Very cute :) I was really surprised when I discovered that my girlfriend can't read cursive writing. Her native language is Hebrew, and she never learned to read or write English in cursive (despite being fully fluent). I had to go back and consider how much, versus how little, our printing looks like cursive?
Whenever we watch the news or documentaries, and a handwritten document is shown, we have to pause so that I can read it to her. In the end, though, I think that she'd have an easier time learning my "secret code" than I would hers :)

I believe the lower text is Arabic, not cursive Hebrew.

And I can't read either one!
So far as I know, the block style that you illustrate is used for everything printed. Yes, religious texts ... but also regular books, newspapers, road signs, movie subtitles, etc. I think that the second block of text in your illustration is Arabic. Cursive (casual) handwritten Hebrew looks different:
