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.

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.

1952H36081Mexico City: Farlag Tsvi Kessel 1952. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/good. Cloth in dust jacket book very good jacket fair to good with general soil edgewear chips and tears. 235 pp. In Yiddish. From an online encyclopedia not wikipedia we found the following information on Schwartz: 1885–1971 Yiddish poet and translator. Born in Petroshun Lithuania he began his literary career translating some of Bialik's poems into Yiddish. In 1906 he emigrated to New York and as soon as he had mastered English translated poems by Shakespeare Milton and Walt Whitman. He participated in the publications of the literary movement Di Yunge but dissociated himself from its rebelliously militant members. In 1918 he settled in Lexington Kentucky where he found rich material which he incorporated in his verse epic Kentoki "Kentucky" 1925 translating it himself into Hebrew 1962. It is generally rated as one of the finest achievements of American Yiddish literature. The hero of this narrative is a Jewish peddler who rises from poverty to affluence in the course of decades of hard work and just dealings with his neighbors and becomes a respected prosperous pillar of Kentucky society. Schwartz's verse autobiography Yunge Yorn "Young Years" 1952 wove a web of enchantment about his native Lithuanian town along the Nieman River and about the Kovno yeshivah where together with traditional studies he became familiar with Bialik's Hebrew Reisen's Yiddish and Herzl's Zionist visions. Yunge Yorn ends with his departure from home for the New World. Because of Schwartz's lifelong preoccupation with translating contemporary Hebrew poets his Yiddish style has a rich Hebraic flavor.

Gold gilted top of text block.</p><p>Excerpt: Simultaneously with the publication of these 'Ghetto Comedies' a fresh edition of my 'Ghetto Tragedies' is issued with the original title restored. In the old definition a comedy could be distinguished from a tragedy by its happy ending. Dante's Hell and Purgatory could thus appertain to a 'comedy.' This is a crude conception of the distinction between Tragedy and Comedy which I have ventured to disregard particularly in the last of these otherwise unassuming stories.</p><p>HOW I FOUND THE MODEL</p><p>I cannot pretend that my ambition to paint the Man of Sorrows had any religious inspiration though I fear my dear old dad at the Parsonage at first took it as a sign of awakening grace. And yet as an artist I have always been loath to draw a line between the spiritual and the beautiful; for I have ever held that the beautiful has in it the same infinite element as forms the essence of religion. But I cannot explain very intelligibly what I mean for my brush is the only instrument through which I can speak. And if I am here paradoxically proposing to use my pen to explain what my brush failed to make clear it is because the criticism with which my picture of the Man of Sorrows has been assailed drives me to this attempt at verbal elucidation. My picture let us suppose is half-articulate; perhaps my pen can manage to say the other half especially as this other half mainly consists of things told me and things seen.</p><p> <strong> Insurance & handling is included free.

He later rejected the search for a Jewish homeland and became the prime thinker behind the territorial movement. He had already written a tale entitled The Premier and the Painter in collaboration with Louis Cowen when he resigned his position as a teacher owing to differences with the school managers and ventured into journalism. He initiated and edited Ariel The London Puck and did miscellaneous work for the London press. Theatre Programme for the play The Melting Pot 1916. Zangwill's work earned him the nickname "the Dickens of the Ghetto. He wrote a very influential novel Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People 1892. The use of the metaphorical phrase "melting pot" to describe American absorption of immigrants was popularised by Zangwill's play The Melting Pot a success in the United States in 1909–10. When The Melting Pot opened in Washington D.C. on 5 October 1909 former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted "That's a great play Mr. Zangwill that's a great play."</p><p>Excerpt from "Chosen People": course however fools suffered. Our daily bread said the sages is as miraculous as the division of the Red Sea. And the dry retort of the soberest of Pharisaic Rabbis when a voice from heaven interfered with the voting on a legal point en mashgîchin be-bathkol--"We cannot have regard to the Bath Kol the Torah is for earth not heaven"--was a sign that for one school of thought at least reason and the democratic principle were not to be browbeaten and that the era of miracles in Judaism was over. The very incoherence of the Talmud its confusion of voices is an index of free thinking. Post-biblical Israel has had a veritable galaxy of thinkers and saints from Maimonides its Aquinas to Crescas its Duns Scotus from Mendelssohn its Erasmus to the Baal-Shem its St. Francis. But it has been at once the weakness and the strength of orthodox Judaism never to have made a breach with its past; possibly out of too great a reverence for history possibly out of over-consideration for the masses.

The robust and often hilarious tale tells how Manasseh combines insolence with resourcefulness to reduce London's best-known philanthropist to a fish handler; how he reacts to his daughter's love for a socially inferior beggar; and how he manages to parlay her marriage into a life-time pension for himself from his synagogue. Brimming with wit and wisdom and widely regarded as one of the author's most enduring works The King of Schnorrers is a literary gem offering hours of entertaining humor and satire.</p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.

Gold gilted top of text block.</p><p>In its first appearance in 1892 Israel Zangwill's Children of the Ghetto created a sensation in both England and America becoming the first Anglo-Jewish bestseller and establishing Zangwill as the literary voice of Anglo-Jewry. A novel set in late nineteenth-century London Children of the Ghetto gave an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population providing a compelling analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life. This volume brings back to print the 1895 edition of Children of the Ghetto the latest American version known to have been corrected by the author. Meri-Jane Rochelson places the novel in proper context by providing a biographical historical and critical introduction; a bibliography of primary and secondary sources; and notes on the text making this ground-breaking novel accessible to a new generation of readers both Jewish and non-Jewish alike.</p><p>Collectible <strong> Insurance & handling is included free.

For he was born in the Ghetto of Venice on the seventh story of an ancient house. There were two more stories up which he never went and which remained strange regions leading towards the blue sky. A dusky staircase with gaunt whitewashed walls led down and down-past doors whose lintels all bore little tin cases containing holy Hebrew words-into the narrow court of the oldest Ghetto in the world. A few yards to the right was a portico leading to the bank of a canal but a grim iron gate barred the way. The water of another canal came right up to the back of the Ghetto and cut off all egress that way; and the other porticoes leading to the outer world were likewise provided with gates guarded by Venetian watchmen. Zangwill became a spokesman for Zionism after meeting Theodor Herzl in 1896 but broke with the movement to form the Jewish Territorial Organization for the Settlement of the Jews Within the British Empire of which he was president 1905–25.
