Just a heads up, that website is directly tied to a fringe Christian cult that aggressively attempts to convert Jews. I wouldnât trust anything they have to say.

dont minimize them, just teach. i enjoy learning fr fr.
I can *definitely* minimize them. They are a literal cult, who have actively tried to suck me in on multiple occasions throughout my life. Just because they speak in a language that sounds familiar and friendly to Christians doesnât mean their teachings are worth learning.
i get your point concerning people appropriating other peoples cultures. but a simple google search renders the same. what is the meaning if the interpretation is wrong? i see you like to expand on metaphor and meaning. go in and break it down for me. i love learning especially the truth.
The biblical word that Iâm assuming theyâre talking about is ×ע×ר. It does, in fact, means âcrossingâ, but thatâs where the truth in the argument ends. No where in the Tanach (Jewish Bible) is it used to describe becoming a Hebrew, as conversion was not a âthingâ yet and even today works far differently than in Christianity. You became a Hebrew by birth only. Likewise, it has nothing to do with Abraham, or the root of his name. Names and proper nouns in Hebrew donât always have a the standard 3-letter root of ancient (or modern) Hebrew. Even if they did, Abrahamâs name (××ר××) starts with an × (Aleph), not an ע (Ayin). While they (usually) make the same sound in modern Hebrew, they were very different letters in the ancient script and were pronounced differently.
i still think it is more contructive to attack the information and not the messenger since the information is nearly correct.
i understood that the hebrew people adopted the name in part from abrahams travels and cultural cross over to monotheism.
from a moorish perspective i see the ancient hebrew language as a canaanite (moabite) derivative and even the person you mentioned associate with the laguage revival wearing a moorish (fez) headdress.
also i found the video interesting because what we call ancient hebrew today is a modern creation like the state of isreal. i had no idea đ¤ˇđžââď¸
In the case of that article you posted from a cult, it is definitely acceptable to also target the messenger.
You are correct that Hebrew and cross (verb) share a root, as the name came from Abrahamâs crossing of the desert, but that has zero affiliation with a cross (noun), also called a crucifix. Thatâs a completely different word with a completely different root and the correlation youâre seeing pushed in those articles youâre finding only works when you disregard the original language and translate it into English without context.
Also, Abraham and his descendants werenât monotheists for the first few thousand years, they were henotheists. Monotheism wouldnât become adopted by the Hebrews until several hundred years before Jesus.
Ancient Hebrew is a language that dates back thousands of years and branched from Akkadian. Canaanites didnât actually have their own language and spoke mostly Moabite, Hebrew, or Phoenician, depending on their region.
While modern Hebrew is different, it is based entirely on the ancient Hebrew. An incredible amount of work was done to modernize the language with an expanded vocabulary and updated grammar, but anyone that is fluent in modern Hebrew can also read and at least minimally understand ancient Hebrew in the same way that any fluent modern English speaker can read and understand Shakespeare.
Iâm gonna fall asleep now, but I really appreciate your asking questions and being open to answers that opposed what youâve read. Thatâs a true sign of intelligence and curiosity. Something that is lacking on all social media these days, nostr included.
Basing on you profile picture(if its the real you), I assume you are a nice guy. However, your emotional âswitchâ could blind you from logic truth while also block your path towards innovation or creativity.
Simply put it, you are at the bottom of the food chain, though you survive through sort of tech skills.

also is this true?
I canât watch that right now, but if it credits Eliezer Ben-Yehuda for publishing articles and working to tweak it for modern times to revive it in the late 19th century as a way of boosting Jewish identity around the world and removing the stigma of it only being a âsacredâ language, then yes.
