[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/זרם-#.m4a” /]זֶרֶם דָּתִי A political or social movement by nature has to do with moving, not staying in one place. The more common word for movement in Hebrew is תנועה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/זרם-#.m4a” /], which applies to movements both literal and symbolic, such as traffic and communism. There’s another word that refers to ideological and religious movement: זרם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/זרם-#.m4a”…

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/לוז-#.m4a” /]לוּ”ז The acronym לו”ז[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/לוז-#.m4a” /] is short for לוח זמנים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/לוז-#.m4a” /] – literally a timetable. This is the Hebrew word for a schedule. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/לוז-#.m4a” /]הלו”ז שלי מלא בפגישות מיותרות. My schedule is filled with unnecessary meetings. and [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/לוז-#.m4a” /]אנחנו נתאים את קורס העברית הפרטי שלך ללו”ז שלך. We will match…

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מיותר-#.m4a” /]מְיֻתָּר Another word in English for unnecessary is extraneous. This translates beautifully with the Hebrew מיותר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מיותר-#.m4a” /], which comes from the word יותר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מיותר-#.m4a” /] meaning more or extra. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מיותר-#.m4a” /]יש לנו איברים מיותרים בגוף. We have unnecessary (extraneous) organs in (our) body. מיותר is a passive פועל form of the root י.ת.ר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מיותר-#.m4a”…

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/איבר-#.m4a” /]אֵיבָר I’m not referring to organ the instrument – that’s אורגן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/איבר-#.m4a” /]. I’m talking about an organ that helps enables our body to function. The Hebrew word for that is איבר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/איבר-#.m4a” /]. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/איבר-#.m4a” /]הם מתפללים לרפואת כל האיברים והגידים. They pray for the healing of all the organs and tendons. איבר…
