The Hebrew Language Academy chose Bolan as the word of the year.
In preparation for Hebrew Day for the year 2017 and towards the end of the civil year, the Academy invited the public to choose the word of the year. From dozens of proposals received from the public, nine words were chosen and put to a vote on the website of the Hebrew Language Academy. Many thousands participated in the vote and they decided what the word of the year would be. Throughout
the
entire voting week, two words competed for first place: sinkhole and Shilot. The next word after them was hallucinatory. The other words offered to the public to choose from were compassion, climate, gender, the phrase "over the top", Rogella and Mishnatha.
