Pesah [i.e. Passover; Turkish: Hamursuz Bayrami] is a major Jewish holiday and one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays. Together with Shavuot and Sukkot, Passover was one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire population of the kingdom of Judah made a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Samaritans still make this pilgrimage to Mount Gerizim, but only men participate in public worship. Nissim [or Nisim] Behar was a Rabi. Behar, whose family moved from Bursa to Istanbul Hasköy when he was very young, was sent to the Alyans School here. The family moved from Hasköy to Kuledibi in 1923. Growing up in a religious family Nisim's mother was a family known for their religiousness in Silivri, and they even got the name "Sofu" when the surname law was enacted.

He later studied pedagogy for two years in Germany and thereafter became a teacher in Levinsky's Teacher's College in Tel Aviv 1923-1952. He debuted in print in 1911 with a poem in the children's magazine Heperaim The flowers and from that point published over one hundred Hebrew books for children and edited children's newspapers textbooks and the like. He is considered the founder of Hebrew-language children's literature in Israel. Leksikon fun der Nayer Yidisher Literatur "A year after opening and before a single book had even been published Omanut closed its doors in Moscow and moved to Odessa a bustling port on the Black Sea located in the Ukraine and as yet untouched by the Revolution. Odessa was already a flourishing center of Jewish culture home to such luminaries of Modern Hebrew literature as Mendele Mocher Sforim and Chaim Nachman Bialik. But the events of 1917 sent even more Jewish writers and artists pouring in. With such a stable of local talent from which to draw Odessa was to prove fertile ground indeed for Omanut. As the Bolsheviks advanced on the Ukraine Olamenu's female founder Shoshana Persitz relocated again this time to Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany. There she republished the beautiful picture books illustrated by the young art students in Odessa and also began publishing the polished Hebrew translations of world literature for children by which the press was to become famous. In 1925 Omanut left Europe altogether establishing itself once and for all in Tel-Aviv." LOC SUBJECTS: Children's songs Hebrew. Singing games. Children's songs Hebrew. Singing games. OCLC: 18897325.
