Motzi

To teach is to learn. Let's learn Yiddish together.

Motzi pronounced moe- tzee, to rhyme with "goat sea." Hebrew: "provide", "bring forth."

The blessing over bread recited before each meal.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth (hamotzi) bread from the earth.

-Leo Rosten The Joys of Yiddish
