line of um compound construct [16:50] nouns, stays the same. So the 10 days of [16:53] repentance, [16:56] followed by yakipurin. You're going to [16:59] hear more often than not in Israel among [17:01] native Hebrew speakers that they [17:02] pronounce this holiday's name as [17:04] yumhakipurin, not yum kipur. that some [17:07] of you may be used to, especially from [17:09] North America. Yumhaurin. [17:11] Okay, same holiday, slightly different [17:14] name, same concept. And this year, same [17:17] as in um throughout Jewish communities [17:19] around the world, it will begin sundown [17:21] September 20th and end sundown September [17:24] 21st. One day [17:27] immediately following [17:29] uh yum kipurim here in Israel you will [17:32] get what we call um [17:36] you will see in many places shuk [17:38] albatam. [17:41] Okay. Albatim. Shuk in modern Hebrew is [17:45] any outdoor open market. And [17:48] refer to the four species, right? Alba [17:51] for and this is another com construct. [17:53] Now, by the way, albatim, [17:56] the four species referring to the four [17:59] um plants, three plants and one fruit [18:02] that we use during the holiday of [18:03] Sukkot. Immediately after Yumakipim, [18:06] you're going to see various shvakim. [18:08] That's the plural of shook, by the way. [18:10] Um where you're able to buy individual [18:13] and collective sets of the four species [18:15] to get ready. It's happens um usually [18:17] outdoors. Big events obviously covered [18:20] um getting people immediately into the [18:22] festive mood for the next holiday which [18:24] is Sukkot. Okay, Sukkot starts um [18:28] September 25th in the evening and ends [18:30] September 26th. Remember folks, it's not [18:34] that it's a one-day holiday. Quite the [18:37] opposite. But the first day is treated [18:39] as a day off work just like how Shana [18:43] and Yumoim are definite days of work [18:45] off. By the way, Yumipoim is the only [18:48] day of the year that the um airport is [18:51] closed. You will also see in majority [18:54] Jewish um populated areas that the major [18:57] roads and highways will be closed. um it [19:00] is technically forbidden to drive in [19:02] those areas but you will see people [19:04] driving nonetheless and sukkot here [19:07] remember is one day at the beginning as [19:09] opposed to two days um held by observant [19:12] Jews around the world in Israel it's [19:13] held one day the first day the rest of [19:16] sukkot is what we call [19:19] right other people may call that in [19:21] English the intermediate days [19:24] right but it's called hamoed in Hebrew [19:27] and that starts the moment the First day [19:29] of Sukkot is over i.e. sundown to [19:32] September 26th goes through sundown um [19:36] October 2nd. [19:38] Okay. [19:40] Immediately after [19:42] we have the combined holiday of [19:48] in Israel these are not two separate [19:50] days that they are in the rest of the [19:51] Jewish world. They're one day mushed [19:53] together [19:55] and is one day starting sundown October [19:58] 2nd going through September um October [20:01] 3rd. October 2nd to October 3rd, right? [20:04] And after the um holiday on the evening [20:09] of October 3rd, many communities includ [20:11] including actual cities, towns, [20:13] municipalities will have what we call [20:15] hakafo. [20:17] Those of you who know about these [20:18] holidays know that [20:20] we parade around um our communities, our [20:24] synagogues, our places of worship with [20:26] the um with the Torah scrolls and often [20:30] to include even more people in the [20:32] festivities, but also to keep the [20:34] festivities going because we've been [20:36] essentially celebrating for weeks now by [20:38] the time we get to the end of we want to [20:42] keep the spirit going. So, a lot of [20:43] municipalities will hold [20:46] a second round of these dancing with the [20:48] Torah, often with live instrumentation [20:51] because as opposed to the previous day, [20:53] it's no longer a holiday. Those who um [20:56] observe can now listen to music much [20:58] less play it. Okay? And then comes [21:02] something very important. And [21:05] if you've said, "Oh, Jay, this doesn't [21:06] sound any different from my community or [21:08] I knew all these things." I need to [21:10] teach you a very important expression. [21:13] And remember that cafe ole, folks, is [21:15] not just about modern Hebrew. It's [21:17] teaching you how to thrive and survive [21:18] in Israel. That includes cultural cues [21:21] and nuances you may not know about. For [21:24] example, the expression [21:29] literally means after the holidays, [21:31] after all this period, and all these [21:34] weeks of celebrating and praying and [21:36] eating and sleeping and whatever else [21:38] you may be doing, we get to a period [21:40] called [21:42] this is the one period in the year that [21:44] Israelis will act like Americans in the [21:47] sense of saying the