1. • (Bezalel) Schatz, Boris. ירושלם הבנויה: חלום בהקיץ YERUSHALEM HA-BENUYAH: HALOM BE-HAKITS. (YERUSHALAYIM HA-BENUYAH: CHALOM BE-HAKITZ) [“THE REBUILT JERUSALEM: A DAYDREAM"]. Jerusalem: Betsalel,, 1924. Hardback, 8vo. 190 pages. In Hebrew. FIRST EDITION. Additional title, featuring Schatz on Jerusalem rooftop beckoned to by the prophet of the future "Boris Schatz's exile on the shores of the Sea of Galilee during World War I, was a time of fruitful contemplation and writing. He composed this fi ctional story, set in Palestine one hundred years in the future, which offered a sublime alternative to the miserable reality of strife and struggle that had engulfed him in recent years. His utopian novella, was a programmatic manifesto written acording to the conventions of the then popular literary genre of the futuristic novel. The story opened with the Biblical artisan Bezalel ben Uri miraculously appearing at the Bezalel School one day in the midst of the war and inviting Schatz on a tour of Palestine in the year 2018 (see p. 108). This device allowed the author to present a detailed description of Bezalel and the Land of Israel of the future" (Boris Schatz: The Father of Israeli Art [Israel Museum Catalogue, 2006], p. 27).

2. • Raviv-Vorobeichic, Moshé. EIN GHETTO IM OSTEN - WILNA. Zurich and Leipzig: Orell Fussli, (1931) . Slim crown octavo, original half orange cloth, orange & black photographic boards. First edition of Vorobeichic's pre-WWII photo-essay on Lithuanian Jews, with 64 black-and-white photographic images and photocollages. Lithuanian-born photographer Moshé Raviv-Vorobeichic trained at the Bauhaus in the 1920s and after studying at the École de Photo Ciné in Paris, "returned to visit his family and photographed life in the Jewish community of Vilnius. The result was Ein Ghetto im Osten, Wilna... His use of the book format as a progression of pictures to be leafed through is unique with regard to the reportage style that was just carving a niche for itself at the time" (Open Book, 18) . "Pushing the envelope of the documentary form... Vorobeichic also introduced cinematic cutting and montaging techniques... A poignancy has been added in hindsight: it was made at the beginning of a desperately traumatic time for European Jewry" (Parr & Badger, 130) . With preface by poet Zalman Chnéour in both Hebrew and German. Makes for a wonderful book, not only for it's powerful Vishniac-style photos and intense design but also as an excellent example of Western Jewish fascination/replusion at the Ostjude as exotic.

Series: Bucherei des Schocken verlags. 84. SUBJECT (S): Liebermann, Max. Liebermann (1847-1935) was a “German painter. Liebermann, the son of a Berlin industrialist, studied at the Weimar Academy. He was only 23 when his picture of The Boy Jesus in Dispute with the Rabbis was attacked by critics, some of whom appear to have been motivated by antisemitism. Two years later his Women Plucking Geese received high praise when it was exhibited in Hamburg and Berlin. Liebermann was a very Nordic painter. Photographic naturalism was as abhorrent to him as expressionism, and although he has often been called an impressionist he never regarded himself as one. He spent much of his life in Holland and was heavily influenced by its gray skies. He used cool, austere colors to paint the bleak, flat Netherlands landscapes in which he discovered the excitement of changing atmosphere, sunlight intermingling with mist, blue hazes, and empty spaces. While his early work tended to be static, he gradually loosened up as regards form and color, reversing the traditional pattern by growing freer and more spontaneous as he became older. In his fifties he began painting athletes in action, rearing horses, and the colorful vegetable markets of the Amsterdam Jewish quarter…In 1920 he became president of the Berlin Academy of Art. His Gesammelte Schriften appeared in 1922. By this time he was too frail for his regular trips to Holland and did much of his painting at his summer home in Wannsee, outside Berlin. He became a celebrated and expensive portraitist, painting his sitters with a broad virtuosity, but not often probing deeply into their personality. Among them were Hermann Cohen, Georg Brandes, and Walther Rathenau. He also did thousands of rapid sketches in pen, pencil, crayon, and chalk. Liebermann considered himself first and foremost a German and had little interest in Jewish affairs, although he described himself as being “very much aware of belonging to the Jewish people” and as watching the goals of Zionism with “the greatest interest. ” Apart from his paintings and drawings of the Amsterdam ghetto, virtually his only work on Jewish subjects was a series of lithographs for an edition of Heinrich Heine’s Rabbi of Bacharach and two oils on the Samson and Delilah theme. When the Nazis came to power in 1933 he was ousted from presidency of the Academy and his paintings were removed from all German museums. His death two years later was completely ignored by the German press. In 1943 his widow was told that she was to be deported by the Gestapo, and she committed suicide. The Liebermann house in Pariser Platz was looted and its valuable collection of paintings stolen and scattered” (Werner in EJ, 2007) . Ex-library. Signing on first page. Wear to cover binding.

