  • Not necessarily in Hebrew

    A lot of English and Yiddish, but unfortunately not a lot of Hebrew content. SBS in Italian is actually in Italian...same with French etc - SBS in Hebrew should be the same: all or mostly in Hebrew. That being said, I understand the inclusion of Yiddish, an otherwise dying/defunct language, and it's nice to see this effort to preserve it, but that shouldn't overshadow or replace the Hebrew.
