yes, we all learn to read Hebrew. No matteer where or when Jews have lived, we have always learnt and taught our kids Hebrew. Obviously some of us speak, read etc it better than others. But its pretty much a given.

 

Yes, in the synagogue only the hand-written Torah scrolls are used. It takes about 1 year to write one.

 

We have plenty of mass printed/produced books - on various levels from adults to kids. But we always refer back to the original scroll when necessary.

 

I am very happy happy to talk to you. You can PM me if you like. That will be much easier
