"'Mikan Ve'eylakh': A Radical Attempt to Replace Israeli Hebrew with World Hebrew"
The second issue of 'Mikan Ve'eylakh,' a new Hebrew journal edited in Berlin and Paris, includes articles, essays, stories, and poems written mostly outside the borders of Israel. But as stated in the preface, it is not a journal of exiles but of 'diaspora'; it seeks to return the Hebrew language to the dispersion. It extricates it from the myth of the revival of Hebrew — a myth of significant weight in Zionist ideology, which locates the language in a single site of belonging, development, and life: in Israel. 'Mikan Ve'eylakh' returns it to its global speakers.
