IH — i guess the o-u isnt the first to give out hechsherim.
(actually, the aruch hashulchan discusess it.)
Re translating from tanach to modern Hebrew-nothing new-I remember having such for the Nach in my Ivrit Bivrit elementary school. In my schul I see a chumash from about 60 years ago translated into Modern Hebrew.
“Re translating from tanach to modern Hebrew-nothing new-I remember having such for the Nach in my Ivrit Bivrit elementary school”
Not sure if it was a word by word translation or just a translation of whatthey felt was appropriate for elementary school kids.
There have long been Tanachs (and siddurim) with footnotes explaining difficult words in modern Hebrew. This version is a full side by side translation.

“i guess the o-u isnt the first to give out hechsherim”
Interesting trivia how they started-there was a lot of kashrus in theUS beforetheOU started hechsherim-Heinz wanted a certificate wo obvious Jewish connection so as not to scare non Jewish customers-so they went to the OU which started the OU-bythe end of the 20s there were hundreds of products undertheir supervision.
