	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Hebrew’s Theological Significance
		This centrality of language continued even as, over a period of centuries, Hebrew ceased to be a spoken language and was supplanted in daily Jewish life by other languages specific to Jews, the most famous and widely spoken of which were Yiddish and Ladino.
		And yet, the Hebrew of modern Israel has come to provide for probably the greatest number of Jews in history a direct access to the spiritual treasures of the Hebrew Scripture and Rabbinic literature, as well as a feeling of association with the entire history of the Jews, their religion, and culture.
		It is, further, only a small step from this notion to the conclusion that the language of the Hebrew Scripture--and with it, the language of the Mishnah, the liturgy, most of the midrashic literature, and the language in which the rabbis of the two Talmuds express their definitive statements--is also the language of Creation.
