Question

Note to players: Original language word required.This is the first word in the title of a zimrah about a girl “so pure and ruddy” with “cheeks of pomegranate;” in that song, this word proceeds “leven dodi.” In an afternoon blessing, this word precedes the opening line “rav al Yisrael amcha.” In Jewish law, this word and the word for “home” denotes a type of marital reconciliation process. Chickpeas and beer are consumed during a gathering named for this word and the word for “male” that is held the Friday after a birth. The nineteenth and final blessing of the weekday Amidah asks to “grant,” or “sim” this word. This word is used twice in the final line of the Kaddish, where it occurs between the words “Oseh” (“AH-say”) and “bi-m’romav” (“BIM-row-mahv”). This is the first word in the title of a song sung on the way home from Shabbat services that welcomes angels; that song is called “[this word] Aleichem” (“ah-LAY-khem”). For 10 points, give this Hebrew word for “peace” (10[1])that is also used as a greeting. ■END■
