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)." (YIVO) SUBJECT(S): Socialism. Jewish socialists. OCLC: 122989580. OCLC locates only 3 copies worldwide (YIVO, Harvard, NYBC), none outside the Northeast.

8vo. 66, (2) pp. Original printed wrappers. Scarce Zionist youth movement booklet describing the experience of a summer camp in British Mandate era Palestine, likely to a kibbutz. The kibbutz movement had a long connection with European Jewish youth groups, and such visits would have been encouraged. Such kibbutzim - largely in the form of communal agricultural settlements, though they would later include other industries such as factories - would go on to play a large role in the Zionist movement and the partition of Palestine a decade later. - The booklet is illustrated with four maps, titled "Map of our trip to the sources of the Jordan and the Naftali Mountains", "the Land of Israel in the days of the First Temple", "the Land of Israel in the days of the Second Temple", and one which labels the "mandate area" and "the territory of the proposed Jewish state". - Wrappers somewhat worn, otherwise in good condition. - OCLC 53243596.…

A key document of early Zionist history - the official protocol of the First Zionist Congress in Bazel. The publication of Herzl's "The Jewish State" in 1896 provided the blueprint for modern Zionism. Later, the World Zionist Movement became the force to drive the practical issues and implement Herzl's plan. The Congress was the Parliament of the Zionist Movement and the first Jewish representative political assembly. The first Zionist Congress held on the 29-31 of August 1897 was a landmark in Zionist and Jewish History, and one of the seminal moments in modern Jewish history. First edition; 8vo (22.5 x 15.5 cm), contemporary cloth-backed boards partially detached, library stamps, title professionally restored, pages browned, a few small marginal tears; text in German; [2], 200 pp.…

One page, 4to, sl. dusty and dulled, fold marks, but text clear and complete, as follows: "Dear Adler, I cannot remember whether "Lord of the World" was published for the first time in "Blind Children" or not, but at any rate it would be impossible for the pirates to know any more than I do. It is very probable also that I asked Funk and Wagnall's permission.".…

A file copy of a letter from E. D. Goitein, the lawyer for 34 detainees imprisoned in Acre, to Lieutenant-General George Giffard, the general officer commanding at Force Headquarters in Jerusalem. Goitein questions the conduct of the trial and the evidence used for conviction (documents "more stupid than dangerous"). The prisoners were all linked to a training course held in 1939 at Mishmar HaYarden. Their arrest was part of a British clampdown, following the outbreak of the Second World War, on any threats to stability in Palestine. 2 sheets (330 x 210 mm), each with duplicated typescript one side only. Both sheets hole-punched top right, creasing and old signs of handling: very good.…

Berlin: [Siegfried Scholem for] Keren Hajessod (Judisches Palastinawerk), [1923]. Small 8vo. Publisher's printed wrappers with pocket to rear wrapper, front cover with map of Jezreel Valley; loosely inserted 8-pp. pamphlet and 16 loosely inserted photographic plates by Zipporah David; crude tape repair to interior spine of wrappers, a few chips to extremities of wrappers not affecting text; light toning to pamphlet; else very well preserved.A rare and very early ephemeral publication documenting the progress of Kibbutz Ein Harod - the first large Kibbutz to be established in Mandatory Palestine - produced two years after the acquisition of the land as part of the Sursock Purchase.Ein Harod was founded near the village of Nuris in 1921 by members of the Third Aliyah, largely Eastern European Jews. The pamphlet describes Jewish labourers arriving in the previously 'uncultivated and swampy' area (trans.) and reproduces a letter from workers in the nearby kibbutz of Heftziba, founded in 1922 by Jewish migrants from Germany and Czechoslovakia. The development of the kibbutz described here was 'made possible largely by means of machinery, equipment, and workshops procured with funds from the German branch of Keren Hayesod' (trans.). The pamphlet describes budgetary constraints, economic and sanitary concerns, the draining of the swampland (including the construction of a water pipeline following the closure of the Arab irrigation canal), the creation of a vegetable garden, a list of newly erected buildings with their dimensions, and inventory of machinery and vehicles. This report was produced for Keren Hayesod, the fundraising organisation for the State of Israel founded in 1920 at the World Zionist Congress in London. Keren Hayesod was headquartered in London until 1926, when it relocated to Jerusalem; among its supporters were Chaim Weizmann and Ze'ev Jabotinsky, as well as Albert Einstein, who travelled to the United States with Weizmann in 1921 to raise funds to establish the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with the support of Keren Hayesod. The photographs are by Zipporah David (1882-1936), who in April 1926 would photograph the famous open-air fundraising concert by violinist Jascha Heifetz, held in a stone quarry at Ein Harod. OCLC locates only two copies in the US, at Harvard and Yeshiva University; not on Library Hub.…

