Abstract: Culture has always been one of the central aspects of the Zionist movement and of Jewish nationalism in general. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Hebrew children's culture was a vibrant domain of national activity that reached tens of thousands of Jews in the Russian Empire and beyond. In this article, I explore the creation of Hebrew children's culture in the late tsarist period and examine how it was shaped by Jewish cultural nationalism. The specific focus of my research is the Warsaw-based publishing house Tushiyah, and its founder, Ben Avigdor. I argue that Hebrew children's culture was a very significant form of Jewish cultural nationalism, both Zionist and non-Zionist, at the turn of the twentieth century. Thus, this analysis sheds light on the extent and the meaning of Jewish nationalism for the Jewish public in eastern Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
