The root of growth and greatness

Writer's picture: RutRut

הַתְחָלָה חֲדָשָׁה הִיא הִזְדַּמְּנוּת לִצְמִיחָה

"A new beginning is an opportunity for growth"


This phrase encapsulates the spirit of renewal and hope that comes with each new year. It's a reminder that every day, and especially a new year, offers us a chance to learn, improve, and grow.


Speaking of learning, let's delve into a quick Hebrew grammar lesson to end the year on an educational note: Hebrew Verb Focus: The root ג-ד-ל 


This root is associated with growth and becoming great. Here are some words derived from this root:


1. לִגְדּוֹל - to grow

2. גָּדוֹל - big, great

3. גִּידּוּל - growth, crop

4. מִגְדָּל - tower

5. לְהַגְדִּיל - to enlarge, magnify


Can you see how all these words relate to the concept of growth or greatness?
