1st edition. Original boards. 8vo. 690, 16 pages. 23 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates to The New Life. A complete second year of this important Yiddish monthly. Zhitlowsky, an immigrant socialist revolutionary, sought to synthesize socialism with nationalism as early as 1883. He demanded for Jews "national equal rights with all peoples" and asserted that only through the Yiddish language could the social and national revival of the Jewish people be effected. He maintained that one could remain identified with the Jewish nationality even if abandoning the Jewish religion. He urged the Jewish masses to participate in the class struggle as a national unit. Alone among the cosmopolitan Jewish socialists he favored national socialism. In 1897 he began publishing philosophical studies in Jewish history and a comprehensive program of action which later appeared in book form as Pisma o starom I novom yevreystvie ("Letters on Old and Modern Judaism, " 1907) . His main thesis was that national consciousness consists mainly of spiritual-cultural determinants and that these national characteristics can be maintained by the Jews in the future in the lands of their dispersion, just as they have survived the lack of territory or unity of language since the end of the second commonwealth. After emancipation of the individual the Jews as a group should be granted national self-government within the framework of the state along with other national minorities. His secularization of the national idea as opposed to those who saw the essence of Judaism in religion, and his optimistic view of the future of Judaism in the Diaspora, were the main underpinnings of his insistence on national cultural autonomy. Zhitlowsky was "in favor of the centrality of Yiddish in the national Jewish experience and labored toward the recognition of that language, and of those who lived out their lives in it, as one of the several cultural linguistic communities of Eastern Europe, and of the Western world as a whole" (Isaac Levitas, et al, in EJ) . Ex-library with usual, minimal markings. Some wear to boards. Binding repaired. Contents clear. Good+ Condition. (YID-30-9)

Original wraps. 8vo. 133, [2] pages. 24 cm. First edition. In German, with some Hebrew. 'On Botany in the Talmud. ' Wraps list: Pest, 1871, Selbstverlag der Verfassers (self-published by the author) ; however title page lists 1870. Treatise on botanic science in the Talmud written by Rabbi Moritz Duschak (1815-1890) ; Austrian rabbi and author. He was a pupil in Talmud of R. Moses Sofer of Presburg, and was for a long time rabbi at Gaya, Moravia. In 1877 he became preacher in Cracow and teacher of religion at the gymnasium of that city. He was a modern preacher and the author of works in the German language. Although engaged to deliver his sermons at the Temple, his sympathies were mostly with the old-style Orthodox people of the 'Klaus, ' who could better appreciate his Talmudical knowledge. His position as preacher was thus somewhat anomalous; and after several years' service he left Cracow and settled in Vienna, where he spent his last days in neglect and disappointment. - 1906 JE.

brossura Il Re Lear di William Shakespeare andato in scena al Teatro Ebraico di Stato di Mosca (Goset) nel 1935 è un episodio fondamentale quanto poco conosciuto della cultura del Novecento. Gli attoriautori del Goset, in particolare Solomon Michoels nella magistrale interpretazione del vecchio re e Veniamin Zuskin, un Fool straordinario, guidati dal regista Sergej Radlov, realizzarono uno spettacolo da porre al vertice dell'arte scenica e attorica yiddish nella sua versione sovietica. In queste pagine si propone ai lettori di oggi la ricostruzione e l'analisi di una messinscena che ci permette di riflettere su un atto creativo e poetico talmente potente, per quanto basato su un "classico" inoffensivo, da innescare la feroce reazione del regime stalinista. L'esito della vicenda qui raccontata fu tragico, ma "rivedere" e riflettere su questa peculiare messinscena del testo shakespeariano permette di cogliere a distanza di tanti anni la straordinaria vitalità e attualità del "mistero del teatro". In appendice è presentato in traduzione italiana il testo di Solomon Michoels Il mio lavoro sul "Re Lear" di Shakespeare, testimonianza di una cultura teatrale che a un secolo di distanza sembra prefigurare un teatro poetico ancora da venire.

Hefty tome detailing this heavily (though not exclusively) Jewish & Italian Union's first 12 years--organizing, strikes, allies, etc. The union, officially founded in 1914, had its roots in the massive 1910 strike in Chicago (against Hart, Schaffner, & Marx) , primarily led at the shop floor level by Jewish and Italian women, at the top by Sidney Hillman, and aided by Jane Addams and the Women's Trade Union League. The union was condemned by Sam Gompers as a breakaway from the craft-organized (and largely nativist) United Garment Workers of the AFL, and became leaders of a "new unionism" that included the development of unemployment insurance, cooperative housing, labor banking, & consumer cooperatives.
