1st edition thus. Later paper wrappers, 12mo, 24 leaves, 155:90 mm. In Yiddish, with title also transliterated on title page ("Hanoges Odom"). Title translates as, The Book of Man's Leadership: ... How Every Jew Should Conduct Himself All His Days From Early to Evening ... and Many Laws. Proper daily behavior for Jews. Contains Kabbalistic customs and practices based on the teachings of the Ari. The text includes detailed descriptions of the halakhot and customs of the Ari for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, and daily occasions.Although published anonymously, this appears to be similar to the work of Rabbi Meir ben Judah Leib Poppers (died 1662). He was a kabbalist of Ashkenazi descent who was active in Jerusalem after 1640. A pupil of Rabbi Jacob Zemah, he became the last editor of the Lurianic writings. He divided the mass of Rabbi Vital's different versions of Rabbi Luria's teachings into three parts, Derekh Ez Hayyim, Peri Ez Hayyim, and Nof Ez Hayyim. Rabbi Poppers' version became the one in most widespread use in Poland and Germany. After 1640 he composed a large number of his own kabbalistical writings in the vein of Lurianic Kabbalah. They are said to have comprised 39 books, each of which contained the word or ("light") in its title, the entire corpus being called Kokhevei Or. Several parts have been preserved (Ms. Jerusalem no. 101, Ms. Rabbi Alter of Gur no. 170). They included commentaries on Sefer Bahir, on Nahmanides' Torah commentary, on the Zohar, and on Luria's writings according to his own edition (Ms. Jerusalem no. 102). In the latter manuscript Poppers reports that he had studied Rabbi Luria's writings for 17 years. Only two of these books have been published, this work and Or Zaddikim (Hamburg, 1690), written in Jerusalem in 1643, and later incorporated in Rabbi Moses Katz's compilation, Or ha-Yashar (Amsterdam, 1709); and Me'orei Or, a dictionary of kabbalistic symbolism, published with copious notes by Jacob Vilna and Nathan Neta Mannheim under the title Me'orot Natan (Frankfurt, 1709). In addition, Mesillot Hokhmah, a booklet summarizing Lurianic metaphysics in 32 paragraphs, later published under Rabbi Poppers' name (Shklov, 1785), was first printed anonymously (Wandsbeck, c. 1700). Rabbi Poppers is credited with the authorship of a graphic description and summary of the Lurianic system, in the form of a scroll, published under the title Ilan ha-Gadol (1864). This tree, however, shows the distinct influence of Rabbi Israel Sarug's version of Lurianism, which is not to be found in Poppers' other writings. Part of his homilies on the Torah were published as Tal Orot (1911). He mentions as his teachers one Rabbi Israel Ashkenazi and his father-in-law, Azariah Ze'evi (probably from Hebron). During the 1650s Poppers spent about two years in Constantinople. He died in Jerusalem. (EJ, 2007). SUBJECT(S): Jewish ethics. OCLC: 233362307.

Hardback. 8vo. 671 pages. 23 cm. First edition. In Hebrew. Added title page: The "He-Halutz" movement in Poland, 1917-1929. The He-Haluts was a Zionist pioneering movement in Poland. The founders of He-? Aluts believed that no political or propaganda accomplishment would benefit Zionism in the long run unless it were complemented by deeds of personal fulfillment, which became a primary objective in the organizations overall ideology. In other words, to actually implement the principles of He-? Aluts, the individual was expected both to identify with the Histadrut (Labor Federation) and to live on a cooperative kibbutz in Palestine. On an ideological level, the basic foundations of the He-? Aluts movement were consolidated in 1917. Based on a combination of universal socialist and nationalist concepts, they drew ideological influence from the Tseire Tsiyon party. He-? Aluts continued to evolve in Russia even after the change of regime. The fundamentals of agricultural training farms and links with the budding kibbutz movement in Palestine were laid down. The Fourth Aliyah (19241929) marked the first test of the populist concept, since at the time of the Third Aliyah (19191923) the previous immigration waveHe-? Aluts had still been in an amorphous ideological phase and had been a marginal factor in Diaspora public affairs. When He-? Aluts held its world conference in 1923, the movement numbered only 7, 000 registered members, but membership increased to tens of thousands within a year and a half. This massive growth led to a change in the organizations social structure. High-school students and middle-class youth were now replaced with thousands of working-class youngsters and unemployed individuals, including members of Zionist Socialist parties.

