Comment on Is saying "Don't need to know hebrew to know the Holocaust was bad" antisemetic?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months agoFuck, I didn’t even learn enough Hebrew to read from the Torah for my Bar Mitzvah.
I used a transliterated crib sheet.
The Rabbi (my cousin), when he found out, took me aside and said, “they won’t know what you did out there today, but GOD KNOWS!”
I was an atheist then and I’m an atheist now, so I didn’t give a fuck. I had a bar mitzvah to please my grandparents and get some presents and then nope the fuck out of religion for the rest of my life.

Oh right. So knowledge of Hebrew isn’t “Univershell” then?

No, but, OTOH, if you do know Hebrew, then the odds are pretty strong that you’re ethnically or religiously Jewish.
