The odds of coming across cursive Hebrew is virtually non-existent. Purist will argue, with some validity, that the Hebrew writing system can not have a cursive form.
Cyrillic has both upper case and lower case, along with both a printed form, and cursive form.
The cursive forms in CJKV are usually referred to as grass style.
The Indus Valley writing systems are the ones that lack a cursive form.
If you want to go back in time, neither Maya, Hieroglyphics nor Cuneiform have a cursive form.
Three writing systems, all of which have a cursive form, suffice for writing roughly 80% of the languages that have been reduced to writing.
