The alphabets of Hebrew and Yiddish are the same, but they just are different words. Yiddish was spoken by European Jews after they were exiled from Israel, and some ultra orthodox Jews only speak Yiddish because they believe hebrew to be so holy of a language, it can only be spoken when discussing religion.

Yiddish is basically a completley different language, using Hebrew letters. I personally do not know Yiddish.

Yiddish is not spoken that much by even Jews of European origin. It is very useful to know Yiddish since many books, and symbols of European Jewish culture will be lost in time because the number of speakers of Yiddish decrease every year.

I do not know Yiddish, nor do I have any European ties since my family has lived in Israel basically forever. My family goes back a long time here.

Mizrahi Jews are Jews who have always lived in the Middle East. A Jew who lived in Iraq, and moved to Israel in 1948 is a Mizrahi Jew. I am a Mizrahi Jew whose family has remained in Israel for a long time (as long time as we can trace my family back to)...

Sephardic Jews are those who after they were expelled from Israel went to Turkey, Spain, or Portugal. Many from Spain moved to South America later.

Ashkenazi Jews went to European countries after they were expelled, and these are the people who spoke Yiddish. They lived in Germany, Poland, Russia and a few other places.

Well I have lived in Israel all my life, and probably many people on this forum may not like me for this but I served as all Israeli citizens must in the Israeli Defense Force. I am kind of religious, but not to an extreme point. I also own a Cafe' in Haifa, and my sons help me run it. My oldest son will have to join the IDF soon and I am sort of worried but it is the law and the sacrifice all Israeli's must make. I pray for peace every day in hope that the children of both sides will not have to die, and instead can live in harmony.

As Arabic is technically my first language, I assume that I have an advantage as both languages are related.

Although I am more comfortable using English, it would be more interesting if I could find resources that are meant to teach the language to Arabic speakers. I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.

Is it possible to learn the language without a tutor?

It is nice of you to start this thread to teach your language, and I have found it to be very interesting indeed! I noticed how similar the Hebrew alphabet is to the Arabic one, in terms of the names that some letters have. There are also similarities in some of the actual words in both languages.

If I may ask a question, what is the function of the straight line that appears in some words?

shalom muhammad,
those lines are vowels - they are not normally written but are in dictionaries and for kids and beginners. there are many words that are very close to arabic, tho sometimes they are totally different. arabic grammar i think is quite different and more complex.
for more, we have to wait for our teacher to come back to class.
Reply

lavikor201
06-17-2006, 06:13 PM
snakelegs, is correct. They are vowels:

For example the "lamed" ל

If the "lamed" as a line under it you pronounce it like this:

LA
____________
If the "lamed" has 1 dot under it, then you pronounce it like this:

LEE


_______________________________________________

Another example:


מָחָר

Makhar

As you see there are lines underneath so it is MA and KHEAR


If they both had 1 dot underneath it would read out to be ME and KHER

_______________________________________

This is basically for saying the words with accuracy in prayer, so you will see it in the prayer book, and when begginers learn.

But when you learn Hebrew and speak it very well, you know what the words are so you don't need the vowels to tell you how to say it.

Is it true that Yemeni Jews are Arabs convert to Judaism?
No, I actualy have Yemenite Jewish friends... The Yemen Jews have always been Jews and can actually find by DNA in todays age that they are connected to one of the tribes which were exiled after Israel was conquered thousands of years ago.

Because of persecution because of there religious beliefs they fled Yemen and came back to Israel. Now almost all of the Jews who lived in Yemen live in Israel. They were willing to abondon there homes and lives to get out of Yemen, because of man reasons which I won;t get into.

There also about 100,000 Black Jews in Israel now... who most believe are from the lost tribe of "Dan" of the 12 tribes, and were in Northern Ethiopia.

And, is it true that some Mizrahi Jews prefer to be called as Arabs who professed Judaism belief?
I don't. But the Mizrahi Jews who number over 1 million now who lived in Israel way before the state was created were called Arab Jews because they were Arabs They were just Jewish Arabs... like there are Christian Arabs. To be an Arab is not a religion. :)
