1st Russian Edition. Original wrappers with green and blue printing, 8vo, 241 pages. 22 cm. In Russian. Title translates as, "A Reply to Bernstein: (Anti-Criticism)." Liebman Hersch's copy, with his ownership stamp, "L. Hersch." on the front cover and title page. Karl Johann Kautsky (1854-1938) was a "Czech-Austrian philosopher, journalist, and Marxist theorist. A leading theorist of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Second International, Kautsky advocated orthodox Marxism, which emphasized the scientific, materialist, and determinist character of Karl Marx's work. This interpretation dominated European Marxism for two decades, from the death of Friedrich Engels in 1895 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914." Eduard Bernstein (1850-1932) was a "German social democratic Marxist theorist and politician. A member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Bernstein had held close association to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, but he began to identify what he believed to be errors in Marxist thinking and began to criticize views held by Marxism when he investigated and challenged the Marxist materialist theory of history. He rejected significant parts of Marxist theory that were based upon Hegelian metaphysics and rejected the Hegelian perspective of an immanent economic necessity to socialism. Bernstein was born in Berlin-Kreuzberg to Jewish parents who were active in the Reform Temple on the Johannistrasse whose services were performed on Sunday" (Wikipedia). Liebman Hersh (1882-1955), aka Pesach Liebmann Hersch, "was a professor of demography and statistics at the University of Geneva, and an intellectual of the Jewish Labor Bund, whose pioneering work on Jewish migration achieved international recognition in the period after the First World War. Liebmann Hersch was born in the small Lithuanian town of Pamu?is.Liebmann's father was a maskil and a journalist who published articles in various Hebrew journals, including Ha-Maggid and Ha-Melitz. Liebmann Hersch studied mathematics at the University of Warsaw. Because of his involvement in anti-Czarist political activity Hersch was eventually forced to flee Warsaw. He moved to Geneva in 1904. In 1905 he joined the Jewish socialist party-the General Union of Jewish Workers in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter Bund), also known as the Jewish Labor Bund, or simply the Bund-that had been founded in 1897. Influenced by the debates within the Bund about the economic and political future of the Jews in Eastern Europe, Hersch pursued research on the causes and characteristics of Jewish emigration.In connection with his Bundist activities, Hersch published articles on political and social issues in the Yiddish, Polish and Russian press, with a focus on emigration and the problems of Jewish nationalism.he wrote his book Immigration to and Emigration from Palestine, published in Warsaw in Yiddish in 1928, and subsequently translated into French. In 1931 Hersch's article "International Migration of the Jews," which became a classic work on the topic, appeared in the collection International Migrations (volume 2), edited by Walter Willcox and Imre Ferenczi, and published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York. In the 1930s Hersch's research mainly comprised statistical and quantitative analyses of the conditions under which Jews lived. In 1937 he published a study in Yiddish comparing Jewish and non-Jewish crime in Poland, which appeared in Vilna in 1937. During World War II, Hersch was active on behalf of Jews in Nazi-occupied countries, and those who had taken refuge in Switzerland, and was a representative on the American Jewish Labor Committee. He was also a member of the executive council of the World ORT. In 1954 Hersch was elected as chair of the World Population Conference of the United Nations (the fourth international conference for demography and statistics), held in Rome. At that time he was also president of.…

