The Untold Story of Palestinians Who Learned Hebrew

Buried among the roughly six thousand uncatalogued volumes located in the reading room of the Khalidiyya Library in the Old City of Jerusalem is a hand-written workbook of one of the first Palestinians to study the Hebrew language.

The workbook belonged to Ruhi al-Khalidi, who later represented the District of Jerusalem in the Ottoman Parliament in 1908 and also wrote one of the earliest and most detailed studies of Zionism in Arab history.
