[Avodah] Season's Greetings

[SBA Gmail]

From: Micha Berger <>
As for "Gemar Tov", I think it's just Israeli shorthand, exchanging 3
syllables (which most slur into two by making that first sheva nach)
in place of 7 (or six, as again most do say just "gmar").
>>

I doubt it. As I already posted, the Munkatcher Rav zt'l talks about it -
bayomim haheim - in der heim.
Also, IIANM, it is said so in Lubavitch (and I have heard it from others as
well), nothing to do with israel.

>>It could also be an attempt to translate the Aramaic "pisqa tava".
How???
