Summary

The Hebrew word ืคื ื™ื means face, and on its face, an ordinary and simple word. But thereโ€™s more to it in spoken Hebrew, including little things about its proper use. On this episode, Guy covers mafia talk, some politically incorrect uses of ืคื ื™ื, and a tourism campaign from the 1950โ€™s.
