| Notes |
Reuven Zaslany was a teacher by profession and inclination. He completed his teachers’ training between the years 1923 and 1928 at the Hebrew Teachers’ Seminary in Jerusalem, which at the time was a first-rate institution with a unique faculty and student body. The school was noted for
its scholarly atmosphere, and its faculty list read like a Who’s Who of Jewish educators, many of whom have long since become a part of the history and folklore of Jewish education in Eretz Yisrael: the principal and founder of the Seminary was the founder of the Hebrew Language Committee and the Teachers’ Federation, David Yellin, and his deputy was the historian and future Minister of Education, Ben-Zion Dinur (Dinburg). Both of them were held in high regard by the students. The Bible and Hebrew language teacher was H. A. Zuta, and the Geography
teacher was A. Y. Bravver. Ben-Zion Netanyahu (father of Yonatan ‘Yoni’ and Binyamin ‘Bibi’– leader of the Likkud Party and subsequently Prime Minister) who studied with Zaslany |