expression, [21:51] let's meet up after the holidays. [21:55] Um, and it is the equivalent of the [21:58] American expression, let's do lunch, [22:00] which means I'm not actually committing [22:02] to you. Most of the time in Israeli [22:05] society, when you offer to someone, [22:07] let's do lunch, the answer will be [22:09] great. When are you free? Not always, [22:12] but more often than not, that will be [22:14] the case. The exception is when someone [22:16] says something, let's meet up after the [22:19] holidays. Because again, you've just [22:21] gone through weeks and weeks and weeks [22:23] of holidays. You're probably exhausted. [22:26] You're probably not wanting to see many [22:27] more people. You're probably sick of [22:29] your family or sick of your friends or [22:30] both of them or whatever it may be. So, [22:32] people will often say, "I'll take care [22:35] of that after the holidays. I'll uh [22:37] let's meet up after the holidays." That [22:39] could mean everything from literally the [22:41] first day after the holidays, October [22:43] 4th this year, to a couple days later to [22:46] a couple weeks and months later. Okay? [22:48] This is the one time that um we are very [22:54] uh [22:56] flexible [22:58] one way to say it um in our time [23:00] management. Usually Israelis are very [23:01] time manage uh time management flexible [23:03] in that you say you're coming at one [23:05] point you're actually coming several uh [23:07] minutes if not half hour maybe even 45 [23:09] minutes later [23:11] though is saying I'm not committed just [23:13] now I can't commit right now but let's [23:15] be in touch let's do lunch [23:19] some other things that are very specific [23:20] to Israeli society at this time one is [23:24] that you will see people buying and [23:26] giving a ma a ma is simply a package [23:30] But it means a gift package, right? It's [23:32] customary especially because the first [23:34] part of this the very first moment of [23:36] the holiday season is usually celebrated [23:39] as a festive meal at friends or family. [23:42] This year on Friday night, so it's also [23:43] Shabbat, but is also a time together. [23:47] People will give various gifts. One of [23:49] them is a mas that usually has a bottle [23:51] of wine, maybe some foods in it that are [23:53] for this time, and we'll talk about that [23:54] in a minute. Another thing especially at [23:58] workplaces that's customary to do in [23:59] addition to that toast is to give a shy [24:04] or a tav. Both of these are a type of [24:07] holiday gift. Shy simply means a holiday [24:10] gift. Shai is another word for gift in [24:13] Hebrew and the holiday right? So a [24:16] holiday for the gift that could be a it [24:18] could also be a tav. Tav is a gift card. [24:22] Um, one of the most famous ones in [24:24] Israel is called Tav Zahav that you can [24:26] use in hundreds of different stores. [24:29] Another one that's online is called buy [24:31] me. Um, it's a very popular thing to do [24:33] to give a gift certificate with X amount [24:35] of money on it. Okay, [24:38] let's now look at some common [24:40] expressions to wish each other um ahead [24:42] of this new year and the holiday season. [24:45] First off, besote. We've used this one [24:48] unfortunately quite a lot in the last 3 [24:50] years. Um, this is the equivalent in [24:52] English, may we only have good news, or [24:54] it really translates better to good [24:56] tidings. And we say this um to wish for [24:58] quieter, happier times. You've probably [25:00] heard this one more than you ever [25:01] thought um in the last 3 years. [25:05] Two weeks before Shah and up to three or [25:08] four days before, it is customary to [25:10] wish each other a shava. Shaatva simply [25:13] means a happy new year. In Hebrew, it [25:16] literally means a good year, right? But [25:18] in English we would say a happy new [25:20] year. Shava [25:23] good shva is the customary um expression [25:26] you say. [25:28] Two to three days before yipur and on [25:31] yakipur itself you will hear people wish [25:34] each other and of course you can wish [25:36] them as well. [25:39] Okay [clears throat] [25:40] means the completion of [25:43] what is it the completion of? Remember [25:46] in Jewish tradition, the idea being that [25:50] onsh the book of life that says what [25:55] your um upcoming year will look like is [25:58] written and on [26:01] it is sealed. The word for to seal in [26:04] Hebrew s e a l is [26:07] a signature in modern Hebrew. So, may [26:10] you have a a good um completion of the [26:15] signature on your fate for the coming [26:17] years ahead. [26:20] This is an expression even though it's [26:21] based in religion that you will hear [26:23] people um wish each other across [26:26] observance levels. Even non-Jews will [26:28] wish each other will wish Jews that and [26:30] vice versa. Okay, this is a very common [26:32] one. One that is not common, however, [26:35] and