1st edition. Original color-printed paper wrappers with later lamination, 12mo 241 pages. 19cm. In French. Title translates as: "Kosher: Jewish Cuisine, Modern Ghettos." Book was later re-issued under the less controversial title, "The Jews of Poland; Recollections and Recipes." Rebecca Miller discussed the book at length in the Jewish Forward in 2013: "De Pomiane (1875-1964), a physician, was also one of the most famous chefs and cookery writers of his day. Born Eduard Pozerski, he was born into the Polish aristocracy, brought up poor but refined. Both his parents were Polish patriots who fought against Russian domination of their homeland; his mother fled to France with the young Eduard when his father was deported to Siberia for insurrection against the Russians. Coming of age within the close-knit community of Polish exiles in Paris, he was sympathetic to liberal causes and was a proponent of the Dreyfus cause. His ethnographic book about Polish Jewish culture and cooking, written in 1928, was originally entitled 'Cuisine Juive; Ghetto Modernes' ('Jewish Cooking; Modern Ghettos'). It is, perhaps, the weirdest book I have ever read. A tantalizingly vague recipe for Carpe a la Juive ('Take a large, live carp. Kill it.') follows a horrifying description of a pogrom, relayed to de Pomiane by a museum guide who had survived the massacre by hiding under a heap of hay in which his sister suffocated overnight: 'A corpse, belly ripped open, lay with its guts wrapped around its neck.A child wandered aimlessly, haggard, mute, crazed, its body beaten to a pulp.' In de Pomiane's writing, appreciative paragraphs about the accomplishment of certain refined Jews rub shoulders with unwittingly racist pseudo-science. 'I observed as a biologist.wrote as a scientist,' claims de Pomiane, as he cheerfully divides all male Jews into three types: 'The dark-haired Jew, with a long beard and a delicate, aquiline nose. His lips are often thin, his ears lie flat against his head. His eyes are deep, almost mystical. He is less excitable than the others. It could be said that he belongs to an ethnic aristocracy. He has an Egyptian profile.' 'This type is also dark-haired, and much more common. His beard is black, shorter, his eyes are bulging and bloodshot, his nose is squat, his lips are thick and very red.This is the excitable Jewish type. When he laughs, he sniggers. The face, overall, has a cruel and bestial appearance. Certainly this type of Jew would frighten a child in France, even if that child were himself Jewish.' 'A third, and rarer, type is completely red-headed. The beard is shorter and divided in two. He has the same negroid facial characteristics as the preceding type. The lips look even thicker and frame the teeth with two red borders of equal size. Although they are red, the peyes look brown from being rolled, twisted, and curled between fingers that are constantly being licked.' Having provided us with this helpful diagram of Jewish types, he takes us on a tour of Jewish Poland, beginning with Kazimierz, the Jewish Ghetto in Crakow since the Middle Ages: The whole place seems fairly, and in some places, extremely, poverty-stricken. The more so since the population is dirty and strange. In Kazimierz, everyone dresses in black, everyone rushes about in a hurry, they all bustle about irritably, pushing, shouting, arguing. One would think the whole city was in the grip of some nervous disease. De Pomiane believes that these poor, nervous Jews give us a sense of what the tribes of Israel must have been like, 'these people who when settled among us became the educated and refined individuals with whom we are familiar.' So, De Pomiane argues, the less 'Jew-y' the Jews are, the more European, the more refined they are-and hence, it seems, equal to non-Jews. Unfortunately in only a few years there was no refinement that could save a Jew in Poland, or indeed, France: being Jewish was considered a racial fact, not a cultural subtlety. But de Pom.…

First edition. Original paper wrappers, 8vo, 19 pages. Includes illustrations. 23 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "Notes On Assignment, Poetry Pathways from Zalman Shazar." Commentary on Zalman Shazar's "On Assignment, Poetry Pathways" by Uruguayan teacher and writer Isaac Vainsencher. Zalman Shazar (1889-1974) "was a researcher in Jewish history and a journalist, born (with the surname Rubashov) in Mir, Byelorussia. He descended from a well-pedigreed Hassidic family.From late 1912 he was studying history, biblical scholarship, and philosophy at the Universities of Freiburg, Strasbourg, and Berlin. From early on he stood with labor Zionism, was a pupil and collaborator with Ber Borokhov, a builder of the Labor Zionist party, and a member of its highest bodies in Europe. From 1924 he was on the highest institutions of Mapai (Workers' Party of the Land of Israel), Histadrut, and throughout Israel. He was elected in 1963 as the third president of the State of Israel. He took up research on Jewish history, especially Messianic movements among Jews, Bible scholarship, and old sources of the Yiddish language. In addition, he was active in community and public affairs work. In his historical research, Shazar was the pioneer of a new approach to the Shabbatai Zvi movement, seeing in it a longing of the Jewish people for redemption in the Land of Israel. Gershom Scholem, the scholar of Kabbalah, writes: 'I am certain that I and others of that generation were greatly inspired, consciously and unconsciously, by the seeds that he sowed in us.'"

