Anash/our fellow people.

אנ"ש/אנשח שלומנו

The phrase אנ"ש (pronounced anash) is an acronym for אנשי שלומנו, which literally means "the people of our peace" or "our fellow people." In context, it refers to members of a particular community, especially in Chabad and other Chassidic groups.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • אנשי (anshei) means "people of."
  • שלומנו (shlomeinu) means "our peace," but in this context, it refers more broadly to those who share the same values, beliefs, or spiritual path.

In Chabad circles, אנ"ש is commonly used to refer to the members of the Chabad community, or more specifically, those who follow the teachings of the Rebbe and the Chassidic way of life. It implies a close-knit group of individuals who are connected by their shared spiritual goals and camaraderie.

In a broader sense, the term highlights a sense of unity and brotherhood among the members of the community.
