Yitzhak,

Your statement to the effect that "Modern spoken Hebrew is a hybrid  
language" is not only baseless and senseless, but is also an outright  
religiously motivated sectarian diatribe. It provides good indication  
as to the quality and sincerely of everything else you say, here and  
elsewhere.
