I'm a Persian Jew, and we don't speak Hebrew.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no other language as similar to Hebrew like Arabic.
I feel more Jewish than I do Iranian.
I speak Urdu quite a lot, too, and I read a lot of Persian.
I speak fluent Hebrew and even dream in Hebrew when we visit there, once or twice a year.
I didn't go to Hebrew school.
I don't hide my being Israeli. I say it in every interview. I put out a record with songs in Hebrew. The people who signed me have no connection to Judaism or Israel.
It is too late to be studying Hebrew; it is more important to understand even the slang of today.
I'm not a religious person; I'm more of a spiritual person, so I follow the rules of the Bible that coordinate with and connect with the Hebrew culture.
I speak Hebrew excellently.
Hebrew is the language I use to thank the Creator and, also, to swear on the road.
