'Speak Hebrew – love Israel?' will share some of my students stories and motivations for learning modern Hebrew, and their feelings towards the Israeli state. We will question - * Can we learn Hebrew in a non-political setting, as just a language?? * What part does love towards Israel/the Jewish people play in my student’s will to learn Hebrew? * And if so - have they also been brainwashed about Israel? just as I was when I was young? * Why would anyone want to learn IVRIT, my language, a beautiful language, and yet, as some see it - the language of the oppressor?

Join a fascinating conversation with my British student Hannah, a researcher of Israeli and Palestinian literature, and explore:
What parts of her British colonial heritage has she encountered in her professional path?
What does the land, the trees and water symbolise in Israeli and Palestinian narratives? Which roles do the Jordan River, the Hula Valley and the Mediterranean Sea play?
How has Hannah seen the politics of language-learning in the Hebrew workbooks and material?
