  • Children near Mea-Shearim

    • Though most of the residents of Mea-Shearim speak Hebrew, the most radical sects speak only Yiddish, a German-Jewish language, in their daily lives. They refuse to speak Hebrew, one of the official languages of Israel. They view it as a sacred tongue, only for prayer and religion learning. Many people have the idea that Yiddish is spoken only by old people and even there are some that think that Yiddish is a dead language, but in Mea-Shearim and nearby places you can hear children speaking this singular language that survived the Holocaust.

     Care to be dressed yourself by modest way! Especially important for females: no short dress, no open shoulders/hands, etc – it’s for your safety and comfort.    		Pelourinho Sat Dec 2, 2006 02:48 UTC
     I remember that song from 1973, when I was 20 and visited Israel for the first time (3 months). I stayed in Yerushalayim this summer with my family, and I want to tell you that I support Israel!

     Nice page and tips, Raul! I hope you'll find the time to write more. Thanks for visiting my HP. Greetings from Bucharest. Diana    		gilabrand Mon Feb 13, 2006 14:24 UTC
     That was fun, Raul! I really enjoyed meeting you. The rest of my trip to Beersheva was wonderful - and as you see, I'm back at the computer...
