Text and the City: Learning Hebrew in the Street
Hosted By: Schusterman Center for Israel Studies Brandeis University
Through texts found in their natural habitat, in the streets of Tel Aviv, we’ll decipher textual graffiti, lost pet ads, and stickers. We’ll talk about the influence of other languages on Modern Hebrew and celebrate the different cultural and linguistic layers of Israeli society. We’ll also talk about gender and inclusive language. Cohosted by the Consulate General of Israel to New England and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University.
