Speak Hebrew – love Israel? will share some of my Hebrew students’ stories and motivations for learning modern Hebrew, and their feelings towards the Israeli state. We will question – * Can we learn Hebrew in a non-political setting, as just a language?? * What part does love towards Israel/the Jewish people play in my student’s will to learn Hebrew? * And if so – have they also been brainwashed about Israel? just as I was when I was young? * Why would anyone want to learn IVRIT, my language, a beautiful language, and yet, as some see it – the language of the oppressor?
