Jewish phrase of the day:
A Shabbos goy, Shabbat goy or Shabbes goy… is a non-Jew who performs certain types of work (melakha) which Jewish religious law (halakha) enjoins the Jew from doing on the Sabbath. The phrase is a combination of the word “Shabbos”… meaning the Sabbath, and goy, which literally means “a nation” but colloquially means a “non-Jew” (in Biblical Hebrew “goy” means simply “a nation”, but in Mishnaic Hebrew it is used in the sense of “a non-national”, i.e., “a non-Jew”).
