context_page_description: Eliezer Ben‑Yehuda was a Hebrew lexicographer and newspaper editor. He was the driving force behind the revival of the Hebrew language in the modern era.
context_section_description: Ben-Yehuda was the editor of several Hebrew-language newspapers: HaZvi, Hashkafa, and HaOr. HaZvi was closed down for a year in the wake of opposition from Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox community, which fiercely objected to the use of Hebrew, their holy tongue, for everyday conversation.
