how to say “to smuggle” in Hebrew
I’m reading a book written by a cousin of my grandmother’s, who was among those in Budapest that helped rescue Jews during the Holocaust. One of the missions he participated in was smuggling Jews across the Romanian border to safety, on their way to אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל (EH-rets yees-rah-EL) – the Land of Israel.
To smuggle is לְהַבְרִיח (le-hahv-REE-ahkh). The word falls into the הִפְעִיל (heef-EEL) verb form. The act of smuggling is הַבְרָחָה (hahv-rah-KHAH)
