how to say "massacre" in Hebrew


having trouble seeing the print?

טֶבַח



The root is ט.ב.ח (t.b.kh), just like that of the word for kitchen - מִטְבָּח (meet-BAHKH). And it makes sense - a מטבח is historically the place where butchering took place. 


Toulouse. אוֹצָר הַתּוֹרָה (oh-TSAHR hah-toh-RAH) - The Treasure of the Torah. Sweet innocent children and adults (before this week's event as well) טְבוּחִים (teh-voo-KHEEM) - massacred.


May we never hear of such things again. And may justice be served.
