OTD: Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the father of the modern Hebrew language, was born on 7 January 1858. Growing up in Eastern Europe, Ben Yehuda was a passionate student of the biblical Hebrew texts, having read the Torah, Mishna, and Talmud by the early age of 12. Throughout his career, Ben Yehuda would spearhead the enlightenment of the Hebrew language, reviving it in the modern era. As an early member of the Zionist movement, he would also campaign to establish Hebrew as the offic...ial language of the future State of Israel. In Israel, his birthday is commemorated as Hebrew Language day, which falls each year on the 21st of Tevet in the Hebrew calendar. This year, Hebrew Language Day took place on January 4th. Happy birthday Eliezer Ben Yehuda!

We will remember.
