1957171422Tel Aviv: Israel Defense Forces 1957-58. Oil in the wake of the Suez Crisis First and sole editions of these extremely rare strategic maps of the Middle East concentrating on oil production which were made by and for the IDF shortly after the joint Anglo-French-Israeli invasion of Nasserist Egypt. We locate just one copy of each of these maps in an institutional library. The Suez Crisis precipitated enormous geopolitical changes throughout the Middle East. France and Britain ceded influence and the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the dominant external powers. Assessing resources and infrastructure was important in this febrile climate. The first map Neft ba-Mizrah ha-Tikhon examines oil fields refineries and pipelines marking the concessions run by companies such as the Arabian-American oil company Aramco and the Syrian-American Oil and Gas Co as well as highlighting the potential for development in Yemen Oman and the Trucial States. The second map Ha-Mizrah ha-Karov provides a more general overview of transportation infrastructure across the region including pipelines roads and railways. The third map Ha-Sahar ha-Poreh concentrates on Iraq which was an unknown quantity in Israeli foreign policy making in 1958 given the revolution of that very year which saw the monarchy overthrown and a republic established under Abdul Karim Qasim whose allegiances were at that point unclear. Three chromolithographic maps 827 x 560 mm; 960 x 820 mm; 698 x 496 mm. Text in Hebrew one in Hebrew and English. Creased where folded occasional small holes or tears along fold lines larger map with a few nicks to left margin a little toned faint tidemarks: a very good collection. unknown

By 1946 Britain was under pressure to withdraw from Palestine because of attacks by Arab militias and armed Zionist groups. A special United Nations committee recommended the immediate partitioning of Palestine into two states one for Arabs and the other for Jews with Jerusalem maintained by the U.N. as an international city. The General Assembly approved the proposal and the British announced they would leave Palestine on May 15 1948.</p><p>Members of the provisional government drafted the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel and the provisional government voted in favor of it on May 12. They settled on final wording and held a Declaration ceremony in the Tel Aviv Museum on May 14. Twenty-five members of the Provisional State Council signed it that day and twelve more added their names later. One was out of the country and the other eleven were trapped in besieged Jerusalem.</p><p>The two rabbis in the provisional government argued for a including the draft phrase "and placing our trust in the Almighty" but a member of the secularist Mapam party strongly opposed it. Rather than including a direct reference to God the Declaration uses the phrase "Rock of Israel" in the final section which could refer either to God or to the land of Israel.</p><p>Other prominent signers include future Prime Minister Moshe Shertok Sharett 1894-1965 future Prime Minister Golda Myerson Meir 1898-1978 first Jewish mayor of Jerusalem Daniel Auster 1893-1963 future President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi 1884-1963 first Minister of the Interior Yitzhak Gruenbaum 1879-1970 first Minister of Finance Eliezer Kaplan 1891-1952 first Minister of Religions Rabbi Yehuda Leib Maimon 1875-1962 first Minister of Transportation David Remez 1886-1951 first Minister of Justice Pinchas Rosen 1887-1978 first Minister of Health and Minister of Immigration Haim-Moshe Shapira 1902-1970 first and longest-serving Minister of Police Bechor-Shalom Sheetrit 1895-1967 Communist Party of Israel leader Meir Vilner 1918-2003 and many other future members of the Knesset.</p><p>At midnight on May 14/15 1948 6 p.m. May 14 in Washington the British Mandate officially ended and David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel. Eleven minutes later President Harry S. Truman recognized Israel on behalf of the United States. In the next few days Iran the Soviet Union and several other nations recognized Israel. Over the next few days after the declaration armies of Egypt Trans-Jordan Iraq and Syria engaged Israeli troops starting the 1948 Arab-Israeli War which ended ten months later with a substantial increase in the area governed by Israel.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine.</p> Provisional Government of Israel books

