Yeshua (also spelled: Yeshua, Yehoshua, ) = Jesus (Jesus is an English transliteration from the Greek/Latin. Yeshua is from Hebrew and means "Salvation" or "Yah saves" for it is written that he will save his people.)
YHVH/YHWH = The Holy Name of the G'd of Israel. These four letters represent the four Hebrew Characters that spell the very name of G'd. There are may ways that people believe The Name shoud be pronounced...but almost nobody knows with certainty. YHVH/YHWH is first used in the
in Genesis 2:4. It was the Name that He proclaimed to Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3:15 "G'd said further to Moshe, "Say this to the people of Isra'el: "YHVH, the G'd of your fathers, the G'd of Avraham, the G'd of Yitzak, and the G'd of Yakov, has sent me to you.' This is my Name forever, this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation."
In most English translations/transliterations, the Name of the Most High is subsituted with "LORD" in all capital letters. Likewise, many Jews do not even pronounce the Name in fear that they will break the commandment of using His name in vain, and have subsituted it with "Adonai" (The L-rd), "HaShem" (Lit. The Name) and others.
Why do some render the words "G-d", and "L-rd" instead of spelling them out? This out of respect for the Jewish tradition which instructs us to write them this way as a means of demonstrating reverence for the Name of the Creator Of The Universe. They are often rendered "G'd", and "L'rd" also.
Ruach HaKodesh = Spirit of the Holy One (aka Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost). This is the Spirit of YHVH, the Spirit of G'd, the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of Understanding.
Shalom = Peace, also used as a common greeting. Messiah commanded us to say, whenever we enter someone's house to proclaim: "Shalom aleichem!" (peace unto you) [Matthew 10:12]. True Shalom, true peace is not merely a physical peace...it is very deep, the deepest it can be. This is why Messiah said, "I give you my shalom, not as the world gives, but as I give" It incompases everything, emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual...whenever you speak "shalom" to one another, do so with the entire intent of the meaning behind the word. For in Hebrew, each word tells a story.
Talmidim / Talmid (singular) = Students, Disciples. The relationship between our Master and us, as his talmidim can only be understood from a first-century Judaism context. We are called to be true talmidim of the Messiah, and to raise up others for him.
Tzaddik = Righteous (man). We should strive to be tzaddik as Messiah is Tzaddik.
Shabbat = Sabbath. In Israel, Saturday is called "Shabbat" because it is the last day of the week. So you have Sun-Fri, then Shabbat.
Tzion = Zion
Cohen = Priest. In the days of old, the cohen worked with the Levim in the Temple. Now, we are a "nation of cohen" because of Messiah.
Yom Tov = Good Day
Boker Tov = Good Morning
Erev Tov = Good Evening
Layla Tov = Good Night
Mishpochah = Family.
Achi = Brother
Achoit = Sister
Abba = Dearest Daddy (a most intement call of G'd)
= Lit. Teachings, Instructions of G'd. Commonly transliterated as "Law" in English New Covenant writings. This is the first 5 books of our Scriptures, but it is also more. It entails all the teachings and instructions of G'd. We have the writen and the Living (Messiah).
'olam Haba = The world-to-come
'olam hazeh = this world, this age
Pesach = Passover
P'rushim = Pharisees. The P'rushim mainly focussed on the. But, when the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E. they developed traditions for basis of Jewish life, and it evolved into Talmud and Modern Judaism (Orthodox).
Nudnik (Yiddish) = a pest, a bore (Lk 18:5)
Nazir = Nazarite
Seder = meal
Siddur = Prayer book
TaNaKh/Tenach = Acronym for:, Nevi'im, Ketuv'im (Instructions, Prophets, Writings...the Christian OT).
Shema = Daily prayer from Deut. 6:4-5 (commanded to say it when we wake, and when we sleep. This is the first prayer a Jew learns, and the parting words of his dying breath. This is also the Greatest Commandment that Yeshua refered to.)
Sh'khinah = Divine Presence, the manifest Glory of G'd.
Toda = Thank you
Toda Rabbah = Thank you very much
Midrash = interpretation of Scriptural text
Mitzvah / Mitzvot pl. = commandment, general principles for living, good deeds.
Moshiach/Mashiach = Messiah (Greek, Christos into English "Christ)
Haver/Chaver = Friend
Haverim/Chaverim = Friends
Tzitzit (zeet-zeet)
Fringes G-d commanded be attached to the corners of men's garments (Numbers 15:38 and Deuteronomy 22:12) Often worn on a Tallit (prayer shawl).

Note that this term is not used in the way that the expression "good luck" is used in English; that is, it should not be used to wish someone luck in the future. Rather, it is an expression of pleasure at the good luck someone has already had.
