  Hebrew language - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
English has been a very strong influence, both from British influence during the period of the Mandate and American influence in the present day.
Finally, Arabic, being the language of numerous Mizrahic and Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Arab countries as well as of the Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, has also had an important influence on Hebrew, especially in slang ((for example, "sababa", meaning "excellent", or "y'alla", meaning "come on.")
Modern Hebrew is printed with a script known as "square".

 The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles
When Shlomo Bar started making music professionally in the mid-1970s, there was no such thing as “world music.” So he helped create it.
Bar, a Moroccan-born Israeli, founded Habrera Hativit in the late ’70s as a band whose music would be a creative fusion of the many different sounds of Sephardic and Mizrahic music.
Thirty years and 11 albums later, Habrera Hativit is still one of the most dynamic ensembles in world music, energetic purveyors of a unique kind of Sephardic funk whose origins span the entire Mediterranean and points much farther east, as their Los Angeles appearance on June 25 at the Scottish Rite Auditorium will undoubtedly prove.

The result is A Fistful of Lentils, an intimate culinary food album featuring more than 125 Syrian-Jewish recipes, warm family anecdotes, and little-known stories of Syrian-Jewish culture.
Syrian-Jewish cooking comes from the Sephardic (Spanish) and Mizrahic (Arabic) traditions rather than from the Ashkenazic (Eastern European) tradition.
The lavish food features meats simmered with cumin, allspice, or cinnamon; savory vegetables, stuffed or roasted; sweet and sour sauces; lemony dressings; and rich sugar-dusted pastries drenched in rosewater syrup or sprinkled with almonds.
