[@joeanthony2879]

You are talented, a great communicator, and a nice person. When I plan my next trip to the Holy Land, you will be my guide!

[@melangreathouse2209]

As happens with KZbin, you just popped up on my channel, but I’m glad that I watched a couple of your videos. You show a side of Israeli life that few foreigners are exposed to. I like your honesty, and sincerity. I’m subscribing to your channel. Shalom!

[@florianforster4611]

You are really doing a great job , Bruder 👍🏻 Much love from Tanzania 🇹🇿

[@הראלהצ]

hi oren i am an israeli and i never asked a person next to me all those questions unless there is a conversation. i also want to point that good english also come from many years of studying in school. besides that i am so pleased from your vidoes, they are the best.

[@loveinaction2772]

I think you do a wonderful job and like your sites.

[@iswiu2bl]

Feeling relieved to know this in advance! Thank you~

[@linksjerrylikes]

Oren, love your videos. You are a great anthropologist. What in your opinion would be considered rude in Israel?

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Thanks. Israelis are very direct. I think that Israelis don't like when tourist tell us how to solve the Arab Israeli conflict.

[@marcospascoal6337]

I will see all of your videos, because you speak clearly, and I can understand almost all.

[@jonatasteles7225]

Absolutely

[@katej392]

The formality part is actually quite similar to swedish (calling people by first name). However we are extremely non direct in contrast hahah

[@init100]

Swedes are very conflict-averse, people become very uncomfortable when disagreements are voiced. It's a consensus-seeking society, which tends to shut out opinions that go against the grain.

[@davidrobins4025]

Thanks for the lesson. Very helpful.

[@coreygrua3271]

Common sense view from on the ground. Very authentic and very intriguing. Thank you.

[@marilialevacov2939]

One can learn how to ask a question but that doesn't mean the ANSWER will be understood. But I like your videos a lot. Todá rabá meod!

[@rotemta7]

Toda raba it's enough, when you ad meod you say "thank you very much alot" ☺️

[@jerseygirl3428]

I lived in Israel for a year before I married my Israeli husband (we live in the US now). I was on a bus and somebody asked if I was American, which would not be an unusual question to ask a stranger in the US. I said yes and they then asked if I was a Christian (the St. Francis medal gave it away?) which NOBODY in the US would ask a stranger. You probably wouldn't even directly ask a neighbor or someone you work with.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

After a 4 hour tour with Israelis I know to whom all of them voted in the last election :-). I love it.

[@Giureh--G.I.U.R.E.H.]

@@Travelingisraelinfo Hi bro, I also do facts just like you, and I'd advise you to watch my latest video on the Hamas and the Swiss connection. I'm not Jewish, not Christian and not Muslim, and a lot of Jewish people are fans of my videos like the Jewish Hollywood star Roseanne and many others. I've also done interviews with Israelis. You may use the intel from that video, if you just leave me the honour, that's all. So, watch that video and learn something new, good luck and continue, what you're doing.

[@melanivictor436]

Just found this one...short but interesting, as always 👍

[@519djw6]

I really like your site, but I'd like to point out that several European countries also use subtitles, instead of dubbing--particularly Scandinavia and the Netherlands and the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium. (Interestingly, I have heard that Dutch/Flemish have almost *exactly* the same phonetics as Hebrew--but I'm not sure if this is true. Can someone verify or contradict this for me?)

[@MangoNizer]

Little correction: All the movies are not dubbed in Europe, at least not in Scandinavia. They are always in the original language and subtitled. Except the movies for minors (0-6) who are unable to read.

[@floralscene]

Interesting. In my online lessons, I learned Mar and Gveret to say Mr. and Miss. Should I not expect to ever use those words?

[@Abilliph]

Mar isn't used much anymore. When you are addressing a stranger, you normally say adoni (my lord), for an older man, or gverti (my lady), for an older woman, or achi (my brother), for a guy your age. The moment you know their name the formalities are mostly over.

[@markberryhill2715]

Another way to learn the Hebrew alphabet is from Psalms 119 in the old King James 1611 Bible. It is the Rosetta Stone fort English speakers who want to at least learn something about Hebrew.

[@HSBlok-sw6hq]

Dear Oren, also in Holland exists subtiteling in the maternal language (Dutch) concerning foreign films. Therefore the Dutch master English easily. So, not every country in Europe synchronizes foreign films in their own language, like you stated in your video. Furthermore, the Dutch are also direct. Altnough they miss the chutspe where Israelisch/Jews are famous for. Always enjoy your videos and wisdom. Yalabye :) Dutchie.

[@init100]

It's the same in Sweden when it comes to subtitles. Only children's movies are dubbed, everything else is subtitled.

[@philcoppa]

forgive me for laughing, but it seems NYC Jews have a lot of that in them.. They're famous for being very 'direct'.

[@tiagomaroclo1]

Very good videos

[@vishallawande8163]

nice keep it up

[@Robohead-z6z]

Not all the tv series in Israel is in English. I found Bluey the Hebrew version on KZbin.

[@existingcard]

Do they teach English in Israeli schools? I visited a couple of years ago. I was disappointed that a young cashier could not understand I wanted to buy water. Also, I asked a couple of young men about a festival they were celebrating. They said they couldn’t speak English.

[@bentzikesher1365]

They teach here English in most schools. The cashier and young men might left their studies. Strict religious people don't study English in general. Most young people know it good enough. My son is translating English films subtitles to Hebrew.

[@johneldard6673]

Is it not appropriate to ask you to identify the different sects hats? Who wears what type of hat?

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

The Orthodox Jews? It is very interesting!

[@johneldard6673]

@@Travelingisraelinfo yes but I see different style hats on different men

[@bentzikesher1365]

True, but very complicated to explain.

[@alonh.4968]

שלום! אני אלון ואני מישראל! גם אתה מישראל?

[@almounasaddiyeh8685]

iPod and iPad sound the same???? 😫

[@liebendog]

Also Oren did you manage to get any info on the couple in the Jewish quarter that have opened their home and dug deep and revealed a wealth of archeology ? It's a husband and wife and they have tours under their home ? Toda Oren

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

I am sorry, I didn't find any information. There are many houses in the old city that have a wealth of archaeology under their floor.

[@thelifeofmatt8597]

The Jew fears the Samurai.

[@jedsum]

So now I know it’s Owen not Oren.

[@bentzikesher1365]

Oren meaning pine tree.

[@NormanF62]

Hebrew is a Canaanite language. Its also the language of Judah. Described as both in the Bible, over the millennia, It became a Jewish language long after the original inhabitants went extinct. Cultural appropriation can be a positive influence in defining and maintaining a national identity. Neither the Jews nor Israel would exist today if that hadn’t happened. Hebrew is not only their inheritance, it was the basis of the greatest work in the world: the Bible.
