Thanks.

Thank you.

Tell him to go to Israel, or any synagogue, and he'll run into several million people who can speak it with varying degrees of fluency.

Too bad there's no Hebrew word for asshole.

I think calling him a moron is giving him too much credit for the stellar vacuum between his ears. :)
