What does SHALOM mean in SYNAGOGUES

Shalom literally translates to "peace" in English. It is commonly used as a greeting or farewell in Hebrew culture and can also be interpreted as a blessing for good health and well-being.

Shalom is pronounced "shah-lohm" with the accent on the first syllable.

The term Shalom originated in ancient Middle Eastern cultures and has been incorporated into modern day Judaism. As such, it has deep religious resonance among followers of Judaism and is used both inside and outside of religious contexts among all audiences.

Shalom can be used to greet someone when entering their home or business, or when leaving them either out loud or via written text message. It can also be used to say goodbye to someone before parting ways or ending an online conversation. Additionally, it can be used as an offering of good wishes for someone's physical health and emotional well-being regardless of whether you will see them again soon or not at all.

You can use the phrase Shalom whenever your intent is to extend peace and goodwill toward someone else. It could indicate that you are wishing them safety during travel or general protection due to the presence of divine forces within its meaning; it could also simply show kindness toward another human being by extending an expression of peaceful goodwill rather than hostility.
