If these people were fulfilled, busy building their lives, getting somewhere, investing in a better future for themselves or for others, if they were inspired by life -

They would never dedicate their days to hatred, anti semitism, and pure violence.

I believe that with all my heart.

It is so sad that these people have all the opportunities one could want yet they choose to do nothing productive and fulfilling, not seeing how their own emptiness leaves only room to hate, blame, and hate some more.

No narrative in the world can change the fact that it is about the haters, not about the hated. I want you to remember that, my friends, when times get rough. They are just sad, empty people. Happy, busy, fulfilled people don't have the time for that. We are too busy doing good things with out lives.

The phrase "knowledge is power" takes on a profound significance these days, as we observe an unsettling trend among students who, driven by the currents of popular opinion and social media, are engaging in "protests" fueled by misinformation and, disturbingly, anti-Semitism.

It is critical to step back and consider the true essence and responsibility that comes with this power.

Knowledge isn’t just a collection of facts, but a torch that illuminates the darkness, a tool for making informed decisions, and a bridge towards understanding diverse perspectives.

Unfortunately, these days, this powerful tool is abused and misused, leading not to enlightenment, but to hatered.

When students, who will shape the future of our society, protest based on twisted facts and propaganda, it raises a serious question about the foundations upon which they are building their beliefs and actions.

Your voice is indeed your power, but it must be fueled by genuine understanding and insight.

As people, there is both a right and a responsibility to seek out knowledge that goes beyond the superficial layers often presented by social media or specific narratives.

This means engaging directly with a range of sources, questioning popular opinions, and being prepared to adjust your views in light of new, reliable information.

True empowerment comes from the ability to think critically, to differentiate between opinion and fact, and to understand the historical and cultural contexts of the issues at hand.

It involves developing as a person by interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds, not to confirm your preconceived notions, but to challenge them and grow from the experience.

Engaging with knowledge is about building a more informed, empathetic, and cohesive society. We owe it to ourselves and to each other to strive for a deeper understanding and to use our voices not just to speak, but to speak truth.

So, as you navigate through the noise, remember: your voice is your power, but it's your responsibility to ensure it’s powered by truth and understanding.

My dog is like me. She doesn't need a lot of what she loves. She has probably 5 or 6 toys scattered around the house, but all she really needs is this red toy that she loves.

Sometimes we find her snuggling with it (usually when she can't snuggle with us).

Now, in Hebrew, we use the verb להתכרבל without Nikud (with Nikud is in the video) pronounced /le-heet-kar-'bel/, referring to getting under the blankets or getting comfy in bed or hugging our special someone (or something).

Just like any verb in Hebrew, we conjugate it based on the tense, number of people, and their Gender,

And in Israel, the TV blanket is called כירבולית /keer-boo-'leet/ for the same reason! A word usually only locals know... Now you do too 😃

I hope you are מתכרבלים /meet-kar-be-'leem/ this Shabat morning, and that you're super comfy.

Shabbat Shalom

Unlike most anti-Israel protestors, SHE KNOWS what she is talking about.

Here is someone to educate whoever needs to be educated.

And if you do not wish to educate yourself, do not protest. It's that simple.

🌟✨ Sharing a heartwarming moment from one of my incredible students! 🌟✨

I recently received the most touching message from one of my students, who shared their excitement about reading a complete sentence in Hebrew during the Passover Seder. They credited their accomplishment to the lessons they've learned from using my workbooks. 😊

This message truly touched my heart. As a teacher, there's nothing more fulfilling than knowing my resources are helping students connect with the beauty of Hebrew language and culture. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do, and I'm so grateful to each and every one of you for allowing me to be a part of your learning journey.

Keep shining bright, and may your love for Hebrew continue to grow! 🌟📚✨

Shabbat Shalom to all my wonderful friends! 🕯️

Wishing you a peaceful and joyous weekend filled with rest, reflection, and connection with loved ones.

May this Sabbath bring you renewal and blessings. 🙏

Ready for another duo in Hebrew that has entirely different meaning based on the syllable that is stressed?

To say, they are DIVORCED, we use the Hebrew word /g-roo-'sheem/, in Hebrew with no Nikkud we write it גרושים, and we stress the last syllable in that word.

To say that something is super inexpensive, it barely costs anything, it costs "pennies", native Israelis say /g-'roo-shem/, stressing the second to last syllable. Now, this is not just a random word. It is the plural form of the/g-'roosh/, an old "penny" currency that was used in the region.

If you're new around here, welcome! And make sure to hop on board and start using my game-changing phonetic system (PSP) that allows you to read, write, and say every word in Hebrew correctly, like a true Israeli.

Comment the word EMAIL if you are not on my mailing list yet to get weekly lessons like this and so much more.

Avishai Cohen is an Israeli jazz double bassist, composer, singer, and arranger.

He is a mega talent and while walking the streets in Portugal it was a welcome sight to see his name and feel welcomed.

Here he is in concert:

“How to Say” in Hebrew 🗣️

[hebrewbyinbal]

Received this comment and picture today and felt compelled to share with you all.

Her words resonate profoundly with me. The sentiment shared is truly moving. It's inspiring to witness individuals from diverse backgrounds embrace and pay homage to traditions like Passover with such genuine empathy.

This gesture exemplifies the epitome of human compassion and understanding, showcasing the beauty of our shared humanity. It's a poignant reminder of the boundless potential for kindness and connection within our global community.

I’m thankful she entrusted me with this touching glimpse into her family's journey. May their lives be enriched with continued moments of profound reflection and unity.

Beyond sharing in Hebrew, the support I receive on my platforms during these horrid times in my homeland and abroad lift me up daily.

Embark on a journey of discovery by combining the wonders of nature with the excitement of learning a new language!

Studies show that immersing yourself in nature enhances cognitive function and reduces stress, while learning a new language boosts brainpower and opens doors to new cultures.

So why not embrace the cross-benefit of both? Take your language study outdoors, breathe in the fresh air, and let the beauty of nature inspire your linguistic exploration. 🌍🌿
