Peasach how to say Happy Passover in Hebrew

Post Reply New Topic

Say "Sameach" for "happy." In Hebrew, the idea of happiness is expressed with the word "Simcha." To say "happy" as an adjective, we use "sameach," which is derived from the noun.
This word is pronounced "sah-MEY-akh." Use a hard "k" sound with a raspy quality from the back of the throat. Don't use an English "ch" sound.[2]

Use "Pesach" for "Passover." This is the traditional Hebrew name for the holiday.
"Pesach" is pronounced "PAY-sock." It's pronounced almost exactly like these two English words. Again, end the word with a hard, raspy "kh" sound, not a "ch" sound.

Some people also say "Chag Sameach" and amongst the Yiddish-speaking Orthodox Community "A Zissen Pesach" is frequently heard as well.

Not sure I'd try that one. Knowing me on that first word I'd probably get back in English "And a tent-peg Passover to you too!"

I like the tag I am my target audience.

Over the years I have kept jokes way too long, because I liked them -even when there time was past.

In synagogues I would even use the Kaddish after them.
