‘Sefer HaYashar for young adults by Aaron Liboshizki was first published in Warsaw 1923 and later went through several editions in Israel. This book is a modern adaptation for young readers of a popular early seventeenth-century Hebrew essay. The article examines the poetics of the adaptation in light of its source. The main claim which the article presents is that literary projects such as these connect the Jewish present to the past and enrich the repertoire of Modern Hebrew literature from the unexpected direction of the Hebrew pre-modern prose.
