I think she means that it was resurrected for daily life and on the street. Yes its use was uninterrupted for religious prayer only but if you compare religious Hebrew to modern everyday "street" Hebrew you'll find that it's fairly archaic in its sound and structure.
I still don't speak Hebrew (although I'm starting to learn it) but as a kid that grew up in a somewhat secular family I learned the "Shema Yisrael" prayer. And it has been the same for millions of people that lived in a World in which no one spoke Hebrew in the everyday life.

@@LiranBarsisa I started with Biblical. I have a book called Biblical Hebrew by Page H. Kelley (I'm starting chapter 13 tomorrow) and I watch Bill Barrick on YT to help with pronunciation 😊❤️
@@mandybate6645 That's unbelievable! How do you do this? Seems very hard... I wonder if you could speak it to a modern-Hebrew speaker. Could be funny :) Good luck!
Hebrew has never been dead. Although it was not always used in daily conversation, educated Jews would study the language for cultural and religious purposes. (There were also several Gentiles who learned Hebrew for cultural enrichment. ) The language was used for reading and writing. Religious Jewish People utilized Hebrew for prayer and learning the Torah, which was written in Hebrew. For example, even before Hebrew became a modern language, it was customary, in some traditional families, to converse in Hebrew at home on the Sabbath and holidays. Personally, I welcome the revival of Hebrew as a vibrant modern language. It is a fascinating phenomenon. It is a unique language which is worth learning.
@@ChanahsCreativeEdits Is the Greek language which is spoken today the same as the ancient one? What about modern words? Do they have Greek words for them or they simply use the English words for it?
As regards, Modern Hebrew, it functions efficiently on all levels. Books are published in it on all subjects. In addition, it is the official language of Israel. (As for loan words, all languages borrow words. For instance, scientific vocabulary in English often comes from Greek and Latin.) Great scholars have appreciated Hebrew: John Stewart Mill, Goethe, Reuchlin, John Jay, Jefferson, Herder and other prominent writers and philosophers. Hebrew is not a simple language.
@@ralphwhitman2554 I know that in the Hebrew languages there are about 4,000 words which were taken from the Greece language. Today many word are taken from English.
Thanks brother! We love India as well! A magical and ancient civilization, source of incredible wisdom. It's an honor to have you as friends and as allies.
I learned some Biblical Hebrew a decade ago, and just end of last year I started to learn to speak modern Hebrew until now, it's such a joy to be able to speak this ancient language, its revival is a testimony of a dream of a people who desired to return home, it also mirrors a dream of mine to return to the land where my faith started.
That and Greek and Latin and Aramaic.... But yeah Hebrew is one of them. Hebrew and Aramaic were spoken languages. The common language of scholars i.e. anything written down was an ancient form of Greek (Koine Greek) until the Roman empire. Then everything was recorded in Latin. No one was dictating speeches at the time. People were repeating stories and legends over and over and when they were deemed valuable they wrote them down in the language that everyone That could read in write in could read. Mostly Greek. Then Latin. But there are definitely some Hebrew texts. Everything was eventually recorded in hebrew during the diaspora
Pretty sure it was spoken as a liturgical language so the pronunciation carried over, like how we know what Latin sounds like because it has been used in churches

@@inquisa while some words were borrowed from Arabic, many words were constructed by expanding on what Hebrew already had. Of course there are similarities because the two come from a common language and originate from areas close to one another.
First man Adam spoke in holy language Hebrew. He placed his hand in a stream, lifted hand up and said: Ma? Mayim! Later generations Teutonic man placed hand in stream and said: Vass? Vasser! Later generations Latin man placed hand in stream and said: What? Water! Etc. Quoi? Aqua! Adam means man in Hebrew. In Hebrew: D in Adam stands for Hebrew word Dam=blood. M in Adam stands for Hebrew word Mayim=water. A in Adam stands for Hebrew word afer or affar meaning dust. Thus is man comprised of blood, water, dust. Thus is Hebrew a holy language. A=Aleph (א), D=Daled (ד), M=Mem (מ)

