My 19 year old little brother is volunteering as an EMT in Israel right now (for magen david adom) and he called me earlier today ...
He had to help move a 102 year old woman from Hadassah Hospital to her home. She is Eliezer Ben Yehudah's daughter. fucking daughter. her father INVENTED modern hebrew. His granddaughter was at their home -- she showed my brother the original Eliezer Ben Yehudah dictionary. his daughter talked to my brother in hebrew. in the language her father fucking invented. i can't stop swearing. but this is so cool
i am so amazed by this story... it's awesome. just wanted to share.
