TACHLIT

[Moshe Hochenberg <gcz23...>]

Actually,  rather  than  "task",

in  Hebrew,  TAKHLIT   means  Aim,  Purpose,  End,  and

in  Yiddish,  TAKHLES  means  Result,  Practical  purpose,  Serious
business.

To  all,  Shana  tova  om'tukaa  (a  Goott'n  un  zeess'n  yohr)

"Tachlis" means "task," with the overtone of obligation or
responsibility. So Tashlich is actually a tachlis . . .
Someone fluent in Hebrew could best define <takhlis> for us.
