|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:37 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren not being hostile. just tell me what you want to know. i don't think my household would have been much different than the goyim household down the block. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358361) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:47 AM Author: Poppy tantric clown giraffe Ok, let's start at something simple and relative. What was your religious upbringing like? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358376) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:50 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren secular. i had a bar mitzvah and my parents sent me to hebrew school for a couple years before it. we went to temple mainly for the high holidays. and we'd celebrate the major fun holidays like hanukkah, passover, etc. with food/presents. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358382) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:53 AM Author: Poppy tantric clown giraffe have you retained any interest in the religion itself? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358390) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:55 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren no; i'm pretty athiest/agnostic, but i sometimes enjoy learning torah from an academic/cultural/historical perspective. having a debate about some talmud provision with some other nasaly jews and asking where we draw the line is pretty 180.
i grew up around lots of jews. |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 2:58 AM Author: Poppy tantric clown giraffe how well do you know hebrew, and how hard of a language is it to learn? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358401) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:03 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren i can read and write. i know very basic grammar and sentence structure, and have a vocab of probably like 200 words. in other words, my hebrew is pretty SPS.
it's a relatively easy language to learn. the grammar is pretty simple. and the vocab is pretty limited; there aren't 5 words for the same thing like in english, since it's a simple ancient language.
most new immigrants pick it up very quickly, between the free hebrew classes and the immersion. |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:07 AM Author: Poppy tantric clown giraffe do you understand vowels at all? that seems pretty complicated. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358421) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:12 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren the vowels is only for biblical hebrew. it's simple. the characters are consonants and each vowel is a symbol placed below the consonant. it'd be like writing english words with consonants only and putting each consonant's vowel that follows below it.
modern hebrew doesn't use the vowels, which makes it harder to read because you can't really sound shit out. you have to recognize the word. it'd be like writing english without the vowels. native speakers would be able to understand an english sentence without the vowels, but some FOB would struggle. |

tbf, it costs like $50K for a torah. |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:16 AM Author: fishy thriller coldplay fan sneaky criminal What? $50k why? What are you talking about. Bibles are free. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358451) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:18 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren an actual torah, not a printed copy in a book. that shit has to be written by hand on the scroll paper. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2151206&forum_id=2#22358456) |

Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:33 AM Author: Ultramarine Brethren do you have any israeli culture/mannerisms?
did you get an exemption / consider living there as an adult? |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2013 3:36 AM Author: Out-of-control Crystalline Liquid Oxygen 1. yes. a little bit in my word choice and inflections, no? I also get into screaming arguments with friends and assume it's NBD
2. I got a military deferment that I keep with my israeli passport. I don't really want to live there because I don't want to relearn hebrew and it would disrupt my career (academia) |
