Tenzer


Explanation:
It's a family name - look it up in Hebrew and you'll see it was the name of a guy in a sitcom (called Shemesh) some years back.

Asker: Thanks, this is helpful. I knew it was a name but from the Hebrew you can't really tell if he's going to a person or a place. In the context, I think the place makes more sense.

neutral  Lingopro: You may be onto something... Tenzer ;-) - but the way it's written in Hebrew it seems to refer to a person. BTW - I wasn't suggesting she needed טנצר המניאק, and mentioned him only to show the validity of the name...
