How do you write Merry Christmas in Hebrew?
write:
חג מולד שמח
Chag Molad Sameach
Chag basically means holiday or "festival." Moladgenerally means "birth." And Sameach basically means "happy." Thus the literal translation is "happy birth festival" (celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ). But it is not a Jewish holiday so it is likely that if you try to wish someone who primarily speaks Hebrew a Merry Christmas by saying "Chag Molad Sameach" they might not know what you're talking about. It might be better to simply say "Christmas Sameach."
Answer:
Actually...
Hebrew speaking Christians would just say Khag Same'ach (חג שמח) which means "happy holiday". It is not normal to include the name of the holiday in a holiday greeting in Hebrew.
What does shua mean in Hebrew?
Yes. It originated as a Hebrew name, specifically the name of Moses' successor as political
and military leader of Israel.

The original Hebrew pronunciation, and the name given to children in Hebrew today, is "yeh-ho-SHOO-ah".
How does Israel celebrate Christmas in regards to customs traditions and decorations?
Israel is mostly populated with Jews. Jews do not recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God. Since Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, it is not recognized as a holiday by Jews. Christmas is, however, celebrated by the minority of Christian Arabs residing all over the country. Although it is not an official holiday, it is still celebrated even as a tradition. To say that Christmas is not evident in Israel would be too ignorant of a statement. Jews do, however, celebrate Channukah at about the same time that Christians celebrate Christmas.

What does the Hebrew word mitzvot mean?
They are the Torah's laws (singuklar: mitzvah). Religious Jews live by the laws of Moses, by obeying these commands. There are hundreds of examples.
The laws themselves have various reasons. Some (such as the Passover) serve to reenact or remember events of our history.
Some (such as saying the Shema prayer) serve to reiterate our belief in God.
Some of the laws (such as those of ritual purity and kosher food) serve to sanctify us.
Some (such as the laws of torts) serve to maintain an orderly society.
Some (such as the law against breaking a vow) serve to prevent bad character traits.
Some (such as the command to offer help) serve to engender good character traits.
And all of the commands serve to subjugate us to God's will (especially those commands for which no explanation is easily apparent).
A few of the commands are:
Putting on Tefillin (a.k.a. phylacteries) in the morning
The sukkah-booth during Sukkot
Avoiding leavened products in Passover
Not eating on Yom Kippur
Not working on Saturday (Sabbath)
Paying workers on time
Marital rights for one's wife
Counting the days of the Omer
Returning lost objects when feasible
Wearing the tzitzith-garment
Learning Torah
Marrying and having children
Educating one's children in Judaism
Giving tzedakah (charity)
Honoring one's parents
And many more. Note that the Mosaic law "as is" isn't exactly what Judaism observes. Rather, It's the Mosaic law together with the details provided in the Talmud, which is the Oral Law that was handed down together with the laws of Moses (the Torah). Otherwise, the verses of the Torah are often too brief (lacking detail) to be fulfilled as is.
an Eruv is a legal loophole that allows traditional Jews to carry objects outdoors during the Sabbath. It is usually a wire, stretched around a neighborhood, town, or district, creating a "private place".
Jewish law forbids carrying objects from a private place into a public place during the Sabbath.
English translation of haftorah?
The "Haftara" is a chapter from the Prophets. Its public recitation is added to most
services at which the Torah is read publicly, immediately after the Torah reading.
The origin of the Haftara dates from times and places during the Diaspora in which
the public reading of the Torah was outlawed. A chapter from the Prophets was
selected to be read instead, which recalled, referred to, or conveyed a moral lesson
similar to the Torah portion that should have been read on that occasion. The same
set of Prophetic chapters is still associated with the Torah portions.
In secular pop culture, the Haftara is often associated with Bar Mitzvah, because
it has become somewhat standard practice for the celebrant to recite the Haftara
at the service where his becoming a Bar Mitzvah at age 13 is being celebrated.
What does the Hebrew word rinah mean?

rininu (×¨×™× ×™× ×•) = we rejoiced
What does havenu shalom alechem mean?

What does the Hebrew word chatichim mean?
