📚Today, the 21st of Tevet, was designated as *Hebrew Language Day.* On this date, Eliezer Ben Yehuda was born - who was awarded the title of "reviver of the Hebrew language." Ben Yehuda renewed words such as ice cream, iron, airplane, bicycle, restaurant, and more, and is considered the initiator of the revival of the Hebrew language, after it had not been spoken for over 1,500 years previously!
🎯On this day, the status of Hebrew is strengthened in Israel and around the world. As part of the ambition to raise the profile of the Hebrew language, enrichment activities are conducted in the education system, the IDF, and other institutions, and various initiatives related to this day can also be found throughout the Internet and in the media.
🏛️The Hebrew Language Academy also offers interactive content and activities such as choosing the word of the year, quizzes, experiential tours, and more.
