how to say “exposure” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
Given the Wikileaks story, disclosure seems to be the word of the week.
 
To disclose or to expose, in Hebrew, is לַחְשׂוֹף (lahkh-SOHF). If you’re familiar with the Friday night service of קַבָּלָת שַׁבָּת (kah-bah-LAHT shah-BAHT), you may recognize this word, which appears in the psalm recited before לְכָה דּוֹדִי (le-KHAH doh-DEE).
 
The gerund form of לחשוף is חֲשִׂיפָה (khah-see-FAH), meaning disclosure or exposure.
