[quote=Anonymous]I find interesting that the argument most prevalent against the school is that Hebrew is a useless language spoken by only a handful of people. Setting aside the interesting concept of "useless knowledge", it should be clear to everyone that the reach of a language is not measured by the number of people who speak it (has anybody on this board heard about Latin? Ancient Greek?). Learning Hebrew is not like learning Danish. Clearly the fact that Hebrew is one of the languages on which the Western Civilization (a.k.a Judeo-Christian) is based has escaped some people. Do you really think that the Bible was written is English?? Maybe you don't care about the Bible, but you should care about the civilization you live in, even if it is not your own. Unless of course, one puts "History" in the category of "useless" knowledge... [/quote]
