Author Amos Oz and poet Yehu-
da Amichai are, in a sense,
Israel's most successful ambas-
sadors: What they have to say
about the country is translated,
respectively, into 24 and 22 lan-
guages and permeates the hearts
and minds of people worldwide.
Through the work of such writ-
ers as Mr. Oz and Mr. Amichai
and several others, millions of
readers get involved in the cul-
ture of a tiny country in the Mid-
dle East. A country, moreover,
whose people — a mere 4 million
— Hebrew speakers happen to
write in an obscure tongue that
hardly anyone outside Israel un-
derstands.
Hebrew is now experiencing a
period of such an upsurge in po-
etry, prose and playwriting that
it can only be compared to some-
thing like the renaissance of the
English language during the Eliz-
abethan period. This vitality is
all the more remarkable when
one considers that only a centu-
ry ago, the Hebrew language it-
self— the instrument and vehicle
for all this creativity today — was
itself considered dead.
Many people consider the re-
vival of Hebrew as a spoken lan-
guage after an interval of 1,700
years a miraculous process, for
linguistic development general-
ly moves in the opposite direction:
over time, a language that was
first used only for speech devel-
ops into a literary language. It is
hard to think of another instance
of a literary language moving into
a spoken one.
Although Hebrew had been
used continually by Jews since
biblical times over a period of
3,000 years, by the late 19th cen-
tury it was mainly the language
of study and prayer. Used for re-
ligious and ritual purposes, it had
long ceased to be spoken, having
been replaced either by the lan-
guages to the countries of the Di-
aspora in which the Jews found
themselves, or by composite Jew-
ish languages such as Ladino or
Yiddish.
During the period of the Jew-
ish Enlightenment, the Haskalla
(1781 - 1881), a century preceding
the start of the revival of the He-
brew language, when Yiddish
was still the lingua franca of
Eastern European Jewry, He-
brew was adopted as a means of
creating the new enlightened
Jewish culture.
Despite the Enlightenment,
and despite the fact that all along
Hebrew continued to be the lan-
guage of family observances and
communal festivities, of legal and
commercial documents, of his-
torical chronicles, municipal
