How did the Zionists bring the Hebrew language back to life?
The Zionists brought Hebrew back to life by demanding that people learn and speak it when they anticipated returning to Palestine to establish a Jewish homeland. The language had been dead for hundreds of years, but this requirement revived it, so today Israeli billboards and highway signs appear in Hebrew and English.
Les explains that the Hebrew language was dead, and even the Jews did not speak it for hundreds and hundreds of years. When some Zionists first anticipated going back to what is called the land of Palestine and making it a Jewish homeland, they demanded that people again learn and speak Hebrew. As a result, today in Israel all billboards and highway signs are in Hebrew and English. Les calls this another miracle, part of the miraculous preservation of the Jewish nation, which he points to as proof that the Bible is the Word of God.
