from Israel Next Podcast · host Israel Next
Why is there something called modern Hebrew? And how does it differ from Biblical Hebrew? We present you to the impressing literary giant, Eliezer Ben Yehuda. This man – almost single handedly – is the reason Jews in Israel today are not speaking Yiddisch, Ladino or even German. Listen to a fascinating story of a dedicated man. We also report on how Israel is again fighting with an increase in the corona pandemic – and look at the issue of Jewish sovereignty in Judea and Samaria from the point of view of the Palestinian Arab population. The findings will most certainly surprise you.
