About “Brother” in Hebrew

The sibling bond is a recurring theme throughout the Torah, from Cain and Abel to Moses and Aaron. In modern Israel, the word ach is also used colloquially as 'bro' among friends. The concept of Jewish brotherhood—achvah—extends to the communal responsibility Jews feel for one another worldwide.

Example

הָאָח שֶׁלִּי גָּדוֹל מִמֶּנִּי.
