how to say “a sampling” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
Yesterday, we had the Hebrew word for a demo – הַדְגָּמָה (hahd-gah-MAH) – because I’m doing a demo of Ulpan La-Inyan in Raanana this Sunday.
 
To wish you a peaceful, turkey-filled Shabbat (for some of you, at least), I’m going to present a related word: a sampling – דְּגִימָה (de-ghee-MAH). 

For example, אֲנִי אוֹכַל רַק דְּגִימָה שֶׁל פַּשְׁטִידַת הַדְּלַעַת (ah-NEE oh-KHAHL rahk de-ghee-MAH shel pahsh-tee-DAHT hah-DLAH-aht) – I’ll have (literally, eat) only a sampling of the pumpkin pie.
 
Yeah, right.
 
Shabbat Shalom and good weekend to all. If you’re from Raanana or the area, perhaps I’ll see you on Sunday!

how does one say “to contribute” in Hebrew?

ByAmi Steinberger

לתרום   If you’re familiar with Jewish tradition and Jewish law, you probably know the word for contribution – תְּרוּמָה (troo-MAH).
