Ganzfried states in his introduction that his primary sources, in addition to Yosef Karo’s Shulhan ‘arukh itself, were the halakhic works of the rabbis Ya‘akov Lorbeerbaum of Lissa (Leszno) , Shneur Zalman of Liady, and Avraham Danzig, and whenever their opinions divided, he concurred with the majority ruling. The Kitsur Shulhan ‘arukh was very popular during Ganzfried’s lifetime; indeed, it was one of the most widely accepted halakhic books for the religious public. Dozens of editions were printed, and the book was translated more than once into English, Yiddish, French, German, and Hungarian. Various commentaries on the Kitsur were written as well—although Ganzfried had opposed this, as he wished to retain the concise format of his original version. ” - YIVO Encyclopedia.

Title notes “According to the New Law;” this may refer to “Passage of the Expatriation Act of 1907 eliminated the uncertainty created in 1855, definitively stating that marriage solely determined all women's nationality.The law immediately revoked the nationality of married women, regardless of whether they were born in the United States or naturalized, if they were married to a non-citizen. It was retroactive and did not require a wife's consent, leaving many women unaware that they had lost their nationality” (Wikipedia). Harkavy (1863–1939) was a leading Yiddish lexicographer. The “grandson of the rabbi of Novogrodek (Yid. Navaredok), Harkavy was born in that Belorussian town….After the pogroms of 1881 Harkavy moved to Warsaw and joined the Am Olam movement, before immigrating to the United States….He was in Paris in 1885, returned to New York in 1886, [and] taught Hebrew at a talmud torah in Montreal in 1887, where he published the first Yiddish newspaper (Di Tsayt), went to Baltimore in 1889 and there founded the short-lived periodical Der Yidisher Progres, before returning once more to New York in 1890. A year later his first popular textbook, Der Englisher Lerer (‘The English Teacher’), was published, of which almost 100,000 copies were sold. Through this and other books in the 'English self-taught' genre, such as his guide to writing letters, Der Englisher Brivnshteler ('The English Letter-Writer,' 1892), Yiddish translations of classics, classroom lectures and popular expositions of American history and culture, New York Yiddish literary anthologies (Der Nayer Gayst, 'The New Spirit,' 1897–98; Der Tsvantsikster Yorhundert, 'The Twentieth Century,' 1900), and above all his Yiddish dictionaries, he became the teacher par excellence of two generations of immigrants. ….He taught U.S. history and politics for the New York Board of Education and Yiddish literature and grammar at the Jewish Teachers' Seminary in New York, while also lecturing for the Workmen's Circle….His English-Yiddish and Yiddish-English dictionaries, encompassing about 40,000 Yiddish words, went through two dozen editions and reprints. His crowning work was the Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary (1925; suppl. 1928; fifth reprint 1988), which played a significant role in educating East European Jewish immigrants in English and is still an outstanding example of a multilingual dictionary used by Yiddish speakers and lexicographers.(Mordkhe Schaechter and Jean Baumgarten in EJ).

Born in Nizhyn (Chernigov district, Ukraine) , Mani Leib arrived in the U. S. In 1905 after having participated in the Russian revolutionary movement. He immediately began publishing poems in New York's leading Yiddish periodicals and in the anthologies of the American Yiddish literary movement Di Yunge, which had impressionistic, art-for-art's-sake poetic principles that Leib helped to establish and followed faithfully. Largely eschewing social concerns, he crafted formally unified poems that affirmed a belief in the ability of art to compensate for human suffering. His ‘sound poems’ drew renewed attention to the Yiddish language through their skillful use of alliteration and repetition. His most prolific year was 1918 when 11 of his collections appeared. His ballads and tales were incorporated into the Yiddish school curriculum and formed the basis of his widespread popularity. In 1925 he was coeditor of ‘Insel’ one of the principal anthologies of Di Yunge. ” (EJ 2008) Farlag Matones was founded by “the Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute, an organization established in New York in 1918 to coordinate a secular Yiddish school system. ....

