The Hebrew language died because it was gradually replaced by Aramaic. But it continued to be the language of prayer and learning among Jews.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Eliezer Ben Yehuda worked his whole life on bringing it back, by making the first Hebrew dictionary and opening the first schools that taught children entirely in Hebrew.
