Eight Issues of the Hebrew Children's Magazine "Reprint" – Canada, 1944-1946
Eight issues of the Hebrew Children's Magazine "Reprint", edited by Jerachmiel (Jerzy) Wajngarten. Montreal: The Canadian Hebrew Culture Fund, 1944-1946.
Eight issues:
• Year I: issues nos. 1-4 (1944-1945.) • Year II: issues nos. 1, 2-3 (double issue) and 4 (1945-1946.) • Year III: first issue (1946.)
The issues feature stories and poems by the great writers of modern Hebrew literature, news from Palestine, focusing on the cultural world, illustrations (by B. Malchi, Isac Fridlander, Arieh Navon, and others), pictures (among them, a picture taken by Helmar Lerski), and more. The magazine's articles are reprints from the Hebrew sections of various Canadian-Jewish newspapers – the Canadian Zionist, the Judaean, and the Canadian Jewish Eagle, and their tone is one of Zionist patriotism. Many articles emphasize the various educational activities carried out by the Zionist "Canadian Hebrew Culture Fund, " such as the publishing of Hebrew books and the distribution of Zionist
promotional materials.

Wajngarten established a chain of Hebrew schools and a few Hebrew magazines in north America. Died in Tel Aviv.
