He supported the Ottoman Empire in World War I but was deported to Egypt and traveled to the United States where he remained for three years. After the Balfour Declaration of 1917 he joined the Jewish Legion of the British Army. He returned to Palestine after the war and became a leader of the Zionist movement. As head of the Jewish Agency from 1935 Ben-Gurion was effectively the leader of the Jewish population before there was a nation. He accepted the 1947 partition plan as a compromise that would establish a Jewish state and declared the independence of the state of Israel in May 1948. After leading Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War Ben-Gurion won election as Prime Minister of Israel in 1948 as head of the Labour party in the Knesset.

Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹zeá¹tser hardcover books

19347508Boston: B.B. Inc.; Ben-Burk Distillers 1934. Small folded pamphlet 11 x 6.5 cm. 16 pages when folded. Printed in red black and blue. FIRST EDITION. One of the very rare precursors to the famous Old Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide 1935. Following Repeal Ben-Burk Distillers published the Guide which was to become one of the iconic cocktail recipe books. Originally published as a promotional item for the Ben-Burk line of spirits distilled in Boston the Guide became a staple of professional and home bars around the country. But prior to the first work titled Old Mr. Boston Guide Ben-Burk published One Hundred Cocktails Some Old -- Some New 1932 and One Hundred and Twenty Cocktails Fizzes Punches Highballs Toddies and Long Drinks 1934 both of which are very rare. We can add this small work - previously unrecorded - to this short list of precursors. A bit of soiling to edges and one corner dog-eared; otherwise very good.
