Today, as we celebrate Father's Day, I want to share a beautiful aspect of the Hebrew language that millions of kids experience when they say one of their first words: /'a-ba/ אַבָּא.
In Hebrew, 'a-ba אַבָּא is the word for both father and dad or daddy. It's a term filled with warmth, love, and everyday connection. Hearing a child say /'a-ba/ אַבָּא for the first time is a moment of joy shared by millions of families.
But you might wonder, why do we also use the word /av/ אָב for father? /av/ אָב is the more formal and/or biblical form of the word father. It's a term that you will often find in religious texts, formal writings, and special occasions like wishing "Happy Father's Day".
So, while /av/ אָב carries a sense of formality and tradition, /'a-ba/ אַבָּא is the everyday term that children call out to their fathers with joy and affection.
As we honor fathers today, let's celebrate both the traditional /av/ אָב and the loving, everyday /'a-ba/ אַבָּא that brings smiles to countless faces.
Wishing all the wonderful fathers out there a very Happy Father's Day!
