עוֹלָמִי

 

 

Today, Christians around the world are celebrating the well-known and beloved holiday, Christmas.
 

 

 
one Jew’s answer to the popularity of Christmas
 
One gift that Christianity has delivered to the world is an emphasis on kindness.

Here’s how to say global kindness in Hebrew: חֶסֶד עוֹלָמִי listen and repeat.
 
Broken down:
 
חסד listen and repeat is the word for kindness
עולמי listen and repeat in the masculine and עוֹלָמִית listen and repeat in the feminine are adjective forms of the word for world – עוֹלָם listen and repeat.
 
עולמי thus means global or worldwide.
 
 
 
Happy holidays to our Christian readership בְּרַחֲבֵי הָעוֹלָם listen and repeat – all over the world!
