Start of some temple names
Answer:
B’NAI
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
The clue refers to the Hebrew prefix "B’nai," meaning "sons of," which appears at the start of many Jewish temple names like B’nai Israel or B’nai Jeshurun. It’s a common term in synagogue titles, so solvers familiar with Jewish culture or temple names would recognize it. The apostrophe in "B’nai" signals the shortened form of the Hebrew word banim (sons), making it a concise but meaningful answer.
