#74 A Trip Down Memory Lane

from Streetwise Hebrew

It is Memorial Day in Israel. So today we discuss the ins and outs of זיכרון, the Hebrew word for memory. What's the difference between לזכור and להיזכר, if both of them mean 'to remember'? And what does a secretary have to do with it? Guy helps jog our memory.
