It was Spring in the Land
Memoir of a Maskil
by Zevi Scharfstein
Professor, Teachers Institute, Jewish Theological Seminary of America
Translated from Hebrew and edited by Daniel M. Chernoff
Zevi Scharfstein was born in 1884 in a small town in what is now Ukraine but was then the Pale of Settlement in Imperial Russia. Growing up in the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement, he became an adherent of Zionism, in particular the movement to change Hebrew from a purely liturgical language to the common secular language of Jews throughout the world. His entire career was devoted to making Hebrew a living language, in teaching Hebrew to generations of future Hebrew teachers, and in studying the history of Hebrew pedagogy in Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.
In the 1950s, Scharfstein published two autobiographical works in Hebrew, one detailing his youth up until the time of his emigration to the United States, the second recounting forty years of personal history as an important figure in Hebrew education in the United States. This is an English translation of the first book, Haya Aviv BaAretz (It was Spring in the Land). It provides an intimate portrait of a young intellectual's experience as a young Jew growing up in Tsarist Russia, a devotee of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement, a social activist in the form of Zionism, and an early adopter of Hebrew as a living language.
