Detailed
Description

Mixed set of educational Hebrew primers by Zevi b. Dov Schardstein (1884–1972), U.S. Hebrew educator, journalist, and publisher. Born in the Dunayevtsy, Ukraine, Scharfstein devoted himself to educational work from 1903. After directing a Hebrew school in Tarnow, Galicia (1900–14), he arrived in the United States in 1914, and two years later became instructor at the Teachers Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he eventually served as professor of Jewish education until his retirement in 1960.

A prodigious contributor to the Hebrew press, his column in the American Hebrew weekly Hadoar dealt with political and, especially with literary events. From 1907 Scharfstein also published educational texts embracing Hebrew literature, Jewish education, Bible, and Hebrew language.

His historical works as a Jewish educator include Ha-Heder be-Hayyei Ammenu (1943) and Toledot ha-Hinnukh be-Yisrael ba-Dorot ha-Aharonim (5 vols., 1960–66); and his autobiographical works comprise Arba'im Shanah ba-Amerikah (1955–56). Among his contributions to Hebrew lexicography is Ozar ha-Ra'yonot va-ha-Pitgamim (3 vols., 1966). From 1940 Scharfstein was editor of the educational periodical Shevilei ha-Hinnukh.
