Savannah Jewish Federation invites you to explore how Hebrew evolved, adapted and reinvented itself over thousands of years.
Hebrew isn’t just a language - it’s a time capsule of Jewish history, culture, and humor.
Join us as we welcome Elon Gilad for a fun and thought-provoking talk following the journey of Hebrew words from the Bible to modern Israel. Learn how ancient terms were repurposed, how Israeli slang was born, and why a popsicle is called an artik. Elon explores the global influences that shaped Hebrew - from Persian to Yiddish - and the quirky, powerful stories hiding in everyday words.
This program is free of charge and babysitting is provided. Prior registration required.
