how to say "to internalize" in Hebrew...

להפנים

With some basic Hebrew you'd know how to say inside, as in I'd rather sit inside - בִּפְנִים (beef-NEEM).

Here's how to say to internalize: לְהַפְנִים (le-hahf-NEEM). For example, הִפְנַמְנוּ אֶת הַמֶּסֶר (heef-NAHM-noo et hah-MEH-sehr) - we've internalized the message.


Today's "three-weeks" call to action

This Shabbat, I'm going to work on להפנים the idea that although I am an individual, I am identical to other human beings in anatomy and in Godly attributes. Through this awareness of the glorious sameness among myself and all humanity, I hope to come to a deeper love for, appreciate of and peace with others around me.


If you're up for it, join me.
