| אֵיזֶהוּ עָשִׁיר? הַשָּׂמֵחַ בְּחֶלְקוֹ.
Who is wise?
The one happy with his lot.
– The Sages  |
The Hebrew word for wealth is עֹשֶׁר (OH-shehr) – not to be confused with the word for happiness, the subject of tomorrow’s entry.
Thus the word for wealthy is עָשִׁיר (ah-SHEER) in the masculine and עֲשִׁירָה (ah-shee-RAH) in the feminine.
For example:
חָשׁוּב לֶאֱכוֹל מַאֲכָלִים עֲשִׁירִים בְּאַנְטִיאוֹקְסִידַנְטִים.
It’s important to eat foods that are rich in antioxidants.
הֲאִם מְדִינוֹת עֲשִׁירוֹת צְרִיכוֹת לְסַיֵּעַ לִמְדִינוֹת עֲנִיּוֹת?
Must wealthy countries aid poor countries?
