Does this mean that you would have been against the resurrection of the Hebrew language in the modern state?<BR/><BR/>Also, by use of music, do you specifically instrumental?

Here are a few.<BR/><BR/>1) What benefit to you see in "ambushing" Christians? How is their any Kiddush Hashem in making them feel ignorant of their own religion?
