Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Uri Hurwitz <uhurwitz AT yahoo.com>]

Yes, Vadim, unless they are Israeli scholars. Biblical study does not require 
any knowledge of modern Hebrew. I don't believe Gesenius knew it, nor for 
that matter Rashi or Ibn Ezra, or the translators of the LXX , nor the 
commentators of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
  Why someone would post an article here in Modern Heb., and one that has 
absolutely nothing to do with biblical Heb., (it deals with suggested reform 
of modern vowelling)  -- is a mystery.

Is it normal for the scholars of ancient Hebrew to not be able to read
Israeli newspaper?

Sincerely,

Yes, sadly, because modern Hebrew is a different language, and has a 
large number of vocabulary items and some grammatical structures not 
used in the Hebrew Bible, and also because most scholars (although not 
Karl) are not used to reading unpointed text.