In French. “Benn was born in Bialystock (Russia/Poland) in 1905 into a well established Jewish family that produced a number of Jewish Scholars. His father was a prominent and creative architect…. At 24 as a member of the association of professional artists, he was awarded by the City of Bialystock a scholarship for three years to study in Paris. Following a farewell exhibition in his native city, Benn went to Paris in 1930. He found his milieu there and rapidly developed an outstanding reputation: his works were exhibited at leading Salons and galleries and acquired by major collectors. He married his life partner, Ghera; was naturalized and remained in France. The traumatic experiences of World War II introduced a new spiritual dimension into the works of Benn. Sought by the Gestapo, the Benns lived 26 months in the terrible solitude of hiding: inactive, removed from friends, silent and in constant fear. His parents were massacred in his native Poland. Benn read and reread the Bible. In its pages he found the inspiration and strength to withstand the solitude and fear. The Bible sustained him emotionally and intellectually during those terrible years, and the Bible became a major source of his spiritual and artistic nourishment to this day. After the war, Benn rapidly resumed the pursuit of his artistic career: capturing on canvas the rhythms of life and of nature; doing portrait and depicting countrysides. Yet the spiritual fire which was lit within him during the years of terrible solitude did not stop burning. He produced his “62 Psalms of the Bible”, unusually moving spiritual works. These were followed by “the Song of Songs”, which the Art Museum in Paris considers a masterpiece” (bencjonbenn.com) . OCLC lists 5 copies worldwide. Etienne Souriau was a “French philosopher, best known for his work in aesthetics. He studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure and received his agregation of philosophy in 1925. After teaching at the universities of Aix-en-provence and Lyon he eventually became a professor at the Sorbonne, where he held a chair in aesthetics. He was the editor of the Revue d’esthetique and was elected to the Academie des sciences morales et politiques in 1958” (Wikipedia, 2010) . Wear to cover binding. Wear to edges and corners of cover.

He worked in many media and garnered a reputation for his draftsmanlike attention to detail and his realistic approach. His imagery depicted scenes of Jewish life, especially that of New York’s Lower East Side. His trips to Palestine yielded many representations of that country's Jewish population, among them twenty lithographs of Jerusalem. Raskin also illustrated many Hebrew texts. Pirke Aboth demonstrates Raskin’s wonderful sense of design; he makes dramatic use of blank space as a component of his compositions as well as underscores the meaning of each of the book's sections with a powerful combination of human and fantastic forms, each revealing carefully rendered details of expression.

In 1933, he left Europe for Israel, after which he focused almost solely on woodcuts. “At first he depicted Jerusalem scenes and inhabitants, but from 1950 he used biblical subjects from the Book of Jonah (1952) , the Book of Ruth (1955) , landscapes, and imaginary themes. While his woodcuts of the 1930s are characterized by sharp contrasts between black and white, his later work concentrated on rhythm, and color was often introduced. ”(Fischer, EJ) Ex library, summary from dust jacket taped to front end paper, very good condition.

