Imprint: Michigan; University Of Michigan, Jean And Samuel Frankel Center For Judaic Studies, 2004 Original Wrappers. 8vo. 38 pages. 20 cm. First edition. No. 11 in the David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs series. Presented March 17, 2004. “In the decade and a half following the end of World War II, that global conflagration which brought about the death of one-third of the Jewish people and the destruction of much of European Jewish communal life, American Jewry found many times, places, and modes of expression to articulate its intense reactions to that calamity. While historians may find it difficult, if not nearly impossible, to recreate the ways in which individual Jews talked about this catastrophic event in their homes or how they incorporated direct references and analogies to it into the discourse of their private spheres of everyday life, Jewish institutions – synagogues, schools, summer camps, publishing houses, magazines and newspapers – left an easily recoverable paper trail that reveals a community that felt itself obliged to remember and commemorate. These formal institutions of American Jewish life, spanning a spectrum of ideologies and political positions vis-ŕ-vis the concerns of the day, wove the details of the catastrophe into their rhetorical repertoires and used references to it to shape their political projects. ” (Page 1) .

Imprint: Moskve [Moscow]: Tsentraler Felker-Farlag fun F.S.S.R., 1929 1st edition. Bound in later basic boards, 8vo, 136 pages. 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as, “For the stage: (Stories, Plays, Songs).” Includes musical notation, with music for 1-3 voices, principally unaccompanied. Dobrushin (1883–1953) was a “Soviet Yiddish literary author, critic, and scholar….Between 1902 and 1909, he lived in Paris, where he studied law at the Sorbonne and was active in the socialist Zionist movement. After recovering from an illness that had confined him to bed for several years, he published his first collection of poetry and short plays, Benkende neshomes (Longing Souls) in 1912; other publications soon followed. In 1916, Dobrushin settled in Kiev and his articles and poetry appeared in various Hebrew and Yiddish periodicals. During the civil war, he edited and contributed to the publications of the Kultur-lige. In 1920, he moved to Moscow, where he coedited the magazine Shtrom and other Soviet Yiddish periodicals.A prolific poet, playwright, and critic, Dobrushin enthusiastically responded to new developments in Jewish life in the Soviet Union. In the late 1920s, he was a regular visitor to Jewish agricultural settlements in Crimea, where he collected material for sketches and plays that were later produced on the Soviet Yiddish stage. As the chief literary consultant for the Moscow State Yiddish Theater (GOSET), Dobrushin adapted a number of works of Yiddish literature for the stage. In his capacity as a theater critic and historian, he published significant studies on the dramaturgy of Avrom Goldfadn, Mendele Moykher-Sforim, Sholem Aleichem, and Y. L. Peretz (collected under the title Di dramaturgye fun di klasiker [The Dramaturgy of the Classical Writers]; 1948), as well as on the Soviet Yiddish theater, including monographs about Yiddish actors Binyomin Zuskin (1939) and Solomon Mikhoels (1940). Dobrushin was the only critic and playwright among a group of six Soviet Yiddish writers who were awarded high Soviet decorations in 1939, and a village in Crimea was named after him.Dobrushin’s literary criticism covered all of Soviet Yiddish literature from the 1920s to the 1940s….As a literary historian, Dobrushin paid special attention to Sholem Aleichem, particularly to elements of folklore in his works. Dobrushin’s book Dovid Bergelson (1947) contains, notwithstanding its dogmatic Marxist-Leninist methodology, many valuable insights, and remains the only monographic study of one of the greatest of Yiddish writers. Another major theme of Dobrushin’s research was Yiddish folklore. In one of his last articles published before his arrest in 1948, he called for the collection and study of folklore among the survivors of the Holocaust. He was active in the historical commission of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee from 1942. Dobrushin was arrested in late 1948, tortured during the interrogation, and sent to a prison camp in the Arctic Circle, where he died in exile in 1953” (Krutikov in YIVO Encyclopedia). For more on Dobrushin, see Gennady Estraikh, “In Harness: Yiddish Writers’ Romance with Communism” (Syracuse, N.Y., 2005) and Jeffrey Veidlinger, “The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage” (Bloomington, Ind., 2000).

