History

The company's oldest imprint, Dvir, was founded in Odessa in 1919 by Hayim Nahman Bialik.[1] After the Russian Revolution, Dvir moved to Berlin and in 1924, to Palestine. Machbarot Lesifrut, the company's imprint for world literature in translation, was established by Israel Zmora in 1939. Zmora-Bitan was established in 1973 by Ohad Zmora and Asher Bitan. In 1986 Zmora-Bitan acquired Dvir, together with its affiliates Karni and Megiddo. Kinneret publishing house was founded by Yoram and Talma Roz in 1978.

Kinneret was among the first houses to produce and market books with cassettes, board books and pop-up books for children.[2]
