how to say “to encourage” in Hebrew
לְעוֹדֵד
This Sunday, our classes begin afresh in Jerusalem, Efrat and Raanana (Tel Aviv coming very soon!). Our classes are small – and we’ve got a few spots left in all of them.

אֲנִי מְעוֹדֵד אֶתְכֶם (ah-NEE meh-oh-DED et-KHEM) – I encourage you (plural) to find out more by visiting our calendar page.
To encourage is לְעוֹדֵד (leh-oh-DED). It loosely fits into the פיעל (pee-EL) “active-intensive” form.
Encouragement is עִדוּד (ee-DOOD) or חִזּוּק (khee-ZOOK), coming from the word for strong – חָזָק (khah-ZAHK).
