Original Israeli Jewish National Fund Children’s Book Twelve Brothers, 1961–1962
A rare Israeli children’s booklet published by the Jewish National Fund, teaching the Hebrew calendar through twelve personified “brothers,” each representing a Hebrew month. Produced within the cultural world of Zionist state-building, the book uses holidays, harvest imagery, Hebrew verse, flags, menorahs, settlement landscapes, and biblical memory to bind Jewish time to land, nation, and childhood education.
