Torah tidbits
Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading

Two unrelated points...
VA'YITMAHUMA: Well-known word from Vayeira with a Shalshelet. The first HEI with a SH'VA NACH and the second HEI with the MAPIK are BOTH sounded (the same). HEI without a vowel or MAPIK is silent. But with a vowel or MAPIK is sounded.

U'L'NINI: NIN in the Torah means son. In modern Hebrew it means great-grandson.

...LI U'L'NINI U'L'NECHDI: means, to me, and my children and my grandchildren.
