The Hebrew Spectrum of Law and Justice and the Language Aspect at its Core

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a Douglas Murray event in Tel Aviv. It was a talk dedicated to the newly published Hebrew edition of his new book ‘The War on the West’ and how it all relates to Israel and everything that has been unfolding in the world since October 7th. As […]

Degenderizing Hebrew Cover

The Israeli Left’s attempts to degenderize Hebrew and why it’s working

Hebrew is a highly gendered language. Hebrew grammar is not only more gendered than that of English and Chinese which barely have any gender elements in their grammar, but it is also arguably more gendered than the grammar of Latin languages such as Spanish, Italian, and French. In recent years we are witnessing a post-modern

Sa Le’at (Drive Slow) by Arik Einstein (1974) – The most Israeli song ever?

The song סַע לְאַט (sa le’at – go slow or drive slowly) by Arik Einstein came out in 1974, in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War. Not only is this song beautiful and melodic, but it is also considered by many (me included) to perhaps be the song that best captures the essence of

Fabulous Fabrics – The Middle East Conflict through the prism of flags

As primitive means for long distance communication, flags are one of the cruder forms of language if not the crudest. The purpose of a flag is simple – conveying information visually.

The Little Princess – Royal Virtue Signaling from Steimatzky Publishing

Steimatzky (סְטִימָצְקִי in Hebrew) is the oldest and largest bookstore chain in Israel. The Chain was officially founded in 1925 by Tzvi Steimatzky and his half-brother Yechezkel Steimatzky five years after Tzvi Steimatzky had opened the first bookstore in Tel Aviv in 1920.

Wonder Woman 1984 is a refreshingly conservative movie – Not a review

The other day I finally caught Wonder Woman 1984 on TV. I must say it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, but still it wasn’t very good. The writing was bad, the directing was bad, the effects were mediocre at best, and so was most of the acting (sorry Gal Gadot…). I

What’s between Hebrew and Intelligence

Intelligence in Hebrew The Hebrew word for intelligence is בִּינָה (bina). It comes from the shoresh ב-י-ן (Bet-Yod-Nun), which also forms the preposition בֵּין (bein) – meaning between. This is not a coincidence. Among other words that employ this shoresh we may find the verb הֵבִין (hevin) which means to understand, the adjective נָבוֹן (navon)
