Bnai

B'nai is a Hebrew term that translates to "sons of" or "children of" in English. The term is often used in Jewish contexts to denote lineage, membership, or affiliation. For example, B'nai Mitzvah (בני מצווה) refers to the coming-of-age ceremony for Jewish boys and girls, translating to "sons/daughters of the commandment." In Yiddish, a language closely related to Hebrew and historically spoken by many Jewish communities, the term is written as Bney (בני). The term is also used in various Jewish organizational names, such as B'nai Brith (בני ברית), an international Jewish service organization whose name translates to "Sons of the Covenant." The usage of B'nai underscores the importance of lineage and communal identity within Jewish tradition and culture.
