a lesson about love from the Hebrew language

{ Credit for the below information goes to Chabad. I thought this article did a beautiful job of summing up what Ahava, the Hebrew word for love means. You can see the full article here. }

In Hebrew the word for love is “Ahava.” Because Hebrew is a holy language, the structure of the word, down to each letter serves to define its essence. The root of Ahava is Hava, which literally means to offer or to give. It also shares a root with the word, Ahav, which means to nurture, or to devote completely to another.

So the essence of the Hebrew word Ahava (love) is not an emotion, it’s an action. Love in its purest form is not something that happens to us, it is a condition that we create when we give of ourselves.

If we look at the Hebrew word for “giving,” it is “Natan.” Which is spelled, nun, tuf, nun. Whether you read it backwards or forwards, it reads the same. Implicit in the Hebrew word for giving, is the essence of what giving is all about. When we give away, we always get back. It is a beautiful circle, and a secret to creating love in any relationship.

Isn't that beautiful? So no matter what day you want to express your love (why not every day!?) this word can point to how you can best love the important people in your life.

Thank you so much for being here during this season of love and giving!

Thank you,

Ruthie
