- Summary:
- This is the enlightening story of the evolution of Hebrew. "All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"So mused Mark Twain in the nineteenth century. One such "secret" surely resides in the immortal language that the Jewish people kept alive--and that in many senses kept them alive--hroughout their history. This film based on his new book, The Story of Hebrew, Dartmouth College's Lewis Glinert busts the myth that Hebrew was a "dead" language in the centuries between the ancient dispersion and the birth of Israel. Professor Glinert delivers a wide-ranging discussion highlighting the many forms of Hebrew's survival and renewal throughout history.