Imprint: Toronto; Homin Ukrainy, 1953 Original Wrappers. 8vo. 95 pages. 22 cm. First Editon. About the life and poetry of Olena Teliha written by Dmytro Dontsov, a fellow member of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists . Olena Teliha was a Ukrainian Nationalist poet and leader. "From 1933 [Olena Teliha] contributed to the nationalist journal Vistnyk (Lviv) . In Cracow from 1939 to 1941, she headed the literary-artistic society Zarevo and together with Oleh Olzhych worked in the cultural sector of the Leadership of Ukrainian Nationalists. With the outbreak of the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union she moved to Lviv and then left with the OUN expeditionary groups for Kyiv in 1941. There she became head of the Writers' Union and editor of the literary weekly Litavry (Kyiv) . When the Nazi regime closed down Litavry's parent newspaper, "Ukrainske slovo" (1941) , and replaced it with the pro-regime "Nove ukrainske slovoa", Teliha refused to co-operate. She was arrested by the Gestapo and shot, together with other Ukrainian nationalists." (Encyclopedia of Ukraine) In 2005, researcher Kateryna Kryvoruchko discovered previously unknown poetry written by Teliha. Included in the collection is "Drained That Goblet Thousands of Times"ť believed to have been written as late as 1940, two years before Teliha's death. "'Drained That Goblet Thousands Of Times' is a symbolic poem written in response to the allegation that the poet led on the theoretician of Ukrainian nationalism, Dmytro Dontsov. "The newly discovered poem contains a response to Olena's ill-wishers: she and the unnamed man (most likely Dontsov) are friends, comrades in arms, and nothing more."ť (Tysiachna, The Long Return, 2005, day. Kiev. Ua) Dmytro Dontsov was a political journalist, editor, literary critic and theorist for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. After emigrating to Canada in the late 1940's, his strong opposition to Russia, and unending support of Ukrainian independence was still present in his writing and work in continued support of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

Imprint: Tel-Aviv: Pe’er Ha-Sefer, 1969 (FT) Hardcover, 8vo, 2 volumes, facsims. , 25 cm. In Hebrew. SUBJECT(S) : Descriptor: Hasidism. Named Person: Dov Baer, of Mezhirech, d. 1772. Title Subject: Bible. O. T. -- Commentaries. Talmud -- Commentaries. “? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ”: volume 2, page 211-248.”? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ”: volume 2, page 209-210 . Dov Baer(d. 1772) was “one of the earliest and most important leaders of Hasidism. As a youth, Dov Baer received a traditional religious education in the yeshivah of R. Jacob Joshua Falk , author of Penei Yehoshu’a. He taught in Torchin and later became preacher in Korets and Rovno. Subsequently he moved to Mezhirech in Volhynia, which became the center of the Hasidic movement, and toward the end of his life he moved to Annopol (Hanipol) . An erudite talmudic scholar, Dov Baer also made a profound study of Kabbalah, adopting the system of Lurianic Kabbalah and an ascetic way of life. The mortifications to which he subjected himself eventually made him ill; he contracted a disease which affected his legs and he became bedridden. Tradition relates that he sought a cure from Israel b. Eliezer (the Ba’al Shem Tov) , the originator of modern Hasidism, whose reputation as a healer was widespread, and Dov Baer became one of his foremost disciples. After the death of the Ba’al Shem Tov in 1760, Dov Baer was recognized as his successor to leadership of the movement... The authority of Dov Baer as the main proponent of Hasidism was apparently only recognized in 1766, and even then there were a few notable exceptions such as Phinehas of Korets. Unlike his predecessor, Dov Baer was not a man of the people, and his illness made it difficult for him to associate with his disciples. He possessed charismatic qualities, however, and was an eloquent preacher and teacher. Dov Baer was highly esteemed by his disciples, who not only derived spiritual sustenance from his teachings and utterances but also divined an inner significance in his daily life and actions” (Liebes in EJ 2010) .

"Passover, 1948, marks the third Seder Service after the redemption from the bondage of the Nazi tyranny. “ (from page 1) .