8vo. 1 p. Printed letterhead Neue Freie Presse [] Wien". Interesting theatrical letter concerning revisions to one of Herzl's dramatic works and a recommendation for the Vienna stage.Addressed to "Herrn Raeder", evidently connected with the Raimundtheater in Vienna, Herzl forwards a final revision to a manuscript and requests that the corrected passage be entered into the theatre's promptbook:"Erlauben Sie, dass ich Sie noch mit der beiliegenden kleinen Schlussänderung belästige. Das kleine Manuscript dieser Aenderung erbitte nach erfolgter Einzeichnung ins Soufflierbuch per Post zurück."("Allow me to trouble you once more with the enclosed small alteration to the ending. I should be grateful if the manuscript of this amendment could be returned to me by post after it has been entered into the promptbook.")At the same time, Herzl draws Raeder's attention to another theatrical work, translated and adapted by his friend, the distinguished Anglo-Jewish scholar Leon Kellner (18591928):"Gleichzeitig übersende ich Ihnen ein sehr interessantes Stück aus dem Englischen, das mein Freund Professor Leon Kellner bearbeitet hat. Ich empfehle es der Aufmerksamkeit des Raimundtheaters."("At the same time, I am sending you a very interesting play from the English, adapted by my friend Professor Leon Kellner. I commend it to the attention of the Raimundtheater.")The letter dates from a period when Herzl continued to pursue literary and dramatic projects alongside his growing political activities. Before becoming the leading spokesman of the Zionist movement, he had established himself as a successful journalist and playwright in Vienna, and he maintained close connections with the theatrical world throughout his life. Leon Kellner, professor of English language and literature at the University of Vienna and one of Herzl's closest associates, was likewise active in literary translation and cultural affairs.A fine and uncommon letter illustrating Herzl's continued engagement with the Viennese stage, combining practical theatrical business with a personal recommendation on behalf of a trusted friend. Written on the stationery of the influential Neue Freie Presse, where Herzl served as one of the paper's leading journalists and feuilletonists.…

First edition, rare in commerce, of this pamphlet attacking Amin al-Husseini and his "Arab reign of terror" in Palestine, as well as the stultifying effect of violence on the economic prospects of the broad Arab population. The publisher, the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, positions itself as an ally of ordinary Arab residents. "The 'full, frank and free' expression of the Arab people is possible only when the terrorism has been finally liquidated. Only then is a reconciliation possible between Jews and Arabs; only then can they meet in an atmosphere of peace, and formulate a policy based on each other's mutual interests" (p. 11). Octavo, pp. 16. Original printed self-wrappers, wire-stitched as issued. Wrappers toned and with couple of stains: very good. …

11 numbers, 4tos in printed self-wrappers, stapled. "Jewish Committee for Political Studies" was a Zionist-oriented group of intellectuals established by the sociologist Gottfried Salomon and the journalist Siegfried Thalheimer. It advocated an independent state for the Jewish people, but had reservations about it being established in Palestine. Salomon, a student of Georg Simmel and protegé of Martin Buber, was professor of sociology at the University Frankfurt. He was forced out of his position by the Nazis and fled Germany, ending up in Paris on the faculty of the Sorbonne. Thalheimer published anti-Nazi papers in Germany and was soon blacklisted and forced into exile, also landing in Paris. "Ordo" was short-lived with the start of the war. Thalheimer was arrested as a German citizen but released. In 1941 both he and Salomon were aided by the American Emergency Rescue Committee led by Varian Fry to escape from occupied France by way of Spain. Salomon became a professor at the New School for Social Research and Thalheimer made a living as an art dealer before returning to Germany after the war. Wear and chipping to wrappers, edges - especially in the first number; exceedingly fragile.…