1st edition. Paper Wrappers, 8vo, aprox. 48 pages each issue. Monthly, originally beginning with No. 1 (Febru'ar 1941) . 25 cm. In Yiddish. Nrs. 110/111, 239, 240, 311/312 (70th birthday of the Bund, special issue), 317, 327, 384, 386, 387, 394, 395, 433, 435, 436, 476, 592/593, 1978 (Nrs. 10, 11/12) 1979 (Nr 12), 1987 (Nr. 10-"90 yor Bund" special issue). The monthly journal of the Bund in America, here providing its unique Polish Jewish Socialist anti-Zionist perspective. The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: algemeyner yidisher arbeter-bund in lite, poyln un rusland), generally called The Bund or the Jewish Labour Bund, was a secular Jewish socialist party.... founded in Vilnius on October 7, 1897 ..In 1917 the Polish part of the Bund, which dated to the times when Poland was a Russian territory, seceded from the Russian Bund and created a new Polish General Labor Bund which continued to operate in Poland in the years between the two world wars .The Bund sought to unite all Jewish workers in the Russian Empire into a united socialist party, and also to ally itself with the wider Russian social democratic movement to achieve a democratic and socialist Russia. The Russian Empire then included Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and most of present-day Poland, areas where the majority of the world's Jews then lived. They hoped to see the Jews achieve a legal minority status in Russia. Of all Jewish political parties of the time, the Bund was the most progressive regarding gender equality, with women making up more than one-third of all members. The Bund actively campaigned against anti-Semitism. It defended Jewish civil and cultural rights and rejected assimilation. However, the close promotion of Jewish sectional interests and support for the concept of Jewish national unity (klal yisrael) was prevented by the socialist universalism of the Bund. The Bund avoided any automatic solidarity with Jews of the middle and upper classes and generally rejected political cooperation with Jewish groups that held religious, Zionist or conservative views. Even the anthem of the Bund, known as "the oath" (di shvue in Yiddish), written in 1902 by Sh. An-ski, contained no explicit reference to Jews or Jewish suffering. At the heart of the vision of the future of the Bund was the idea that there is no contradiction between the national aspect on the one hand and the socialist aspect on the other. As a strictly secular organization, the Bund renounced the Holy Land and the sacred language (Hebrew) and chose to speak Yiddish .In its early years the Bund had remarkable success, gaining an estimated 30,000 members in 1903 and an estimated 40,000 supporters in 1906, making it the largest socialist group in the Russian Empire . the Bund was a founding collective member at the RSDLP's first congress in Minsk in March 1898. For the next 5 years, the Bund was recognized as the sole representative of the Jewish workers in the RSDLP, although many Russian socialists of Jewish descent, especially outside of the Pale of Settlement, joined the RSDLP directly .The Bund generally sided with the party's Menshevik faction led by Julius Martov and against the Bolshevik faction led by Vladimir Lenin during the factional struggles in the run-up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 .In the Polish areas of the [Russian] empire, the Bund was a leading force in the 1905 revolution. At that time the organization probably reached the height of its influence. It called for an improvement in living standards, a more democratic political system and the introduction of equal rights for Jews. At least in the early stages of the first Russian Revolution, the armed groups of the "Bund" were likely the strongest revolutionary force in Western Russia. During the following years, the Bund went into a period of decay .The Bund eventually came to strongly oppose Zionism, arguing that emigration to Palestine was a form of escapism. The Bund did not advocate separatism. Instead, it focused on culture, rather than a state or a place, as the glue of Jewish nationalism. . The Bund also promoted the use of Yiddish as a Jewish national language and to some extent opposed the Zionist project of reviving Hebrew. The Bund won converts mainly among Jewish artisans and workers, but also among the growing Jewish intelligentsia. It led a trade union movement of its own. It joined with the Poalei Zion (Labour Zionists) and other groups to form self-defense organisations to protect Jewish communities against pogroms and government troops. During the Russian Revolution of 1905 the Bund headed the revolutionary movement in the Jewish towns, particularly in Belarus and Ukraine ..In 1921, the Communist Bund [in the USSR] dissolved itself and its members sought admission to the Communist Party....Many former Bundists, like Mikhail Liber and David Petrovsky, perished during Stalin's purges in the 1930s. The Polish Bundists continued their activities until 1948. During the latter half of the 20th century the Bundist legacy was represented through the International Jewish Labor Bund, a federation of local Bundist groups around the world .Among the exiled Bundists who went on with Socialist politics in America was Baruch Charney Vladeck (18861938), elected to the New York Board of Aldermen as a Socialist in 1917 [and] 1937 [and] manager of The Jewish Daily Forward Moishe Lewis (18881950)....the father of David Lewis (19091981), a leader of the New Democratic Party in Canada .David Dubinsky (18921982), though never formally a member of the party, had joined the bakers' union, which was controlled by the Bund, and was elected assistant secretary within the union by 1906 ..He later became a member of the Socialist Party of America, helped found the American Labor Party in 1936 and was from 1932 till 1966 the leader of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union ..under the name Max Goldfarb, David Petrovsky (18861937) was a member of the Central Committee of the Jewish Socialist Federation of America, a member of the Socialist Party of America, and the labor editor of The Forward (Wikipedia).
