Thank you to Guila for sharing with us this fascinating article. Aa a Sabra I can attest that eventually, Hebrew won, but, now the language is no longer pure. The Internet, TV and travel caused to the Englishizing of the Hebrew language. Even Haim Rabin z"l said: "Ain lanu PARTNER lashalom" as if there is no Hebrew word for "partner". In my last visit to Israel several stores and restaurants had English names. The signs appeared ONLY in English. In this article I read that the leadership in the early days before Israel independence insisted on Hebrew names for businesses. It is still a miracle. The leadership efforts to create a sense of peoplehood through the language shows that they were visionaries in the true sense of the word. Amalia
