In a recent interview with presenter Lital Shemesh, Dr. Avshalom Kor, a Hebrew language expert, was asked about his favorite Hebrew word. Kor surprised Shemesh by choosing the word "מולדת" (homeland) as his favorite. Shemesh shared a video where she explained that the question was originally posed to Kor by a soldier attending a ceremony. Kor later added another word he likes, "בית"ר" (Beitar), explaining that his parents met at Beitar. Shemesh responded enthusiastically, noting the significance of both words. After the video was published, Shemesh revealed an additional personal detail: Dr. Kor has a daughter named "מולדת" (Homeland), which adds a deeper personal meaning to his choice of favorite word.
