Consider yourself lucky, as a non German in Germany it was more like "uh... Menu? English spice... Karte?" "um... Nein..." "okay, danke, I guess I'll Google Lens the whole thing then." I guess the larger the country and the language base the less need for people to learn English, especially in rural areas. I got through with Duolingo and hand gestures with some. Those who spoke English thought that everybody else there did. It was a fun trip there though, don't get me wrong. The nerd in me enjoyed the challenge, when there was one.

This is just what I needed this morning. He is so funny because it's true. I should be way better with my Hebrew then I am. I took it in college as part of my Judaism minor. I still can't speak it with the exception of few words. My professor was Israeli and I felt so ashamed at my laziness. I came from a small town in the Midwest of the United States so I didn't have a lot of exposure with the exception of going to temple. I feel more committed to learning it now that I'm in my late fifties because we want to live in Israel. Thank you for the laughs.

What a Canadian Psychologist Knows about Israel that Israelis Do Not Jordan Peterson, a Canadian media personality, clinical psychologist, author, and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, describes himself as a “classic British liberal.” The media often describes him as conservative. Be that as it may, his words to a 3,000 strong audience at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem should not fall on deaf Israeli ears because when he says emphatically, “You have a tremendous moral responsibility,” and “Show the world what the holy city could look like - because we need it,” we should understand that he speaks for billions and the onus really is on us. A couple of weeks ago, at an event hosted by The Daily Wire in Jerusalem, Peterson said, “Everyone looks here to see how you are doing under this tremendous assault of adversarial criticism - as this little tiny people in the middle of no-man’s land - as a cardinal model of the nation state and the city on the hill. You have a tremendous moral responsibility like you have perhaps had for your entire history for reasons that are very difficult to understand.” The problem is that what non-Jews feel about Israel and Israelis, we refuse to admit because while they can simply express how they feel, we have to respond to those emotions. It is a heavy burden to be responsible for the world’s problems. It is perfectly understandable that we refuse to admit it and strive to either deny it or assimilate among the nations. But the nations will clearly not allow us to do either. We have been decrying our fate for centuries; we have written books about it, and we even titled one of them Israel, the Ever-dying People. However, when it comes to doing what we must, to making ourselves “a shining light on a hill,” as Peterson put it, we turn our backs on our mission and blame each other for the hatred turned against us. The obligation we avoid is our obligation to each other, to unite “as one man with one heart” and become the “cardinal model” that Peterson and the rest of the world want to see. They do not need our high-tech industry or our sophisticated weapons. They need our unique, authentic moral system, the one that was established on the basis of love of others. Only if we establish our society in Israel based on this value, we will win the world’s approval. The world is aching for it. Some of the people will ask this from us nicely, the way Peterson articulated it. Others will demand it through violence. Either way, we will know no peace or peace of mind until we provide the world the example of unity and solidarity that we must.

And to do that you need the Life that is the light of man. Only with this can you for God’s sake face death all day long like sheep to the slaughter but still overcome the world. We the watching world don’t need morality. We need the very Life of God making us partakers of the Divine Nature. Like the comedian said - we don’t need laws and rules we need to communicate. We need goodness beating in hearts of flesh by the spirit of God and no longer just carved on tablets of stone. There is no getting around Jesus and how He has made it possible for us to be partakers of the Divine Nature. But it means nothing if we just leave that deposit of His Spirit in the bank and don’t take up our cross and also be the suffering servant. The law is the shadow of these things. He is the reality. And so we fill up what is remaining in the sufferings of Christ. He showed us how like a city on a hill lit up for the world to see. He showed us how to be the ever dying people, ever dying but ever resurrecting into newness of life. Fruitful in suffering like Joseph. This is what we the world are begging for - ever suffering and dying men and women falling like seeds but rising and bearing the fruit of the Spirit of God.

Not chosen to watch the other half suffer not knowing God. Morality is not knowing God. The light of morality is too dim to help anyone.

