1st edition. Later boards. 8vo. 40, 34 pages. 18 cm. In Hebrew and German. Title translates to Melodies of Israel after the Destruction. Frankl ( 1810-1894) was a famous Austrian-Jewish poet. He took part in the revolution of 1848, and his poems on liberty had considerable vogue. His lyrics are among his best work.

Period boards. 8vo, 44 pages, 17 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to: The Reading of the Torah: For Explaining the Root of Reading and Its Use...with Beer Rehovot Letter. Explanation of the root of Kara and how it was used by the sages in the Talmud. The title page states that it will explain their intent in a clear language and explain the subject of yesh aim le-Mikra and aim le-Messorah, that is, whether a verse is to be understood as it is written or as it is read. It also addresses other issues in the Talmud built upon the structure of the Hebrew language. There are approbations from Rabbi Akiva Eger and from Rabbi Simha Wiel. An apologia from the author follows, and then the text, in a single column in rabbinic type. It begins with introductory material and continues, in the order of issues in the Talmud. After the discourses based on the Talmud is a strong refutation (33a-44b) on modifications to the accepted liturgy in the book Iggeret beit Tefillah by Isaac Satanof (1732-1804) . The latter was a Haskalah writer, who, in his book, classified every word that he explained as either "Hebrew" or "talmudic, " and proceeded to clarify this question at other opportunities as well. Satanof attempted to break out of the strict framework of biblical style, although he himself was very adept in the biblical style called melizah. Hence he demanded that new words be coined; in Iggeret Beit Tefillah he complains that the vocabulary of biblical Hebrew had not preserved its great lexical range. Rabbi Coeslin was also the author of Mesilol bedikduk Loshon ha-Kodesh. SUBJECTS: Masorah. Hebrew language -- Lexicography. Hebrew language -- Lexicography. Masorah. OCLC lists 9 copies worldwide.

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.

17686'No. 2. Bon-Accord Rhymes and Ballads. Aberdeen: George Middleton Skene Square. 1878. Smith's entry in the Oxford DNB explains the background to this pamphlet explaining that he was 'commissioned to write some articles on biblical subjects for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the first two of these appeared in 1875—‘Angel’ in volume 2 and ‘Bible’ in volume 3. These articles marked a turning point in his career. The Bible was regarded by the Free Church of Scotland as ‘the supreme rule of faith and life’ and so anything that might seem to undermine its authority was bound to arouse opposition. An investigation by the college committee of the Free Church found that Smith's opinions as expressed in the article ‘Bible’ were hardly compatible with his position as a teacher of candidates for the ministry of the church but provided insufficient grounds to support a process for heresy. Smith maintained that he accepted that the Bible was the one sufficient and authoritative record of divine revelation and that his critical views were the fruit of studies carried out under the guidance of his teachers at New College Edinburgh. He therefore demanded that he be given a formal trial by libel indictment for his alleged heresies and errors. In the subsequent protracted proceedings in the various church courts Smith by sheer dialectical skill was able to beat back the attack on all points except the authorship and purpose of Deuteronomy. The libel proceedings were eventually terminated but a vote of no confidence in Smith was passed by the general assembly of 1881 and was followed by his summary removal from his chair.' 8pp. 12mo.
