zufriedenkait
Religious / SynagogueMeaningThe feeling of being happy with what you have. It means you are not worried and you do not want more than what is already there.
HistoryThis word comes from the Yiddish language. Yiddish speakers in Europe took the German word "Zufriedenheit", which means the feeling of being happy and pleased with your life. They changed the sound a little bit to make it a Yiddish word.
My grandmother always said that the most important thing in life is to be happy with what you have.
