to Spark Jewish Book Fair Programs

introduced Hebrew in 1880 as
the everyday language in the
Jewish Palestinian colonies.
Grade, currently a writer for
The Day-Morning Journal, has

prose, among them "The Mus-
sarists," "Generations," "Over-

Stars." He received the Bimko
prizes for his book "My Mother's
Will," and the LaMed prize for
"My Mother's Sabbath Days."
