This book explores the role of science and technology literature on Jewish education and identity in the 18th and 19th centuries, focusing on Hebrew texts for children and youth. It examines how Jewish science popularizers, primarily from the Haskalah movement, incorporated scientific knowledge within a Hebrew cultural context, bridging tradition and modernity across fields such as optics, cosmology, geography, and zoology. Through an analysis of key figures and texts, the book reveals how the popularization of science and technology served as a tool for cultural renewal, national transformation, and the modernization of Jewish society.
