Influenced by Heinrich Heine whom he translated into Yiddish he was one of the first Yiddish poets to make use of folksong material.

All Important Questions and Answers Printed in Hebrew and Yiddish Also Translations in Plain English Which You are to Know When Applying for Your Final Citizen Papers. Brooklyn: Aroysgegeben fun Isidor Schwartz / Published by Isidor Schwartz n.d. after 1912. Only edition. 31 page. Text in English and Yiddish both transliterated and Hebrew script. 6" x 4.5. Stapled pamphlet in printe wrappers.<br /> <br /> An immigrant-era Yiddish-English naturalization guide for Jewish immigrants preparing to become U.S. citizens published by Isidor Schwartz in Brooklyn. This vernacular instructional manual contains sample questions and answers in three formats: English Yiddish in Hebrew script and transliterated English in Latin script referred to on the cover as "Jewish-English". Designed for oral preparation it walks new arrivals through both general and localized questions commonly asked at the naturalization interview particularly for applicants in New York. Questions range from general American civics-"How does a bill become a law"-to specific regional knowledge-"What is the capital of New York State" and "How many stars has the American flag" The answer is noted as "Forty-eight stars" dating the publication to after Arizona and New Mexico's 1912 admission but before Alaska and Hawaii. The phrasing used-"We vote for the candidate who is in our opinion best fitted to occupy the office he wishes to be elected to"-illustrates the pamphlet's focus on simplified phonetic civic literacy.<br /> <br /> A vital artifact of Jewish immigrant life and Americanization in the early 20th century this pamphlet exemplifies how Jewish community publishers mediated state bureaucracies for recent arrivals. Yiddish language guides like this one offered more than instruction-they were part of the infrastructure of mutual aid and cultural transition particularly within New York's dense immigrant communities.<br /> <br /> Fragile condition with moderate chipping and edgewear to front and rear wrappers including some closed tears and loss at corners; interior pages clean and legible.

The city had hosted numerous similar rallies over the previous decade all focused on building opposition to Hitler and support for the struggling Jews of Europe. <br> <br> Beginning on March 4 1934 "One year after Hitler's ascension to power in Germany tens of thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear the words of Rabbi Stephen Wise. 'Despite the oceanic tragedy which has befallen us' Wise pronounced 'we Jews tonight joining in the chorus of civilization indict Hitlerism as humans as members of civilized society before the high court of human judgment.' <br> Wise's words resonated for audience members attending the rally that March night. Over the course of the evening they heard from a chorus of voices representing the American public self-identifying across different racial religious and ideological lines. Framed as a 'court' the speakers at the rally gathered to indict Hitler for his crimes against civilization an intentionally pointed term that would offend Nazi ideologues claiming to protect civilization through Aryan supremacy. This mock trial was part of a larger trend of American Jewish protest performances staged during the Third Reich that intended to garner support for the rescue of European Jews.<br> On March 27 the AJCongress American Jewish Congress successfully staged a rally titled Stop Hitler Now to an audience of twenty thousand Jews in Madison Square Garden. Outside of the Garden thirty-five thousand people stood protesting and ten thousand more marched through Brooklyn in solidarity. Simultaneous protests also occurred in major cities across the country. The United Press estimated that one million protesters participated in the nationwide demonstration that day. <br> In retaliation to the American uproar Hitler threatened a one-day boycott against German Jewish businesses to be resumed three days later if 'international protests' did not cease. Wise after speaking with Undersecretary William Phillips at the State Department agreed to a brief silence on the matter" Gonzalez Maya.

That same year the appearance of Fefer’s small collection Shpener Splinters established him as a rising literary star. His poetry amalgamated the Kultur-lige poets’ revolutionary romanticism with the propagandist objectives of the workers’ movement.<br> Fefer was known for his literary credo of proste reyd simple speech a concept he formulated in 1922. In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals. This phenomenon worried editors and critics who were wary of the fact that Yiddish readers usually could not identify with this style of literature. All Yiddish readers by contrast could understand Fefer’s proste reyd.<br> In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature.

From Morris Rosenfeld 3. 2nd i.e. 3 of Feb 1913.†<br> “Rosenfeld known as the ‘Poet Laureate of Labor’ was a pioneer of Yiddish poetry in the US. Born in Russian Poland he came to New York by way of London in 1889 and worked as a presser in a sweatshop. His sweatshop songs were often sung by Jewish workers in factories and at mass meetings. Moshe Starkman notes in the EJ that when his Lider-Bukh ‘The Book of Songs’ 1897 was translated in 1898 by Leo Wiener under the title Songs from the Ghetto his fame spread to non-Yiddish circles. Starkman also notes that ‘his proletarian poems and national songs stirred the Jewish masses during their early struggles in the New World and at the beginning of the Jewish national renascence’ sic. Aaron Kramer notes as well that ‘Of all Yiddish poets Morris Rosenfeld alone.was acknowledged by the non-Jewish literary world as a notable singer;’ Wiener's translation of Songs from the Ghetto ‘immediately established Rosenfeld's reputation among America's literati.†EJ 1971 14: 285-286; Kramer trans: The Teardrop Millionaire and Other Poems 1955.<br> Mark Shveyd Schweid 1891-1969 to whom Rosenfeld inscribed this copy was a “playwright poet translator and artist born in Warsaw.

In 1911 he emigrated to the United States performed in New York’s Yiddish theaters and from 1921 was one of the principal artists in Maurice Schwartz’s Yiddish Art Theater.

190942930New York: Ferlag "Kibets 1909. 1st Edition. Original publisher’s binding Folio newspaper. Complete first volume Starting with Vol I Nr 1 of “Der Kibitser†Dec. 15 1908 renamed and renumbered first as Vol I Nr 1 Jan 22 1909 of “Der Groyser Kibetser The big kibetzer†with the following issue of Feb 5 numbered as "3" to correctly follow from the first issue and then with Vol I Nr 6 March 19 1909 onward as “Der Groyser Kundes The Big Stick†or “The Big Prankster.†Incidentally the other set of this volume we examined also did not have a Nr 2 so we are confident this is complete as issued. <br> One centerfold cartoon by Zuni Maud see image features "Der Kaptialistisher Tayfel"--the Capitalist Devil–holding back a "mother" by the hair to stop her from interfering as "baby's milk-bottle" is drained off by the "milk-trust" cat. <br> The caption reads "The Capitalist Devil: - to the mother: Never mind madam all in English in Hebrew letters you go to the factory the milk-trust will take good care of your baby."<br> This cartoon-laden periodical was a New York City Yiddish language satirical bi- weekly which ran from 1908 until 1927.<br> The humor paper was issued biweekly this volume for its first 20 months and then weekly after that. OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. <br> Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. <br> Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales. Der Groyer Kunds is highlighted in this recent talk by Yiddish comics scholar Eddie Portnoy on the reactions in the Yiddish press to restrictions on Jewish immigration to the US: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/archival-recordings/recorded- programs/ybcr-nybc-ybcr-1048/door-slams-shut-reactions-yiddish-press-immigr ation .<br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish wit and humor -- Periodicals.
