Brandeis University scholars argue for the importance of teaching and learning Modern Hebrew for “communal reconnection and participation around the world.”

Vardit Ringvald’s essay, "Why Jews Need a Common Language: A Plan for Universal Hebrew Literacy" in "Jewish Priorities: Sixty-Five Proposals for the Future of Our People" makes the claim that modern Hebrew is today a crucial Jewish value, a powerful tool for strengthening Jewish identity, and a window into an entire Jewish world of life, creativity and culture. It is also a statement about the ideal pedagogical venues and the philosophical frames that can support the teaching and learning of the language and its cultures.
