The etymology of the Yiddish word, spelled either bashert or beshert, is something of a mystery.

It is, in essence, fulfilling your personal destiny, thereby playing your part in the destiny of the world. ![]() ![]() But the literal translation from Yiddish is “destiny.” The concept of bashert, for those who believe in it, is much more than finding love by being at the right place at the right time. When you talk about romance, love, marriage and Judaism, one other word inevitably comes up - “bashert.” Translated as “fated,” "inevitable" or "preordained", bashert is often used to mean a predestined soulmate. ![]()
