The Top 10 List of 2025

Wow! This year just flew by! We learned a bunch of new Hebrew words, but the favourites of 2025 are mostly classics from years past. However, we have one new additions that has made the list for the first time.

Along with the Top Ten Words, I’ve attached some pictures from our summer trip, tracing the footsteps of Paul in the Mediterranean. It was a once in a lifetime trip and if you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend the adventure!

And now onto the countdown…

That’s it! That’s the top most viewed postings in 2025. But there are a lot more words to explore. To see what other words are available, please check out the three alphabetised word lists (A-H, I-Q, R-Z). Feel free to spend hours getting lost in the alphabet! 

Finally, a sincere thank you for supporting this blog by your readership, your prayers, and your encouraging words. I leave you with the same year-end prayer as last year…

Thank you, YHWH, for giving us another year to bear Your Image to this world. Please help us as we do our best to represent You in 2026! Amen!
