Am I in crazy land? You guys are asking how Hebrew is THE Jewish language?
I don’t get how anyone can be “frum” and not speak Hebrew? This is not a Dati Leumi thing or tzioyni thing. It’s the most basic thing in being a Jew. You learn in Hebrew, pray in Hebrew etc. It’s not like it’s some language that we’re not exposed to at all. Plus go to Israel and even in “Chareidi” yeshivas they speak Hebrew.
Now, I’m not expecting everyone to speak like an Israeli but every observant Jew should have some sort of command of the Hebrew language especially in 2019. An argument could be made for 1850s Poland or Libya. But not now.
Am I in some sort of strange dream?