First edition. Original paper wrappers, 4to, 7 leaves. In Portuguese. Title translates as "Bylaws." From four years after the founding of the State of Israel, the statutes of Brazil's main Zionist organization. From front cover (translated): "Presented for registration on October 11, 1946, to the 'Civil Registry of Legal Entities,' on Avenue Presidente Frankil Roosevelt, 126, 2nd floor, Room 205 (Order 329 of the Protocol of Book A, No. 1. Registered under Order No. 87 of Book A.) Signed by Mr. Jacob Scheinder." "The first stirrings of Zionism in Brazil appeared at the beginning of the century, in the northern city of Belem do Para, a center of immigration for Jews from Morocco and Algeria. Certain Zionists there corresponded with Zionists from Europe, among them Max Nordau, who, as a humanist philosopher, carried great weight with the non-Jewish Brazilian intelligentsia of the time. There is also evidence that Mauricio Klabin, a pioneer of the paper industry in Brazil, organized a group of Jews in Sao Paulo to encourage Jewish colonization in Palestine. But there are no records to attest to Klabin's activity in Sao Paulo until February 1914, when his name was mentioned in a memorandum by Bruno Rabinowitz, of the Jewish National Fund in Germany. Rabinowitz maintained contact with Brazilian Zionists, instructing them in organizational and fundraising matters. This same memorandum also mentions contact with the first Zionist organization in Brazil, founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1913 by Jacob Schneider and others. By 1922 the movement had sufficiently matured to require a more centralized organization of the various associations. Jacob Schneider and other members of Tiferet Zion began planning a nationwide Zionist Congress for November I 5,1922 (the day on which the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil is celebrated) and, naturally, informed the WZO of the event. Thirty-nine delegates from thirteen Brazilian states represented fourteen Zionist associations throughout Brazil. Jacob Schneider, chairman of the Organizing Committee, made the keynote address, declaring the establishment of a Zionist Federation the major objective of the Congress. The Federation was established and its main offices located in Rio de Janeiro, and thus began a new phase in the history of Brazilian Zionism."

No Date [1940s?]First edition. Original illustrated printed boards, 8vo, 10 unnumbered leaves, includes illustrations. 18 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates as "Please." Richly illustrated children's book by Leah Goldberg. "Lea Goldberg began writing poetry at twelve, profoundly shaped by her family's exile from Russia to Lithuania and her father's imprisonment and subsequent breakdown. Goldberg studied at the Universities of Kovno, Berlin, and Bonn. She made Aliyah to Palestine in 1935 and published her first collection of poetry, Smoke Rings, later that year. Throughout the 1940s her poems paid tribute to the Eastern Europe of her childhood, but in the 1950s she explored themes of creativity, love, and silence, particularly in her 1955 collection Morning Lightning. She began teaching literature at Hebrew University in the 1950s, focusing on Russian literature. She also published several plays, children's books, and novels, and translated Tolstoy, Ibsen, and Chekhov into Hebrew. She was awarded the Israel Prize posthumously in 1970." (Jewish Women's Archive) The Tel Aviv publisher Sifriyat Paz, managed by H. Margolin and Dr. Y. Zeliger, primarily operated during the 1940s and 1950s. The publishing house is best known for releasing beloved, colorfully illustrated children's books and fairy tales, often featuring the illustrations of Moshe Matusovski, during its peak era. The illustrated, Moshe Matus [Matusovski] (1908-1963) immigrated to Tel Aviv from Warsaw in 1924. After graduating from Herzliya Gymnasium he studied painting and sculpture at the Bezalel School of Art with Boris Schatz and later, in the early 1930s, at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Returning to Tel Aviv, he was one of the most prominent artists in Mandate Palestine. He participated in general exhibitions and had one-man shows at the Herzliya Hotel in Tel Aviv (1932); in Allenby 15, Tel Aviv (1935), in Pomrock House, (1936); in the Steimatzky Gallery in Jerusalem (1937); the Cosmopolitan Gallery in Tel Aviv, (1938) and at the Tel Aviv Art Museum (1946). He painted the scenery for the play "Warsaw" staged by Habimah Theater and other public events in Israel. In the 1930s and 1940s Matus illustrated dozens of Hebrew children's books published in Israel. In May 1947 he moved with his wife to the United States, continuing on to Montreal in 1952. His first exhibition there, which was shown at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the city on April 8, 1952, was opened by Thibodaux Renfro, the president of the Supreme Court of Canada and Acting Governor-General. Two and a half years later, in 1955, he moved to Toronto, where he lived until his death, In the spring of 1958, he was appointed by the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews (CCCJ) to paint the portrait of John Keiller MacKay, the 19th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario from 1957 to 1963 - despite the tradition that it was customary until then to invite an official portrait only with an artist who is a subject of the Kingdom of the Commonwealth of Nations and a member of the British Royal Academy of Art (Translated from Wikipedia).

