Purim is coming… and these chickens are already getting into the spirit! 
Whether they’re dancing like Haman’s downfall or just celebrating a good plate of hamentashen, one thing is clear—Purim fever is contagious! Who else is ready to party like it’s Shushan all over again?
Tag a friend who needs some simcha (and maybe some better dance moves)! 
Purim is almost here—time for some fun, creativity, and of course… Hebrew wordplay! 
In my YouTube video, “Words in Disguise: Purim Edition”, we’re uncovering hidden connections between Hebrew words in a way that’s playful, engaging, and perfect for the holiday spirit! Think of it as a linguistic costume party—you’ll never look at these words the same way again!

Chag Purim Sameach!

Matzah Bakery
Illustration by Linda Feinberg
"I based this illustration off a photo I took at the matzah bakery in Kiryat Sanz (Netanya, Israel). The bakers were being timed by a rabbi with a stopwatch (not pictured), to ensure the entire process, from beginning to end, doesn’t exceed the strict 18-minute time frame required for kosher matzahs."
After the holiday eve, in the case of Passover - the Seder - start the intermediate days.
That is how we say it in Hebrew in Israel 
Did you know this one? Maybe one of the two words?

My focus in teaching you Hebrew is on modern, everyday Hebrew.
But, today, we're diving into a bit of non-modern, everyday Hebrew with a special reason.
As we often see, biblical Hebrew still finds its way into our modern language.
This evening, we start celebrating ט"ו בִּשְׁבָט (Tu Bishvat) /too bee-sh-'vat/, known as the festival of the trees.
Moadim L’simcha and Chag Sukkot Sameach to all my Jewish friends
Marjorie Taylor Greene Brutally Mocked After Yom Kippur Tweet Gaffe: The far-right representative with a history of antisemitism tried to pretend she knew something about the Jewish holiday.

(I first wrote this as a comment but it's worth enough to be a full post.)
Starting tonight is Rosh HaShana, the Jewish new year!
Here's how to bless your fellow Jews:
- "Shana tova" is a classic. The literal meaning is "a good year".
- You can also go "shana tova u-mutzlachat" (the "ch" pronounced like Bach) for an upgrade.
- Another one that's sure to impress because goyim usually don't know about it is "chatima tova" (again, "ch" like Bach).
