"Shalom Shalom ( ""shalom""; also spelled as ""sholom"", ""sholem"", ""sholoim"", ""shulem"") is a Hebrew word meaning ""peace"", ""harmony"", ""wholeness"", ""completeness"", ""prosperity"", ""welfare"" and ""tranquility"" and can be used idiomatically to mean both ""hello"" and ""goodbye"". As it does in English, it can refer to either peace between two entities (especially between man and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. The word shalom is also found in many other expressions and names. Its equivalent cognate in Arabic is ""salaam"", ""sliem"" in Maltese, Shlama in Syriac-Assyrian and ""sälam"""
"(Hebrew: בברכה, lit: with blessing). The informal ones may use ""kol toov"" (Hebrew: כל טוב, lit: all the best). For an intimate, you might end a letter or email with ""mitga'ageah"" (m) or ""mitga'aga'at"" (f) -- missing you. Jews in the United States often use ""B'shalom"" or ""shalom"" (Hebrew: בשלום, lit: in peace) within Jewish circles, for example, from a Rabbi to his congregation. This is an American Jewish usage, rarely heard from native speakers of Hebrew. ""B'shalom"" is incorrect, as it is religiously tantamount to wishing death on someone. Indeed, the Talmud says: ""In bidding farewell to the living"
"Jewish greetings There are several Jewish and Hebrew greetings, farewells, and phrases that are used in Judaism, and in Jewish and Hebrew-speaking communities around the world.