First edition. Original paper wrappers, 8vo, 7 pages, 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "About the Bund in Poland: Facts and Figures in Connection with the Attack of the Poale Tsiyon on the Jewish Workers' Committee." Published by the Bundishn klub in New York, established in 1923 as an organization which would support the work of the Bund in Poland materially and ideologically. This pamphlet covers the organization's historical feud with Poale Tsion, the Marxist Zionist political party within Poland. "The rapid development of socialist movements in Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Bund's emphatic rejection of Zionism in 1901, and the Russian Revolution of 1905 hastened the consolidation of disparate Labor Zionist groups into an organized movement. These groups rejected the view of the Bund's founders that socialism and democracy sufficed to solve the Jewish problem and stressed that only a territorial base in Palestine could allay the economic marginality and abnormality of Diaspora Jewry. In Russia in 1906, [Ber] Borokhov founded the Jewish Social Democratic Workers Party-Po'ale Tsiyon. This party followed his 'prognostic Zionism,' outlined in the 1906 pamphlet 'Nasha platforma' (Our Platform) that stressed the role of objective socioeconomic factors and crises rather than Jewish nationalism and pioneering zeal in establishing a Jewish territorial base in Palestine (Borokhov himself later changed his views and embraced the "principled" Zionism that 'Nasha platforma' rejected)."

"Villa Domínguez is a municipality in the Bergara district of the Villaguay department in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. The municipality includes the town of the same name and a rural area. The Gobernador Domínguez railway station was opened on September 23, 1890.

Text in black ink with red headings. Play by Zishe Landau, "a U.S. Yiddish poet. Born in Plotsk (Poland) into a distinguished rabbinical family, Landau had both a traditional and a secular education and was orphaned in childhood. He went to New York in 1906 and began his literary career with lyrics that linked him with the emerging literary group, Di Yunge, which in reaction to earlier traditions called for 'pure' verse free of collective themes. Indeed he later rejected his early poems, written in a traditional style and stressing national and social themes, and recognized as genuine only those written after 1911, when he came under the influence of European impressionism and espoused the credo of 'art for art's sake.' He was a political conservative and a poetic revolutionary. Deeply affected by Jewish suffering during World War I, Landau reverted to Jewish national themes and also wrote poems of U.S. patriotism. In his own verse, he was attracted to symbolism and made frequent use of romantic irony. His subjects are often exotic, his vocabulary allusive rather than expressive."

No Date [1920] First edition? Original printed paper wrappers, 8vo, 64 pages, includes illustration. 24 cm. In French and Hebrew. Rare Haggadah published in the Jewish Quarter of Cairo. "The strategic location of the Jewish Quarter in the heart of 19th-century Cairo turned it into a cultural port of call for foreign visitors, orientalists, and travellers, especially given that many Jews were fluent in foreign languages and worked in currency exchange. .Egypt also became a favoured destination for foreign travellers and orientalists, with the Jewish Quarter attracting particular scholarly interest. However, as Zaki notes, many of their written accounts are 'rife with anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and a general sense of superiority over the natives.' .Throughout this history, one striking contradiction emerges: as the Jewish community in Egypt grew in prosperity during the nineteenth century, wealthy Jews began leaving the Quarter for more upscale areas such as Ismailia (now downtown Cairo) and the northern suburbs. Over time, only the 'miserable', as they were called, remained in the Quarter. Zaki's book narrates the history of the Quarter up until the end of the 19th century, when the first Zionist Congress was held in 1897, advocating the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. This led to the founding of the first Zionist association in Cairo, mainly composed of Ashkenazi Jews. However, the movement found little support or presence within the Quarter itself, which was predominantly Sephardic, before the century's end." (Qantara) OCLC: 1282024500.

From this important milestone in preserving Jewish life, three years passed until, on June 27, 1938, in a room on Cathedral Street, our organization finally began to take root under the name Bnei Jisroel. Our warm and communal embrace resonated throughout the Jewish community, attracting hundreds of people and growing spontaneously to encompass nearly 1,000 families within 10 years. This special Jewish spirit enabled this work to endure through time, despite numerous difficulties.

