Ivrit, or modern Hebrew. I think all Israelis have at least one other language and when I was in Israel a few years ago I found myself wishing that I knew Russian, as a recent wave of immigration from there made it a most popular language. English is a very popular language to learn at school and most Israelis with any ambition to travel will learn it. Many Israelis speak Spanish and some speak French. The ultra orthodox Israelis will usually speak Yiddish.

I don't know why everyone has a thumbs down - most people's answers were correct.
Hebrew and Arabic and both the official languages of Israel - most speak Hebrew.

Hebrew - though there are probably differences depending on which country their ancestors came in from. Jiddish is just from the German-speaking world, most of whom are either back in Germany now or in an English-speaking country.

hebrew is the main language. arabic is also an official language. english is very common, as well as a variety of other languages. russian is very common, i think i read somewhere that about 15% of israelis speak russian. israel is basically an immigrant country so there is a lot of linguistic diversity.
