Who decides the issues of Hebrew and how does it relate to us?
What was done in Hebrew a thousand years ago and how does it affect us today?
Who were the pioneers of Hebrew and how did the children help them?
What do the objects from the house of Eliezer Ben‑Yehuda tell us?
Together we will discover what Hebrew meant to its speakers and readers in the past and what it means for us now, get to know special linguistic phenomena (not only in Hebrew!) and find out what they reveal about the language and about ourselves.
