How do you welcome someone in Hebrew?
Welcome in hebrew is baruch aba or beruchim abaim in plural.
In hebrew, we write it like this : ברוך הבא in singular or ברוכים הבאים in plural.
We use the letters: Beth, Resh, Vav, Ch’et Sofit, He, Beth and Aleph, the first letter of Hebrew alphabet.
We literally bless the person who comes.
Baruch means “blessed“.
So in Hebrew we literally say : “blessed is the comer “.
How do you say welcome in Israel?
In Israel, Hebrew is the most spoken language, followed by Arabic, Russian and English.
Therefore, in Israel we mostly say Baruch Aba (ברוך הבא).
If you want to learn hebrew, Oulpan Integraliah can teach you hebrew, in Tel Aviv or online wherever you are.