SUBJECT (S): Translated from the Yiddish and introduced by Jacob Sonntag. With a letter on the poem and drawings by Marc Chagall. Sutzkever (1913–) is a “Yiddish poet. Born in Smargon (Belorussia) , Sutzkever fled with his family to Siberia to escape the German occupation of his hometown during World War I, returning to Vilna after the war. He was not educated in the city's secular Yiddish schools, but rather at a Polish-Hebrew secondary school. He taught himself about Yiddish literature as a teenager through disciplined self-study, later auditing classes on Polish Romanticism at University of Vilna and studying early Yiddish literature under Max Weinreich at YIVO. He first discovered his poetic calling when, in 1930, he joined the Jewish scouts and befriended Leyzer Wolf, a leader of the literary group Yung-Vilne. His membership in that group was initially rejected because his poetry lacked political engagement, but in 1934, the year of his literary debut, he was accepted. He emerged as a defiant aesthetic voice that resisted the highly politicized nature of Yiddish writing in Poland in favor of a joyous, affirmative poetic. In 1935 he appealed to Yiddish modernist Aaron Glanz-Leyeles in New York, who, impressed by Sutzkever’s talent, invited him to contribute regularly to his prestigious monthly, In Zikh” (Cammy in EJ 2007) .

According to John Ruskin by Tim Hilton (on page 816) , around 1887 Cockerell sent Ruskin some sea shells, which he collected. At that time he had already met William Morris. Cockerell tried to patch up a quarrel between Ruskin and Octavia Hill (Hilton, on page 832) , who had been a friend of his late father Sydney John Cockerell, and godmother to his sister Olive. From 1891 he gained a more solid entry to intellectual circles, working for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. The architect Detmar Blow was a friend (Hilton on page 843) . He acted as private secretary to William Morris, becoming a major collector of Kelmscott Press books; was secretary also to Wilfrid Scawen Blunt; and was Thomas Hardy’s executor.

Imprint from title page verso. Color printing; title page in green and purple. Other Titles: Haggadah. English & Hebrew. Raskin (1878-1966) was an “illustrator, painter, printmaker, critic. Born in Nogaisk, Russia, Raskin studied lithography in Odessa, and attended art academies in Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy. In 1904, he emigrated to the U. S. He worked in many media and garnered a reputation for his draftsmanlike attention to detail and his realistic approach. His imagery depicted scenes of Jewish life, especially that of New York’s Lower East Side. His trips to Palestine yielded many representations of that country’s Jewish population, among them twenty lithographs of Jerusalem. Raskin also illustrated many Hebrew texts, including Pirke Aboth, the Haggadah, Psalms, the Siddur, Kabbalah in Word and Image, and other works with Jewish content, such as Hebrew Rhapsody. Pirke Aboth demonstrates Raskin’s wonderful sense of design; he makes dramatic use of blank space as a component of his compositions as well as underscores the meaning of each of the book’s sections with a powerful combination of human and fantastic forms, each revealing carefully rendered details of expression. Raskin was the art and theater critic for the Yiddish weekly magazine Does Neie Land. In 1911, Raskin’s “The Future of Jewish Art, ” appeared in the magazine. In the article, Raskin bemoans the inability to find common Jewish attributes in the works of such artists as Antokolsky, Israels, Liebermann, and Pissarro. Raskin postulated that a Jewish Art (sic) might emerge through the identification of common themes and subjects in the work of his contemporaries, specifically in genre and history paintings, rather than through an examination of the widely varied techniques, forms, and styles used by artists of Jewish heritage. Raskin’s work has been exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Academy of Design, and the Pennsylvania Academy. His work has been collected by many major museums and galleries, including the Brooklyn Museum” (Buchwald in EJ, 2007) . Light staining inside covers. Browning to cover jacket. In dust jacket.

