David Yellin- Part 1
David Yellin was an educator and one of the leaders of the Jewish
settlement in Israel. In 1890, he founded the Hebrew Language
Committee, with Eliezer Ben Yehudah. The committee was
active for one year and then was disbanded. The committee was
re-established in 1904 by teachers who needed new Hebrew
words for educational purposes. Yellin was the President of the
committee until his death in 1941.
In 1913 there was a great public debate over the place of Hebrew
in the education system in Israel. The Ezra Society of Berlin
planned to establish the Technion with instruction in German
rather than in Hebrew. David Yellin left the institute where he
was teaching because it belonged to the Ezra Society and helped
found the "Academy for Hebrew Teachers". Today, the
academy's formal name is "The David Yellin College of
Education". To this day, the College perpetuates David Yellin's
work for the Hebrew language.
