ועד

This is the 133rd most frequent Hebrew word.


ועד

Committee or council.


Here, 'ועד' means 'committee', referring to a group of individuals organized for a specific purpose.

החבר החדש נבחר לוועד הקהילה.

The new member was elected to the community's committee.


In this usage, 'ועד' serves as a conjunction meaning 'until', indicating a point in time.

הייתי ממתין ועד שלא תגיע לפני שאני מתחיל.

I would wait until you arrive before starting.


'ועד' is employed here again as a conjunction meaning 'until', marking the end moment of an action.

ישבתי פה ועד שסיימת את השיחה.

I sat here until you finished the call.
