Mitzvah
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:43 pm
A seemingly common enough word, but I came across it used by itself recently, without the usual bar or bat before it.
It turns out that a mitzvah is a good deed. Something praiseworthy. I never knew of this usage before two days ago, so I thought I'd share it, in case others thought it was just a part of a religious ceremony.
So, now you can all go out and do your mitzvah for the day. Help the elderly across the street, carry some groceries, help change a flat tire, etc.
