    You can simply say it back! Shalom is a simple, straightforward greeting, much like ahlan (but slightly more formal).

    Shana tova literally means “good year,” with “shana” meaning year and “tova” meaning good. It’s a traditional Rosh Hoshana/Jewish New Year’s greeting.

    There are several greetings you can use, but “chag Pesach sameach” is a good option. It simply means “Happy Passover festival!”

  • Question
    Do the days of the week start at sunset? For example, would the English Tuesday be the Hebrew Wednesday night?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No. Night is not morning or vice versa. Jewish holidays begin at sundown, the evening before they might be listed on an English calendar.

    How do I say "good luck"?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    "B'chatz'lacha" (literally, "successfully", used as "good luck"). "Mazel tov" literally means good luck, but is almost always meant in a congratulatory way.

    Is Hebrew an international Jewish language or is it only spoken in Israel?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It’s the official language of Israel, but it is spoken by many Jews in the diaspora, though most non-religious Jews in America, for example, only speak a little or none.
