Branching Out woolie ωσσℓιє says "And wow, saw yours and Lumanny's conversation in hebrew. Understood not one word of it. All I can do is read and write the characters but I can't translate them or make up my own sentences out of them."
That's the problem with Hebrew schools and why kids can barely even read and write in Hebrew. They don't understand it, and it's harder for them to read and write in a language they can't speak. It'd be easier to do that if you knew what it said, though. I don't know, didn't they do a good job with me? The key was probably that they taught as the phonetics and the word meanings simeltaneously; I imagine that learning either before the other would be confusing as Hell.

ωσσℓιє says "They never actually taught us the language in Hebrew school, just enough to be able to read and speak it for going to Shul and for the Batmitzvahs. I'd love to learn the language though."

Sorry, I wasn;t clear. Yeah, at most Hebrew schools, they teach just the reading and writing. You don't learn to speak it and you certainly don't learn the meaning behind the words. It's all jibber-jabber to most. If you go to an all-day Hebrew school, you learn to speak it, but most after-school Hebrew schools just teach reading and writing to due time constraints.

The kids don't learn a thing. It's all just so they can learn for their Bar-Mitzvah and move on with their life. Then they forget everything. It's a real shame that they aren't able to really gain anything important out of it.

Hebrew is too beautiful and Holy of a language to only know the phonetics.

ωσσℓιє says "It's because my one's only a Sunday school. But yeah, what Ben just said is what they do (except, obviously for me it's Bat Mitzvah) but I haven't forgotten the reading bit because I try to go to the Shabbos service at shul as regularly as possible and follow the service."

Hello Jewish Gaians Guild,
iJew. Isn't that enough to sum up what we believe in, and what we are about? Our battlecry, our selfless motivation, and our tradition... iJew. That's why I proclaim this title on a bunch of sites and such... because I am a Jewish person who believes in saying right out that being Jewish is who I am.
Hey, well... I'm a bit of a deeper person. I want to forge relationships and such... and truly be apart of a community of people actively seeking HaShem. This is how I categorize myself:
Reform in tradition. Conservative in lifestyle. Orthodox in faith.
I'm not an active synagogue-goer... but not a Yom Kippur'r'r, either... I guess. I'm a combination of "deeply thought-provoking" and "active Jewish lifestyle." I do not believe solely in rabbinical teachings, the Talmud, or things of that nature to guide my life... but I keep it in my mind. Channukah is nice... but seeing how I only get chocolate coins every year, obviously either 1) my parents hate me or 2) God doesn't care about Channukah.
Another thing. God vs. G-d. Don't really care about it... if you put a hyphen between G and D, I'm assuming you're putting on a show of your faith in HaShem rather than paying true respect... because from reading some of the posts in here, respect is something flippantly thrown towards HaShem I suppose... not a full devotion. Not that I am not tolerant of it, I just am pointing out that if the God vs. G-d causes you to bring it up in a more complex discussion with me... I'll most likely refer to your previous posts...
Haha, I just wanted to lay out everything on the table, because I know you'd probably be expecting the same old, same old Jewbear... >.> ((my nickname)).
Instead... you got Intelligence 101.

שלום, חברים.
I'm back from the dead. Although I think you'll find I'm quite a different person now. It's been a few regenerations.
So what's new?
