No, I am not Jewish and respectively not Israeli? I don't need to learn Hebrew..and frankly don't want to. Good luck!

Yiddish and Hebrew are different, unrelated languages. You need to specify which of the two languages you need to work with. They are as closely related as English and Arabic (literally, since Yiddish is a West Germanic language and Hebrew is a Semitic language).

I'm Israeli and I speak Hebrew.
I don't speak Yiddish, but do know that Hebrew and Yiddish are totally different languages.

I speak Hebrew fluently. I donut speak Yiddish.
2 totally different languages. Although both "Jewish".
But where is the question?
Or perhaps this is your actual question for future reference???

No, but I still speak Hebrew pretty well and basic Aramaic.