That last year, David Goldman wrote in his book Di Yuden in Argentine (Jews in Argentina) that there was a "mass of corpses in Argentina's literary cemetery," referring to the high number of newspapers that were short-lived. Goldman calculated that up until 1914, some 40 newspapers had sprung up, and in 1951 the magazine Der Shpigl defined that early period as 'the heroic era of Jewish journalism' in Argentina."

First edition. Period boards with original paper wrappers bound, 8vo, 48 pages, includes portraits of both Frumkin and Gershuni. 19 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "Fights and Fighters." First issue of a short-lived (1904-1905) Bundist journal with contributions from Ester Frumkin and Grigory Andreyevich Gershuni. Includes two articles: (1) "Ester Frumkin and Her Process" and (2) "Gerhsuni's Speech." "Esther Frumkin became active among the Social Democrats in Minsk in 1896; she joined the Bund in 1901 and engaged mainly in disseminating propaganda. During the inter-revolutionary period, 1905 to 1917, Frumkin was imprisoned numerous times for her revolutionary activities. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, she became a member of the central committee of the Bund as well as the Minsk municipal and community councils. She was later the primary spokesperson for official position of the Central Board of the Jewish Sections of the Communist Party in the USSR" (Jewish Women's Archive). Gershuni was "a founding member of the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party and one of the leaders of its Combat Organization. Grigorii Gershuni was born near Kaunas, Lithuania. Some sources describe him as a chemist, while others call him a pharmacist. He joined the revolutionary movement, and by the late 1890s had become an important promoter of socialist and anarchist ideas.In 1904, Gershuni was sentenced to death, but the verdict was commuted to life imprisonment. After various stays in prisons in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Akatui (in eastern Siberia), he escaped in 1906 and left Russia by way of China, moved to the United States, and ended up among fellow Russian revolutionaries-in-exile in Zurich, where he died of tuberculosis" (YIVO).

No Date [1945?] 1st Edition. Original Stapled Paper Wrappers, Small 4to, 17 pages. Mimeograph production. Early 1945 Bundist report aimed at the British public on the impact of six years of Nazi extermination policy on Polish Jewry. "From time to time the interest of the British public opinion turns to Jewish affairs. This brief report gives a general picture of the fate of the Jewish population of Poland and it also explains the point of view of the Jewish Workers' Party 'BUND' which is linked to the British working classes' by the international Socialist solidarity" (From the front cover). This early 1945 report to the British public on the destruction of and resistance by Polish Jewry lays out the brutal numbers and facts of ghettoization and then extermination as well as a detailed history of Bund-led Jewish resistance to the Nazis and to deportations to the camps. The mimeograph production and many typographical errors lend a kind of open authenticity to the document, that of exiled Jewish trade unionists addressing their British comrades in England. It begins: "The Jewish nation has borne tremendous sacrifices in this war. Several million Jews have been first tortured in a [sic] inhuman manner and then murdered - several millions, that is, many times more than the losses suffered by the much more numerous communities of the British Empire and the United States put together. Polish jews [sic] suffered the greatest losses. There were nearly three and half millions of them living in six hundred Polish cities and towns (not counting villages). First they were deported by the Germans to the few ghettos established by them in Poland. Soon afterwards the ghettos were emptied in turn, and their 'deported' population was murdered in extermination camps and death chambers." The publication lists the figures for "the ten biggest ghettos of Poland," noting that, "In these towns alone the Germans murdered more than one million Jews. (Incidentally, in all of them, with the exception of Cracow, Lwow and Czestowchowa, 'Bund' was the dominant Jewish party). Out of the nearly three and half millions of Polish Jews there is only a small fraction left today. A small number of survivors have been saved from death by the victorious advance of the Soviet Army. The remainder of the Jews who are still alive under the German Occupation are either in concentration and forced labour comps, or in hiding among the Polish population with whom they are fighting in the ranks of the underground movement. Those survivors address to us constant appeals for help and rescue." The solution at this point in the war is that "We must - and our brothers in Poland demand it - we must put such fear into the Germans, that they stop the murders of Jews and all the other people whom they still hold in their weakening clutches." The authors are careful at this point to be clear that they do not see Zionism and the immigration of surviving Jews to Palestine as the goal for survivors and post-War Jewish life. They demand immediate assistance and reparations for survivors, the criminalization of all antisemitic activity, which "should be considered as an attack against the fundamental principles of democracy," and the reconstruction of Jewish life under Socialism, in the countries where Jewish refugees now find themselves or in their countries or origin. "Immigration should be free and should not be regulated according to the nationality or religion of the emigrant. Any attempts at presenting the emigration of Jews as a separate problem and considering it as a means of solving the Jewish question always lead to anti-Jewish discrimination." .PALESTINE. does not offer a solution of the Jewish question. Even if one takes into consideration that millions of Jews have been murdered the present Jewish population of Palestine comprises at the most 5% of the number of Jews all over the world. Palestine does not solve the question of anti-semitism either. The majority of Jews will.…

