Semitic language native to Israel Hebrew (, Ivrit(helpinfo), IPA:[ivit] or [ivit]) is a Northwest Semitic language of the Afroasiatic language family. Historically, it is regarded as the language of the Israelites, Judeans and their ancestors. It is the only Canaanite language still spoken and the only truly successful example of a revived dead language, and one of only two Northwest Semitic languages still spoken, the other being Aramaic.[11][12] The language was not referred to by the name Hebrew in the Hebrew Bible, but as Yehudit ("the language of Judah") or spa Kna'an ("the language of Canaan").[2][note 1] Mishnah Gitin 9:8 refers to the language as Ivrit meaning Hebrew; however, Mishnah Megillah refers to the Hebrew language as Ashurit, meaning Assyrian, which is derived from the name of the alphabet used, in contrast to Ivrit meaning the paleo-Hebrew alphabet.[13] The earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date to the 10th century BCE.[14] Hebrew ceased to be an everyday spoken language sometime between 200 and 400 CE, declining in the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt.[2][15][note 2] Aramaic and, to a lesser extent, Greek were already in use as international languages, especially among elites and immigrants.[17] Hebrew survived into the medieval period as the language of Jewish liturgy, rabbinic literature, intra-Jewish commerce and poetry

Semitic-speaking Israelites, especially in the pre-monarchic period The terms Hebrews (Hebrew: / , Modern: Ivrim / Ivriyyim, Tiberian: Irm / Iriyym; ISO 259-3: ibrim / ibriyim) and Hebrew people are mostly taken as synonymous with the Semitic-speaking Israelites, especially in the pre-monarchic period when they were still nomadic. However, in some instances it may also be used in a wider sense, referring to the Phoenicians, or to other ancient groups, such as the group known as Shasu of Yhw on the eve of the Bronze Age collapse,[1] which, although not an ethnonym,[2][3] appears 34 times within 32 verses[4][5][6] of the Hebrew Bible. By the time of the Roman Empire, Greek Hebraios could refer to the Jews in general, as Strong's Hebrew Dictionary puts it, "any of the Jewish Nation",[7] and at other times more specifically to the Jews living in Judea

(JTA) I was riding my bike last week when I passed a convoy of honking cars sporting Israeli flags and balloons in various shades of blue and white and immediately felt a wave of clashing emotions. I felt the pang of recognition I feel whenever I see the flag that dotted the walls of my Jewish day school.
