Ben-Yehuda met a Jew from Jerusalem in Paris, who spoke Hebrew with him, convincing him that Hebrew revival was feasible.
The conversation in Paris with a Jew from Jerusalem convinced Ben-Yehuda that the revival of Hebrew as the language of a nation was feasible. This interaction is believed to have occurred in 1881, an inference drawn from his immigration to Jerusalem that year; the passages do not date the conversation itself. It served as a catalyst for his linguistic efforts.
