Imprint: [New York City]: American League Against War And Fascism, 1935 1st edition. Trifold pamphlet. 8vo, [4] pages. Early Nazi-era publication distributed by the American League Against War and Fascism, with warnings primarily for the US. Includes form for membership. "These aspects of Fascism are beginning to develop here [in the US]. Our National Recovery program is concentrating authority in the hands of the executives. But the facts of wages, prices, the administration of the codes and the labor boards show that the real power is being concentrated still more in the hands of the most powerful and repressive monopolistic groups of financiers and industrialists. All the resources of the state are being used in the attempt to restore the broken down capitalist system. Again both labor and capital are being regulated. But increasingly, the right to strike, the only real defense of labor, is being taken away, and the alleged protection of the government substituted for it. But in the agencies of government which are supposed to administer this protection, labor finds the employers and their representatives entrenched in power. This taking away of the resistance power of labor is an infallible sign of Fascism. " Subjects: Fascism -- United States.

Imprint: Los Angeles, Calif. : E. R. Ames, 1935 Original Boards. 8vo. 64 pages. 21 cm. Second edition, revised. Inscribed by author on endpage. Full title: “God is not the name: a study of the deistic nomenclature of the Bible: presenting the proof therefrom that God Yahweh alone is the supreme God, and that, consequently, Yahwism, the worship of Yahweh, offers humanity its only hope of earthly emancipation. ” One of a number of self-published works by Edward Remington Ames, a Glendale member of the Bible Student Movement (one of the schisms produced within the Jehovah's Witnesses) , this and other of his works expound the need for dropping the name God in place of YHWH and Jehovah in the new testament. A few points in theology are debated, included a refutation of the trinity. During the 1930's, Ames had a brief correspondence with Theodore Dreiser, contributed one article to Dreiser's paper, and inscribed volumes of Ames works are to be found in Dresier's library. Other of Ames works are part of the accepted reading of the Jehovah's Witnesses, as can be demonstrated from numerous sites, and the fact that Ames works are at the Watchtower Bethel Library in Brooklyn. Attractively printed, with gilt title on boards and decorative endpages. Subjects: God – Name. Bible Student Movement. Oclc lists 8 copies. Light wear to cloth, otherwise clean and fresh.

Imprint: New York : Printed by William A. Davis, for Naphtali Judah, 1797 1st edition. Original leather boards. 12mo, 240 pages. 17 cm. Singerman 114. ESTC W20118; Evans 32376. Printed for Naphtali Judah, one of the earliest prominent Jewish booksellers in America; This copy owned by Solomon Etting, the first American Shochet (Kosher butcher), with his signature and “Baltimore” penned on the title page in a period hand. Solomon Etting (1764-1847) , was a "businessman, political figure, and Jewish civic rights leader [who] became a shohet at the age of 18, the first American Jew to serve in this capacity….Solomon subsequently became a banker, a shipper, a founder of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and an important businessman. He was prominent in the Baltimore Republican Society, a Jeffersonian political club. He was a leader in the defense of Baltimore against the British in the War of 1812, during which his 18-year-old son Samuel was wounded in the battle at nearby Fort McHenry. Etting was a ‘manager’ of the Maryland State Colonization Society, which sought to promote the resettlement of blacks [sic] in Africa. Etting was active in the Baltimore German Society and served as its vice president from 1820 to 1840….In 1801 he purchased land for a Jewish cemetery in Baltimore. He also led in the struggle for Jewish civic rights, opposing the Maryland law requiring of officeholders a Christian oath. As early as 1797 [this year of this publication] he appealed to the State Legislature on behalf of a ‘sect of people called Jews, deprived of invaluable rights of citizenship and praying to be placed on the same footing as other good citizens.’ This petition initiated a three-decade struggle, which ended successfully in 1826. Soon thereafter, Etting served as a Baltimore councilman. Solomon Etting's second wife was the daughter of the prominent leader Barnard Gratz" (EJ, 2007). This copy also bears the later booklate of an institution founded by members of the Gratz family, so we presume this marriage to have played a part in the book’s sojourn there. British-Jewish scholar David Levi's (1742-1801) defense of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) against rationalist critiques of scriptural authority by none other than American patriot Thomas Paine. Paine made the attack in his in his 1793 work "The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology" 4 years earlier, and Levi's responses are addressed directly and defiantly to Paine himself. This work is unusual in that most religious defenders of the Bible against Paine were Christian, while Levi is of course Jewish. In fact, Levi is considered the first Jewish writer to theologically defend Judaism as such in English. A copy lacking any significant provenance sold at auction in 2021 for over $2750.

