were "Lefi Sha'a", "Be'inyanei Dyuma", which were printed during World War I, as well as the weekly newspaper "Hed Ha'am", which was published in the years 1924 and 1925. In addition, Yellin was a member of the Daily Newspaper "Do'ar Hayom", and later on he also wrote for the newspaper "Ha'aretz". All of Yellin's literary and journalistic inheritance was donated to the Yad Ben-Zvi Museum in Jerusalem, and it can be found there at a corner that has been dedicated to Yellin's memory. Yitzchak Yaakov Yellin also served for many years as a teacher of the Hebrew language, grammar and mathematics at the Yeshiva Etz Haim. Yellin was the first figure to initiate Hebrew lessons in Torah schools, and this despite the bitter objection of Ultra-orthodox Jews (until then it was custom to learn Hebrew translated to Yiddish). Yellin wrote two grammar books for teaching Hebrew: ״The Punctuation Book" (1921) and "The Verbs Book" (1930). These books were distributed and used as the basis for teaching the Hebrew language in Torah schools and colleges. In addition, Yellin wrote and published a detailed book about grammar as an element in the Halakha (Jewish Law). For all these achievements and his work for Jerusalem and its people, Yellin was presented with the "Ot HaRishonim" badge of the city of Jerusalem. Yitzhak Yaakov Yellin died on Alef of Iyar, 1964, in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Kiryat Moshe, of which he was one of the founders. Until today, the neighborhood's synagogue, "Ohel Yitzhak" ("The Tent of Yitzhak"), where Yellin served as cantor and synagogue manager, and also a street in the neighborhood, are named after Yellin. In 2007, Yitzhak Yakov's granddaughter, English author Tamar Yellin, won the Sami Rohr Prize, a Jewish literary prize, for her novel "The Genizah at the House of Shepher", a fictitious tale whose origin lies in the true tales of the Yellin family and on letters and documents found in the attic of Yitzhak Yakov Yellin's house in Jerusalem.
