how to say “puddle” in Hebrew

 

having trouble seeing the print?

שְׁלוּלִית


It’s finally been raining here in Jerusalem. The other night, dodging puddles as I walked through the neighborhoods of south Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but smile as I was reminded of this great song, written by Mira Meir and performed by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, as well as more recently by Sinai Tor.

The Hebrew word for puddle is שְׁלוּלִית. The plural is שְׁלוּלִיּוֹת, as in the following line from the featured song:

אֲפִלּוּ שְׁלוּלִיּוֹת קְטָנוֹת הָיוּ מְשַׂמְּחוֹת אֹתוֹ.
Even little puddles would make him happy.
