Definition
Relating to Israel, the Middle Eastern country, or its people, culture, or language.
Etymology
From Hebrew 'Yisra'el', traditionally interpreted as 'God contends' or 'one who wrestles with God', referring to the biblical Jacob. The modern state name was adopted in 1948, reviving the ancient designation for the Jewish people.
Kelly Says
The name Israel appears in the Bible when Jacob wrestles with an angel and receives a new name meaning 'he who strives with God'. Modern Israeli Hebrew is unique - it's an ancient language that was revived for daily use, making Israel the only country where a 'dead' language became a living national language again.