192855257Leipzig: Verlag Karl W. Hiersemann 1928. Limited edition. Hardcover. Very good condition. 1/350 copies. This is #326 hand-numbered on the colophon at the rear of the facsimile volume. This set provides a stunning full reproduction of the beautiful and notable late medieval illuminated manuscript Haggadah held at the State Library of Darmstadt along with critical text discussing the work.<br /> <br /> Originally produced by the scribe Israel Ben Meir of Heidelberg in conjunction with an unidentified artist this fascinating Passover Haggadah has been noted for its unique illustrations. Scholars have remarked on its inclusion of egalitarian images of men and women and have noted that it visually seems to have more in common with non-Jewish works from the period. The last two leaves of the manuscript are not connected with the Passover text but instead depict a hunting scene and the Fountain of Youth. All though the scholarly text of this edition written by German Rabbi Bruno Italiener 1881-1951 along with German art historian August L. Mayer 1885-1944 historian Aron Freimann 1871-1948 and Adolf Schmidt dates the manuscript to the 14th century superseding scholarship has now ruled out that possibility for stylistic reasons. The manuscript is now believed to have been produced sometime around 1430.<br /> <br /> Vol.1 text: Octavo. xi 1 313 1pp. 16 plates. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. Frontispiece b/w photographic reproduction of the binding of the original manuscript. German and Hebrew text throughout critically discusses the Haggadah manuscript and analyses a number of other related manuscripts from the period. The final leaves contain 16 plates of high quality b/w photogravure reproducing pages of various manuscripts mentioned in the text. <br /> <br /> Vol. 2 "tafelband" facsimile volume: Folio. 58 double-sided leaves. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. This volume gorgeously reproduces in full the content of the illuminated manuscript Haggadah. The reproduction utilizes what was at the time state of the art full color photography highlighted with lustrous gilt overprinting. The visual reproduction is surprising in its faithful accurate and vibrant reproduction of the leaves text and imagery. The resulting facsimile is successfully able to replicate the look and feel as well as the physical aspects of the interior of the original manuscript.<br /> <br /> Text volume with very minor rubbing to extremities of the binding and some minor foxing to the bottom and foredges of the book block. Interior with minor sporadic foxing to the pages usually confined to the margins. Facsimile volume with some very minor rubbing to the extremities of the binding. Interior clean and vibrant.

195043267Be'eri Beeri: Hotsa'at Be'eri 1950. 1st edition. Original illustrated color paper wrappers with outer protective cover added 8vo 31 pages. All pages are illustrated with illustrations created specifically for this hagadah. 24 cm. In Hebrew. 1st edition of the Hagadah produced by the Kibbutz where Hamas killed 100 Israelis on October 7 2023. Apparently several editions were produced between 1950-1981. <br> The cover depicts two muscle-bound shirtless men ripping their shackles off a classic passover depiction using Zionist "New Jew" imagry showing the strength of the young Jewish state emerging from the Holocaust. <br> The front cover as well as the inside illustrated pages are identical to the later 1953 UToronto copy whose pages can be seen at https://archive.org/details/druck00148/page/n35/mode/2up though our copy retains the original text which theirs has replaced on pages 15-16 and lacks their the tipped in colophon. The rear cover has also changed with their 1953 edition compare our illustration to theirs. <br> Be'eri is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev desert near the eastern border with the Gaza Strip. During.the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel 100 people were killed." Jerry Seinfeld famously visited in December following the attack to show support. <br> “Kibbutz Be'eri was established on 6 October 1946 as one of the 11 points in the Negev. It was located near Wadi Nahabir a few kilometres south of Be'erot Yitzhak. Its founders were members of the HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed movement who had been preparing in Maoz Haim as well as some Hebrew scouts. It was named after Berl Katznelson as Be'eri Beeri a biblical name was his pen name.<br> In 1947 Be'eri had a population of over 150. The early settlers engaged in land reclamation and tree planting. The group was enlarged by young Jews from Iraq who arrived by desert trek. The Jewish National Fund reported that for months the kibbutz was completely isolated 'but the settlers held their ground until the liberation of the Negev in October 1948.'<br> After Israeli independence the kibbutz moved three kilometres southeast to its present location. It is considered one of Israel's wealthiest kibbutzim" Wikipedia. <br> Commemorating members of Kibbutz Be’eri who were killed in the second intifadah Miriam Holtzman reflected on the kibbutz and it’s hagadah:<br> “In 1950 the members and members of Kibbutz Be’eri produced the Hagadah for Passover. Less than two years after the end of the War of Independence in which they paid a terrible price for the fulfillment of their life's vision - the establishment of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel the members of the kibbutz designed holiday content relevant to their values and lifestyles. In those years the kibbutz Hagadot fulfilled the mitzvah ‘A person must see himself as if he had come out of Egypt’ by incorporating the history of the nation of Israel at that time. <br> The Hagadah told the story of exile immigration pioneers fighting and settlement in the areas of the book as a direct continuation of the struggle of the Israelites for freedom and as part of their journey back to the Land of Israel .In contrast to the traditional Hagadah the Kibbutz Hagadahs put a deep emphasis not only on leaving the slavery of Egypt but also on arriving in the Promised Land and settling in it.<br> In those days of the beginning of the state the kibbutz Seder night also included content that today we incorporate into the Holocaust Day Remembrance Day and Independence Day ceremonies. The Kibbutz Hagadah combined the local and national story with passages from the traditional Hagadah verses from the Bible passages of Zionist thought and self-creation - both in painting and writing. The War of Independence became in Be’eri's Hagadah another chapter in the story of the Exodus from Egypt….<br> In the chapter ‘We will remember' the victims of the Holocaust and the refugees who fell on their way to Israel are mentioned alongside those who fell in the War of Liberation. The message is one of remembrance but also of mission:<br> 'And let us not forget because it was only because of them and because of the whole multitude of the House of Israel that we have come to this day and because it was for their sake and for the sake of the rest of Israel that we are at peace now….Prepare yourselves for the enemies of all generations - for a great evil.'<br> The emphasis in remembrance is on finding meaning and belief in the righteousness of the path in the face of the paralyzing pain. A topical reading of Be’eri's passages of the Hagadah places the reality we face in a historical context - not a single point but a long and continuous line of our existence in this land.<br> The Hagadah ends with the return of Zion and includes verses such as 'Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears there is a reward for your work and return from the land of the enemy' as well as 'while your son is built and built virgin of Israel there is hope for your future and sons return to their borders'.<br> The Hagadah ends with a description of Ari's who was killed in the 2nd Intifadah life in that year. It is impossible not to hear the call carried to us from the main day:<br> 'Come out and see our work in the first year of our sabbath at Beri Hadasha….Let us plow and sow and let the blessings of God visit our fields. We planted fruit trees and vines and increased the herds of cattle and more priests and priests were added to our dwelling and we are only at the beginning of the journey. There is still a lot of need and a lot of longing to improve our home from the inside.<br> Indeed today is a joyous holiday for us. . The silence and the peace are with us and now because we have yet to stand the test and we have yet to be girdled we have vowed to stand on the soul of our work. . And with anxious anticipation we wait for the day when we will give our hands to the effort of the great liberation here at our rejected point we will rush to the redemption of the people and the world.'†www.chagim.org.il<br> "No group… has taken the reinterpretation of the traditional Haggadah more seriously than the kibbutz movement which over the years has produced an estimated 1000 different versions. Taken together these Haggadot offer a fascinating perspective on the still evolving social movement. Of all Jewish texts the Haggadah had special significance for the early kibbutz pioneers because it dealt with concepts important to their ideology: national freedom and socialist ideals… The staggering number of kibbutz Haggadot can be attributed to the fact that few were actually printed; most were simply stenciled in small numbers to be used in a particular year by a particular kibbutz. It was only later that official kibbutz federations published a standard version" Carol Novis in The Forward. <br> SUBJECTS: Kibbutz haggadot. Haggadot -- Texts. Passover -- Liturgy -- Texts.

