“The influence of Arabic, both spoken (in innumerable dialects, including those spoken by Jews) and written, took place in the mediaeval and modern periods of Hebrew; its vocabulary forms more than half of the Hebrew lexicon, according to the renowned dictionary of Abraham Even-Shoshan (Rosenstein, 1906–1984). The approximately 8,000 lexical items in the Bible are not sufficient to entirely meet the needs of either a written language or a spoken one.”

Tonight I started a discovery course of Hebrew. Just for me
I checked the alphabet
Similar system of consonants and strong vowels on which you append unwritten short vowels
Then I went on with the words that are close to Arabic, which I started to learn 20 years ago (not seriously enough): I still remember though how to pronounce most of arabic letters, and remember some vocabulary
I post my "course", because I recognize many of the words: THREAD will be LONG
Many of the kidnapped children were born to families of recent immigrants, living in the poorly maintained and isolated absorption camps where they were settled by state authorities upon their arrival.
"He was informed that the child had died; he couldn’t understand how such a minor injury caused a young child to die in one day. My grandfather, who didn’t know local customs and spoke only Yemenite Arabic and according to my uncle Yitzhak was still in mourning over the passing of his wife, was returned to the camp and did not inquire any further. Just like in so many similar stories, there was no body and there was no grave. But years later, as they found out, the child’s military conscription order arrived at their doorstep."
