peer agreement (net): +1| mind, heart, spirit lev Explanation: Lev is the heart in modern Hebrew, levav is tanah'ic Hebrew. Mind and spirit are trickier, it depends what you want to say. Ruah' can be OK for spirit, but mind can be seh'el if you mean in right mind, logic (seh'el yashar), or deah (a "piece of mind", an opinion), or even rosh (it's all in your mind = ze barosh shelh'a), etc... So define what you mean. Shalom from Jerusalem, Rosebud |

peer agreement (net): +1| mind, heart, spirit sekhel, lev, neshama Explanation: mind = sekhel שכל heart = lev לב (levav is poetic) spirit = neshama נשמה (but can also be ru'akh) soul = nefesh, but also neshama Mind can also be ru'akh. These terms tend to overlap, and usage depends on context. |
