About Hebrew (Modern)

Modern Hebrew is an official language of Israel and is different to older forms of Hebrew - often called Biblical Hebrew - which are used in Jewish religious texts and prayers. Spoken Hebrew died out as an everyday language for more than 1,500 years but was revived in the 19th century. After Israel, the United States has the second largest Hebrew speaking population.
