not really. just like it was never quite dead, just resting. it was revived consciously, yes, and that involved the usual language renewal shenanigans that lots of other languages have gone through.
the grammar is different from the language of the torah, but it'd be different anyway, that was thousands of years ago. i dunno how much the current grammar was influenced by european languages. i know the traditional ashkenazi pronunciation of hebrew definitely didnt win out in israel.

More than that! Ashkenazic Hebrew was deliberately replaced in a fit of auto-antisemitic psychosexual pique by the early Zionist movement looking to dissassociate itself with the "sounds of Yiddish complaint". It's essentially brown-face as white Central European Jewish people do a vague centuries old impression of Jewish dockworkers in Algiers following their exoticization/eroticization by Ben-Yehuda.