I want to preface this very [26:37] carefully in saying we here on this call [26:40] with nephesh benef [26:43] in general in general and the state of [26:45] Israel and all the Israelis in general [26:46] are not monolithic. You may come from a [26:49] community where everyone looks and acts [26:51] the same, maybe has the same observance [26:53] level, maybe has the same background and [26:55] and worldview, but that is not the case [26:57] in Israel. you not for granted [27:01] that everyone around you is of a certain [27:04] observance level. Okay? So it's [27:06] important to know the differences and [27:08] nuances of what you can and cannot say [27:10] or just assume people will understand [27:13] much less respect if you wish. Shaatva [27:15] andva [27:17] are appropriate on all levels. You will [27:19] even see on the LED bus signs um on [27:22] buses themselves they will wish you a [27:24] shinatva and a gumarimatva. By the way, [27:27] also on other public transportation [27:29] modes, what is not common, what is not [27:33] universal and should not be treated as [27:34] universal is to wish someone either a [27:37] sumal or mosal [27:41] means an easy fast [27:44] an [27:47] is typically wished one to two days [27:49] before yipim on the holiday itself. It [27:53] should only be wished to people who you [27:54] know fast. Do not assume that just [27:57] because outwardly they appear Jewish [28:00] that someone is fasting for all sorts of [28:02] reasons. So it's best to stick with [28:06] only if you know the person and their [28:08] observance level should you wish or an [28:12] easy or meaningful fast. [28:16] Got to keep going because it's a long [28:17] holiday season, right? two to three days [28:20] leading up to Sukkot and on the holiday [28:22] itself and before um and you can wish [28:28] and you don't even have to say all you [28:30] have to say is [28:32] simple as that and you'll hear radio [28:34] announcers and TV announcers and will [28:36] say [28:38] by the way you will also hear that [28:40] before [28:42] and during those intermediate days [28:44] before the first day and you'll hear [28:47] people wish each [28:50] Okay, and I'll teach you the reply for [28:52] that in just a minute. [28:54] Okay, these are all different greetings [28:56] that you would give. And finally, [28:59] remember that expression I told you [29:01] after the holidays? There's an [29:04] appropriate expression for that period [29:05] as well. And this is the equivalent in [29:08] English of good luck getting back to [29:09] work. And that can go something like [29:11] this. [29:16] orlashim. [29:18] I like [29:21] right because what does mean is an an [29:25] abbreviation [29:28] a return [29:31] to a routine and we're wishing you [29:33] people after days and weeks of holiday [29:36] and merrymaking to get back to the [29:38] regular everyday life that may be hard [29:40] to readjust to. So, good luck on getting [29:43] back to everyday life or have a happy [29:46] return or a pleasant return to work in [29:49] everyday life. Okay, a great a great [29:52] word um and expression to use. [29:55] So, remember all these different ones [29:57] that you just got and all these [29:59] different expressions. Let's look at [30:01] some ways to uh reply. [30:04] Amen. A very simple one. Yes, indeed. It [30:07] comes from Hebrew. Can you hear? May it [30:11] be. So, it's a very religious one in [30:13] connotation, but that's perfectly all [30:14] right. A classic one that um also you'll [30:19] hear in more observant circles, but [30:22] nowadays by um Israelis of all various [30:24] observant levels, [30:29] to a male, [30:32] to a female. What this translates as in [30:35] English often is sumbayou. There's in [30:38] fact an Israeli TV show, I think it's on [30:39] Netflix now, and they translated the [30:42] title to soon. Bearov means soon. And el [30:48] is a preposition that we don't quite [30:50] have a direct translation for in [30:51] English. It's closer to the French word, [30:55] cez, which means by or at, right? So, [31:00] if someone wishes you mazalto, for [31:03] example, and we'll get to that one in [31:04] just a minute, right? Congratulations. [31:08] One common reply to that is not just but [31:12] to be even more polite you would say [31:15] or depending on their gender meaning [31:18] thank you for that. I'm I'm blessed to [31:21] have that [31:23] fortune that luck soon may you have the [31:25] same luck or similar okay [31:30] or simply or same to you. [31:35] And finally, the expression that's [31:38] replied to someone who says wishes you [31:42] can reply. [31:45] It's very traditional. It's obviously a [31:47] long expression. If that's hard, you can [31:49] also wish someone. [31:53] Okay, let's get to some more things. And [31:56] if we have time, answer some questions. [31:58] On some of you may be familiar with this [32:01] custom, some of you may not because it [32:03] comes from um [32:05] and