I am just saying they should substitute the Arabic script for the second one. And no matter how confusing you think the Arabic is, it is unrealistic for the Jews to live in the Middle East without being able to read the dominant alphabet of the region.Marty Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624084719249673373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-7660074169679313652012-07-19T21:26:57.461-07:002012-07-19T21:26:57.461-07:00I would like to point out that the Hebrew script i...I would like to point out that the Hebrew script is at least as Middle Eastern as Arabic so I have no idea why Hebrew should be written in Arabic letters. This is before even going into the fact that the Hebrew script is older than the Arabic script. And to conclude let me point out that many Jews would under your system have to learn the Hebrew alphabet anyway in order to read from the Torah, and for no perceptible gain. Arabic is also significantly more confusing as an alphabet than Hebrew and I have studied both.adilkahirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668842001547138403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-732619155074436532012-02-13T18:08:30.494-08:002012-02-13T18:08:30.494-08:00I wholeheartedly support this idea - allowing Arab...I wholeheartedly support this idea - allowing Arabic to be used with the Hebrew language. I am the leader of a synagogue, and I am doing this very thing! Arabic is not hard to learn how to read, it is a beautiful script (able to do things Hebrew cannot), and the Hebrew letters have perfectly matching Arabic counterparts.<br />The Hebrew script has been used to write Yiddish (German) and Ladino (Spanish), so why should Arabic be refused for Hebrew?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-68703139064749731612012-01-26T19:36:24.147-08:002012-01-26T19:36:24.147-08:00I've tried to learn the Arabic alphabet, not v...I've tried to learn the Arabic alphabet, not very systematically however, and it looks way too difficult, especially since I am not terribly motivated, only slightly, but now that I have DSL, I can look at youtube clips. I also have the Pimsleur arabic audiotapes and I can say the car is blue, the car is red, the car is white. What was fun for me was that I found out that the Syrian (Jewish) surnames in the 'hood are colors in Arabic, or the Arabic equivalent of "Klein and "Gross" "Schwartz" and "Weiss" (Kassir and Tawil, Sued and Beyda)Perelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-68347805977621698472011-11-15T19:09:41.027-08:002011-11-15T19:09:41.027-08:00It's true that Hebrew and Arabic script are bo...It's true that Hebrew and Arabic script are both insane: but that's no reason we shouldn't dump our Hebrew and learn their Arabic. We ought to be learning their Arabic anyhow just to communicate with them in their own language, so adopting their script for our Hebrew doesn't mean we have to learn an extra script...it means we DON'T have to learn our own insane script. And neither do the Arabs have to learn our script. It's a huge efficiency gain all around.<br /><br />The absense of vowels is a sore point for North Americans, but in the Middle East it makes a lot more sense based on the nature of the Semitic languages, so I don't accept that as a flaw. And finally, you're ignoring a huge point in favor of Arabic script: it's incredibly beautiful and something to be proud of. We should make it ours.Martynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-91463912361826261152011-11-15T12:09:08.742-08:002011-11-15T12:09:08.742-08:00I'd say it needs more than a small bump. Both ...I'd say it needs more than a small bump. Both Hebrew and Arabic scripts are plagued with every flaw in the book: poor readability from a distance. Similarity of letters, absences and duplicates, the moronic use of soffits (I'm waiting for a gimel-soffit; no one ever knows which 'G' in Gog (roof) is the final one), oh and the pathetic lack of vowels. I wouldn't wish arabic or hebrew on my worst enemy.<br />There, I feel better now. But I forgot about 'No capital letters'. Duh. First-graders in English already know their importance. Oof, now I'm mad again(!)<br />I do agree with your plea for sending a signal of belonging to the Middle East, for all the good it might do. And cancelling Arabic as an official language is a monstrously idiotic suggestion. Unbelievable. We have a 16% Arabic-speaking minority. Bad enough most of our cousins had to learn Hebrew.jsolberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841488269105958013noreply@blogger.com
