Thanks for your response. I am aware that Israel uses the sfardy havara for the language. But why do American, usually the more modern, schools use that havara? I believe they use it at all times, to learn chumash etc. Are they trying to teach the hebrew language as opposed to Lashon Kodesh?
I can’t say for sure, but I think that the answer is yes. In my mind, MO and Zionism go hand-in-hand (someone please correct me if I’m wrong). Therefore, they have adopted Modern Hebrew as a replacement for Loshon Hakodesh.
