Ilana It will be on global news very soon :-(. "Jerusalem wrapping wall" <SIGH> According to the legend our mother Rachel is buried there. Bordering Beit Lechem. It will be on the inner side of this new wall and many people will cry against it. More problematic tombs are the ones in Hebron - "the Double Cave" Both Jews and Moslems believe that one of the people that are buried there is father of our nations - Abraham or Ibrahim. > Ilana <<But language stayed the same>> Alberto Monteiro <<Excuse me? AFAIK, Hebrew was a ritualistic language [like Latin], while Jews spoke local languages or [when segregated] dialects, like ladino or yidish. >> Hebrew is spoken in Israel now. I learned at school about "language wars" about hundred years ago and about Eliezer Ben Yehuda who worked hard to build missing words. New words are born almost every day. Some take hold, some not.
