Izzy here. I just watched this video and I had to tell you about it. David Reagan tells the story of Eliezer Ben Yehuda and the revival of the Hebrew language in such a gripping way!
William is following Yeshua in a Hebrew way! Here's his story.
I really don’t remember a time when I was not following Yeshua. Even as a kid I would go to church with friends and such. My mom and dad were followers but did not regularly attend.
I know the things I have heard and probably could apply them to my family. My mom was a Christmas and Easter Christian, and my dad was just a professing Christian. My brother as a kid went with friends to their church but I think he has fallen away.
Growing up I went to various churches and denominations. As a freshman or sophomore in college I went to a “Lutheran” church and have found home. I really feel like reading the “Lutheran Church Fathers” really got me into Hebrew. They are really pointed …. If you don’t read the original language of God then you are missing loads.
I am an avid searcher of the Web and have been a lurker of HLI for 2 or 3 years. Through my mom I have learned how to read and speak Hebrew through Eteacher. I have just pieced everything together and am currently trying to get my vocabulary up and the non-standard verb forms. Hitpael, Pual, etc with odd structure.
I am currently returning to school for accounting. My BS in Math and Physical Science as a teacher was great, but public school teaching has lost its good points. I love teaching and helping just not if the students or the system will not take ownership.