Jonathan Sarna, in American Judaism, notes that "A liberal Jewish periodical entitled the New Era, initiated in 1870 by Rabbi Raphael De Cordova Lewin, promised to 'advance mankind in true religious knowledge and to unite all God's children in a common bond of brotherhood.' By its third volume, it claimed the second largest circulation 'of any Jewish organ.' (p. 124). A total of 6 volumes were published. The New Era reports on Jewish and larger cultural and scientific concerns of the day from a liberal Jewish perspective. For example, the Journal was important in exposing conditions at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York [For an extensive discussion of Lewin's examination and expose in the pages of The New Era, see Hyman Bogen's "The Luckiest Orphans: A History of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York" (Urbana-Champaign, 1992) ]. Raphael De Cordova Lewin (West Indies, 1844 - New York 1886) studied in London, and then came to the United States, leading Jewish congregations in Shreveport, Louisiana, Savannah, Georgia, and Brooklyn, New York. In addition to "The New Era," he also published a short-lived Jewish monthly in Jamaica ("The Guide."), a weekly ("The Jewish Advocate"), "What is Judaism? " (1870) and other works.

Two works bound in one volume: Psalms and Hymns, Selected for the Dedication of the Synagogue of Manchester. By B. Hyam (Parnas), E. Moses, G. Inderaiah (Building Committee), R. Jacobs, and S. Isaacs. Published in Manchester in 1838. And Seder Ekhot ve-kinot le-Tish'ah be-'Av: 'im kol ha-dinim lel ve- yom Tish'ah be-'Av. Published in Krotoschin by B. L. Monasch in 1860. "The history of the Manchester Jewish community dates from about 1780, when Jews commenced to settle near Shudehill and Long Millgate. The first synagogue was founded by two brothers, Lemon and Jacob Nathan, from Liverpool, where a congregation had recently been organized. Alexander Jacobs [Probably the "A. Jacobs" listed on our title page], became an early president of the Manchester Jews, and in 1804 established their first local charity. It was known as the Manchester Jewish Philanthropic Society.The congregation next worshiped in Ainsworth Court, Long Millgate, removing, in 1824, to Halliwell street, where it erected a synagogue for itself. The Halliwell Street Congregation continued to grow, and in 1858 it removed to Cheetham Hill, where a magnificent place of worship was built, which became known as the 'Great Synagogue' and is now the principal synagogue in Manchester. Prof. S. M. Isaacs of Liverpool [Probably the S. Isaacs listed on our title page]-the first regular English preacher in Great Britain-became preacher of the Great Synagogue in that year, dividing his ministrations between the two cities. In 1838 the Manchester Hebrew Association had founded religious classes, and in 1842, as an outcome of these classes, a Jewish school was established through the instrumentality of Abraham Franklin and his brother Jacob Franklin (subsequently editor of the 'Voice of Jacob'), Philip Lucas (who became the first president), and Eleazar Moses" (Joseph Jacobs, Isidore Harris in EJ, 1906). Eleazar Moses is certainly the "E. Moses" listed as a member of the Building Committee on our title page. The later built Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester was the site of an antisemitic car-ramming and knife attack on October 2, 2025, during Yom Kippur, which resulted in three people dead. The Seder for Tisha B'Av includes the reading of the Lamentation Scroll and the recitation of lamentation poems that lament the destruction of the Temple and the troubles that befell the Jewish people, and are recited on the eve and day of Tisha B'Av according to the customs of the particular community. Interestingly, the title page of Seder Ekhot bares an overstamp: Zu haben in Breslau bei M. Monasch Carlsstraße No. 27 Fechtschule. Zur Messe in Frankfurt in der Bude Richt und-Jüdenst.-Ecke.

