HBHA - Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy (Hebrew Jewish day school) tzadaka - A word from the root word of righteous but commonly used to mean charity, as charity is a righteous act. It is a tradition that when somebody goes to Israel you give them money to give to somebody or a charity in Israel in order to a) support Israel and b) keep them safe while traveling. If they are traveling on a charitable mission, they can't die b/c they are doing good. Yeshiva - religious Jew school Rebbe - A word for Rabbi in general, but typically used by more orthodox people to refer to their personal community's leader. This one specifically was THE Chabad Rebbe who was greatly beloved by his community and was world renown. Knesset - The Israeli parliament.