4to; No Date (1945). 1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 8vo 40 pages; Illustrated with facsimiles and a double page map indicating the Jewish Population in Pre-Hitler Europe. From the Preface by Albert Einstein: "This material is selected from a collection of documents dealing with the destruction of large sections of the Jewish people. It appears in the present brochure prior to the publication of the complete report." It includes contributions from Grossman on Treblinka, the Nuremberg Laws, Sutzkever on Schweigenburg and Maurer, The Colored Slips, some material collected by Ehrenburg, etc. The Black Book itself, published in 1946 was “an indictment of the Holocaust and documentation of evidence leading up to it commissioned by the World Jewish Congress. It was submitted for evidence at the Nuremberg Trials as evidence against the Nazis for crimes against the Jewish people. The book was prepared in 1946 by the Jewish Black Book Committee, which included the World Jewish Congress; the Jewish Anti Fascist Committee, USSR; Vaad Leumi, Palestine; and the American Committee of Jewish Writers, Artists, and Scientists. The Black Book is broken down into seven sections: Indictment, Conspiracy, The Law, Strategy of Decimation, Annihilation, Resistance, and Justice. Indictment: This section, written by Max Radin, outlines the accusations against the Nazis that the book makes. Radin gives three ways in which the Nazis killed Jews: pogrom, gas chamber, and starvation. He also accuses the Nazis of deliberately organizing society to put Jews at the bottom, indoctrinating children to think like Nazis, and robbing Jews of their property and driving them from their homes. Conspiracy: This section, written by Frances McClernan, describes the beginnings of Nazi antisemitism as a carefully organized plan that was a basic part of Nazi dynamics. First, the Nazis hid their plan to take over the world by accusing Jews of planning the same. Using pseudoscience and falsified history, they created something called the ‘Jewish World Plot’ where the Jews would exterminate Aryans and take over the world. The Nazis rejected the God of the Old Testament, since he was described as ‘the God of the Jews’. They would often selectively choose passages of the New Testament to support their ideology. In 1937, Dr. Heinz Weidemann, Bishop of Bremen, wrote a Nazified version of the Gospel of St. John. In order to indoctrinate children to Nazism, the Nazis not only had to educate the youth of Germany but also had to un-educate years of European culture. After ten years of Nazi propaganda and grooming society to believe that Jews were the enemy, they eventually came to actual violence in 1932 when shops were destroyed and people beaten. On March 29th of the following year, a boycott of Jewish businesses was ordered. Nazis spread antisemitism in any country they could. Often, they advertised antisemitism as a defensive front against communism. The Nazis made Jews the enemy of the Soviets, saying that the USSR was controlled by Jews living in prosperity while the people suffered. They also planted Judaism in any country they could to justify their aggression, such as using photographs as evidence that Franklin Roosevelt was a Jew. They used this to justify the war. The Law: This section, written by Anne L. Bloch, gives a history of all anti-Jew laws passed by the Nazis starting in April 1933 and extending throughout the war. These laws were based on what the 'Aryan Man' deemed right or wrong, and since Jews were considered a 'legal wrong' they had to be eliminated. Strategy of Decimation: This section, written by Gitel Poznanski, describes the three ways that the Nazis weakened the Jewish population before putting them into death camps. The first was expulsion - forcing the Jews out of Nazi-occupied land and into Poland or the USSR. This made them easier targets for slave labor later and severed any connections they may have made at home. The first arrests of Jews were for their ‘protection’, which quickly turned into the first detention camps in 1933. Using these camps as a threat, the Nazis forced Jews to emigrate very quickly, which often lead to illegal immigration. In Austria this process was much worse. In Germany the process of expulsion took place over about five years, but after the Anschluss the process was carried out in only a few months. Because of this there were over 3,500 deaths by suicide in the first year of the occupation, and the number of Jews in Austria shrunk from 180,000 to 55,000. Poznanski goes on to describe similar practices in many other Nazi-occupied countries: Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, Greece, and Yugoslavia. The next process was the institution of slave labor. 165,000,000 Europeans were forced to work under threat of being sent to concentration camps. The Nazi strategy was not to treat them like valuable resources to be kept alive; instead they were 'worked to the point of debilitation' and ‘kept on the edge of starvation’. This practice was carried out in Germany, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, France, and Poland. The last process was starvation. The book provides many graphs and figures of how much food was rationed to people in each occupied country. Germany always got the most food, and any food to be found in another country was pillaged so that ‘Germany ate while her subjects starved’. Annihilation: This section describes the grim Nazi death camps and how they came to be. Originally Nazis would kill the Jews using traditional methods of hanging and shooting, but these were found to be too slow and inefficient. To fix this problem, they started using the gas chamber as their main method of murder. When they realized that the tide of the war had turned and that they might be forced to answer for their crimes, the Nazis began to dig up the corpses of those who had been killed in gas chambers and burn them. In order to again make the process more efficient, crematoriums were built on the gas chambers. This section also provides many eyewitness accounts of the concentration camps, mostly prisoners of war. Resistance and Justice: These sections, written by Frances McClernan and B.Z. Goldberg respectively, are the two shortest in the book. The first, Resistance, describes how the Jewish people resisted during the war, and how some of them escaped. The second and last, Justice, states how everything documented in the book is not the complete record of Nazi crimes, and could never represent the ‘full horror of the Nazi nightmare’. The section also brings the book to a conclusion: ‘The objective of this effort was to bring before the world the basic pattern and the salient, incontestable facts of the murderous fascist conspiracy against the Jews.’ Initial reviews for The Black Book were mixed. Frederic Ewen called it ‘the most thoroughly documented and dramatic indictment of the Nazi atrocities available today’ and ‘a story which must be read for its horrible truth’. However, Hannah Arendt thought the book a technical failure, saying ‘The Black Book fails because its authors, submerged in a chaos of details, were unable to understand or make clear the nature of the facts confronting them’” (Wikipedia).OCLC 22146635.

