Just a bit.  Unlike with Russian, the Cartel would have much trouble
validating the Hebrew skills, and going by Google Translate, grammar
mistakes aren't as much problem.

Also, I have a few Jewish friends who can help with translation of the token
phrases.  One, I helped to translate a birthday card to his Russian
girlfriend, so I even have a suitable favour to cash in :-)

I had a Hebrew ABC when I was about 7, and I learnt the spelling basics, but
without practice, I've forgotten pretty much everything.  Furthermore, as
Miacek pointed out, there's also Yiddish; as a Germanic language, it should
be easier to learn, but an uninitiated person is unlikely to know the
difference from how it looks.

to pull something like this, extraordinary motivation is needed.

Similarly, US military in Afghanistan has reported that it routinely gains
favour with local village elders and warlords by offering simple favours of
personal significance, from transporting a sick family member to a nearby
hospital via a helicopter (as roads are very poor outside Kabul), or
sometimes even just handing over some Viagra.  It's not easy maintaining the
status-mandated four wives while being a sixty-year-old tribal leader of a
rural village near Amu Darya ...
