The Vitality of the Hebrew Language What are the secrets of its survival? This article is excerpted from William Chomsky's magnum opus Hebrew: The Eternal Language, first published in 1957. Reprinted with permission from the Jewish Publication Society. How we can use Hebrew today. Teaching Hebrew to our students.

Yes we can use Hebrew! Reminds me of the Dali Lama meeting with the Rabbis and asking how did Judaism survive while in exile for 2000. One answer is Hebrew. I think Hebrew plays a big role in our continuity. It's a language we can all use for prayer and now as the every day language in Israel. I want my own children to know Hebrew so they can pray in Hebrew and read seferim, chant Torah/Haftarah, and study gemara. They have a ways to go but have to put it out there and I also realize it has to come directly from them too. Thanks for the good reference and link.
