Twice as Good

Tuesday is a special day. This is when God said "and it was twice as good." God said this about two days in the entire week - Tuesdays and Fridays.

So back in Israel, Tuesday is half a day for the banks and retailers, just like Friday. They work 'til noon, and shut down. This of course is a fun day for those who work in banks or retail, but no fun at all for those who run errands on Tuesdays and basically cannot do anything in the afternoon.

Tuesday is the third day of the week. Or commonly known in Hebrew as "Yom Shlishi."

Now, here's a slight exception to the rule. Sometimes to make the word feminine you'd add "it" at the end of the word. Therefore, the man standing third in line would say "ani shlishi" and the woman standing third in line would say, "ani shlishit."

Pronounciation key:
shliSHI.

Do not mispronounce or recall from memory this word, or you could end up saying "yom shilshool", which is Hebrew for "diarrhea day" - and that's just way too much information.
