'Ahava' meaning 'love'
Hebrew is an ancient and unique language. Having survived centuries of history, it was finally revived as a modern
language over; 150 years ago. Hebrew continues to fascinate and interest people around the world.
Hebrew is very close to Arabic – they are both Semitic languages. Although they have different scripts, they have
parallel grammar systems and often similar words; for example, shalom in Hebrew is salam in Arabic (meaning both peace
and hello). Many words in Arabic are used by Hebrew speakers as slang words. For example, sababa (great) and mabsut (satisfied).
