אִלֵּם
The Torah portion to be read this Shabbat by Jews around the world depicts the great leader Moses… who was also hard of speaking.

The Hebrew word for a mute is אִלֵּם
listen and repeat when referring to a male, and אִלֶּמֶת
listen and repeat when referring to a female.


For example:
אָמְנָם הָיָה קָשֶׁה לוֹ לְדַבֵּר, אָבָל מֹשֶׁה לֹא הָיָה אִלֵּם.
Although it was difficult for him to speak, Moses was not mute.
