The sefer explores them in depth,
occasionally reconciling them, sometimes
not. It begins at Creation and moves on
through history, contemplating what
happened when Eliezer Ben Yehuda met
Lashon Hakodesh, exploring how Modern
Hebrew fits in, and considers “derivative”
languages such as Judeo-Arabic and
Yiddish.
Rabbi Klein takes a systematic, academic
approach in the presentation of his material,
with careful documentation of sources,
while remaining firmly grounded in Torah
sources. The writing style is clear and
accessible. As an added bonus, the book is
clearly laid out, with a beautiful cover,
which makes the experience of studying it a
really joyful experience.

When discussing foreign languages, Rabbi
Klein even looks at why the Mishna chose
the word afikomen rather than other
possibilities.
There’s no doubt this remarkable sefer
makes a fantastic afikoman gift for
grownups.
Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein is currently a
fellow at the Kollel of Yeshivas Mir in
Jerusalem.
