    The Israeli Society(Baruch Ha Baim)
    They surely must be some Sabras on here attempted to do a similar thread in Ivrit but it flopped. Anyone from Israel on here this is the thread for you.

    It goes beyond Israel, Anti-Semitism is the longest hatred. I'm suspicious of people that say "I Only HATE Israel and it shouldn't exist", chances are they hate jews as-well.

    I hate the Israeli foreign policy AND the Palestinian one.

    Probably...its just people assuming tht just because the israeli governmebt acts in certain ways and the palestinians act in certain ways such as hamas etc, they think ALL israelis, jews, pals, muslims or etc are like tht...

    Now im not jewish or israeli, in fact im muslim but I have some lovely jewish friends (british born tho)..n I dnt stereotype...but going off topic, I came here because you said your israeli and tht mean you can speak hebrew...and as I love languages, and the two I am most obsessed with currently nd learning are Portuguese and Hebrew...;-)
    Itd b cool to know sum catchphrases and day to day idioms of hebrew :-P

    Thanks, gonna be useful...when I go to israel..not in near future though, lol, with all the religious/political tensions etc I think only certain people get in(think they even banned poet Geunter Grass)....but I always wanted to see some famous landmarks there.....by sabra, do you mean like native israeli?
    I can read arabic, not understand it, dont you think, despite the script, its actually quite similat to hebrew? An btw, ivrit script, I dont know if its just me,looks quite similar with Hindi sceipt.
    U kno the way they recite the torah in melodious singing voices, its so beautiful, reminds me, just like recital (tilawat) of the quran in arabic- do u find the hebrew of torah is harder to understand, since its older language, compared to todays speaking language- because its like that for arabic, (example, shakespeares in english, but english speakers need to decipher the meanings of the language, trust me, we studied Romeo n juliet two years in a row lol) :-) x

    1. Yes Sabra means a native Israeli
    2. Yes Ivrit is quite similar to Arabic and it is expected to be since they are both semitic languages
    3. The Hebrew of the Torah(The Written Torah) i would say is fairly easy to understand i would say i understand at least 85% of it in Hebrew. However the Oral Torah(Mishnah) written in Mishnaic Hebrew is quite hard.

    3. The Mishnah is a mixture of Aramaic and Hebrew, it is not Mishnaic Hebrew fyi

    You made a few mistakes her its

    אני רצה לבקר ישראל בעתיד

    and not

    הייתי רוצה לבקר בישראל בעתיד
    As this pretty much sounds in the past tense

    Oh yeah sorry you are correct the Mishnah is purely hebrew. However, the oral Torah I meant to say which includes the Gemorah is part Aramaic.
