Ben-Zion's father insisted that his son speak only Hebrew, considered by some as the language of angels. But in the 1880s, the Jewish people who lived in Jerusalem spoke Yiddish or the languages of the places where they grew up. Hebrew hadn't been in everyday use for more than two thousand years, and adults said it could never be revived. 520 "This is the story of how one man and his son brought Hebrew back into common use. It's a story about how language changes and grows. And it's a story about how one person can make a difference"--Dust jacket. 520 Describes the efforts of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda to revive Hebrew as a spoken language, discussing how he and his son, Ben-Zion, created new Hebrew words for modern ideas and objects. 521 8 690L|bLexile 526 0 Accelerated Reader AR|bLG|c4.1|d0.5|z187657 526 0 Accelerated Reader|bLG|c4.1|d0.5|z187657 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Ben-Yehuda, Eliezer,|d1858-1922|vJuvenile literature. 600 11 Ben-Yehuda, Eliezer,|d1858-1922. 600 17 Ben-Yehuda, Eliezer,|d1858-1922.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00019707 650 0 Hebrew language|xRevival|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Hebrew language|xRevival. 650 7 Hebrew language|xRevival.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00954289 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Juvenile works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411637 700 1 Gudeon, Karla,|eillustrator. 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aMichelson, Richard.|tLanguage of angels|dWatertown, MA : Charlesbridge, [2017]|z9781580896368|w(DLC) 2015026836 |w(OCoLC)913712184 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0020304743|zFound on Boundless
