189342357New York: S. Levine 1893. 1st edition. Later Paper Wrappers 70 4 pages 18 x 12 cm Singerman 4588. <br> Gerson Rosenzweig 1861-1914 was born in Lithuania he taught Hebrew in Bialystok and in 1888 he emigrated to the United States. Rosenzweig edited several Hebrew periodicals - Ha-Ivri 1891-1902 Kadimah 1899-1902 Ha-Devorah 1911-12 - they were short-lived and earned him neither fame nor a livelihood. He also edited Hebrew columns in the Yiddish press. <br> Though he was a versifier rather than a poet he had a genuine flair for satire and he was known to his contemporaries as the "sweet satirist of Israel" and as a parodist he earned an honorable place in Hebrew literature. His Talmud Yanka'i "Yankee Talmud " 1907 1909 poured a stream of ill-humored sarcasm on the peddler the teacher the rabbi. The pages of that collection of satires resembled the pages of the Talmud: the text in large letters wreathed by commentary in Rashi script is divided into six tractates instead of the talmudic six orders. <br> Rosenzweig also denounced the vulgarisms of the country the worship of money the religion of success. Epigrammatic neatness was his forte. Example: "What is the difference between a convert and an anarchist A convert denies what he believes an anarchist believes what he denies. " Using a biblical phrase he quipped sardonically about his impending death by cancer of the tongue: "Life and death are at the mercy of the tongue" Prov. 18: 21. <br> He published two books of epigrams: Shirim Meshalim u-Mikhtamim 1893 and Hamishah ve-Elef Mikhtamim 1903; reprinted in Russia.

18118413London: Printed for the Society by B. R. Goakman 1811. First Edition. Pamphlet. Good. Removed no wrapper 5 x 8 inches 52 clean pp. Worldcat records 9 copies in institutional holdings. The author contends that the Jews are still a distinct people and that after their time of humiliation is past God will restore them. "Let us briefly examine the causes of their affliction and then their prospects of Divine mercy and of happier days yet in store for them." The chief cause of their affliction according to the author is their murder and rejection of Jesus Christ. The scriptures however contain unfulifilled promises of their restoration to the true faith and the prophecies of Daniel and others point to a time when these will be fulfilled. The author contends that the work of the Society is evidence that the tide is turning and that the Jews will come to Christ. Printed for the Society, by B. R. Goakman unknown
