Shalom might be called the peace of the Lord. It wasn’t just meant to wish a person a lack of war or struggle rather, shalom goes deeper. “Shalom” was used as both a greeting and farewell.
#Hebrew peace be with you full
They are actually saying something more along the lines of, “may you be filled with a complete and perfect peace and be full of well-being” or, “may health, prosperity, and peace of mind and spirit be upon you.” Beyond being just a simple wish for peace and happiness, the word suggests a state of fullness and perfection overflowing inner and outer joy and peaceful serenity. In saying this they are actually saying more than just hello or goodbye, and more than just a simple ‘peace be with you’. In modern Israel, when someone greets you or says goodbye, they will typically say, Shalom. We experienced many beautiful things, but perhaps the most beautiful thing we encountered was being greeted by the word ‘shalom.' In a simple way, the Hebrew word shalom means ‘peace.' But in a deeper way, shalom is a beautiful word with powerful, complex, and ancient meanings, and it can be heard throughout the land of Israel. Yet more than that, it is a place where timeless faith fills the air, and the Bible seems to come alive. It is truly a land unlike any other, where ancient and modern mesh seamlessly together in a unique tapestry of color and culture, sights and sounds. One of the most moving travel experiences I have ever had was when my wife and I were able to spend time in Israel. But what is it about the word shalom that can evoke such a unique response? My experience in understanding the meaning of Shalom begins in Israel. There is something special and moving about being greeted by the word Shalom! It can warm the heart and comfort the spirit.
