I'm not a Hebrew educator, but a Hebrew learner, but I would say, Yes! (I presume that "Yiddish cursive" is the same as "Hebrew cursive".) Even though learning the cursive forms of the Hebrew alphabet is kind of like learning a new alphabet (not so different from cursive forms of the Latin alphabet), the ease of writing Hebrew is considerably increased, and more than offsets the additional effort in learning the forms. -- William Parsons μη φαινεσθαι, αλλ' ειναι. _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
