Lashon Rishon 9th Annual Conference on the Hebrew Language- honouring the Hebrew language
24.2-28.2.2016
Hebrew – is the language of the Bible, but also the very much alive, language of poetry, art, comedy and endlessly inventive slang. These diverse aspects of Hebrew were the focus of Lashon Rishon – the 9th Annual Conference on the Hebrew Language at the Center for the Performing Arts in Rishon LeZion.
It was very much a conference of the living language – as it is spoken, written and expressed by Performing artists such as Shlomo Gronich, Mati Kaspi, Shlomi Shaban, and thers as well researchers, journalists, authors and poets and even dancers.
The sessions were witty, humorous, enriching, touching and and above all lively.
Who would believe that not so long ago Hebrew was considered a "dead" language? שלומי שבן | shlomi shaban Shlomo Gronich - שלמה גרוניך
