מְסִירוּת
The Hebrew word for dedication is מְסִירוּת (meh-see-ROOT). Its root is מ.ס.ר (m.s.r) meaning to give over, since someone who is dedicated gives him/herself over to a cause.
Likewise, a dedicated person is an אָדָם מָסוּר (ah-DAHM mah-SOOR). Since אדם means person, the expression אדם מסור applies to males and females alike. To refer to a female specifically as dedicated, you might say something like הִיא עוֹבֶדֶת מְסוּרָה - she is a dedicated employee (hee oh-VEH-det meh-soo-RAH).
Earlier this week, my executive assistant Lauren Gordon married David Port. At this juncture I'd like to publicly acknowledge Lauren's מסירות to Ulpan La-Inyan.
Lauren, it's such a pleasure working with you, and I owe much of this program's success to your מסירות and הִתְלַהֲבוּת - enthusiasm (heet-lah-hah-VOOT). I wish you and David lots of שִׂמְחָה - joy (seem-KHAH).