Cornish and Manx in the U.K. were also two languages that were more or less extinct that were revived. They aren't languages with lots of speakers, but today they have fluent L2 speakers (also L1 speakers in Max given that Manx children have been going to immersion schools). So along with modern Hebrew that makes 3 post-mortem revived languages that I'm aware of. However...since Hebrew was a paschal language, could we not say that it was more or less the 2nd language of the Jewish diaspora, and that it never really fully died--merely a new standard dachsprache was created for a very living 2nd language? You could also say that Latin itself really isn't dead, as there are still fluent L2 speakers (especially in the Vatican).
Im an Indian, very inspiring story for indians to get back to sanskrit. But felling sad that some people thinks that its language for illiterate. But I think someday we will revive it and set as an official language, israleli are really gread that they gave rebirth to the dead language.
She said the LAND of Israel. Not the State of Israel. Jews always referred to it as Eretz Yisrael because that’s the name as depicted in the Torah. Even if the official state (which at the time was the Ottoman Empire) didn’t use that name.
I believe that the one advantage Hebrew had was that it was written and still used for religious purposes for many centuries, so there was a corpus on which the language could be revitalized. It wasn't ever completely dead. The concern for many of the world's disappearing languages is that they aren't documented
It was dead. Look, there are many people who know and use Latin and Sanskrit in their fields, such as Medicine, Religion etc. but they are still considered as dead. So, if a language is not used in a community as a means of daily communication, it's dead
@@raufrzayev9994 but then you'll have to define how much use in daily conversation is considered alive, because Hebrew phrases, words, and even sentences, were constantly used in daily conversation. So what defines being dead? Unchanging grammar?
Samskrta needs to be revived too! Here in Bharat, our regional identification has overtaken national identification. Our fights even today are Hindi vs Tamil, Kannada vs Telugu, Marathi vs Tamil. We are free to speak our local language, but it is wise to choose a common language like Samskrta as a binding language across the country.
It was never “dead”. It shifted to sacred usage and with Rabbis corresponding in it, but there were speakers in every language. What happened was it moved back into the secular sphere.
I think what she means is it was the common language of anybody. Just as Latin is often learned by attorneys but isn’t actually spoken to communicate in society.

Hebrew is the Language of Abraham & the Language of Angelic beings. when I pray in Hebrew with my prayer shawl & sing in Hebrew, my prayers 🙏 is answered quickly! than using many languages I known, tried it . But Hebrew is very effective!
Your opinion on what makes a dead language is laughable. A language does not need to be used for everyday communication to still be considered a living language. Hebrew was studied and taught during those two millennia of Roman exile. The Jews never forgot their language and never stopped using their language.
As far as I know from my research that when the Jews of Yemen immigrated to modern day Israel mostly between 1949 and 1951 that the vast majority of Yemenite Jewish men were both literate and capable of carrying conversations in classical Hebrew. The only thing was they had to learn the vocabulary for modern objects and subjects in modern Hebrew.
I'm sorry, but Hebrew was NEVER a dead language. It was widely used for speech, literature, etc. Maimonedes and Ha Levi used Hebrew extensively for writing books, poems, essays, newspapers, etc. Ben Yehuda simply modernised the language. That was it. A people doesnt lose its language by losing its independence.
Hebrew was a dead language because it usage was restricted as liturgical language of Jewish religion as well as literary language for certain Jewish literature and philosophical works for nearly 2000 years. Even as the time of Jesus, certain forms of vernacular Hebrew were by certain pockets of Jews within their own communities. When communication with outside of their own communities, they reverted to the more common Aramaic. The last vestiges of vernacular Hebrew died out by the 2nd or 3rd Centuries CE when it got fully supplanted by Aramaic. When Hebrew got revived as a vernacular, it was an archaic language lacking modern terms. Ben Yehuda created new words from archaic terms as well as giving modern meanings to them. The most practical approach was to adopt loanwords from existing Semitic family of languages especially from Arabic and Aramaic. For Hebrew pronunciation, he selected Sephardic pronunciation. However, at the time of the revival, Yemenite Hebrew was said to have the closest pronunciation to original vernacular Hebrew and it was hardly known. The strongest influence from European language was Yiddish which was the predominant language of European Jews. Many Yiddish terms were incorporated into Modern Hebrew.
Probably when Israel was founded in 1948 they enacted strict laws to inspire people learning it. It must've been also a good option for all the Jews coming from everywhere around the world, to have a common language and with it, a common identity. Truly a success.

Dear I24news, This is an extreme oversimplification that portrays the "revival" of Hebrew as an individual effort. This is plainly false: For one, Ahad Ha'am and many others published Hebrew newspapers before Eliezer Perlman. Then there where the countless Hebrew authors, and the 1949 refferendum that made Hebrew official.
