Definition
The process of making something Hebrew in character, language, or culture, or adopting Hebrew practices and traditions.
Etymology
From Hebrew (Hebraize) + -ation (suffix forming nouns of action). The root 'Hebrew' comes from Arabic 'ibri' meaning 'one from the other side.' The suffix -ation comes from Latin, creating a noun that describes the act or process of Hebraizing.
Kelly Says
This word captures one of history's great cultural movements—how Jewish communities throughout the diaspora gradually readopted Hebrew after centuries of speaking Aramaic, Greek, and other languages. It's the linguistic equivalent of a cultural homecoming that accelerated dramatically in the 1800s and 1900s.
