If Donald Trump supporters start wondering why their favorite vice presidential candidate is speaking in tongues, it may be because Mike Pence has embraced the language of Moses, novelist S.Y. and rapper The Shadow.
According to a spokesperson for the Trump campaign in Israel, which has recently begun stumping for expat votes, Pence took the time to hold up some Hebrew-language campaign signs during a flight Tuesday while on the campaign trail.

He also gave a shout out to the Israeli campaign team, likely in English.
The governor of Indiana, Pence visited Israel in 2014, and is seen as strong supporter of the Jewish state.
The statement does not say if Pence learned any Hebrew, but considering Donald Trump’s Tuesday prediction that Israel will be destroyed unless he’s elected he perhaps shouldn’t bother.

Pence isn’t the first to pander to Jews by campaigning in their language.
At the Democratic National Convention last month, Bill Clinton was spotted wearing a Hebrew Hillary button.
