Wooden Apparatus for Learning Hebrew
Wooden apparatus for learning Hebrew.
Wood; printed on paper.
Large apparatus for learning Hebrew letters and vowels. Large wooden box with four poles that can be rolled - on the first two poles is a sheet of paper with Hebrew letters and on the bottom two poles is a sheet of paper with vowels. The sheets are rolled by four handles on the panels of the box. On its front are two transparent "windows" that show the combination of the chosen letters and the vowels. The windows can be hidden by shutter-like covers. The whole front of the device can be opened by moving it to the left; the back can be opened on a hinge. Tied by a string to the carrying handle at the top of the apparatus is a tool like a pick. The size of the apparatus indicates that it was probably used for group study. The name of the manufacturer does not appear anywhere on the apparatus and it was most likely made for personal use and not mass-produced. Height: 30.5 cm, width: 45.5 cm, maximum depth: 14 cm (widens towards base). Overall good condition. Paper sheets of vowels are torn and cannot be rolled. Wooden parts in good condition, dry and acidic paper that tends to tear.
