SUMMARY:U-M Frankel Center Event: When Hebrew Met the Machine
DESCRIPTION:A Book Talk with Ido Ramati  \nTuesday\, February 10 from 5:00 – 6:30 PM \nRoom 2022\, South Thayer Building \nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/W6Ard \nSpecial Guest: Ido Ramati (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)\, Moderator: Shachar Pinsker \nWhat happens when an ancient language meets modern technology? This lecture will discuss the role played by media technologies—such as the phonograph\, typewriters\, the telegraph\, and computers—in the revitalization and modernization of Hebrew since the end of the nineteenth century. After lying dormant for two millennia as a mainly written language\, Hebrew awoke from its literary slumber and became a living modern vernacular. The revitalization of Hebrew is unique and unprecedented in world history\, and it has been studied in various fields; but the role of modern media technologies in mediating this revival has not yet been considered. This lecture will delve into questions such as: what was the role of sound recording technologies in shaping the reemerging modern Hebrew speech? And how did the Hebraized typewrite pushed for the modernization of writing in Hebrew?. It will show how these media\, whose emergence ran in historical parallel to the revitalization of Hebrew\, were an active force in shaping the language as a modern communicative medium. Hebrew was a historical media lab: written from right to left and in unique script\, it posed technical as well as conceptual challenges to media which were originally designed for Latin script and Western writing systems. The adaptation of these technologies to Hebrew required various adaptations that shaped lingual mechanisms\, which had social and political ramifications on the emerging Hebrew culture.

We will use the book _Prayer Book Hebrew\, The Easy Way._ \nBeginning Conversation 7:15-8:00pm\nThis class offers a taste of modern Hebrew for Communication. Reading Hebrew\nis a plus but not a requirement. We will jump right into Hebrew and learn to\nintroduce ourselves\, ask questions\, describe things like our families\, our\njobs\, and other common topics.

Come dip your toes in this Modern-ancient language and roll some\nHebrew off your tongue! \nAdvanced Conversation 8:15-9:00pm.\nAdvanced Conversation: If you can carry on a conversation in Hebrew on various\ntopics\, this class is for you. Come join a relaxed and welcoming hour of\nHebrew only.
