Title translates to Sixteen: A Collection of End Compositions of Sixteen Graduate of the Shalom Aleichem Elementary School in Chicago. Rare collection of elementary-age writings from secular-Yiddish Chicago but published in Warsaw. Yiddish schools in America were always supplemental schools, meeting several times a week after public schools. This was a major difference between the Yiddish schools in Poland which were, if chosen by the parents, the primary day school of the child, and the Yiddish schools in America which never developed a single Yiddish day school. On the political spectrum of the Yiddish cultural world in the 1920s and 1930s, the Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute and its schools, and the Yiddish camp, Camp Boiberik, were more to the right, with less emphasis on socialism and more stress on the humanistic values that can be learned from traditional Judaism and applied to the modern Jewish experience. Founded in 1918, the Institute lasted until the 1970s, and was a national movement which attained its greatest support in the 1930s (UTexas, 2017) .

Later quarter leather and boards. 12mo. [114] pages. 18 cm. Metaphysical disquisitions in the form of a commentary on Exod. 23: 20. Followed by the author's Tsurot ha-yesodot. 'Ateret Zekenim (Crown of the Ancients) , first published 1557; written by Isaac Abravanel; statesman and Bible commentator, son of the Portuguese treasurer, Dom Judah, was born in the year 1437 at Lisbon, and died at Venice in 1508. He was buried in Padua. In like manner Abravanel exceeded all his predecessors in combating Maimonides' theory of the Heavenly Chariot in Ezekiel ('Ateret Zekenim, xxiv. , and commentary on the Moreh, part iii. 71-74, ed. Warsaw) . Indeed the most noteworthy feature of all Abravanel's philosophical disquisitions is the success with which he demonstrates the weak points in the Maimonidean system. (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia; Abravanel) . Printed at the Amsterdam Ashkenazic Press of Solomon Proops: The Hebrew press at Amsterdam had become entirely dominated by mercantile considerations, and was represented by the publishing- and printing-houses of Solomon ben Joseph Proops, whose printed catalogue Appiryon Shelomoh, 1730 (the first known of its kind) , shows works published by him to be mainly rituals and a few responsa, two editions of the 'En Ya'akob, the Hobot ha-Lebabot, and the Menorat ha-? A'or, two editions of the Zohar (1715) , and the Judæo-German Ma'asehbuch. Proops was evidently adapting himself to the popular taste from 1697 onward. The house established by him continued to exist down to the middle of the nineteenth century, Joseph and Jacob and Abraham being members thereof from 1734 until about 1780. They were followed by Solomon ben Abraham Proops in 1799, while a David ben Jacob Proops, the last of the family, died in 1849, and his widow sold the business to I. Levisson.

1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. Single fold pamphlet, 4 ipages ; 28 cm. While Rabbi Browne does not completely answer all of his tabloid-inspired questions, this piece offers a rare glimpse into one of the largest political scandals in New York Citys history. William Sulzer (1863 1941) was an American lawyer and politician, nicknamed Plain Bill Sulzer. He was the 39th Governor of New York and a long-serving congressman from the same state. He was the first and so far only New York governor to be impeached. He broke with his sponsors at Tammany Hall, and they produced convincing evidence that Sulzer had falsified his sworn statement of campaign expenditures. (Wikipedia, 2016) Brownes claim that he made Sulzer The Pet of the East Side Jews is interesting given the context of Sulzers 1912 gubernatorial campaign. Sulzer ran against Oscar S. Straus, who was the first Jewish United States Cabinet Secretary and who would have been the first Jewish Governor of New York. The Maccabaean (the Federation of American Zionist Magazine) reported that Louis Marshall went out of his way to advise to advise Jewish voters to support William Sulzer for Governor in preference to Oscar S. Straus. The reason he gave for asking Jewish support for Mr. Sulzer was that Mr. Sulzer deserved Jewish consideration for what he had done for the abrogation of the Russian treaty. This was a wholly uncalled for attempt to aid in the defeat of the Jewish candidate for the governorship of the largest state in the Union, and was generally resented in Jewish circles Browne dedicates this tell-all pamphlet to the hon. Aaron J. Levy The Brilliant Lawyer, The Wise Statesman, and above all The Genuine Jew. Levy was chairman of the managers on behalf of the Assembly (i. E. The prosecution team) at the impeachment trial of Governor William Sulzer (Wikipedia, 2016) Published months after Sulzers impeachment. OCLC lists no copies anywhere.

1st edition thus. Original illustrated cloth, Small 8vo, [43] Hebrew + [42] German pages. With 39 woodcut historiated initials and lithograph etchings. Yudlov 2822; Not in Yaari. Joseph Budko (1888-1940) , was a "painter and graphic artist. Budko, who was born in Plonsk, received a traditional Jewish education. In 1902 he went to study at the art school in Vilna. In 1910 Budko moved to Berlin where he learned metal-chasing and also studied at the Museum of Arts and Crafts. In Berlin Budko met Hermann Struck who taught him the technique of etching. Eventually he also took up woodcutting, lithography, and painting. In 1933 Budko settled in Palestine. In 1935 he became the director of the reopened New Bezalel school of arts and crafts. Budko stressed the teaching of graphic design and utilized the ornamental value of the Hebrew letters. Budko's subject matter was determined by the Jewish environment in which he grew up and to which he returned in Jerusalem. Budko developed a style that combined the personal with the Jewish, being a synthesis of Jewish tradition and modern art. He also revived the spirit of Jewish book illustration, adapting it to modern design. Among the books he illustrated are the Haggadah, and he designed many bookplates. " (2007 Encyclopedia Judaica) . "Joseph Budkos Haggadah, 1921, skillfully integrated the Hebrew text with illustrations. Budko was thought to be withdrawn and outwardly cold, but his art was warm in a style that permitted a melding of tradition with modernism, slavery with redemption. His [illustration of a] faceless Jew trudges alone through history from a callous past to an unknowable future, moving over a snow-lined path, half-frozen, but determined and defiant. No signs or wonders for him - he knows he must make it on his own. " (Harris, "The way Jews lived: five hundred years of printed words and images, p. 353) . Yaari 1913; Yudlov 2821.
