The Hebrew word העברה (ha’avara) means a transfer of something or someone, usually from one place to another. The transfer could involve money, digital files, and even… football players!

The Hebrew word להעביר is a verb we use a lot. It helps us pass our fare in the מונית שירות, forward emails, transfer money, and even nudge our significant other to change the TV channel

Believe it or not, we Israelis aren’t always running late. Some of us even tend to arrive ahead of schedule. Yes, you read that right. We even have a special verb which means ‘to arrive ahead of time’

“Hey! Check out my Facebook page, and my Twitter, oh, and my TikTok account, and don’t forget my Instagram page.” In Hebrew this is called קידום עצמי, self promotion. Guy explains words and phrases related to promotion, all derived from the root ק-ד-מ

There’s a fairly new Hebrew slang term out in the wild which means “move on!” We Israelis say, תתקדם! The root קדמ in the binyan hitpael form will be the focus of today’s episode
