Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hebrew was revitalized during the late 19th and early 20th century as the spoken language of Israel, called New Hebrew and also called <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Hebrew or Modern Hebrew.
Late Biblical Hebrew from the 6th to the 4th century BCE, that corresponds to the Persian Period and is represented by certain texts in the Hebrew Bible, notably the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
This Tiberian Hebrew from the 7th to 10th century CE is sometimes called "Biblical Hebrew" because it is used to pronounce the Hebrew Bible, however properly it should be distinguished from the historical Biblical Hebrew of the 6th century BCE, whose original pronunciation must be reconstructed.

Israel

About 7,500 Israelis live in communities built in the Gaza Strip.
Israel's military consists of a unified Israel Defense Forces (IDF), known in Hebrew by the acronym Tzahal.
UN Security Council Resolution 242 (November 1967), calls for "withdrawal of <bb>>Israelib>bb>> armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" (Six-Day war); and UN Security Council Resolution 446 (March 1979), declared settlements on the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights to be illegal.

Problems in the use of Library of Congress subject headings as the basis for Hebrew subject headings in the Bar-Ilan University Library

Bar-Ilan University's wide-scale project of assigning Hebrew subject headings to its collections of books in Hebrew letters (including Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, etc.) began with the computerization of its Library in 1983.
Other open-stacked university libraries in Israel had already been assigning Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) in English to their works in Hebrew script.
The computerization of the library in that year enabled the department to embark upon a project of assigning Hebrew subject headings to its collection of books and non-printed material in Hebrew letters in order to fulfill that goal.

Commentary Magazine - <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Culture and the Jews

...In his view, moreover, it was crucial that the cultural center be a Hebrew one, for he was convinced that no people could produce an authentic culture, one that was not ultimately apologetic or slavishly imitative, in a borrowed language, and Hebrew was for him the only truly indigenous Jewish language...
...To be sure, very little of this Hebrew cultural activity has the explicit ethical thrust that Ahad Ha-am envisaged-were he alive today, he would undoubtedly fulminate, for example, against the "nihilism," "indecency," and "sterile aestheticism" of contemporary Hebrew literature, as, indeed, some of his spiritual heirs have done...
...If the Israelis-in contradiction to the contention of Georges Friedmann and others-persist, with very few exceptions, in regarding themselves as Jews, it is obvious that the Jews of the Diaspora are very far from being culturally Israelis...

Section 3.

For example, in his posthumously published History of the Hebrew Language, E.Y. Kutscher wrote that 'the day the Bible will have to be translated into <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Hebrew will mark the end of the special attitude of the <bb>>Israelib>bb>> toward the Bible' (1982: 298).
Clearly the structure of the Hebrew language had undergone some sort of modification, and the non-native speakers of colloquial Modern Hebrew (as distinct, in exactly this way, from the speakers and the language of <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Hebrew), by shifting to this structure, contributed material from their own native languages and linguistic competence to this transformation.
The first quotidian speakers of Hebrew literally gave birth to the most vital extra-structural change that was incurred by the shift to Hebrew, native competence.

Yosef Oren - An Unconventional Attitude Toward <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Literature

Their writing is part of the literature of the nation to which each of them belongs, despite the fact that their works are written in the Hebrew language and that some of them have an amazing mastery of the language which, at times, surpasses that of Jewish authors in Israel and abroad.
A secular Jew does not peruse religious literature so as not to create an unenlightened self-perception, and a religious Jew does not peruse Modern Hebrew literature so as not to be suspected by those around him as a heretic or as one with tendencies beyond the confines of religion.
The history of Hebrew literature recounts the continuous effort of the generations to maintain the borders of this internal expanse in the face of the penetration of values (2.3) and visions (2.4) foreign to those values and visions to which the national literature decided to devote itself long ago.

At the Cutting Edge of Jewish Studies; The Most Recent Developments in the Field

Hebrew literature since 1948, when the State of Israel was born, is <bb>>Israelib>bb>> literature, and every stage in <bb>>Israelib>bb>> history- especially the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982 the Intifada from 1987 onward, the Gulf war of 1991, and the peace process - is marked by a fairly distinct body of literature.
It is interesting that the greatest Hebrew writers in the empire of the Tsars, Mendele and Bialik, represented an artistic dead end for most later Hebrew writers, precisely because they depicted faithfully the rich world of traditional east European Jews, and Zionism sought a new life detached from the old.
Hebrew was witness and participant in this momentous change and the demographic shift of nearly two million east European Jews, mostly to America, between 1881 and 1914.

Hebrew language - encyclopedia article about Hebrew language.

While the term "Hebrew" as a nationality is customarily used to refer to the ancient Israelites, the classical Hebrew language was extremely similar to the Canaanite languages spoken by their neighbors, such as Phoenician; indeed, Moabite and Hebrew are often considered to be two dialects of the same language.

The most famous work originally written in Hebrew is the Hebrew Bible, though the time at which it was written is a matter of dispute (see dating the Bible for details).

Study of the Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Academy of the Hebrew Language (האקדמיה ללשון העברית) in modern Israel is the "Supreme Foundation for the Science of the Hebrew Language" founded by the <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Government in 1953.
Since Hebrew is the original language of the Hebrew Bible (known as the Torah and Tanakh), it is therefore a language that has always been central to Judaism and valued by the Jewish people for over three thousand years, (and later by Christian scholars as well).
The first major non-Jewish grammarian was John Reuchlin (16th century), but it was not until the early 19th century that Hebrew linguistics was studied on a secular, scientific level.

Hebrew phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although modern <bb>>Israelib>bb>> Hebrew pronunciation doesn't differentiate between the two, the latter is pronounced by some speakers like an Arabic /q/.
Hebrew phonology must take into account that the Hebrew language has been used primarily for liturgical purposes for most of the past two millennia.
Currently, the only community of Hebrew-speakers which expresses this in speech are Yemenite Jews, whose Hebrew is much-influenced by Arabic phonetics (or rather not influenced by Yiddish and other European languages); however the emphasis led to several types of phonetic change that still exist.

Hebrew was the common everyday language of the Israelite masses from the time they conquered the land of Canaan until the end of the First Commonwealth with the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
Hebrew is rich in history, and rich in heritage to Abrahamic religions alike, and some of us felt that the previous Hebrew article focused too much on only the Modern <bb>>Israelib>bb>> dialect, and was too uncomfortably monolithic to edit to reflect the greater variety of Hebrew that exists and has existed."...
Hebrew is a uniquely defined language that has survived in all its fullness, whereas nothing or very little is known about Canaanites and their languages barring what the Torah (Bible) records.
