Excerpt from Poems for Young Judaeans The present collection a revision of Young J udaea's earlier collection of poems - is an attempt to gather into one small volume the best English lyrics on Zionist and other Jewish subjects. The collection has one avowed purpose: To be service able to the Young Judaea clubs. Though its. Use fulness should prove much wider, where choice and exclusion were necessary, the needs of our clubs have been the deciding factor. No poem is too old for any child, because poetry is ageless in every sense, and a child often loves best the song that it cannot understand. For this reason no line has been drawn between the poems for senior clubs, whose members are mentally mature, and the rhymes for the youngest children. Under certain circum stances, any poem herein contained may be used by any club. The poems have been grouped under headings, in order to help the leaders or club members in finding themes suitable for certain occasions. But these headings are only suggestive, not absolute. Under the holy day headings, for instance, are grouped many poems that may well be used on other occasions.

Excerpt from Around the Year in Rhymes for the Jewish Child Jewish girls and boys, these rhymes were written for you - a number of them have been printed before, in The Jewish Child and in The Young Judaean, and it is by their kind permis sion that they are being printed here. But they were not written for editors and publishers; they were written for you. And I truly declare and I do not care what editor reads it - that I care very much more for your opinion of these rhymes that were written for you than I care for the Opinion of any editor. Every author has a fair amount of vanity - I may as well confess it - and I have very much cared and been very happy when I heard that certain boys and girls liked certain of my rhymes. I have never been more proud than I was one day when I found one of my rhymes written in a round school hand on the blackboard in a Hebrew school-room. Forgive my vanity! It is because I love them because I love the Jewish children - that I care so much for their '0pinion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
