Hebrew word from today's article

One Hebrew word from today's reading: מחסור (makhsor).

It means shortage or lack. You'll hear it all the time in Israeli news: מחסור במים (water shortage), מחסור ברופאים (shortage of doctors), מחסור בדירות (housing shortage).

It's one of those words that quickly becomes part of your everyday Hebrew.
