The root of growth and greatness

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?
