HALPERIN, YEḤIEL (1880–1942), Hebrew educator. Born in Priluki, Ukraine, Halperin taught in Y. Adler's "progressive ḥeder" in Gomel and later in S.L. Gordon 's in Warsaw. In 1909 he established the first Hebrew kindergarten in Warsaw, and, in 1910, a Hebrew seminary for kindergarten teachers. At the outbreak of World War I (1914) Halperin moved to Odessa where he established a similar seminary. Emigrating to Palestine in 1920, he served as a supervisor of Hebrew kindergartens from 1922 to 1925, and was appointed head of the Kindergarten Department of the Lewinsky Teachers' Seminary in Tel Aviv (1926). In 1936 he founded a special college for kindergarten teaching in Tel Aviv, which continued to function until 1941. Halperin published a journal devoted to the Hebrew kindergarten, Ha-Ginnah (in Odessa, from 1918; then in Jerusalem from 1922). His collected works were published in three volumes: Shi'urim be-Torat Ḥinnukh ha-Tinokot (1944): Be-Keren Zavit (1945), kindergarten play songs; and Mah Sipper Yare'aḥ Li (1952), eight legends. His sons were the poet yonathan ratosh and the philologist Uzzi Ornan. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: Epstein, in: Hed ha-Ḥinnukh, 17 (1943), 59–62; 1. Gruenbaum, Penei ha-Dor, 1 (1957), 316–9; Spivak, in: D.
