Herschel's three voyages

Herschel, an orphaned and poor boy, four years old. Alone in the world, dreaming of reaching the Land of Israel

The text was written by Janusz Korczak as an introduction to the story "The Three Voyages of Herschel". Korczak handed it over to Jerahmiel Weingarten in 1926 and asked him to translate it from Polish to Hebrew. Weingarten accepted the request, translated the introduction into Hebrew and published it in the Hebrew newspaper, "Alim", which he edited in Poland.

Jerahmiel Weingarten tells about the conversation he had with Korchak, in which Korchak told him about the story he was working on writing, and even asked Weingarten to translate the introduction, which was already written at the time, into Hebrew.
