In this episode of Sababoosh, we’re diving into the fascinating, quirky, and sometimes surprising world of the Hebrew language — from ancient roots to modern slang. Our guest, Elon Gilad, is a journalist, author, and language enthusiast whose work explores how Hebrew evolved , adapted, and reinvented itself over thousands of years. We’ll talk about the revival of Hebrew, the forces that shaped it into the language spoken in Israel today, and the influences that keep it alive and ever-changing. Whether you’re a native speaker, a learner, or just curious about how language reflects culture, this conversation will give you a deeper appreciation for Hebrew and maybe even teach you a few new words you’ll want to try out.
