An interesting video on the Hebrew language

[NiceBlue]

I found this very uplifting and hopeful. For thousands of years Jews have been prosecuted and discriminated against but they still exist. Not only that Judaism is the foundation of the two largest religions in the world, more than 51% of religious believers, Christianism and Islam. This video is about the reestablishing of Hebrew as an everyday language.

Hebrew was stopped being used as an everyday language from sometime in the Roman Empire to the 20th century. It was only used for religious purposes. There was no word for ice cream for example. In the late 19th century, a man added everyday words to it and encouraged it to be used in school. Thus, reestablishing it as an everyday language. Watch the video and decide the truth for yourself.
