Feiertags Küchenkalender für die jüdische Hausfrau [Holiday Recipes for the Jewish Housewife]. [Frankfurt am Mein]: Heim des jüdischen Frauenbundes Neu-Isenburg [Home of the Jewish Women's League in Neu-Isenburg], [1910-1920]. German.
A booklet with dozens of recipes for the Jewish holidays, including recipes for Shavuot, Tishat HaYamim, Rosh HaShana, the eve of Yom Kippur, Passover, Purim, and more. On the back cover of the booklet appear advertisements for Jewish businesses and stores. The booklet was issued by the "Home of the Jewish Women's League" in Neu-Isenburg, close to Frankfurt – a Jewish shelter for girls at risk, pregnant women, single mothers and children (legitimate and illegitimate) which provided its residents with education and training in household maintenance. The shelter was established in 1907 by Bertha Pappenheim (1859-1936), a feminist, the founder of the League of Jewish Women and a pioneer in the field of social-work. Pappenheim was an activist for Jewish women and an activist in the struggle against prostitution and trafficking in women.
In 1938, a day after Kristallnacht, the main building of the "Home of the Jewish Women's League" was burned down. In 1942, the Gestapo invaded the place and its remaining residents were sent to concentration camps.
12 pp, 21X15 cm. The booklet is stapled. Good condition. Stains (some of them dark). Small tears to the edges and corners of leaves. Tears and blemishes to cover.
Not in NLI.

16 group photographs documenting members of Zionist and Jewish organizations in Poland. Most of them were taken in Kovel (Volyn province. Today in Ukraine), [1920s-1930s].
Group photographs of members of various Zionist and Jewish organizations, most of them from the city of Kovel; mounted on cardboard mounts. Many of the photographs depict Avraham Meir (Meytze) Weisbrot, one of the Zionist leaders in Kovel, the chairman of the "Tze'irei Zion" Organization and vice chairman of the Palestine Office in the town. Several of the photographs are inscribed to Weisbrot for his immigration to Palestine in 1925. Some of them are captioned in the plate or on verso (in pencil) and some bear photographers' stamps.
Among the photographs: • Group photograph depicting Arieh Leib Yaffe, captioned on verso: "A visit of Leib yaffe in 1924" (Hebrew). • Photograph of the committee of the "Tarbut" Hebrew Gymnasium in Kovel. • Photograph of school children and their teachers, captioned in the plate: "'Tarbut' library in Kovel, founded by the American committee… in 1920. Photograph B. Geller, Kovel" (Hebrew). • Two photographs of the members of the "Tze'irei Zion" Movement, one of them captioned in the plate: "The first conference of 'Tze'irei Zion' in Volyn, Rivne 16-20 Tamuz 1921" (Hebrew). • Two photographs of Avraham Meir Weisbrot with his friends, members of "Tze'irei Zion" in Kovel, taken before his immigration to Palestine in 1925. On their verso, inscriptions signed by the members of the movement. • Photograph of Weisbrot with the members of the Palestine Office, also taken before his immigration to Palestine in 1925 and bearing an inscription signed by the members of the office. • Three photographs related to the TOZ Organization (an organization for promoting medicine and hygiene among Jews): a group photograph from the "Children's Colony" of the organization (captioned in the plate in Yiddish and dated 1932); photograph of the committee of TOZ from 1932 (captioned and dated on verso, in pencil); group photograph stamped on verso with the stamp of the organization. • And more.

42 postcards with photographs from Birobidzhan and the Jewish agricultural settlements in Ukraine and Crimea. Printed in Moscow, with the cooperation of the OZET, [ca. 1930s]. Russian.
The photographs that are printed on the postcards depict the various settlements and their residents (group photographs, photographs taken during work in the fields, and more). On several of the postcards appear photographic portraits of Communist leaders and activists, including Joseph Stalin and Semyon Dimanstein, chairman of the OZET committee and head of the Yevsektsiya.
During World War I, the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil war, hundreds of thousands of Jews lost their sources of income. During the early 1920s, public figures and Jewish communists tried to promote the idea of turning the impoverished Jews into farmers and in 1924 the KOMZET - Committee for the Settlement of Toiling Jews on the Land - was established. During the first meeting of the KOMZET management, it set the goal to turn 100,000 Jewish families into land-working farmers. During that same year, the OZET (the public Society for Settling Toiling Jews on the Land in the Soviet Union) was established, to assist in the execution of the KOMZET's goals. The activity of these organizations, as well as the activity of the Agro-Joint (the executive branch of the Joint in the Soviet Union) led to the establishment of Jewish agricultural settlements in Crimea and South Ukraine, including settlements in the counties of Kalinindorf, Nay-Zlatopol and Stalindorf (the three were announced Jewish counties during the years 1927-1930). In 1934, the Jewish autonomous region in the Russian Far East was established, its capital being Birobidzhan. Stalin's Great Purge during the 1930s, during which the OZET and KOMZET were closed down and Jewish leaders were arrested and executed, put an end to the development of the autonomous Jewish region. In contrast, the Jewish agricultural settlements in Ukraine continued to exist until the area was conquered by the Germans in 1941.
42 postcards, 10X14 cm. Good overall condition (the postcards were not used). Blemishes and minor stains to several of the postcards. Stamps on verso of several of the postcards. One postcard has a horizontal fold line, traces of glue and scrapings in the paper on verso and pen writing.
Literature: "From the Wilderness of Ukraine and Crimea to a Country of Hardship – Birobidzhan…" (Hebrew), by Matityahu Mintz. "Israel", issue 21, Spring 2013, published by The Chaim Weizmann Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel.

The design displays three arches; within each are two scenes, one above the other, separated by horizontal bands containing inscriptions and verses. The apex of the central arch shows a sun with the words ‘Keter Torah’ in its center, below which appears the inscription ‘Shiviti HaShem LeNegdi Tamid.’ Beneath the sun is an image depicting the Tablets of the Law with cherubs on either side, and a long inscription opening with the words ‘Da Lifney Mi Atah Omed’ [Know Before Whom You Stand] and continuing with verses from the Book of Deuteronomy. The bottom central image shows Elijah the prophet rising to heaven in a chariot of fire. The arch on the right shows Moses drawing water from the rock and Moses with the Tablets of the Law. The arch on the left depicts the Binding of Isaac and Aaron lighting the Menorah. Round medallions showing the symbols of the Twelve Tribes of Israel are set in the crowns of the arches (with the symbols of the Tribes of Zevulun and Gad replaced by the flag of Israel).
