Scope and Content

Teaching set of six records recorded and produced as part of the revival of Jewish education in Germany after the rise of the Nazi Party. Six records, six transcripts of the talks in Hebrew, six study booklets for each of the records with the talks in phonetic transcription in Latin characters and the meaning in German; index cards for study and repitition. Initiator of the project, Asher Plevner, was impressed by the popular teaching booklet "Ivrit LeOlim" by scholar and author Rabbi Emil Cohen and turned to the owner of a records manufacturing company, Otto Sperlin, who at the time produced records for learning languages. Sperling agreed to produce the records and in May 1934, Asher Plevner, his brother Dov, and sister Helena met in the studion of "Avner" company and recorded the Hebrew talks for study.