Original photographic boards, 8vo, 130 pages. “Writing the Jewish Self explores the fraught aftermath of the German Jewish conversionary experience through the medium of one family grappling with its fateful Jewish origins in a post-Holocaust, post-exilic milieu. Engaging contemporary scholarship to examine both archival family texts and interviews traversing three generations, it traces the impact of a contested Jewish identity on the deconstruction and reconstruction of the Jewish self. Focusing on the personal to illuminate a complex historical phenomenon, this book proposes a new cultural history that challenges conventional boundaries of what is Jewish and what is not. >>The book is fascinating and important, focusing on a very seldom analyzed” (From the rear cover). ”The book is fascinating and important, focusing on a very seldom analyzed question: What forms of Jewishness - identification, affiliation, historical interest, religious practice - persist among Jews who convert and among their descendants? [...] Without making claims to explaining the phenomenon of the persistence of Jewishness in conversion as a general topic, the book presents a stunning range of responses to the question at hand.” (Naomi Seidman, Chancellor Jackman Professor In the Arts, University of Toronto, Canada)New Condition.

Imprint: London : Anglo-Palestinian Club, 1946 Presume 1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 16mo (pocket sized), 32 pages. 13 cm. In August “ 1940, David Ben-Gurion…attended a reception at the Anglo-Palestinian Club in London’s Windmill Street for those members of the Palestinian Company of the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps who had escaped Hitler’s forces.Above all, he was astounded at the resilience of the British at this time of national peril and, if necessary, to stand alone against the Nazi plague.He wrote to his long suffering wife, Paula: ‘I am dumbfounded by the levelheadedness and inner confidence of this wonderful nation. It is as if nothing can shock it and nothing undermines its faith and confidence that victory will come in the end.’ Simultaneously he raged against the terrible reality that the Jews were powerless both in the Yishuv (Jewish settlement in Palestine) and in the diaspora to stop the conquering Nazi armies….Ben-Gurion saw his trip as an act of solidarity with London, whose citizens were dying in their tens of thousands. It was also an act of resistance. He wrote: ‘I saw consummate heroism, physical and moral, not of individuals, not of pioneers. but of a nation, of millions of workers, merchants, shopkeepers, office workers... I know of no more majestic and sublime sight in all of history.’He included the Jews of Whitechapel in that tribute. In Ben-Gurion’s eyes, London became sanctified and he felt ‘holiness in that place’”(Shindler in Jewish Chronicle, 2019).OCLC: 1117627654. OCLC lists one copy worldwide (NLI).

