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. His wife was Chanana Greenberg unknown books

JUDAICA American BIBLE IN HEBREW and ENGLISH Isaac LEESER 1806 1868 editorABAA

Torat Ha-Elo-Him . The Law of God .

39481Philadelphia: Printed by C. Sherman 5605. 8vo 5 volumes. 8 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches. Hebrew and English text on facing pages. Each volume inscribed at the head of the English-language title "To my beloved wife from her affectionate husband" the first volume with a later family annotation. Contemporary purple morocco spine in six compartments with raised bands lettered in gilt in the second and fourth repeating gilt decoration in others marbled edges marbled endpapers. Provenance: Solomon Nunes Carvalho each cover stamped in gilt Rare large-paper association copy of the first Jewish translation of the Pentateuch into English. More than any other person of his time Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 envisioned the development of a major center of Jewish culture and religious activity in the United States. He single-handedly provided American Jews with many of the basic religious texts institutions and conceptual tools they needed to construct the cultural foundation of what would later emerge as the largest Jewish community in the history of the Jewish people. Printed in 1845 this edition of the Pentateuch in five volumes included a vocalized Hebrew text of each of the Five Books of Moses together with an English translation and notes as well as the haftarot prophetic readings. Leeser actually began working on The Law of God in 1838. Among the factors involved in his decision to begin systematically working on a translation was the recent opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School which met for the first time in March 1838 in Philadelphia and was desperately in need of appropriate study material. Students were compelled to use the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative. Religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. This copy with provenance to Solomon Nunes Carvalho who was a noted American painter photographer writer and inventor best known for traveling with John C. Fremont on his fifth expedition through Kansas Colorado and Utah. He published an account of that journey titled "Incidents of Travel and Adventure in the Far West; with Colonel Fremont's Last Expedition" 1860 and was considered a pioneer in travel photography. Isaac Leeser the hazzan of Congregation K.K. Mikveh Israel married Carvalho and his wife Sarah Miriam Solis on October 15 1845 in Philadelphia where Carvalho's father had a workshop.
