Prof. Ghil’ad Zuckermann, a professor of linguistics at the University of Adelaide in Australia, and Dr. Gitit Holzmann, a lecturer in Jewish philosophy at the Levinsky Teachers’ College in Tel Aviv, discuss the linguistic, educational, and political implications and limitations of the crown jewel of the Zionist enterprise: The revival of the Hebrew language.

Ghil’ad Zuckermann, is confusing the modern concept of Hebrew and the fact that Hebrew has been kept alive for over 3,500 years in one form or another. I understand his view but he is mistaken. He does hit it DEAD ON THE NAIL, when he says people misunderstand the ‘Bible’, this is largely due to the Chassid and now Haredi influence. But then they don’t know about the Key to the Torah – the Book of Concealment. If they knew about the image set within the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Torah there would be a lot of changes!!! (And yes, Ghil’ad, I have the image set entirely mapped… the Book of Concealment in the Zohar tells a REAL story. But they didn’t see all we can because we have computers. P.S. the “Bible” and the Torah, is IMPORTANT. There is something not seen for over 3000 years of its history in that text. And that is proven by a specific couple of matters that come to light when you find the way to map the image set. I have been working with this for 19 years now. I found it in 1997, but NOT ONE person has even tried to disprove my proofs, except by arguing that there ‘is no such thing’… but there is.) I love your program. I am never left un-amazed at the content of your interviews! Thank you for your wonderful program.