communities is what we call a [32:08] sedash. [32:10] Um as in as in pes, right? A ritual that [32:16] became so popular we actually do it [32:17] twice during the year, three times [32:19] during the year. The first and main one [32:21] on Pesak. The second one on Tishvat, the [32:24] holiday of trees and the third here on [32:28] Roshana itself where we eat a series of [32:30] auspicious foods that are meant to give [32:33] us um a good start to the year. And [32:36] those auspicious foods in Hebrew are [32:37] called simanim. Siman in modern Hebrew [32:40] is a sign. Okay? Not necessarily a road [32:44] sign, but a sign of something, right? a [32:48] sign of good luck, a sign of misfortune [32:50] and so forth or it's a sign that it's [32:54] time to go, right? It's not a literal [32:56] sign, it's a figurative sign. Same thing [32:58] here. So, the idea is that we eat a [33:01] series of foods that is either um looks [33:06] like or its name is a word play on [33:08] something good. And all of these are [33:10] done basically like a toast, like a [33:13] we're not saying an actual blessing. [33:14] We're saying [33:17] may it be your will God that and then [33:20] the following [33:22] um toast right will be over that food [33:26] that we're eating and the idea that we [33:28] are ingesting we are taking in something [33:31] auspicious from the food. So for [33:32] example, the classic one, apples dipped [33:35] in honey, right? And it goes something [33:36] like this [33:44] that uh we may be renewed with a good [33:48] and sweet new year, right? And the idea [33:50] because apples and honey is very sweet. [33:52] There are ones over um carrots cut into [33:56] coins because that looks like um gold [33:59] coins. There are ones over dates, the [34:02] fruit. Um because the word for date [34:05] sounds very similar to the verb for to [34:07] end. And that gets very much into um our [34:10] enemies that they they may be their [34:12] their decrees against us may be ended or [34:14] eating beats because the word for beat [34:17] in Hebrew cel is very similar to the [34:19] root for the verb to get rid of le [34:23] or all sorts of other auspicious foods [34:25] some of you may know and you can [34:26] certainly look those up on your own. But [34:28] it's a very common um part of the [34:31] holiday meal specifically this year on [34:34] Friday night, this coming Friday night. [34:36] And speaking of auspicious foods and [34:38] toasts and things like that, let's get [34:40] into a little bit of what we you're [34:43] hearing already, which are blessings, [34:45] wishes, and curses because that is very [34:47] appropriate for this time of year. A [34:49] blessing in Hebrew, many of you know [34:50] this word is a braha. Braha is one [34:53] blessing. Blessings. [34:56] Okay. a mishallah or a mish or mish [34:59] allot the plural are wishes [35:03] for yourself right if you're making a [35:05] wish for yourself it's called a mishah [35:07] if you're making a wish for someone else [35:10] that word is right so if you're wishing [35:13] someone congratulations one way you'll [35:14] hear it is the wordim congratulations [35:16] [clears throat] [35:17] wishes good wishes for someone okay both [35:21] of these words mean wishes it's just for [35:23] who it is for yourself [35:26] for someone else [35:28] and of course not just because some of [35:31] the sim come with this but this is the [35:33] time of year to reflect on some of the [35:35] things we've said or been said to us is [35:37] the word clala clala in Hebrew the [35:40] plural clalot are curse is a curse or [35:42] curses okay and finally resolutions some [35:47] of us may have this tradition some of us [35:49] may not okay but in modern Hebrew the [35:52] word for resolution is an interesting [35:54] word it's [35:55] haklot is also the um word in modern [36:00] Hebrew for decision, right? The idea [36:02] being that if you're going to make a [36:03] resolution, it's a decision that you're [36:05] making for yourself. Not something to [36:07] say and then throw away, but you're [36:08] actually going to commit to it. Um it's [36:11] not a very common thing to do like it is [36:13] in other societies around the world [36:15] where you give New Year's resolutions, [36:17] but it is a word nonetheless that's [36:19] going to be used. Okay, let's how let's [36:23] find some ways to express some of those [36:25] blessings, mishot wishes and kalot wish [36:29] curses, right? You can use verbs like [36:33] I hope [36:37] I expect. [36:42] I aspire. [36:46] I fear or I'm afraid. [36:49] or al I dream of or about. Okay, great [36:54] ways to start. And by the way, this is a [36:56] uh preview of what we're going to be [36:58] doing on Wednesday in our cafe [37:00] conversation class where you'll have a [37:02] chance to practice a lot of the words [37:03] that we're seeing and give you guided [37:06] conversation prompts. So, in your groups [37:07] from the most beginners to the most [37:09] advanced, you'll be able to use some of [37:11] these expressions. [37:13] Right. Let's look at some common [37:16] blessings, wishes, and curses that [37:17] you'll hear all year round. Not just [37:19] during this period, but especially this [37:20] time as well. [37:23] Many of you know this one. Literally [37:25] translates to life. This is our [37:26] equivalent of cheers in Hebrew. You'll [37:29] hear people use this all the time. [37:30] Toasting over a drink. [37:33] Ka cavod. Kola cavode means good job. By [37:36] the way, this can you be used just like [37:37] in English sarcastically, but also [37:40] authentically. It depends on the [37:41] context. It depends on your voice, your [37:43] tone. It's the same type of tone um that [37:46] you would use in English to be [37:47] sarcastic. Oh, [37:50] right. Oh, good job means not really. [37:54] Okay. [37:55] Mazaltov. Congratulations. [37:58] Right. Mazalto. By the way, this is how [38:01] we pronounce it in modern Hebrew. It is [38:04] mazaltov. The default emphasis in modern [38:07] Hebrew is always on the last syllable. [38:09] So, it's mazaltov. [38:11] Okay. And this is often used quite a [38:14] lot. For example, on birthdays to wish [38:17] someone a happy birthday, you do not [38:18] need to say yum. [38:21] That's the term that we often learn when [38:23] we're learning u modern Hebrew abroad. [38:26] And we certainly know the Hebrew song. [38:29] That's actually the English translation. [38:31] We have our own in Israel. Similar [38:34] words, but slightly different. But it's [38:36] also similar common to just wish someone [38:38] mazalto. [38:40] In addition to mazalto meaning [38:42] congratulations, we have another [38:43] congratulations which is also important [38:45] to know which is bisha tova. Sha means [38:48] an hour or in general time and tova [38:51] good. Okayva [38:54] is when you want to wish congratulations [38:56] to an event which hasn't taken place. [38:58] The most famous example is someone um [39:01] who is expecting. And you even notice [39:03] what I just said. I didn't say the [39:05] person is pregnant. I said they're [39:06] expecting because Jewish tradition [39:09] places a lot of understanding on the [39:12] process of giving birth. It's not an [39:14] easy one. We don't want to take it for [39:16] granted. It's one of the many reasons [39:17] why in Jewish tradition typically you [39:19] don't have baby showers if God forbid [39:21] something happens. And it's also the [39:23] reason why if someone announces usually [39:26] indirectly that they're expecting the [39:29] the correct reply is not mazalto because [39:32] it hasn't happened yet but rather [39:35] that's the case for a whole lot of other [39:37] things. Someone is in the process of [39:39] potentially getting offered a new job. [39:42] They haven't been offered it yet. [39:44] Someone is about to do um something [39:48] really good and important in their lives [39:50] but they haven't completed it yet. [39:51] Bishhatva. [39:53] Okay. May it happen at a good time. [39:57] Surprise. You're at a surprise party in [40:00] Israel. You want to know what to scream. [40:01] You're literally screaming the word in [40:03] Hebrew surprise. Hafta. Okay. Hafta. [40:10] A more religious expression in uh [40:12] context, but nonetheless means good job [40:16] or [40:19] Okay. Again, more religious in [40:21] connotation, but used nonetheless. [40:24] A great one you'll learn, I'm teaching [40:27] you now that you'll really only hear in [40:28] Israel is the term. You would say to a [40:31] male, to a female, to a group of people. [40:35] This is what you say to someone when [40:37] they've done something new. Bought a new [40:39] item of clothing, bought a house, bought [40:41] a car, got a haircut, even you wish that [40:43] person, titi, or titu depending on their [40:47] gender and plurality. Okay. Um, it's a [40:50] really nice one. It comes from the root. [40:54] Many of you know the word new. So, it's [40:57] that you have been renewed. Um, and [41:00] wishing them good luck with that. [41:04] Um, many of the slang and everyday [41:06] expressions we have in modern Hebrew [41:08] come from Arabic. Arabic is the next [41:11] most populous language spoken in the [41:12] state of Israel. It's spoken by all our [41:15] neighboring countries. It is also spoken [41:17] by many many Jews who um not only fled [41:22] to the newly born state of Israel um [41:25] after 1948. But Jews coming from Muslim [41:28] speak Muslim countries constitute the [41:30] majority of Jews in Israel as opposed to [41:32] other Jewish communities around the [41:33] world where it's the reverse. Jews [41:35] coming from central and eastern Europe [41:36] are the majority. Okay. And speaking [41:39] Arabic, a lot of that Arabic got infused [41:41] into everyday Israeli life. So the um [41:46] blessing [41:48] sen comes from the Arabic word for [41:50] health [41:52] means double the health. So like good [41:54] job all the you are you [41:59] another term from Arabic is [42:03] should sound very similar to the word [42:06] because it has the same root albeit in [42:07] Arabic. Mabuk means congratulations and [42:10] you'll hear either or [42:14] congratulations upon you. Blessings upon [42:16] you. Okay, again you don't have to be [42:20] from a um [42:23] ori background to use these, but it's [42:25] more commonly heard by them. And then [42:27] finally, good luck. Good luck in Hebrew [42:30] is not mazaltov. That is an incorrect [42:32] translation. Remember mazaltov is [42:34] congratulations. Good luck in Hebrew is [42:39] means may you be wished in success. [42:44] Means to succeed. So may you have much [42:47] success. [42:48] Good luck. This is what you wish to [42:50] someone before a job interview, a test, [42:53] uh something arduous. [42:56] Okay. Some other blessings that we use [43:00] throughout the year. [43:03] Anytime you're going on a long journey [43:06] by car, by train, by public [43:07] transportation, by private [43:08] transportation, nistova, a long [43:11] bonvoage, it is very much the equivalent [43:13] of bonvoage. [43:15] And also, [43:17] anytime you fly through Israel to and [43:19] from Israel, whether it's through lal, [43:21] whether you're getting checked in, [43:22] doesn't matter. They're going to wish [43:23] you, may you have a pleasant flight. [43:28] We often say safe flight. We're actually [43:30] saying pleasant flight, by the way. Some [43:32] other ones [43:35] only health. May you only have good [43:36] health. [43:40] Feel well, feel better. [43:51] recovery or get better soon. You can say [43:55] you can also say [43:57] coming more from Jewish tradition or in [44:00] more modern Hebrew [44:03] a speedy recovery means recovery [44:07] speedy. [44:09] And then finally, [44:11] at least in this category, right, is the [44:14] expression [44:16] or [44:18] okay. Um, this translates literally as [44:21] may you be healthy, but it doesn't mean [44:23] to be healthy in a good way. Okay? If [44:26] someone says to you, [44:28] you may want to do whatever you do to [44:30] ward off the evil eye. Spit a few times, [44:33] throw some salt over your shoulder, [44:34] whatever you do, this is not something [44:37] good. If someone wishes you be healthy, [44:39] this is the um way to curse someone out [44:43] without them incurring a curse. [44:47] Or literally means may you be healthy, [44:50] but it doesn't quite mean that. It's [44:51] like hold on to your health cuz you're [44:53] going to need it is a better translation [44:55] or at least in its connotation. [44:57] Okay. [44:59] Um we talked about [45:02] is another term that expression that we [45:04] use um when things are not great, right? [45:06] that we may only meet inot in good [45:09] times. [45:12] And finally, I want to give you a whole [45:14] bunch of ways to make up your own curses [45:17] and wishes and blessings. Okay? If you [45:21] want to say, "May we do something," [45:23] you're going to start with the prefix [45:26] sh. She in Hebrew means that or which. [45:29] But when we use it at the beginning of [45:31] these types of sentences followed by the [45:33] the future tense of a verb, it means may [45:36] we, [45:38] right? Because n is the beginning of [45:40] verbs conjugated in the future tense for [45:43] we first person plural. [45:45] For example, [45:48] may we meet soon. May we meet up soon. [45:51] That prefixes [45:54] we will meet up [45:56] soon. But that sheni pages turns it from [45:59] we will meet up soon to may we meet up [46:02] soon. [46:04] Okay. [46:07] And we can do this in first and third [46:09] person um tense first uh persons, right? [46:13] First and third may he, may she, may I, [46:16] may we, and may they. Okay. Very nice [46:20] way to wish good and maybe not good. [46:23] Speaking of which, right, if you want to [46:26] say go blank [46:29] to someone or something, you can fill in [46:31] any verb you want using the command form [46:34] of the verb to go le or le depending on [46:37] the gender of the person you're speaking [46:38] to. And then it's followed either by the [46:40] infinitive form starting with the [46:42] lamemed or future tense second person. [46:45] Um, those of you who join on Wednesday, [46:48] because the class is not recorded and is [46:50] off record, I will be more than happy to [46:53] go into specifics if you want to know [46:55] how to say some of these things that I'm [46:56] sure you can figure out what I'm talking [46:58] about in English, but in Hebrew, [47:01] if you want to say, "May you have [47:04] or [47:07] depending on the gender both of the [47:09] person talking and the thing you're [47:12] talking about." So if you want to wish [47:13] someone a good new year, you can say or [47:16] you can say [47:20] or [47:23] it's because sha is feminine. When we do [47:27] possessives in Hebrew, we are not [47:29] referring to ourselves. In English, we [47:31] have