Overview"In Greek and Roman Palestine we find a Hebrew dialect that had existed alongside the literary language of Biblical Hebrew but had followed its own pattern of development. After the destruction of the Temple, the rabbis elevated this dialect to the status of a literary language, ""Rabbinic Hebrew"", and employed it in the composition of the Mishnah, Tosefta, and halakhic midrashim. This volume is a practical grammar of Rabbinic Hebrew which incorporates the results of recent investigations in this field. Starting from a pedagogic perspective it contains vocabulary and exercises in every unit, and introduces readers to thinking of the Sages of Israel."