Imprint: New York; Jewish Historical Society Of New York, 1979 Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 12 pages. 23 cm. Printed in brown ink on cream paper, with illustrated wraps. Contains the lecture delivered by Charles Angoff to commemorate the poem “The New Colossus” at the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1978, which affords extensive documentation of the literary biography and political activism of Emma Lazarus, one of the first renowned Jewish writers in American literary history. Includes facsimile copy of the manuscript of “New Colossus” as well portrait of Emma Lazarus; with frontispiece dedication to Charles Angoff and his portrait as well, who “did not live to see this publication in print. ” Emma Lazarus (1849–1887) , “U. S. Poet, essayist, and activist. Lazarus was born in New York on July 22, 1849, to Moses Lazarus, a wealthy industrialist of Sephardi heritage, and his wife Esther Nathan Lazarus of Ashkenazi background. Both sides of her family had been in America since the Revolution. Lazarus, who was educated at home by private tutors, was originally attracted to classical and romantic art and literature. During the course of her career, she struck up tutelary relationships with important male writers, especially Ralph Waldo Emerson, and including Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Henry James. Her early works included Poems and Translations: Written Between the Ages of Fourteen and Sixteen, published privately by her father in 1867, a novel Alide: An Episode of Goethe's Life (1874) , and a historical tragedy, The Spagnoletto (1876) , as well as a translation of poems by Heinrich Heine, accompanied by a biographical study. By the time she wrote her best-known poem, ‘The New Colossus’ (1883) , a hymn to America, the ‘Mother of Exiles, ’ she had repudiated the glorification of male conquering power, aestheticism, and empty ceremony and asserted instead the power of womanhood, the comfort of motherhood, and the Hebraic prophetic values of compassion and consolation. Lazarus began her return to Jewish tradition in the late 1870s, studying Hebrew and reading Graetz's History of the Jews and George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda, with its plea for a Jewish national revival. Lazarus began to publish translations of the medieval Spanish-Jewish poets, Judah Halevi , Solomon ibn Gabirol , and others. The Russian pogroms of 1881 and the May Laws of 1882 fired both her social consciousness and her poetic imagination, prompting a series of essays in American journals, especially in Century Magazine (May 1882) , where she replied to an antisemitic article by a Russian journalist, Madame Z. Ragozin. ‘The Dance Unto Death, ’ a verse tragedy about the burning of the Jews of Nordhausen during the Black Death appeared in Songs of a Semite (1882) , dedicated to George Eliot, ‘the illustrious writer who did most among the artists of our day towards elevating and ennobling the spirit of Jewish Nationality. ’ Lazarus's series of 14 essays, ironically entitled ‘Epistle to the Hebrews, ’ written from November 1882 to February 1883, were intended to ‘bring before the Jewish public… facts and critical observations… to arouse a more logical and intelligent estimate of the duties of the hour. ’ Lazarus also involved herself in the practical work of helping new immigrants adjust to America, founding the Hebrew Technical Institute for Vocational Training. In 1883 she sailed to London, armed with letters of introduction from Henry James to well-placed people in England, Jews and non-Jews, who might help her in her effort towards the establishment of a Jewish national home-land. A decade before Theodore Herzl launched the Zionist movement, Lazarus argued in poetry and prose for Palestine as a safe haven for oppressed Jews everywhere. Lazarus, who never married, died of cancer at the age of 38. After her death, her sister, Josephine Lazarus, prohibited the inclusion of ‘anything Jewish’ in the collected edition of her works that appeared in 1889. ‘The New Colossus, ’ with its famous image of ‘huddled masses yearning to breathe free, ’ was engraved on a memorial plaque and affixed to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903.” (EJ 2007) Publications of the Jewish Historical Society of New York; number 3.

Imprint: Chicago: No Publisher [The Author], 1904 1st edition. Original gilt tooled publisher’s cloth, folio (large), [145], 60, [43] pages. Author inscribed with author’s stamp on front endpaper. In Hebrew. Title translates as “Innovations of the Fathers.” Goldman 595: “Anixter was born ca.1829 and he immigrated to New York ca 5634 [1874]. By 1877 he was in Chicago…where he served as a pulpit rabbi for thirty-five years and was a member of the city’s Board of Rabbis/Va’ad Harabbonim….He was also a member of Schochrei Sath Eber/Seekers of Hebrew Literature and he supported the activities of Hayyim Halevi…He died in 1914…Hidushe Avi contains Talmudic novellae, response, homilies and Biblical commentaries. Some of the responsa were sent to Anixter by R. Isaac Elhanan Spektor of Kovno, R. Naphtali Zevi Juda Berlin [Netziv], R Eliezer Simhah Rabinowitz, Ra. Raphael Shapira of Volozhin and R. Moses Judah Joshua Leib Siskin of Jerusalem. Among those who solicited responsa from him were rabbis in Baltiore (pp. 34-8; see also pp 56-60), ‘R. Zev’ of Des Moines (pp. 28-31), and CHicago Jews. Among the subjets of the responsa are: constructing mikva’ot with rubber pites; how to write gittin in CHicago; shehitah; conversion; tevilat kelim (ritual immersion of kitchen and dining utensils) in a sink; and the status of a cohen (priest) who enrolls his son in a missionary school. Anixter contrasted the state of Jewish learning in American with that in Europe, and reflected on how he lacked the basic texts for Talmud study in New York (this was rectified upon his arrival in Chicago).” Rabbi Lurie wrote in his approbation, “I was very glad that we hae merited to see that our holy Torah has spread out its beauty to the other side of the ocean in the New World…and that in a place where previously wide people lived now the disputes between Aaye and Rabba are heard.”Morris Gutstein, in his work on the Jews of Chicago, notes that “Rabbi Anixter was widely ramed for this profound Talmudic scholarship, his piety and his devotion to the cause of Orthodox Judaism in Chicago” (Gutstein, A Priceless Heritage, 1953, p.130).SUBJECT(S): Talmud -- Commentaries.
