Adar (1917–1991) was an Israel educator. “He interested himself in the speculative aspects involved with Jewish identity in the past and its meaning in the present, transmitting his thoughts to the younger generation through the medium of education. He wrote extensively, his most important work being Ha-Arakhim ha-Hinnukhiyyim shel ha-Tanakh (1954; Humanistic Values in the Bible, 1968) . In this work Adar attempted to use literary analysis to reveal the educational values in the biblical narrative.
