The Title sais "Hebrew" (עברית) and I wrote (שלום, מה שלומך?) which means "Hello, how are you?"
 
Here is the Alphabet. I reckon it might be harder to memorize if you have not written and spoken Hebrew as a first language, but it is a lot easier than Arabic.

 
i think one is more commonly spoken then the other and they originated in different places, i may be really wrong though. :?
 
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.
 
Your not ashkanazi? Then i understand why, your mizrahi jew. Mizrahi jews been in the middleeast forever.
 
So your saying your ashkenazi? Ok, but 50 percent of Israel population are mizrahi jews or sephardic. I am i wrong?
 
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.
 
I know that well, i was wondering about you. But i understand where you coming from.
 
No, i am like busy with school and work. Even in the summer, i have college classes and work.
