for all the hubbub about 🇮🇱 they’ve done one thing which i find amazing: revive Hebrew from a biblical dead language to a modern national spoken tongue

@lain and that they’re not picky about which Jews were eligible for the project, whether it be slipping Russian Jews out of the USSR or airlifting Ethiopian Jews out of a conflict zone

@bartholin @cell I think that was always the case, correct me if I'm wrong.
Before hebrew got revitalized it was the liturgical language of judaism, most jews knew how to read hebrew and probably nothing else.