1st Soviet Yiddish edition (The only earlier Yiddish edition is Vilna, 1930). Original illustrated paper wrappers, 12mo, 47pages. 14 cm. In Yiddish. Yiddish translation of "The Apostate," Jack London's denunciation of child labor, published here as No. 70 in Moscow publisher Emes' "Masn bibliotek" series. Features a portrait of Jack London on the cover. John Griffith [aka Jack] London (1876-1916) was "A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction." (Wikipedia) "Jack London's journey as a socialist and a writer is a story of dramatic ascent and tragic decline.Born in San Francisco in 1876, probably the illegitimate son of the astrologer William Chaney and the spiritualist Flora Wellman, he rose from exploited wage labourer to the most widely read writer of his generation. His socialism arose from childhood poverty, casual employment, hunger, and back-breaking labour in a cannery, jute mill, and power plant-experiencing the exploitative logic of capitalism firsthand. This education was crystallised during his time as a hobo in 1894. On what he called "The Road," travelling with Coxey's Army and enduring the horrors of the Erie County Penitentiary, London ceased to see himself as an isolated victim. In boxcars and around campfires, he recognised that most wanderers were casualties of social injustice, their numbers growing as capitalism's contradictions deepened. It was here that he first heard people discuss socialism, Karl Marx, and Frederick Engels. A committed member of the Oakland socialist local, he became a regular and unpaid lecturer, renowned for his ability to explain complex economic ideas with clarity and force. His ventures into literature became weapons for the cause. As his fame grew, London leveraged it without compromise. Elected president of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, he embarked on a nationwide lecture tour, telling audiences at Yale and Harvard that revolution was not a distant prospect but an immediate necessity. He simultaneously produced a formidable body of socialist essays, collected in The War of the Classes, alongside polemical short stories such as The Apostate, a devastating account of child labour. London was an incomparable storyteller, whose passionate engagement-whether in sympathy or outrage-spoke directly to his readers, especially ordinary people, many of whom first encountered literature through him. Their hardships were his own, and their hopes for justice his as well. His major body of work.becomes a mirror of a pivotal developmental period in the U.S. nation, establishing Jack London as a pioneering literary figure in realist U.S. prose, whose recognition and influence extend far beyond his homeland" (Farrell, "Jack London at 150: 'The Iron Heel' as the first dystopia of imperialism," 2026).

In 1905 he emigrated to the United States.

Together with Pinchus Kremegne, Henri Epstein, Leo Koenig, Marek Szwarc and Leon Indenbaum, Lichtenstein was one of the artists behind the publication of 'Machmadim' (Precious Ones), a textless Jewish art journal that was first published in 1912.After [World War I], Lichtenstein moved between London, Poland, Paris, and America, where he spent most of his life, reviving the Machmadim Publishing House [the publisher of this work] devoted to the production of artistic Yiddish books" (Ben Uri Gallery).

First edition. Bound in later boards, Folio, various pagination, includes illustrations. 38 cm. In Yiddish. All 52 issues of weekly, London-based, anarchist publication Der Arbayter Fraynd from the year 1911 bound together in cloth. "[Arbayter Fraynd's] founders included social democrats (Marxists), socialists, and anarchists, but by the early 1890s anarchists were the dominant force. They established good working relationships with non-Jewish anarchists both indigenous and emigre, including Charles Mowbray, Peter Kropotkin, Errico Malatesta and Louise Michel. In 1898 the Arbayter Fraynd appointed a German political exile and bookbinder, Rudolf Rocker, to edit the paper. Rocker, brought up in a Catholic orphanage in Mainz, arrived in London in 1895. He soon found out about the sweatshop conditions through his lover, Millie Witkop, a young Ukrainian Jewish immigrant. Rocker learned to read and write Yiddish and dedicated the next period of his life to organising among the immigrant Jews. In 1906, Rocker's Arbayter Fraynd group established the Jubilee Street Club which, in addition to nightly gatherings, held adult education classes inspired by the pedagogy of the Spanish libertarian educationalist, Francisco Ferrer, and ran an anarchist Sunday School for children. The newspaper was printed next door. Between 1898 and 1914 it appeared every week. In 1914 Rocker was interned pending deportation as an 'enemy alien', and in 1916 the government shut down the Arbayter Fraynd among several radical newspapers it suppressed in wartime."
