As a small child, Nima played with the son of Ben-Yehuda. Both children were raised to speak in the new language of Hebrew. But as girls learn to speak earlier than boys, it was she who was the first child raised in Hebrew, not the son of Ben Yehuda.
The source of this story was Tamar De Sola Pool, Nima Adlerblum's younger sister and my grandmother.
Nima Adlerblum was my great-aunt.
