Abstract:
The Hebrew language serves both as a unique expression of the Jewish heritage and a key instrument of the survival of the Jewish people. The mystique of Hebrew lies in its uniformity and constancy despite being spoken by Jews throughout the world and its multifaceted character—its use in the synagogue, the home, the arts, business, and in everyday life.
