how to say "spark" in Hebrew


having trouble seeing the print?

נִיצוֹץ






נִיצוֹץ (nee-TSOHTS) means spark in the physical sense, but the word is used far more often to refer to that spark of life, what some might call a divine spark, within us all - without exception. 


The word is an onomatopoeia, just like the English word crackle


The plural is נִיצוֹצוֹת (nee-tsoh-TSOHT).


And a divine spark is a נִיצוֹץ אֱ-לֹהִי (nee-TSOTS eh-loh-HEE, sometime pronounced for religious reasons nee-TSOTS eh-loh-KEE).
