For wisdom shall enter into your heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto your soul
(Proverbs 2:10)
Seven Good Years is an adaptation for children of I. L. Peretz’s The Deposit [HaPikadon]. Isaac Leib Peretz (1852–1915) was a Jewish author who lived in Poland. His books and stories in both Yiddish and Hebrew were often inspired by Jewish folktales. In his writing, he frequently described the life of the Jewish community in Eastern Europe warmly and affectionately, sympathizing with the tough lives of commoners.
