LONGEST WORD

by Rabbi Ozer Alport

The word in the Torah containing the most letters is in this week's parsha. What is it?

G-d told Moshe (Ex. 7:28) to warn Pharaoh that the frogs would strike in his palace, bedroom, and bed, and in the houses of his servants, as well as in their ovens, "uvmash'arotecha" - and in your kneading bowls. With ten letters, this word is the longest in the Torah.