113. • Gaster, Moses. THE KETUBAH. New York: Hermon Press, 1974. Hardcover, 8vo, 54 pages, 6 leaves of plates, illustrated, 24 cm. SUBJECT (S): Ketubah. Ketubba. First edition published in 1923 under title: The Ketubah, a chapter from the history of the Jewish people. Bibliography on page 7. Gaster (1856-1939) was a “rabbi, scholar, and Zionist leader. Gaster was born in Bucharest and studied at the University of Breslau and the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau, where he was ordained in 1881. He taught Romanian language and literature in the University of Bucharest, 1881–85, published a popular history of Romanian literature, Literatura Populara Romana, and began his great chrestomathy of Romanian literature Chrestomatie Romana. In 1885, because of his protests against the treatment of the Jews, he was expelled from Romania. He settled in England where he was appointed to teach Slavonic literature at Oxford University in 1886. In 1887 he was appointed haham of the English Sephardi community. Gaster’s abilities as a scholar and an orator gave him an outstanding position both in the Anglo-Jewish community and in those areas of intellectual life in which he became a recognized authority, e. G, folklore and Samaritan literature. However, Gaster had a stubborn and combative personality, and this led to an unwillingness to retreat from a position once taken, which did not enhance his reputation. When he was principal of Judith Montefiore College, Ramsgate, he endeavored to make it an institution for training rabbis, but the attempt failed. In 1918, after disagreements with his congregation, Gaster retired from the office of haham. Gaster was active in Hibbat Zion and later in the Zionist movement. He accompanied L. Oliphant on his visits to Romania, Constantinople, and Erez Israel, and also played a considerable part in the establishment of Zikhron Ya’akov and Rosh Pinnah in Palestine, the first colonies settled by Romanian Jews. He became one of Herzl’s early supporters but opposed him on the Uganda Scheme, and this also brought him into conflict with the leaders of the English Zionist Federation, of which he was president in 1907. Throughout these years Gaster was a prominent figure at Zionist Congresses, being elected a vice president at the first four. It was to Gaster that Herbert Samuel, then in the British Cabinet, turned when he wished to establish contact with the Zionists. The conference held at Gaster’s home in February 1917 between the Zionist leaders and Sir Mark Sykes of the British Foreign Office was an important stage in the events leading to the Balfour Declaration. After World War I he returned to his dissociation from official Zionist policy; this was partly the result of his failure to satisfy his ambition of becoming the official leader of the organization. Gaster’s writings covered many branches of learning, including Romanian literature, comparative and Jewish folklore, Samaritan history and literature, rabbinic scholarship, liturgy, Anglo-Jewish history, and biblical studies. A selection of Gaster’s scattered essays appeared under the title Studies and Texts in Folklore, Magic, Medieval Romance, Hebrew Apocrypha …. Other publications are listed in the bibliographies below. Gaster assembled a magnificent library, including many manuscripts, most of which he sold to the British Museum in 1925, but he continued his literary work, despite almost total blindness” (Roth in EJ, 2007) .

Includes bibliographical references and index. Shanks (1930-) in a “U. S. Lawyer, author, and editor, particularly of archaeological materials. Shanks was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, a small town on the Ohio border. He graduated from Haverford College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School. He then joined the U. S. Justice Department, where he handled cases in the United States Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Thereafter he practiced law privately in Washington for more than 25 years, often establishing important precedents in the law. He wrote widely in legal journals and published a book on a great American jurist, entitled The Art and Craft of Judging: The Opinions of Judge Learned Hand. Although he had never formally studied the Bible or archaeology, he published his first book related to these subjects, The City of David – A Guide to Biblical Jerusalem, during a sojourn in Jerusalem in 1972–73. On his return to the United States, while continuing to practice law, Shanks founded Biblical Archaeology Review, which began as a 16-page pamphlet written entirely by himself; in the early 2000s the magazine had over a quarter of a million readers. Almost all major scholars in Bible and archaeology have published articles in BAR, in which they often explore fresh perspectives for a non-scholarly audience. BAR is known especially for exploring controversies in the world of biblical archaeology, with the editor often taking his own strong stand. Shanks founded two other magazines, Bible Review in 1985 and Archaeology Odyssey in 2000. For over 15 years, beginning in 1987, he also served as editor of Moment, a Jewish magazine founded by Elie Wiesel and Leonard Fein, and edited by Fein for 12 years before Shanks became editor. Shanks is the author of a number of books including Judaism in Stone – The Story of Ancient Synagogues, Jerusalem – An Archaeological Biography, The Mystery and Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Brother of Jesus, and Solomon’s Temple – Myth or Reality? A History of Jerusalem's Temple Mount. His articles and reviews have appeared in scholarly journals such as the Israel Exploration Journal, the Jewish Quarterly Review, and the Harvard Law Review. Literally hundreds of his articles have appeared in the magazines he has edited. He is also the editor of two widely used textbooks: Ancient Israel – From Abraham to the Roman Destruction of the Temple and Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism.

