For 1700 years, #Hebrew was not spoken, until Eliezer Ben-Yehuda decided to revive it in the late 19th century and make it a pillar for the establishment of the State of #Israel. Today, we celebrate the birth of Ben-Yehuda and his legacy. #HebrewLanguageDay

Hebrew was spoken in Safed in the 17th century, by Yemenite Jews throughout history and more. When Jews from disparate backgrounds would meet they would invariably converse in a common Hebrew tongue.
