To the forest! L'chaim!

lol. You never saw Fiddler on the Roof?

Chai means life. To life!

Hey Dave,

I don't think Zero was in Fiddler, the main role was played by Topol.

Good Shabbos (Gut Shabbes, Yiddish) or, on a festival, Good Yom Tov ("Yom Tov" means festival, lit. "good day", so Gut Yom Tov is a silly saying, "Good Good Day") or Chag Sameach (Happy Festival)?

When someone performs an honour during the service such as opening the ark for the Sefer Torah to be taken out, or when someone has done something praiseworthy, the form of congratulations is "Yasher Koach", (or grammatically strictly "Yasher Kochacha" which is rare), "moral strength", which contracts to "Sh'koach". It is very affected by dialectical pronunciation and might sound like "Sh'koiach".

When someone has good news the congratulatory form is "Mazal Tov", "Good Fortune".

You have probably heard the phrase "l'chaim" at "kiddush", "sanctification", which is a blessing typically made over wine but at a luchtime kiddush it could be any food and drink (the main kiddush is on a Friday or festival evening, always over wine if possible).

There are obviously many other phrases - maybe "kol hakavod", "total respect" - but I guess the one you're after is Sh'koach.

Kol hakavod!

I think going off topic is a big problem on this forum and 100man and augustus are the main offenders x

your ruining threads x

i didnt see any jewish articles in the revival magazine, what has anything you said in the last 6 posts got anything to do with the thread x
go open your own thread if you must but dont spoil other threads espeically the sticky ones

admins and secret mods do your job-i reccomend you move the last 6 posts to the no-topic section or delete them twisted

raf786,

Grow up and be polite. I was answering questions that I was asked, in the threads where I was asked them, and you might notice on the ONLY other thread where Jewish stuff came up I made exactly the same suggestion that we keep those questions to another thread. As for Dave, he has only goodwill and is blatantly an extremely decent guy, so if not for his sake, for yours, please watch your tone.

You don't warrant having suggestions taken seriously IMO if you will flood your posts with :x and :twisted: like an arrogant child.

No harm has been done, although your particular point was well taken. On this thread it relates to maybe two posts, so I doubt you are being honest with your intent.

Even for an arrogant child that is an exceptionally ineffective way to communicate.