It was long known from literary sources, but its exact whereabouts, a site known as el-Salihiye, was discovered only accidentally by a British patrol during World War I. It was excavated by a Franco-American expedition in the years 1928–32. The city existed in Assyrian times and was reestablished in about 300 B. C. E. By Seleucus I Nicator. ” “The synagogue at Dura-Europos, discovered in 1932, was found in a remarkable state of preservation. It lay just inside the city wall and when the inhabitants, judged expendable by the shrinking Roman Empire, attempted to strengthen the wall against the advancing Sassanid army, they tore off the roofs of the buildings just behind the wall and filled them with sand from the desert. The synagogue was accordingly as securely buried and protected as Pompeii. The paintings, completed only some five years before the city fell, emerged from the sand nearly as fresh as when painted. ”(Goodenough & Avi-Yonah, EJ) Ex library, summary from jacket taped to front end paper, very good condition.

" She was the daughter of Jacob Adler and Dinah Shtettin, and the older half-sister of Stella, Luther Adler and Jacob Adler’s five other children. Unlike Stella and Luther, who became well known for their work with the Group Theater, their film work and as theorists of the craft of acting, she was almost exclusively a stage actress. Mainly known for her work in Yiddish theater, where she was associated with the Yiddish Art Theater movement of the 1920s and 1930s, she also gave one of the first theatrical portrayals of a Holocaust survivor, in Luther Adler’s 1946 Broadway production of A Flag Is Born (written by Ben Hecht and featuring a 22-year-old Marlon Brando, Stella Adler's prize pupil in method acting) . Adler, along with co-stars Paul Muni and Marlon Brando, refused to accept compensation above the Actor’s Equity minimum wage because of her commitment to the cause of creating a Jewish State in Israel. In 1937, Celia Adler starred in the Henry Lynn Yiddish film, Where Is My Child. From 1937-1952, she appeared in several films and television programs. Her last film was a 1985 British documentary with archive footage, Almonds and Raisins, narrated by, among others, Orson Welles, Herschel Bernardi and Seymour Rechzeit” (Wikipedia, 2010) .

Press On Behalf Of The Israel Exploration Society And The Institute Of Archaeology, Hebrew University, 1976. Hardcover, 4to, 299 pages, lxxiv plates, illustrated, 28 cm. SUBJECT (S): Tombs -- Israel -- Bet She’arim. Excavations (Archaeology) -- Bet-She’arim, Israel. Bet She’arim (Israel) -- Antiquities. Includes bibliographical references. Nahman (1905-1992) was an “Israeli archaeologist. Avigad was born in Zawalow in the Ukraine (then Austria) and studied architecture at the University of Brno, Czechoslovakia, before immigrating to Palestine in 1925. In 1928 he joined the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and over the years participated in numerous excavations, some conducted by E. L. Sukenik , including the Ophel, Beth Alpha, Hammath Gader, Samaria (joint expedition) , Tel Jerishe, Afulah, and others, as well as participating in hikes, as part of a youth group, to historical sites around the country. As a result of his earlier architectural training, Avigad had become an accomplished draftsman and graphic artist, and many excavation drawings in publications of the 1930s to 1940s were his work. Avigad’s first article in English, on a seal of a slave-girl, was published in the Palestine Exploration Quarterly in 1946. Avigad began his formal studies in archaeology in 1941 and in 1952 completed his Ph. D. And his thesis, Ancient Monuments in the Kidron Valley, was published in 1954. It was at this point that he was appointed lecturer in archaeology in the Department of Archaeology at the Hebrew University. Throughout his subsequent career, Avigad divided his scholarly interests between archaeology and Hebrew and Aramaic epigraphy. Avigad was the coauthor of A Genesis Apocryphon. A Scroll from the Wilderness of Judea. From 1953 to 1958 he directed the excavations at Bet She’arim, where he uncovered a subterranean necropolis of the second and third centuries C. E. He also participated in the 1955 survey of Masada and in two expeditions to the Judean Desert caves. A specialist in Hebrew epigraphy, he deciphered a number of important inscriptions, notably the “Epitaph of a Royal Steward” at Silwan in the Kidron Valley, inscriptions on the synagogue lintel at Kefar Neburaya, and additional inscriptions in Jason’s tomb, Jerusalem. He was awarded the Israel Prize for Jewish studies in 1977. Between 1969 and 1982 Avigad conducted a series of important excavations in the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem. Hillel Geva, his assistant on the excavations, wrote that "despite his advanced age, Avigad spent many hours at the excavations every day during the hot summer months and showed no signs of tiring as the years passed. He did not neglect the opportunity to excavate in any area in which excavation was possible and would climb down into the deep pits to personally examine details of the architectural remains and stratigraphy. It is no exaggeration to say that the excavations in the Jewish Quarter rejuvenated him. “Among his many archaeological achievements, Avigad will always be remembered for the three very important archaeological discoveries he made in Jerusalem: the finding of the Israelite “broad wall” of the city, the fire-blackened “burnt house” dating from the time of the Roman destruction of the city in 70 C. E, and the uncovering of the main street (cardo) of the Byzantine city. His popular account of these excavations appeared in a book entitled Discovering Jerusalem” (Gibson in EJ, 2007) .

