Matok Hashanah, meaning "the sweet of the year" would be a great name - but it's not the correct word in Hebrew!

Limon לימון

Round 2

Mah Zeh?

Rimon רימון

On Rosh Hashanah, we eat a pomegranate so we can have as many blessings as the seeds of this fruit. Which of these means pomegranate in Hebrew?

Fun fact: Rimon is also the word used for the decorations at the top of a Torah Scroll.

That's a tricky question! Though only one letter seperates them, Limon means lemon. A little sour - and a lot fewer seeds.

On Rosh Hashanah, we eat challah shaped like a circle. What is the Hebrew word for "circle"?

Ribua is Hebrew for "square". Did you notice it sounds like "arba" (four)?

On Yom Kippur, we do T'Shuvah, which means "to go back" or "return". We think of things we should have done diffrently. Sometimes, we say "I'm sorry". How do you say that in Hebrew?

Bevakasha is Hebrew for please AND you're welcome. Such a versitile word!

Re'em ראם

Round 5

Mah Zeh?

Ra'amרעם

Congratulations!

Ram - Re'em. Kind of makes sense, doesn't it?

🎉

Try again!

Ra'am, although spelled very similarly to Re'em, is Hebrew for "thunder".

Thank you for playing!
