Over at Mirty's Place, home to an artistic and technical wiz, comes the latest issue of Haveil Havalim, the best of the Jewish blogosphere.
At the suggestion of Soccer Dad, I nominated this post about Hebrew slang, a topic I find interesting because my knowledge of modern Hebrew is sorely lacking. Language development is a neat topic altogether, the weekly Forward column by Philologos always teaches me something I never knew. Modern Hebrew has had to "grow up" in only a hundred years and this is probably why there is less resistance to change and integrating words from other languages in Israel than in, say, France.
Anyway, it is (as always) a good issue of HH!
