Information about Ziz
)
The ziz (Hebrew: זיז) is a giant bird in Jewish mythology, said to be large enough to be able to block out the sun with its wingspan. It is considered a giant animal/monster corresponding to archetypal creatures. Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz were traditionally a favorite decoration motif for rabbis living in Germany.
Some say that the ziz was created to protect all of the birds and that if the ziz did not exist, then all the smaller birds on Earth would be helpless and killed.
The giant ziz lives on in children's literature. He figures prominently in a story from Gertrude Landa's (also known as Aunt Naomi) 1919 collection Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends. Two books followed--The Ziz and The Ziz and the Hanukkah Miracle--making the ziz a continuing character in Jewish children's literature. The ziz also appears in two recent books by Jacqueline Jules and illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn - Noah and the Ziz and The Ziz And the Hanukkah Miracle.
