What is the Hebrew expression they use to describe how screwed up the situation in Israel is? It means upside down and upside down again.

That should be "Hafuch al hafuch".

Thanks.

That's easy to remember 'coz it sounds like 'how f---ed and how f---ed!'
 

Right!

I'm forced to mutter that (and worse! ) every time I listen to Arutz Sheva and hear the latest erev rav madness from the knesset!

Yeah, I've been swallowing their craps for years. What can I say.. Bunch of completely insane people..

I don't know how you Israelis cope with it all. Just having to hear those muslim animals screeching through the loudspeakers at the Kotel would send me into a phsycotic, 3D, technicolour, medievel rampage.

[DownwithIslam]

Wow watching our Israeli members translate all the Hebrew really makes me want to learn it now. I think we really have to have a organized JTF Ulpan here in NYC. Sort of like when a bunch of high school kids organize and get a driving school to give them drivers ed. We need to get this organized and get the hebrew classes rolling.

Brainwashing, brainwashing and brainwashing again. We are taught to love and feel compassion towards the Arab Muslim nazis since day one. According to the media – we are the bad guy, Israeli army is an "occupation army" that takes over "Pal@stinian" territories, Israeli pioneers are shown as "land robers" and anti-democrats, the Supreme Court is protecting the Arab killers making us afraid to even dare to defend ourselves, we have enemy-agent traitors in the Knesset (!) who want to destroy us, whom the media welcomes with great respect and honor in each station and channel, and of course,- we are always to blame, we descriminate, we oppress, we abuse..

The outcome of all this is naturally a whole disordered people with self-destructive tendencies, mental problems, twisted minds and a very hard state of stupidity,- causing them to feel guilty, humiliated and ashamed on every bit.

2 - Shtyim
3 - Shalosh

Can we organize a jtf ulpan in NYC for all the jtf members on here that want to attend? I feel that is my only way of learning hebrew. If we get enough people interested, we could find a teacher and it would cost less as well. I hope their is a good response to this.

[Sarah]

I'm making a flash game to learn Hebrew, i'm copy and pasting Hebrew Phrases and their meanings from websites and you have to match and create your own sentences. I'll hopfully finish it in about 2 weeks, with loads of different levels.

[DownwithIslam]

That is great Sarah. I can't believe how righteous you are considering your circumstances and the fact that you are literally risking your life talking to us. I hope you are freed from the shackles of Islamic life soon and that you will be free to live life the way you wish. I know how hard your situation is, the fact that if your parents get mad at you they could kill you. One of my neighbors are a jewish, super anti religious family. They have a few kids and 2 of the sons have recently become very religious. They have grown payis and they are very into learning torah and stuff. The parents are totally horrified and are not happy with their sons but they still love their children no matter what. Even though they are upset that they became religious, they will always love and do whatever they can to help their children. I think their is no reason to be upset if someone becomes a religious jew but that is not the point here. In an Islamic family, if the daughter dates a man the family doesn't approve of, she is killed. I really hope you leave your parents sarah.

[Sarah]

The thing is I love my parents as well.

What are payis?

[newman]

We know you love your folks, little one. That's what makes it so hard for you.

Payis are the long sidelocks or earlocks seen on some orthodox Jewish men. There is a mitzvah about not marring the sides of their beards.

Oh, yes, i didn't realise that was what you called them. A few years back, i asked the Islamic studies teacher at our school, why orthodox Jewish men had the sidelocks and she told me that it was a belief that they would lifted up to heaven by them and the payis would unlock the doors? Is this true?

Need a learned Jew for that one.

I've heard of grabbing someone by the 'bollocks', but never the 'sidelocks'!

Someone had posted them on a Romanian version of YouTube.
They are not that formal about copyrights there.

In the meantime, you can listen to lessons 2 and 3 now.
