עצלן
My bed has clothes, CDs, envelopes and all kinds of other stuff on it, and I don’t feel like putting it all away so I can go to… bed.
Instead, I’m going to do what I’ve done more than one night over the past couple of weeks. I’m going to sleep on the sofa on my “chill” Jerusalem balcony:
That’s because I’m an עַצְלָן (ahts-LAHN) – I’m lazy. If I were a woman, I’d be an עַצְלַנִית (ahts-lah-NEET). Listen and repeat.
Another reason is that the air is cool and pleasant (קָרִיר וְנָעִים – kah-REER ve-nah-EEM).
The root of the word עצלן shows up in the Bar Mitzvah dance favorite, Yo Ya: (can’t see the video?)
Ulpan La-Inyan announcement
We’re opening up an evening Level 1 class (essential Hebrew conversation) at AACI Tel Aviv, starting June 6.
That makes three classes in Tel Aviv (Levels 2 and 4 in the mornings), and five classes in Jerusalem.
