Ahavah - A Hebrew Thought Of Love

Contributed by Alex De Guzman on Feb 14, 2020

Love or “Ahava” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience. It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

Most Hebrew words can be broken down into a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning. The root word of ahava is “ahav.” The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.” True ahava, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving. Being the center of someone’s ...read more

We might think of the guy who cuts us off on the interstate, and he doesn’t even use his blinker when he does it . He ...read more
