'''''Shalom''''' ({{lang-he|שָׁלוֹם}} ''šālōm''; also spelled as ''sholom'', ''sholem'', ''sholoim'', ''shulem'') is a [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] word meaning ''peace'', ''harmony'', ''wholeness'', ''completeness'', ''prosperity'', ''welfare'' and ''tranquility'' and can be used idiomatically to mean both ''hello'' and ''
As it does in [[English language|English]], it can refer to either [[peace]] between two entities (especially between a person and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. The word shalom is also found in many other expressions and names. Its equivalent [[cognate]] in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] is ''[[S-L-M|salaam]]'', ''[[sliem]]'' in [[Maltese language|Maltese]], [[Shlama]] in [[Syriac language|Syriac-Assyrian]] and ''sälam'' in [[Ethiopian Semitic languages]] from the Proto-Semitic [[Root (linguistics)|root]] [[Š-L-M]].