Paper wrappers, 4to. , 178 pages. In Yiddish. Edition: Yubileum-oysgabe. 2nd Edition. Series: Sholem Aleichem, ; 1859-1916.; Works, Volume 4. On title page verso: Copyright 1909 by J. Lidski, Washington U. S. A. As well as title in Russian. Sholem Aleichem (Shalom Rabinovitz; 1859–1916) was “one of the founding fathers of modern Yiddish literature. A supreme Jewish humorist, Sholem Aleichem tapped into the energies of the East European, spoken-Yiddish idiom and invented modern Jewish archetypes, myths, and fables of unequaled imaginative potency and universal appeal. Born in the provincial town of Pereyaslav (Ukraine) to a middle-class family of timber merchants, Rabinovitz spent a happy childhood in Voronkov. Here he was suffused with impressions and experiences that he would later utilize artistically, sublimating memories of his tiny childhood hamlet into the literary image of Kasrilevke, the archetypal shtetl...The years 1883–1890 formed a distinct part of Sholem Aleichem’s career, during which he produced much work (in three languages) , the majority of which was never to be included in his official oeuvre, or was thoroughly rewritten later. Sholem Aleichem’s literary activity during these years was divided between the gentrification and “Europeanization” of Yiddish literature and the writing of sequences of feuilletons. When he began writing in Yiddish, literature in that language lacked cultural status and artistic respectability…Most of its writers hid behind pseudonyms, saving their real names for their productions in other languages...In 1890, Sholem Aleichem entered a literary limbo. He no longer had the time or the financial resources to maintain the same level of literary productivity as in the 1880s...Nevertheless, it was during this decade that Sholem Aleichem devised two critical literary inventions. The first, the character Menakhem Mendl, had briefly appeared in an epistolary feuilleton in 1887 as a young husband still living with his in-laws. Now Menakhem Mendl, already the father of several children, found himself in Odessa, experimented as a small-time stock investor, and forgot about returning to his family. One immediately sensed that the reappearance of Menakhem Mendl in this work marked a sublimation of the habitual hilarity of the author’s earlier farces and satires. The character gained semiautobiographical importance in terms of Sholem Aleichem’s own disastrous penchant for speculation, as well as a depth of significance emanating from the projection of the character as a Jewish “hero” of a comic myth. This archetype was at once a version of the modern homo economicus, as well as a representative for henpecked Jewish manhood celebrating its freedom from repressive cultural and familial institutions. The development of this figure was of the greatest symbolic significance, and Menakhem Mendl was to follow Sholem Aleichem throughout his creative life, with new sequels of epistolary exchanges between the speculator and his wife finally occupying two volumes in the author’s collected writings” (Miron, YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe) .

Mendele Mokher Seforim (1835-1917) is revered as the “grandfather of Yiddish literature” for his innovations in laying a new literary framework for Yiddish. His work realistically portrayed Jewish life with honesty and without judgment and depicted the world of the shtetl [village] with all its poverty and decay; all its joy and poetry. Mendele was born in Belorussia (Belarus) and came from a comfortable family of Lithuanian rabbis. He initially wrote in Hebrew and was a proponent of the Haskalah, but started writing writing in Yiddish in the 1860s (Stevens, 2019). SUBJECTS: Yiddish-language study. OCLC Number:234575366.

1st edition. Later pamphlet protector, 12mo, 30 pages. 20 cm. In Yiddish. A play. Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich (1859 –1916) , better known under his pen name Sholem Aleichem, was the leading Yiddish author and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th Century. “The musical Fiddler on the Roof, based on his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish life in Eastern Europe. …. From 1880 to 1883 he served as crown rabbi in Lubny…. After witnessing the pogroms that swept through southern Russia in 1905, Sholem Aleichem left Kiev and resettled to New York City, where he arrived in 1906.…In July 1908, during a reading tour in Russia, Sholem Aleichem collapsed on a train going through Baranowicze. He was diagnosed with a relapse of acute hemorrhagic tuberculosis and spent two months convalescing in the town's hospital.

