("In a later generation, Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda...and they dwelt in the Mishnah as they dwelt in the Torah...and the filth of the Hebrew language was spread throughout it...and the beauty of its composition, and its value...and no one hates it except one who does not understand it" - Rabbi Yehuda the Levite/Kuzari 103, and so: "And it is obligatory for the well that the Hebrew language that is in our hands Today is the language in which the first fathers spoke, from the names of the powerful private men who are derived from the actions and from the names of the common people" - Abarbanel at the beginning of Chapter 2, and so: "Osip is about to return to Russia...which, as the saying goes, does not bind him to the land, neither the work of the land nor the language "Hebrew" - Agnon/ Tamol Shilshom, 110)
