168th Anniversary of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the father of modern Hebrew

Hi Everyone!

Today, we celebrate the 168th Anniversary of Eliezer Ben Yehuda,
the father of modern Hebrew.
Israel celebrates "Hebrew Language Day" on the 21st of Tevet
which is the Hebrew date of birth of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda.
This year the date falls on Shabbat, so we celebrate on Thursday.
The purpose of this day is to promote the Hebrew language
in Israel and around the world.
