Do you know the Hebrew word for “sure”? בטח

! (That’s the word.)

When we’re sure about something or someone, when we trust that they’ll deliver on our expectations, we have a sense of ביטחון

– security.

While ביטחון

in traditional Jewish spirituality refers to trust in the Almighty, the term used in day-to-day speech today usually refers to ביטחון

from external threats, as in:

התפקיד הראשון של ראש מדינה הוא לדאוג לביטחון אזרחיה.

The first role of a head of state is to ensure the security of its citizens.
