Hebrew Word of the Month
Dave Plich
Here is your Hebrew Word of the Month!
Our next word is א ל ה י ם (Elohim) which is another word for God or Lord. As we have seen, there are several words for God or Lord. Each refers to different aspects of God; we will review them at some later time. It is interesting to note that Elohim has a plural ending (like putting an ‘s’ at the end of an English word), another indication of the many aspects of God. Finally, we are all familiar with the word א ל ה י נ ו (Eloheinu), meaning Our God, which we find near the beginning of the various blessings that we recite.
