[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /]תִּירוֹשׁ, מִיץ עֲנָבִים

The Hebrew word for juice is מיץ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /], as in:

מיץ תפוחים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /] – apple juice

מיץ תפוזים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /] – orange juice

מיץ עגבניות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /] – tomato juice

etc.

But while מיץ ענבים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /] is a term people sometimes use to refer to grape juice, they’re more likely to use תירוש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /], a special word for the unfermented juice of the vine.

For example:

Do you you guys want wine or grape juice for Kiddush?

*קידוש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/תירוש-#.m4a” /] – Kiddush – is the sanctification ceremony of Shabbat and festivals, made over wine.
