Good morning/evening to everyone!
Today (in my country, Israel) we, the Jews, have a fast day that is called tenth of Tevet (in Hebrew: עשרה בטבת, Asara Be’Tevet).
Why do we, the Jews fast on this day?
So, On this date, there was a seige of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar 2 of Babylonia and it ended in the destruction of The First Temple.
I want to wish all Jews around the world tsom kal (easy fasting)
Oh, I see.
By the way, I don’t know what about you, @Mehasels, but it is weird/funny that we speak English with each other when we both had spoken with each other in another language
No, I’m nondenominational Christian, but before I was, I’d researched all sorts of different religions and Judaism really made sense to me. Jews and Christians are familiar and share values. We’re like brothers ^^ (or like sisters, I guess. lol) Like brother-religion, I mean…>.> Not us as individuals. LOL
And don’t worry about mistakes ^^ I’m not worried about it ^^’
I do love the Hebrew language though. So much!! As you probably were able to tell. ^.-
I tried to self teach myself once, but I had a difficult time finding easily understood grammar rules. Haven’t tried since, I bet I could find something now. Lol
If you really want to learn Hebrew and understand the language, I believe you would be able to speak and understand.
Believe me, if I could learn to speak Japanese, so there is no reason why you won’t be able to learn Hebrew.
English is my first language and I used to understand a lot more German than I do right now, I kinda let it go by accident. >.>
I still remember some stuff and I could get a nice refresher for it if I applied myself. I know many words in German and can form simple sentences, but not complex ones. LOL
The full version is dankeschoen, or if you want to use an umlaut, it’d be dankeschön. Which “schön” means beautiful so it literally translates to “thank you beautifully” which I think is cool. LOL
