Anyone speak fluent Hebrew?

כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל

I know that it refers to the Iron Dome. But is that a literal translation?

Thanks.

“I speak jive...”

Then it translates into something like “I keek yawl asz”.

Because Hebrew National answers to a higher authority - its Conagra owner.

According to Google Translate, it’s “Iron Dome.”

Iron Dome is the Hebrew
Now Iron is the Yiddish

Yes, it is a literal translation. Kipat Barzel = Iron Dome.

Speaking Hebrew doesn’t do me much good under the regime of Dear Leader. I am studying Ebonics so I can say things like “I be wantin’ my Obamaphone!”

Thanks - most of us are 'illiterate' in these matters.
