Episode: 2882 Eliezer Ben Yehuda and the Revival of Hebrew.  Today, the revival of an ancient language.

Sizi dünyanın en inatçı, en hırslı isimlerinden biriyle tanıştıralım: Eliezer Ben-Yehuda! İbranice'yi var eden adam! Gizemli olduğu kadar inatçılığıyla da başarıya ulaşmış bir biyografiyi izlemeye hazır mısınız? Başlayalım!

On October 13th, 1881, the linguist and grammarian Eliezer Ben-Yehuda held what is thought to have been the first modern conversation in Hebrew with two friends at a Paris café. The conversation would have had some serious stumbling blocks, given that the language was still missing numerous modern words including bicycle, towel, and – crucially for being in a cafe – a word for coffee. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss the connection between Hebrew's revival and growing Jewish nationalism; look at the personal lengths Ben-Yehuda was willing to go to make the language take off, including speaking to his son exclusively in Hebrew; and explain why, in the early days, conversing in an ancient language must have been like speaking exclusively in David Bowie song lyrics… Further Reading: • ‘Revival of the Hebrew language' (The Jerusalem Post, 2010): https://www.jpost.com/jewish-world/jewish-news/this-week-in-history-revival-of-the-hebrew-language  • ‘How to revive an ancient language, according to 19th-century Hebrew and Persian revivalists' (University of Washington, 2018): https://jewishstudies.washington.edu/israel-hebrew/reviving-hebrew-persian-ancient-languages-eliezer-ben-yehuda-manekji-limji-hataria/  • ‘Hebrew wasn't spoken for 2,000 years.

El hebreo es el idioma oficial de la nación de Israel y fue revivido como un idioma moderno hace 150 años. Aproximadamente 9 millones de personas lo hablan, y miles lo estudian como una herramienta central para el estudio y la comprensión de la Biblia desde sus escritos originales. Eliezer Ben Yehuda es el principal responsable y artífice del renacimiento y la reimplantación de la lengua hebrea como lengua hablada y escrita en los tiempos modernos, dentro de sus aportes también se destaca el haber escrito el primer diccionario hebreo moderno. Desde el judaísmo, el hebreo se practica como un vínculo espiritual, su uso es considerado una lengua sagrada, por medio de la cual se elevan plegarias, oraciones y canciones. El idioma hebreo es hablado mayormente en Israel, aunque por la expansión judía en el mundo es hablado y oído en más de 80 países. La escritura hebrea se escribe de derecha a izquierda, pero la escritura de los números se realiza como escribimos el español, de izquierda a derecha. Los símbolos de la numeración son tomados del sistema arábigo, es decir, son exactamente como las formas y valores de los números que usamos. El alfabeto del hebreo, utiliza un sistema de escritura identificado como Abjad, que tiene solo símbolos para las consonantes. Sí tiene vocales, pero en su mayoría no es necesario escribir las vocales, el sistema de su escritura provee las herramientas para que el lector sea el que pronuncie la vocal adecuada en cada palabra. El hebreo y el árabe son parecidos ya que ambas son lenguas semíticas, y manejan sistemas gramaticales parecidos. En la actualidad se han venido agregando palabras del francés, griego, español y árabe. Los estudiantes que pretendan aprender este idioma, pueden apoyarse en la gran oferta de cursos virtuales respaldados por prestigiosas universidades de Israel. Hablar hebreo, un sueño que nos acerca, a los judíos y a Israel.

Es muy usual encontrar en las calles de las principales ciudades de Israel, carteles escritos en hebreo, árabe e inglés, tres idiomas con tres alfabetos diferentes que son muy comunes entre sus habitantes. El hebreo es hablado por el 70% de la población, y el árabe es usado por alrededor del 20%. Sin embargo, un buen número de israelíes hablan inglés fluido, pues este idioma ha sido enseñado como parte de un objetivo nacional desarrollado por el plan de educación, para capacitarlos de cara al mundo laboral, las relaciones internacionales y el turismo. Antes de la creación del Estado de Israel, el hebreo era una lengua que había dejado de usarse en el siglo IV, pero el lexicógrafo Eliezer Ben Yehuda, logró recuperarla como lengua materna del pueblo judío. A principios del siglo XX, este idioma con más de tres mil años de historia, comenzó a usarse de nuevo, y hoy más de ocho millones de personas hablan hebreo. Otros idiomas que se hablan en Israel han surgido como causa de la inmigración proveniente especialmente de Francia, Rusia y Etiopía, y aunque se hablan en menor porcentaje, es factible comunicarse en francés, ruso y amárico. El estudio del idioma español ha venido en aumento gracias a la inmigración proveniente de los países hispanohablantes, y en especial por la tendencia de muchos jóvenes israelíes de viajar a América Latina luego de prestar su servicio militar.

Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, considerado “el padre del hebreo moderno,” falleció a causa de tuberculosis a la edad de 64 años. Treinta mil personas de luto asistieron a su funeral en el Monte de los Olivos en Jerusalén. Nacido dentro de una familia religiosa, Ben Yehuda fue expuesto a la literatura de la ilustración y las artes. A temprana edad, comenzó a interesarse en la literatura hebrea y la idea del renacimiento nacional judío. En 1879, su artículo “She'elah Lohatah”, que significa “Una Pregunta Ardiente”, fue uno de los primeros en exigir la formación de un centro nacional y espiritual judío en Palestina. En 1881, se mudó a Jerusalén diciendo a su esposa que solo hablarían hebreo y criaría al primer niño parlante del hebreo moderno. En 1890, Ben-Yehuda fundó el “Va'ad ha-Lashon,” el precursor de la Academia de Lengua Hebrea, la cual hoy día es la autoridad principal del hebreo moderno. Millones de israelíes o judíos alrededor del mundo hablan el hebreo moderno en la actualidad gracias a las contribuciones de Ben-Yehuda. El idioma hebreo y la literatura hebrea se han convertido en adhesivos sociales importantes para la comunidad judía inmigrante de diversos orígenes geográficos.

The revival of modern Hebrew began on this day in 1881, when Eliezer Ben-Yehuda began speaking it exclusively among friends and family. / On this day in 1917, a crowd of thousands of people gathered in Fátima, Portugal, to witness a miracle, and many reported seeing unusual solar activity that became known as the Miracle of the Sun.

If you’ve learned anything about the spread of Modern Hebrew, you probably heard that it’s all thanks to one man - Eliezer Ben Yehuda - that Israel’s national language is Hebrew and not Yiddish (or even German!). Not to spoil a good story with fact, but that’s not exactly how the rebirth of Hebrew went down. Far from being a crusade of one, it took an entire nation to revive a language that had been close to death for millennia. ~~~~ The Unpacking Israeli History Podcast series is sponsored by Andrea and Larry GillThis episode is sponsored by Jack and Ellen Kahan Zager in honor of Ala and Yoske (z”l) Brosh. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://unpacked.media/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked  Teaching about this topic?

What does it mean to be a Zionist? Given the wide range of figures in the movement throughout history, it's difficult to agree on a single definition. Jews dreamt of Zion for thousands of years, and in the 19th century they began to move from utopianism to realism, from dreams to politics. Some leaders were pragmatic in their thinking, such as Eliezer Ben Yehuda, while others were far more idealist, such as Theodor Herzl. How did these different visions come together to form a state? In this episode, Ari discusses this range of perspectives with Rachel Fish. What was Zionism, and what should it be in our own times? Dr. Rachel Fish is founding Executive Director of the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism. Fish was most recently Senior Advisor and Resident Scholar of Jewish/Israel Philanthropy at the Paul E. Singer Foundation in New York City.

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. 

Hvorfor finnes det noes om kalles moderne hebraisk? Og hvordan skiller denne seg fra bibelsk hebraisk? I denne episoden presenterer vi deg for den litterære kjempen Eliezer Ben Yehuda. Denne mannen sørget nesten alene for at israelerne i dag ikke snakker jiddisk, ladino eller til og med tysk. Lytt til den fascinerende historien om en spesielt hengitt mann. Vi rapporterer også om hvordan Israel enn en gang kjemper mot koronapandemien – og vi ser på temaet jødisk suverenitet i Judea og Samaria fra et palestinsk-arabisk perspektiv. Det vi presenterer deg for vil ganske sikkert overraske deg.

İbraniceyi, sinagoglardan ve tozlu kitap sayfalarından çıkarma gayesiyle yola çıkan Eliezer Ben Yehuda, 13 Ekim 1881'de Paris'te bir grup arkadaşına ilk kez İbranice hitap etti ve Eliezer'in sözleri, “Modern dönemdeki ilk İbranice günlük konuşma” olarak kayıtlara geçti. Öncelikle kendi ailesine İbranice konuşmayı şart koşan Ben Yehuda'nın ömrünü adadığı İbraniceyi diriltme mücadelesi videomuzda...

