Create the Great Book with our AIHistory register · custodian, not owner
Father of modern Hebrew. A Lithuanian linguist who emigrated to Jerusalem, he devoted his life to the rebirth of Hebrew as a spoken language. His monumental dictionary (17 volumes) and his struggle for Hebrew in schools turned this dead language into a living national tongue.
