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  .
 
Broken down:
 
חסד   is the word for kindness
עולמי   in the masculine and עוֹלָמִית   in the feminine are adjective forms of the word for world – עוֹלָם  .
 
עולמי thus means global or worldwide.
 
 
 
Happy holidays to our Christian readership בְּרַחֲבֵי הָעוֹלָם   – all over the world!
