Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) (Sephardic Hebrew/Israeli Hebrew: shalom; Ashkenazi Hebrew/Yiddish: sholom, sholem, shoilem, shulem) is a Hebrew word meaning peace, completeness, and welfare and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye. As it does in English, it can refer to either peace between two entities (especially between man and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. The word is also found in many other expressions and names. Its equivalent cognate in Arabic is salaam, sliem in Maltese, Shlomo (ܫܠܡܐ) in Syriac-Assyrian and sälam in Ethiopian Semitic languages from the Proto-Semitic root S-L-M.
In Hebrew, the root of the word (usually in a three or occasionally four letter format), and depending on the vowels that are used, has several meanings (that are relevant to the general meaning of the word Shalom); as for example: One meaning is "Whole", another could be the actual verb "Pay" usually in command form. The conjugated verb has other spins that are worth noting, such as: "Hishtalem" meaning "it was worth it" or "Shulam" as "it was paid for" or "Meshulam" as in "paid in advance." Hence one can jokingly say that, "when it's paid-for then there is peace," as in PEACE HAS A PRICE.

Plot
In a small house on the outskirts of a large city, Meiro and Mali Mugrabi live with their three children: Tami, Racheli, and little Shalom, a nine year old autistic boy who can only say the word 'Shalom'. While Mali reconciles with her fate and the mystery of a boy like Shalom, Meiro sees his son as a grave personal failure and knows no solace. The symbiotic relationship between Mali and Shalom draws Meiro away from his wife and makes him feel like a stranger in his own house. Meiro sees a bitter enemy in Shalom - the boy who has stolen his beloved wife from him. The family's fragile balance is upset when Mali takes a night job and Shalom is left alone with his father.
Plot
An Israeli Soldier and a Palestinian activist on a journey through their last two days alive. What they have in common is a fear from the unexpected and the love of chess. What separates them is their cultural background and a border inside one land. What brings them closer is their patriotism and courage. In the great test of the human spirit, they pass, but destiny has a different plan.
Two religions. One land. Two brothers. One destiny. One book.
Plot
The story of a little town, Givat Zurim, and its lowest-ranked soccer team. The lot for the quarterfinal of the national championship set Beitar Givat Zurim to host no less than Maccabi Tel Aviv, one of the best teams around. Those ten days until the game, and the historical arrival of Maccabi's players, will not be easily forgotten.

Plot
Shimi is a tax man, but not your usual reposessor. He's not tough or macho, but a loner. He's also a peeping tom, and that's why he likes his job. But when he finds out his female neighbour is betrayed by her husband, he sets out to intervene for the first time in his life.
Plot
Shalom, a young Israeli at the outset of his life, was born into a bourgeois family in Tel-Aviv. His parents wish he would go to college, but Shalom doesn't feel like studying. His father isn't quite convinced his beloved son is doing the best he can when not doing anything at all. Shalom has a dilapidated station-wagon, two girlfriends to ride and love and "don't think twice, it's all right", as one of them sings to her sweet babbling infant. Shalom goes out on the road looking for his own self - an Israeli easy rider. In his wandering he comes across a group of artists debating over Israel's social-political fate. War and peace, occupied territories and settlements, rich and poor. One thing is not up for discussion, the future doesn't seem bright. Shalom makes up his mind to leave it all and go to America. Makes up his mind, but stays.
Come into my life and make this house your home - Shalom
Breathe my fragrance, drink my wine, O sleep in joy - Shalom
Friend embrace this maiden, feet her brightness like the sun
Come closer, touch her lips and let this sweetness be shalom
By your life, my love, revive me
Kiss my lips, restore, inspire me
O I have no love besides you
Always, only you - Shalom
Far away is my beloved, cling to me - Shalom
She will not be back tomorrow, but rest assured - Shalom
And when I lay my eyes upon you, safe again - Shalom
By your life, my love, revive me
Kiss my lips, restore, inspire me
O I have no love besides you
The cradle of my desire Is at your command What's in a name Shalom? Segue to my street and
In the middle of it say hello In the fragrance of your peace A blossom falls And my memory remembers
An angel call What's in a name Shalom? Segue to my street and In the middle of it say hello
On the trail of where a kiss leads to I breathe a sigh Invisible voices say hello And then goodbye
Maybe she'll come back Maybe she'll come back home What's in a name Shalom? Segue to my street and
In the middle of it say hello And on Dovetail Junction is a caravan Where the cradle of my desire is At your command
Maybe she'll come back Maybe she'll come back home What's in a name Shalom? Segue to my street and
In the middle of it say hello In the fragrance of your peace A blossom falls And my memory remembers
Shalom
Till we meet again
Oh I will tell her to wait for you
The weeping girl at the cliff's edge
Shalom
Till we touch again
Oh I will tell her not to run, no
For you are always there
Yeah, you're always there

Yeah, all she needs
Please come back

Soon and very soon the wind's gonna stop
And soon and very soon my sin's gonna stop
And soon and very soon the ocean's gonna stop
(Come oh Jehovah Come oh Jehovah soon)
Soon and very soon the bleedin's gonna stop
And soon and very soon the clock's gonna stop
And soon and very soon Shalom's gonna drop
Soon and very soon Jehovah drop
Pumpin' the blood through my veins
Day to day as long as I get
As long as He wants as long as I have
I'll say it 'til the end (I'll proclaim 'til the end)
I'm not done yet
Takin' callin' breathin' the body
Straight to eternity

And even when you say goodbye,
If your voice has
"I don't want to go" in it,
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,
And say goodbye with shalom.
It's the most amazing thing
That I think I've ever heard
Shalom, Shalom,

And even when you say goodbye...

Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,
