“The Hebrew language will go from the synagogue to the house of study, and from the house of study to the school, and from the school it will come into the home and... become a living language.”
— Eliezer Ben-Yehuda (1858–1922), the driving force behind the revival of Hebrew as a modern spoken language and a cornerstone of Jewish national identity.