He entered the University of Kiev in 1905, but studies were interrupted due to a general strike....Ben-Zvi settled in Ere? Israel at the beginning of 1907. In the same year he was a Po'alei Zion delegate from Ere? Israel to the Eighth Zionist Congress held in The Hague. He participated in the founding of the Bar Giora organization in Jaffa in 1907, and in 1909 of Ha-Shomer , along with Rahel Yanait (Ben-Zvi) , who had settled in Ere? Israel in 1908, and was to become his wife in 1918...In 1910 Ben-Zvi, together with Ra? El Yanait, Ze'ev Ashur, and others, founded the first Hebrew socialist periodical in Ere? Israel, A? Dut ("Unity") . Upon the outbreak of World War I, Ben-Zvi interrupted his studies at the University of Constantinople and returned to Ere? Israel. During the persecution of Jews by Jamal Pasha, the Ottoman governor, A? Dut was closed down, and Ben-Zvi, together with David Ben-Gurion, was imprisoned. They were both deported, and eventually made their way to New York. There they founded in 1915 the He-? Alutz movement of America...After the establishment of the State of Israel, Ben-Zvi was elected as a Mapai member to the First and Second Knessets. Upon the death of President Chaim Weizmann in 1952, he was elected president of the State. He was elected to a second term in 1957, and to a third term in 1962.

His research on the history of the people of Israel was a lifelong endeavor. The scholarly works that he published were devoted mainly to research on communities and sects (such as the Samaritans, Karaites, Shabbateans, Jewish communities in Asia and Africa, the mountain Jews, and others) and to the geography of Ere?

Contains a Marxist discussion of art and aesthetics in the contexts of the development of an Art Collection for Birobidzhan; news from Birobizhan, reports from ICOR sections; etc. Includes news from Birobizhan, reports from ICOR sections; etc. Nazi-era Communist monthly in support of Soviet Birobidjan, the Soviet Autonomos Jewish Republic. Much on rising Antisemitism in Germany, as well as, of course, the history of antisemitism in pre-Soviet Russia, reports Icor and settlement of Jews into Birobidzhan, why Icor opposes Zionism, photos, literary works, including poetry, fiction, humor, satire and other materials covering virtually all aspects of life in the Jewish Autonomous region. In the first issue of Nailebn, the editors proudly proclaimed that the magazine “will bring out more to the fore the work and objects of ICOS [Idishe Kolonizatsie Organizatsie, also known as IKOR]. This organisation is one of a body of similar organisations carrying on the same work in 22 countries. This work is to propagate in this country the complete reconstruction of the Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. What is actually the position of the Jewish masses in the U.S.S.R.? While in Germany, Poland and Romania new waves of pogroms and persecution indicate the terrible plight of millions of Jews in Europe, we have in contrast to this in one part of the world which covers one-sixth of the world's surface, a completely different picture. There, in the Soviet Union, where a new social order is being built the Jews have achieved an economic and political freedom which the Jews in the most democratic capitalist country have never known. Within 10 years the whole mode of Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. has been completely reconstructed. From an isolated and persecuted caste of economic parasites they have been transformed into healthy productive workers on an equal footing with all other citizens in the Soviet Union. The five flourishing Jewish National Regions and the Jewish Autonomous Territory of Biro Bidjan show what the erstwhile ‘Luft Mensch’ has accomplished under a government which stands for the complete freedom and self-determination of all its nationalities. The new Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. stands out as a beacon for those struggling and persecuted Jews in Fascist and semi-Fascist countries. This is the task which ICOS has set itself and which ‘New Life’ will help considerably in carrying out - of showing more and more people the way the Jewish problem has been solved in the U.S.S.R. In a period like the present, when some of the bloodiest pages in Jewish history are being written, an organisation like ICOS, carrying on such important work, should have the support of every progressive Jew in this country." Includes news from Birobizhan, reports from ICOR sections; etc. Like IKOR before it, Naylebn (New Life) was the monthly official organ of the pro-Soviet Jewish organization ICOR (Idishe kolonizatsya organizatsye, Association for Jewish Colonization in the Soviet Union). This monthly publication was issued on high quality paper in Yiddish and English from 1928 to 1935 under the title Icor, and from 1935 to 1950 as Nailebn. The magazine features articles, photos, literary works, including poetry, fiction, humor, satire and other materials covering virtually all aspects of life in the Jewish Autonomous region.
