Do all Jews know Hebrew

Answer 1

NO. Do Christians only speak English?

More seriously, though, most Jews speak the lingua franca or official language(s) of their country of birth or residence. For example, most American, Canadian (aside from Quebec), and British Jews speak English. Most Quebecois and French Jews speak French. Most Argentine and Mexican Jews speak Spanish. Most Russian and Ukrainian Jews speak Russian. Many also speak Jewish languages, of which Hebrew is just one of many, including: Yiddish, Ladino, Yevanic, and Judeo-Arabic.

Answer 2

Jews who know their way around the Talmud are able to speak Aramaic.

However, most Jews do not use Aramaic as a conversational language, preferring instead to use local vernaculars like English and French; and historically, Jewish languages like Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, or Modern Hebrew.

Answer 3

Of course. Orthodox Jews speak the languages of the countries in which they reside, just as any other citizens of those countries do. Examples include Spanish by the Orthodox Jews of Argentina, Spain, and Panama, Persian (Farsi) by the Orthodox Jews of Iran, Hindi by the Orthodox Jews of India, Arabic by the Orthodox Jews of Iraq and Israel, French by the Orthodox Jews of France, German by the Orthodox Jews of Germany, Hebrew and Yiddish by the Orthodox Jews of Israel, Polish by the Orthodox Jews of Poland, Chinese by the Orthodox Jews of HongKong, Russian by the Orthodox Jews of Russia, English by the Orthodox Jews of the US, Canada, HongKong, the UK, Israel, South Africa, Australia etc.
