Abstract

Abstract: With the development of American Haredism (ultra-Orthodox Judaism) in the 1960s and 1970s came a desire for Haredi children's books. Self-publishing authors filled this gap in the 1970s, followed quickly by young readers' divisions in existing Haredi publishing houses and the establishment of new Haredi children's publishers. Key players in Haredi children's publishing also had roles in other Haredi organizations, resulting in close relationships between the various bodies shaping Haredi children's socialization. The ability of the community to maintain its insularity grew as Haredi children's publishing expanded and Haredi child readers were encouraged to rely on approved sources and texts.