Eliezer ben Yehuda carries the name of the man who is synonymous with rejuvenating Hebrew as a living language. 162 years after the birth of his famous grandfather he spoke with Eve Harow about his namesake, his family and why he’s not in Israel. A very long, deep and even painful conversation that exposes the incredible difficulties and betrayals of the times and hence the origins of tensions that exist till this day.

O Hebraico, por muitos anos, foi considerado uma língua morta, utilizada apenas em adoração a Deus. A pessoa responsável por revitalizar este idioma e fazer desta língua uma que possa ser falada diariamente foi Eliezer Ben Yheuda e é sobre ele que falamos no primeiro episódio do podcast Simplesmente Hebraico.

Having brought Hebrew into house, now he would seek to make Hebrew the national language. For this, he was excommunicated from Judaism!

In part 2 of our Ben Yehuda story we discover how Eliezer Ben Yehuda updated the previously ancient language into the modern world.

The revival of modern Hebrew began on this day in 1881, when Eliezer Ben-Yehuda began speaking it exclusively among friends and family. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

How to revive a language that hasn't been spoken for 18 centuries? The Jews had been working to revive Hebrew for decades, but it was the Zionists -- led by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda and his family -- who succeeded in turning Hebrew into the national language. 

Jews have been longing for Jerusalem for two thousand years. But in the 19th century only a few were courageous enough, some might say crazy enough, to take everything and leave their homes to the Holy Land. And that's exactly what several poor Yemenite families did. They walked by foot from Sanaa to Jerusalem, only to find out that the Holy city is actually a dump. Gil Hovav's ancestors were one of these families, and when a few generations later, Yemenite jew Moshe Hovav Married the granddaughter of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, reviver of the Hebrew language - Gil Hovav was the result. Gil grew up amidst a clash of cultures, which took place in a city torn apart by wars and religion. His fascinating childhood is the subject of his autobiographical book, Candies From Heaven, which was just now released in English. Gil is one of Israel's greatest experts in food and food culture. Gil has been a regular guest in every Israeli household for over 20 years. He's a pioneer of the televised cooking shows here in Israel. He's a food journalist and author of many cooking books and some novels as well. Gil joins us for the second time to talk about his amazing childhood in Jerusalem.

A sign of the timing of Yeshua's second coming is the blossoming of the fig tree (Matthew 24:32-33). Israel is likened to a fig tree (Hosea 9:10). This DVD explains the major people, issues and events which shape the modern nation of Israel including the roles of Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann, David Ben-Gurion, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate, the Jewish resistance movements, WWI, WWII, the Holocaust, the 1947 UN Partition Plan, Israel's wars of 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, the creation of the PLO, Oslo, the politics of oil, and the Israel / PLO peace process. The end result of all these things is the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the return of Yeshua to the earth.

Hebrew is a language native to Israel, spoken by over 9 million people worldwide, of which over 5 million are in Israel. Historically, it is regarded as the language of the Israelites and their ancestors, although the language was not referred to by the name Hebrew in the Tanakh. The earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date from the 10th century BCE. Hebrew belongs to the West Semitic branch of the Afro-asiatic language family. Modern Hebrew is one of the 2 official languages of the State of Israel (the other being Modern Standard Arabic), while premodern Hebrew is used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world today. Ancient Hebrew is also the liturgical tongue of the Samaritans, while modern Hebrew or Arabic is their vernacular. As a foreign language, it is studied mostly by Jews and students of Judaism and Israel, and by archaeologists and linguists specializing in the Middle East and its civilizations, as well as by theologians in Christian seminaries. The Hebrew language is the thread that has bound the Jewish people together for millennia, both in liturgy and literature, and, in ancient times, as a spoken language. In the history of modern Zionism, however, if there is 1 event more miraculous than the establishment of the State of Israel, it is the revival of Hebrew as its common tongue. To make this revitalization possible, an uncommon organization was formed: The Academy of the Hebrew Language, the Israeli body with legislated authority to study, guard, and guide the development of the Hebrew language. The miracle of its rejuvenation today is credited to the work of journalist/scholar Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, often called the Father of Modern Hebrew. There were other Hebrew grammarians, scholars, & teachers of general topics. A local scholar of the Hebrew language is our very own Rabbi Michael Harvey who will teach Hebrew at the University of the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas campus.
