Being Jewish and speaking Hebrew

Question

Is it normal for a Jew (like me) to NOT speak Hebrew, not even a little? Because I don’t at all šŸ™ and wish to learn.

Answer

Thank You for your question. It is normal that a Jew does not speak Hebrew. Unfortunately many Jewish children did not have the opportunity to go to a Jewish Day School and never learned. It is important to note that one can pray in any language as G-d can hear you in any language.
