For Tenxin Choden

And here's the promised Hebrew lesson.

Today is Sunday. Sunday comes after Saturday which is God's resting day. Therefore Sunday is the FIRST day of the week. (TC, are you paying attention?)

Sunday in Hebrew is - Yom Rishon. [Yom = Day ; Rishon = First] יום ראשון

Because Day is considered to belong to the masculine words in Hebrew, the word that describes it has to be in the masculine form - Rishon.

If you're describing a word that is of the feminine words in Hebrew, you'd say "Rishona." [Adding an "a" to many words in Hebrew makes it take the feminine form. Also many female names in Israel end with A.]

If you're standing in line, and you're a male, you'd say "Ani Rishon" (I'm first). ראשון
If you're standing in line, and you're a female, you'd say "Ani Rishona" (I'm first). ראשונה

You could just shorten it to say, "Rishon" or "Rishona" - it'd have the same effect.

Your first quiz of the day will be graded when you comment.

Good luck!
