WWII: JudaicaABAA

Diary of a Jewish Chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces

194424192Halifax 1944-1945. Hardcover. Very good. 4to. Commercial ruled journal. Textured black leather boards heavily scuffed with tears and some loss to spine ends. Backstrip attached but fragile. All edges marbled. Handwriting in pen and some pencil to approximately one half of the pages; 67 closely written pages in total. Approx. 10000 words /-. Neat and meticulous handwritten daily journal written by a Halifax rabbi serving as chaplain for the Canadian armed forces: for one recorded service "42 soldiers present. 1 airman. Did not have chance to notify Air Force nor Navy re: Services." Beginning in September 1944 and ending in May 1945 the author records his public activities and services at the Robie St. Synagogue and elsewhere e.g.: served as cantor but unsatisfied with his own singing; only cake & coffee at the Purim social -- "Hamentaschen didn't arrive"; his advice and counsel to individual soldiers "Spoke to Major Lyons re Victor Morgan / promised to get him transferred so he can study Hebrew"; and the occasional purely personal note "Deanna Durbin is still tops." The journal's author names many officers and peers though not himself: "lunch with Greenspan" likely refers to Rabbi Abraham Greenspan of Halifax; the "Capt. Dr. Cass" who read the Torah "fairly well. He also blew the Shofar" is certainly Rabbi Samuel Cass. Visiting English evangelist Bryan Green gave a speech "under the auspices of Br. Ministery of Information. No revelation"; The rabbi records speeches and discussions -- sometimes heated -- on "Assimiliation" Jewish denominations Jewish education "How to Get Home for the High Holidays" as well as his trips to military camps and hospitals in Windsor and Debert advocacy for men A.W.O.L. or otherwise awaiting discipline or sentencing; distribution of books and pamphlets; and continual efforts to maintain and improve attendance at services. But not conspicuously the shadow under which these events took place and which certainly must have been on his mind. hardcover books

JUDAICA: Rabbi Yitzchok Simcha Hurewitz 1893 1935ABAA

Two Autographed Letters Signed

1923284725Amsterdam 1923. unbound. very good. Exceptional lot of two A.L.S.'s from Palestine March and May 1923 written by Joseph B. Hurewitz to his friend from Hartford George Sschivolsky who attended Yale law school at the time. 1 8vo. 3 pages personal letterhead Jerusalem March 18 1923 Joseph writes that hte past three months have changed him entirely because he has just been ordained a Rabbi: "I have completed my work here at the Yeshiva. from Chief Rabbi Kirk however I do not intend to return and seek a flock to lead . at least not so soon". He continues that he intends to go into business with other "stranded Americans" and settled on Sheep. "There are half million sheep and thousands of pounds of wool are shorn every year. but no one has bothered to organize". He has written to several American importers. After congratulating his friend George on his Yale Law School studies he mentions that he has had friends visit him "Just a few weeks ago I had some visitors from Hartford. G.B. Schwartz and daughter Frances were here on a tour. The program of the Tour allowed but three days for Palestine but still they managed to see quite a bit of the Country". 2 8vo. 3 pages personal letterhead Jerusalem May 12 1923 he is anxious to tell of his business success: "Upon my return to Hebron I bought up several tons of wool. that will be shipped to the United States. We have landed an order for tens of thousands of pounds of wool. The importers of New York are opening a letter of credit in our favor." Much more information follows including his hesitation that he is not applying his Rabbinical teachings and a detailed account witnessing the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb by a small sect still in costume: "They had a High Priest officiate with a white crown on his head and the purple robes of a Pope. Everything is done according to the old rites. in many respects they resemble the Jews". This is a rare opportunity for the genealogical student of person desiring accounts of Palestine in the turbulent 1920's. Both letters are in fine condition and are accompanied by their original postmarked addressed envelopes. Chief Rabbi of Hartford Connecticut until his death.

Judaica. Mormon. Hill Ira.ABAA

Antiquities of America Explained.

183119428Hagers-Town Hagerstown: Printed by William D. Bell 1831. First edition. Fragile roan somewhat rubbed; some scattered foxing; a good sound copy. 12mo original tree roan professionally rebacked with brown Fabrikoid cloth new endpapers and the hinges reinforced with library cloth tape 131 1 pages. Hill relies on petroglyphs and other evidence to argue that the Native Americans are descended from the Jews. Hill here joins the queue of those who had made similar arguments; Rafinesque makes an explicit connection in the columns of his Atlantic Journal Autumn 1832 between Hill and his Antiquities Explained and the recently published Book of Mormon: "This opinion based upon some religious prejudices and slight acquaintance with philology and antiquities has been entertained by Penn Adair Boudinot and several other superficial writers among which Ira Hill author of a late work Antiquities of America Explained. Hagerstown Maryland 1831. It is to me astonishing how in this enlightened age any such unfounded belief can be sustained; if greater absurdities still did not prevail as yet among a few. Two recent instances of egregious folly based upon this singular tenet have induced me to republish my letter of 1829 which if read by those laboring under this delusion cannot fail to shake their belief. A new Religion or sect has been founded upon this belief! the Mormonites thus called after a new Alcoran or Book of Mormon which is not a Jewish name. Supposed to be written in gold letters more than 2000 years ago by Mormon leader of the American Jews. This Book which no one has seen nor read but the founder of the sect the probable writer thereof has been made the Bible of a new sect. I have tried in vain to procure a copy of the translation wherein I could certainly detect a crowd of absurdities and incongruities. Meantime a Sect of Fanatics has arisen therefrom and wandered from New York to Ohio and Missouri." Howes H-482; Sabin 31828. Somewhat clumsy later repair with a strip of paper to the blank verso across the tenth leaf of a five-inch tear with a little darkening to the text from the glue. Printed by William D.
