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.

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.

how well do you know hebrew, and how hard of a language is it to learn?

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.

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.

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)