You're referring to American Jews... then again ignorance with languages is more a problem with that Americans part more than the Jewish part. ;)

Rabbis don't demand Jews speak Hebrew, unless they are called up to the bimah; but they do demand potential Jews-by-Choice learn to read and speak Hebrew before they can become a Jew!

Part of the problem is that the average level of English in Israel is pretty high, especially in the main cities; they watch lots of American and British programming. I found that even at a time when my Hebrew was functional as soon as they'd hear my (not even so strong) American accent they'd go right to English. The people in my ulpan who came from, let's say, Romania, learned much more quickly because Israelis were forced to stay in Hebrew.

These are not at all words of a higher register or anything like that.

In the context of kashrut, for non observers, not necessarily. I mean, personally I know the words, but since I never cared much for kosher or fish it'd take me a while to recall the translation. Coming up in conversation in either language, yeah, sure. Translating, since it's not a common phrase... Takes a different part of the brain.

@@ailaG I see what you mean. Naturally, on a personal level, everyone has their own personal vocabulary and some jargon words that they know and don't use, or use more or less and also the degree of social exposure to religious people or Jewish tradition etc. Apart from that, there are still many secular people like me, who also don't keep kosher, who were exposed to some concepts of kosher since childhood because it is all around, because in Israel there is a significant mass of the population that keeps kosher "lightly", at the level of מסורתיים, that is; They will enter a non-kosher restaurant and not order anything 'Tareff' like shrimps or meat mixed with milk - and we get in touch with them, they may be family or friends. So I think that in general; At least the basic concepts of Kashrut are more known than unknown.

No.

Ummm, because they aren't Israelis/Hebrews? Same reason most Christians don't

The actual truth is a bit more disturbing, well maybe a lot more disturbing. There are very few Israelis around, definitely less than a few tens of thousands. How and why? Well, an Israeli is a person whose paternal lineage reaches Jacob (Israel) and a Jew is an Israeli whose both parents are Israelis. With Jewish lineage following mothers since at least 1000 years, it would be impossible to prove someone Israeli or Jewish beyond extreme doubt.

Jewish people came from all over Europe, and more. Those Jewish people usually speak their native tongue, rather than Hebrew.

Most of the Israeli Jews today were born in Israel. Therefore in most cases you have only 2 options - Hebrew or bad Emglish.

There was great pressure on the olim (immigrants) to speak Hebrew, especially speakers of Yiddish and Arabic.

modern hebrew is just a different style of the same words... and a bit more simple... but if you can speak biblical hebrew very well it would be intresting to see if anyone actually notice...

​@@TamirElias so thats the point... its not like that, englesh evolved and changed over time (which means there are actual words that changed meaning), hebrew never "changed" as we always read the same tora, all jews (i should say most) jews knew hebrew becouse they learnt tora in hebrew, but for everyday things they would speak other languages. for example the gemara is a perfect example, its writtin in aramaic, but when they bring examples from the tora its in hebrew, (btw now the tables turned and everyone understands the hebrew very well and its the aramaic that is the language we use "only for gemara" what modern hebrew really is was a way to get everyone to speak "hebrew" for everyday things. becouse like i said up till then everyone just spoke the language of wherever he was, and so when everyone came to israel it was a bit problamatic, so guy called eliezer ben yehuda just "added" words like car and train etc, then there was a huge war between yiddish (a jewish europian dialect,) and hebrew with hebrew eventually wining.

@@thehevytrooper Yes true, words didnt loose meaning, we just added new ones to replace some word's. My kid had hard time understanding old bible words, but after the first chumash he started reading by himself without much help, becouse its the same language.

​@@thehevytrooper That's not true at all. Words did evolve and change meaning. Some only slightly, some significantly. Example, when Jacob herds Laban's sheep, the bible says: וְהָיָה הָעֲטֻפִים לְלָבָן וְהַקְּשֻׁרִים לְיַעֲקֹב In the eyes of a modern Hebrew speaker, the sheep are wrapped and bound, which makes no sense...
