Some words just don’t yet exist in proper Hebrew. When I run out of time on a Friday afternoon before Shabbat, I might be wont to publish about one of these.


הַרְמוֹנְיָה – (hahr-MOH-nee-yah) is part of love. So is peace – שָׁלוֹם (shah-LOHM).

שבת שלום, וסוף שבוע נעים לכולם!
Shabbat Shalom, and a pleasant weekend to all!