the verb I have. Okay? And we use [47:33] it as a regular verb. Hebrew does not [47:35] have a verb to have. Therefore, we have [47:37] to do a construct that places the [47:39] emphasis on the object that's being [47:41] possessed rather than than by the [47:43] possessor. So, [47:46] I'm speaking to a male because I'm [47:47] saying [47:50] may you have a good new year [47:54] right as in [47:57] perfectly illustrated here. [48:00] finally or a little bit more and then [48:03] I'm going to take some questions and I'm [48:04] going to show you the conversation [48:05] prompts even for this week to encourage [48:07] as many of you as possible to join us. [48:09] It's often great and I'll talk a little [48:10] bit about it. If you want to say long [48:12] live, long live the king, long live the [48:15] queen, long live the revolution, [48:17] whatever it may be, the word is either [48:19] if the thing that follows it is [48:21] masculine or if it's feminine. [48:25] And then finally, again, um, derivating [48:28] from Arabic, but you'll also hear this [48:30] all the time. If you want to either [48:32] curse someone out or give them a [48:34] compliment, you will start with yah. Yah [48:37] in Arabic is what you use to directly [48:40] speak to someone, right? So, for [48:42] example, if someone in um speaking [48:44] Arabic wanted to speak directly to me [48:46] and make it clear they were speaking to [48:47] me, they would say, "Yaj, [48:50] okay?" Knowing that they're speaking [48:51] directly to me. So, same thing here. If [48:53] you want to give someone a compliment, [48:55] for example, um, [48:59] what a cutie is, right, in modern [49:03] Hebrew, but in Arabic and now in Israeli [49:06] slang, you could say, [49:09] "Oh, you you sweetie pie, right? You [49:12] cutie, you." Right? That obviously can [49:15] also be used as a curse. You can fill in [49:17] the blank and be creative as you want. [49:20] Another way we can make wishes and [49:21] blessings are using any of the three [49:23] words [49:27] and all of these are usually followed by [49:29] the future tense because it's a wish for [49:32] the future. [49:33] Okay. On Wednesday and actually ahead of [49:36] Wednesday, so highly encourage all of [49:39] you to sign up for Cafe Olay [49:40] conversations even if there's a chance [49:42] you may or may not um join. You will get [49:45] a copy of all of these conversation [49:47] prompts. We may even include it in this [49:49] week's um uh [49:53] um uh vocabulary list of all these [49:56] different ways to start a conversation [49:59] about um wishing each other and what we [50:02] wish for and things like that and even [50:03] raising a a glass as a toast to each [50:05] other, right? And so you're going to get [50:07] all these different ways to do it [50:08] regardless of your Hebrew level. will [50:10] see it's all has vowels, the niku, the [50:13] dots and bars that indicate vowel sounds [50:16] as well as transliteration for American [50:17] English on the right. Okay, you're going [50:19] to get all this. You're going to get [50:20] even more. Those of you who sign up for [50:23] Wednesday, you're going to get holiday [50:24] season small talk. You're going to be [50:26] able to practice all sorts of different [50:28] things to making plans, talk about all [50:30] sorts of different things at dinner and [50:32] so forth. Highly encourage you all to [50:34] sign up. Um that will be Wednesday 7 PM [50:38] um uh here on Zoom. The link if you [50:42] haven't gotten it already is on our [50:43] website as well as in your emails. Um [50:46] I'm going to answer some questions right [50:47] now. Highly encourage you all to join on [50:49] Wednesday. Before we get to questions [50:51] first off to thank you all for joining. [50:54] Um we're almost at 300 people on this [50:56] call. So that is a testament to your [50:59] passion wanting to learn the language. [51:00] So [51:02] thank you so much. Next week after the [51:05] start of the holiday season, we are [51:07] going to get to everyday expressions in [51:10] Hebrew. And these aren't everyday [51:11] expressions that you are likely going to [51:14] learn in ulan or in day school or [51:17] yeshiva or university. Rather, ones [51:19] you're going to hear every day in [51:20] Hebrew. Really important ones that are [51:22] probably part of your own vocabulary in [51:24] your native language. But we're going to [51:25] learn them and practice them together [51:27] next week. But in the meantime, let me [51:29] answer some questions in the Q&A. [51:35] Okay. [51:48] Okay. Someone's asking again about [51:49] zazelle as I explained right in Jewish [51:53] tradition we don't have a concept of [51:54] hell in the same way other religions do. [51:57] And the closest we have as an expression [51:59] of go to hell isazelazel, [52:02] right? Whether that's an actual place, [52:04] whether that's a person, whatever it may [52:06] be. Okay? Aazel is how we say as inel go [52:12] to hell. Okay? [52:14] We also use it as someone is asking in [52:17] the questions and answers, [52:19] "What the hell is that?" Yes, that is an [52:22] expression. It's not very common. We [52:24] have other ways to say a similar thing. [52:25] I'll be happy to answer those. um give [52:27] those at another time. [52:30] Is it correct to use matanote or shag? [52:33] Please explain the difference between [52:34] context and usage. Great question. I [52:36] explain this all the time. It's a really [52:37] important one. If you're typing away in [52:40] the Q&A and chat, please stop and [52:41] listen. Modern Hebrew, like ancient [52:44] Hebrew, like all Semitic languages, has [52:47] a high emphasis on aesthetics. And the [52:51] aesthetics of modern Hebrew, like all [52:53] Semitic languages, is the following. The [52:55] shorter the word, the shorter, the fewer [52:58] letters, the fewer syllables, the fewer [53:00] words you need to explain the exact same [53:03] idea, the better. So, matana is three [53:08] syllables and four letters. Shai is one [53:12] syllable and two letters. In a [53:15] head-to-head contest between these two [53:17] words, shai will always win. Hebrew is [53:20] known for not having long words. Shai [53:23] will always win. [53:26] is shorter than [53:29] it's quicker. It's shorter in writing [53:31] and therefore it's more preferable. [53:33] Therefore, shahag is what you will [53:35] normally hear. Yes, you will hear people [53:37] say matana but shag is going to be much [53:40] more popular and much more preferable. [53:43] The shorter the word that means the [53:45] exact same thing as a longer version, [53:46] the better. Shai and matana are [53:49] synonyms, but shai will win almost [53:51] always when talking about things like [53:53] this. Matana in general, yes, is a very [53:55] common Hebrew word. It means gift. It [53:57] means present. But when we're talking in [53:59] the specific cultural context of gifts [54:01] given before the holiday season, [54:04] especially in workplaces, it's almost [54:06] always going to be called shy. [54:11] Okay. [54:16] Um [54:20] cavode literally means all the honor. [54:22] Cavode means honor or respect. But we [54:24] don't translate it like that. We use it [54:26] as good job. [54:32] Okay. [54:35] I see a lot of people asking questions [54:37] that I explained. So I'm going to skip [54:38] over them and I'm going to let you watch [54:40] the recording again. All the more reason [54:42] I love the energy and I love the [54:44] excitement asking questions. But I did [54:46] explain the difference between and [54:50] um just like there's a difference [54:52] between congratulations and good luck in [54:53] English. It's the same thing there. [54:57] Um [55:01] what's the specific meaning of alle in [55:04] Arabic? Al is the equivalent of in [55:07] Hebrew. It just simply means upon you. [55:09] On you. [55:12] Um do Israelis say [55:15] You can simply say [55:17] you don't have to say it's implied when [55:19] you say someone at complete health it's [55:21] implied it means as soon as possible but [55:23] as complete shalem as possible [55:30] um [55:35] to say having the verb healed conjugates [55:37] according to the thing had so why not [55:41] refers to not to you may you have a good [55:45] new year. The the you is not the verb [55:51] refers to shah not to you. Um as I've [55:55] explained before when we talk about [55:57] possessives in Hebrew, you are not the [55:59] center of the universe. The thing that [56:00] is possessed is okay. You are not the [56:03] center of that that sentence refers to [56:06] sha not to you. [56:10] Um, [56:19] roughly how long do these sessions long [56:21] after these sessions do the recordings [56:22] get posted to YouTube? A day or two. [56:24] Usually even a few hours later. [56:28] Um, [56:30] is there a s single word for a curse? [56:32] Yes, I just shared it with you. The word [56:34] is clala. Clala. Okay. Um, we're at the [56:38] top of the hour. [56:40] Thank you all for joining. This class [56:41] and the spreadsheet you just saw will be [56:43] up on YouTube in the next day or two. [56:45] Highly encourage you all to join for uh [56:48] cafe relate conversations on Wednesday [56:49] at 7:00 p.m. Please sign up as soon as [56:51] possible so you get the um uh [56:54] conversation prompts to prepare in [56:56] advance so that you'll know to how it [56:58] all works because we also put some [57:00] explanations in that uh email, the [57:02] reminder email. Until then, this [57:05] recording will go up in the next day or [57:07] two. next week's class all about [57:09] everyday expressions that we use all [57:10] throughout the year not just this time [57:12] of year and hope to see you all on [57:14] Wednesday if not next week in the [57:16] meantime as it is start of this season [57:19] wishing you all a shva [57:22] a sweet and happy new year ahead until [57:24] then until next time I see you [57:27] take
