BLOOPER TIME! 04/26/2009
When learning a new language, one is definitely going to experience embarrassing moments. Tonight, I had one! We are moving and the landlady came by to show the place... I was trying to get on her good side and I told her we would have her over to our new place and cook her dinner, because she is the queen... BUT in hebrew, QUEEN is Malaka and I replaced it with Malkhama, which means WAR. I caught myself immediately, but it was too late... We all had a good laugh. Israeli Praise Music 2008 Concert 12/19/2008
About 1300 Israelis gathered (half at 6:00pm and half at 8:45pm) for an all-Hebrew Praise experience on Thursday night at the Pavilion Jerusalem. 18 songs that were written in 2008 were introduced to Israel and were recorded live for the new CD coming out in the spring. It was so exciting to see everyone praising God with such enthusiasm - and all of it was in Hebrew. I haven't learned alot of the Biblical words necessary to understand all of the songs, but I had a great time! Afterward, I was invited to a birthday party and I didn't get back to Tel Aviv until 4am! Yikes. I'm paying the consequences for it now - I'm SICK!!! Yuck!     Hebrew... WOW!!! 10/30/2008
    OK... So most everyone knows that I am learning ot speak Hebrew, but did you know that in Hebrew you can add without numbers... Well, that's because each letter corresponds to a number. The name of the LORD is written above, both horizontally from right to left, and vertically from top to bottom (this is known as the Adam Kadmon - because it looks like a human [the LORD created Man in His image in this way too!]). His Name adds up to 26... Yud=10, Heh=5, Vav=6, Heh=5... so you then add those up... 10+5+6+5=26. Thus , the number 26 can be used to represent YHVH. So can the letter Aleph... א. The reason being... Within the Aleph is a 6 or Vav =ו and two 10's or yud's = י. This can be added to 26... 6+10+10=26... So Aleph can represent the LORD.  |  ArchivesSeptember 2009 CategoriesAll |
