how to say “the international community” in Hebrew

 

הַקְּהִלִּיָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית
 

 

 
The common Modern Hebrew word for community is קְהִלָּה   . This word appears in Biblical Hebrew, but there the more common word is קָהָל    or עֵדָה   .
 
Now קהילה refers to a community of people, linked by common interests or geography. But to describe a community of institutions or nations, Modern Hebrew has created קְהִלִּיָּה   .
 
For example:
 
הַקְּהִלִּיָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית מְגִיבָה.
The international community is responding.
 
 
Sometimes the international community is also referred to as הַקְּהִלָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית   .
