Word of the day: menuchah (meh-noo-KHAH)

Hebrew – מְנוּחָה.

Rest: the calm we are allowed to enter. Not only the absence of work – a settled quiet.

When the Psalms say “still waters,” the Hebrew is mei menuchot, waters of rest.

Example: “After the longest week, Friday night dinner felt like menuchah.”

Read the source: Psalms 23:2 on Sefaria.
