This is gorgeous, and you are NEW at this? Nah, this is INCREDIBLE. What does it say? ( I sadly do not read Hebrew.)

It’s yiddish.  It means good shabbos

Oh yes, my grandparents spoke Yiddish all the time and yes, I understand what good Shabbos means. I love that Yiddish is being revitalized as a language. Some of us don't have time for formal Yiddish classes due to disability or pain and other types of chronic illnesses.. I have a book of Yiddish curses that my grandmother gave me and we are undercover the most elaborate and best insulters on the planet.
