Hebrew word for Love .The root of Ahava is Hava, which literally means “to offer” or “to give”. It also shares a root with the word, Ahav, which means “to nurture”, or “to devote completely to another”…Ahava (love) is not an emotion, it’s an action. Love in its purest form is not something that happens to us, it is a condition that is created when we give of ourselves..
