These letters have a double role: as consonants and as part of the nikud symbols (as vowels). For example: ‫יתוֹן‬ִ‫ע‬ - The letter ‘‫ י‬is part of the chirik preceding it and is not pronounced as a ‘y’ sound. In the word ‫ילד‬, the ‘‫ י‬functions as a consonant and is pronounced yeh. In punctuated Hebrew, the letters ‫ י‬,‫ ו‬,‫ ה‬,‫ א‬which do not contain nikud symbols, are not pronounced as consonants. They are silent.

‫י‬ָ‫י‬  ַ‫שׁ‬

The literal meaning of the word ‫י‬ָ‫ י‬ַ‫שׁ‬ is belongs, connected to something, under the ownership of someone. It’s slang meaning, however, is a bit different. This word is used primarily among Ultra-Orthodox and religious  people. Usually, it expresses words such as correct, suitable, relevant, etc. For example, instead of saying, “Does it bother you that I arrive early in the morning?” One can say, “Is it ‫י‬ָ‫ י‬ַ‫שׁ‬ that I come early in the morning?” Here are some examples of this slang in acti on: * It’s not ‫י‬ָ‫י‬ ַ‫שׁ‬ to come to the party in those clothes. * Do you think it is ‫י‬ָ‫ י‬ַ‫שׁ‬ to set those two people up on a date? * Is it ‫י‬ָ‫י‬ ַ‫שׁ‬ to bring this type of present to a Bar Mitzvah?

We used the Hebrew word ‫ה‬ָ‫נ‬ְ ‫ג‬ָ‫ע‬

.‫ל ם‬ֵָ ‫שׁ‬

which comes from the word ‫ן‬ֶ‫עוֹג‬ (ogen) anchor.

‫בּ ין‬ֵ ‫ידוּת‬ִ‫ד‬ ‫י‬ְ  ‫אוֹת‬ְ‫כּ‬ ‫ַר ד‬ ‫פ‬ָ ְ ‫ס‬

interesting word in the Hebrew language, a word taken from the

.‫ַר ד‬ ‫פ‬ָ ְ ‫וּ ס‬ ‫ֵאל‬‫ָר‬ ‫שׂ‬ְ ‫י‬ִ

Bible. According to Jewish law,

‫רוּ‬ְ ‫יק‬ִ ‫בּ‬ ‫ים‬ִ‫בּ‬ ‫ַר‬  ‫ים‬ִ ‫אל‬ֵ ‫ר‬ְ ‫שׂ‬ְ ‫י‬ִ

.‫יק ה‬ ָ ִ ‫ַעת‬ ‫ָה‬ ‫נָה‬ ‫י‬ִ ‫פ‬ְ ‫ַבּס‬

her husband is alive cannot marry again. This woman is called an ‫ה‬ָ‫גוּנ‬   ֲ‫ע‬ (aguna). It is as though the woman is connected by an anchor  to her husband, even though she doesn’t know where he is or what is happening to him.