Lilien, an (1874–1925) , Austrian illustrator and printmaker. Was born in Drohobycz, Galicia. He studied art in Cracow for a short time, but lack of funds forced him to return home. He eventually earned enough as a sign painter to go to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1895 he worked in Munich as a cartoonist; three years later he moved to Berlin, where he soon became known as a book illustrator. Lilien was the first artist to become involved in the Zionist movement. He took an active part in three consecutive Zionist Congresses and was a member of the Democratic Fraction, which stressed the need to foster Jewish culture. He was one of the founders of the Berlin publishing house, Juedischer Verlag, which he served not only as an illustrator but also as editor, manager, and publicity agent. In 1902 the firm published Juda, a volume of ballads on Old Testament themes by a pro-Zionist German poet, Boerries Freiherr von Muenchhausen, illustrated by Lilien.

Important Weimar German Jewish art journal, with articles and illustrations on all the major Jewish artists of the day. Much beautiful contemporary Jewish art. "Die neue Monatschrift "Menorah" ist berufen, einem wirklichen Bedürfnis weiter Kreise entgegenzukommen und gleichzeitig ein bisher unklar empfundenes Verlangen Vieler zum bewußten Bedürfnis zu gestalten.Zahlreich sind bereits die jüdischen Tagesblätter und Zeitschriften, die alle eine begrenzte, sei es politische oder religiöse Tendenz verfolgen. Diese Zeitschrift jedoch stellt sich umfassendere Aufgaben und steckt sich ein weiteres Ziel: Sie will in erster Reihe jene Bestrebungen fördern, die geeignet sind, Brücken zu schlagen zwischen den verschiedenen, oft auseinanderstrebenden Gruppen des Judentums und will auf kultureller Grundlage die notwendige Einheit herbeiführen.Die geistigen und künstlerischen Traditionen wollen wir liebevoll pflegen, den Blick in Epochen zurücklenken, in welchen es noch ein wurzelstarkes, bodenechtes, von keiner Problematik angekränkeltes Judentum gab. Mithelfen wollen wir, und das ist unser großes Ideal, eine einheitliche jüdische Kulturatmosphäre zu schaffen.Die "Menorah" dient keiner Partei, sie will zu Juden jeder Richtung sprechen, soweit sie Fragen der Politik behandelt nur referieren und in versöhnlichem Sinne berichten, durch Wort und Bild belehren, erziehen und auch in gutem Sinne unterhalten. Sie will den Blick der Leser auf die alten künstlerischen Überlieferungen im jüdischen Schaffen lenken, die zu Unrecht nur bei den wenigsten Beachtung finden, von neuen jüdischen Künstlern vermelden und ein übersichtliches Bild des zeitgenössischen literarischen Schaffens bieten. Sie wird keine politische, sondern Kulturpropaganda treiben.Diese Zeitschrift ist der jüdischen Familie gewidmet, die stets Bollwerk und Rückhalt des Judentums war. Sie will auch den Interessen der jüdischen Frauen entgegenkommen und sie an ihre Aufgaben gemahnen, die in der Tat bedeutende sind. Die jüdische Jugend wird stets geistige Anregungen aller Art finden und in ihrem Streben nach körperlicher Ertüchtigung gefördert werden. Dem würdigen Inhalt soll sich ein entsprechendes Äußere gesellen, das auch dem verfeinerten Geschmack gerecht wird.Es ist eine schöne, große Aufgabe, die wir uns gestellt haben. Uns zu ihrer Verwirklichung zu verhelfen, laden wir hiermit die jüdische Öffentlichkeit ein, in deren Hände wir vertrauensvoll dieses erste Heft unserer "Menorah" legen."