1930213451930. Dubek Cigarettes photographic album of British Mandatory Palestine produced in the 1930s-1940s documents the development of Jewish agricultural settlements industry security organizations and cultural institutions within the Yishuv during the late Mandate period. The album presents a visual narrative of Zionist nation building through images of collective agricultural labor industrial production settlement construction and educational life. Such imagery circulated widely in the interwar and wartime decades as part of broader efforts to promote Jewish settlement in Palestine and to demonstrate the institutional capacity of the Yishuv to sustain a modern society. The photographs therefore document a formative phase in the development of Jewish communal infrastructure and social organization prior to the establishment of the State of Israel.<br /> <br /> Dubek Cigarettes. Album of British Mandatory Palestine. Palestine: Dubek Cigarettes circa 1930s-1940s. Hebrew language cigarette card album containing 200 black and white photographic cards mounted within printed pages accompanied by Hebrew captions and descriptions. The photographs depict agricultural labor associated with kibbutz communities including images of women harvesting crops working in fisheries and participating in factory production. Additional cards document industrial development such as textile production citrus agriculture and export and cigarette manufacturing. Several sections show security and defense activity including Jewish guards patrols and fortified settlements associated with protective measures adopted by Jewish communities during the Mandate period. Other photographs highlight infrastructure including bridges roads water towers and public buildings along with educational and cultural institutions such as libraries schools and youth activities. Scenes of public gatherings and celebrations further emphasize the formation of communal identity within the Jewish population of Palestine.<br /> <br /> During the final decades of British administration in Palestine Jewish settlement expanded through organized agricultural collectives urban development and new infrastructure projects supported by Zionist institutions. Visual publications such as cigarette card albums functioned both as educational materials and as popular visual media presenting the progress of Jewish settlement and economic development. Images of collective labor fortified communities and modern infrastructure illustrate the practical and ideological foundations of the Yishuv's political aspirations during the Mandate era.

The camps promoted Zionism Judaism and American outdoor and camping culture to the underprivileged children of New York's Jewish community. The organization was ultimately composed of seven camps serving more than 1000 campers. The camps ultimately closed in 1992 but are seem as instrumental and influential in the development of the now successful "Camp Ramah" network of camps. It is considered the first Jewish Summer Camp.
