Written by the core faculty of the Hebrew Program at Brandeis University, Brandeis Modern Hebrew is an accessible introduction to the Hebrew language especially geared to undergraduates and high school students. Its functional and contextual elements are designed to bring students from the beginner level to the intermediate level, and to lay the ground work for progressing to the advanced level by introducing the past and future tenses and literary texts to read. This pilot edition reflects some of the main principles that have shaped the Brandeis Hebrew curriculum during the past decade. in all four skills areas: speaking, listening, reading, and writing; contextualizing each unit within a specific subject or theme; exposing the student to authentic and semi-authentic materials (texts written by native speakers); exploring different elements from Israeli and Jewish culture in the language drills, and reading passages from the Hebrew literary canon. The text in this edition comprises a short introduction for the instructor, eleven units, supplementary Hebrew proficiency guidelines, and a vocabulary list. Two CDs are forthcoming. One is an audio CD of some of the exercises in the book. The second CD is an enrichment program linked to the text.
Essays include teaching at the university level, sociolinguistics, verbal morphology, teaching poetry, teaching grammar, and more.
Historical Continuity in the Emergence of Modern Hebrew offers a new perspective on the emergence processes of Modern Hebrew and its relationship to earlier forms of Hebrew. Based on a textual examination of select case studies of language use throughout the modernization of Hebrew, this book shows that due to the unconventional sociolinguistic circumstances in the budding speech community, linguistic processes did not necessarily evolve in a linear manner, blurring the distinction between true and apparent historical continuity. The emergent language’s standardization involved the restructuring of linguistic habits that had initially taken root among the first speakers, often leading to a retreat from early contact-induced or non-classical phenomena. Yael Reshef demonstrates that as a result, superficial similarity to earlier forms of Hebrew did not necessarily stem from continuity, and deviation from canonical Hebrew features does not necessarily stem from change.
Ben-Yehuda’s vision of a modern Hebrew eventually came to animate a large part of the Jewish world, and gave new confidence and pride to Jewish youth during the most difficult period of modern history, infusing Zionism with a dynamic cultural content. This book examines the many changes that occurred in the transition to Modern Hebrew, acquainting new students of the language with its role as a model for other national revivals, and explaining how it overcame many obstacles to become a spoken vernacular. The author deals primarily with the social and political use of the language and does not cover literature. Also discussed are the dilemmas facing the language arising from the fact that Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora “don’t speak the same language,” while Israeli Arabs and Jews often do.
This is a collection of modern Hebrew poetry. Each poem is presented in the original Hebrew together with an English phonetic description and a prose commentary.
A study of the history of Jewish exiles and genocide, and the literary expressions that attempt to make sense of these catastrophes. In this book Alan Mintz devotes a chapter each to selected catastrophic events and the literary response to them: for example, the destruction of the First Temple in 587 B.B.E. and the resulting biblical literature; the massacre of the Rhineland Jewish community by the Crusades in 1096 and synagogue poetry; and the pogroms in Russia and modern Hebrew poetry. These earlier responses are then compared to the treatment of the Holocaust in the Hebrew literature of the State of Israel with special attention given to the works of Uri Zvi Greenberg and Aharon Appelfeld. Deeply felt and highly original, Hurban is a revealing study of an exceptionally rich literature in the context of an unavoidably tragic history.
