Actually, my husband, whose American accent in Hebrew
is readily apparent, often ends up in the ridiculous
position of having conversations in which he struggles
to continue in Hebrew, while his Israeli counterpart
insists on "practicing" his English with him. This
has happened everywhere from Eilat to Haifa.
And of course, as long as the universities insist on
forcing Native born Israeli students to read all their
texts in English ( especially noticeable in the fields
of law, psychology and medicine) then English will
continue to be relevant in areas all over the country,
and certainly not just in cities with high Anglo
populations like Ra'anana.
Whether this is a good thing or not is really up to
individual interpretation.
Chag Sameach,
Jodi Schenck
