Bezalel Exhibition, Palestine Arts & Crafts 1926. New York, 1926. English, Yiddish and Hebrew.
Exhibition catalogue of Bezalel artifacts. The exhibition was held in New York when Boris Schatz resided there.

The school re-opened in 1928 but in 1929 was closed again.
The catalog includes many photographs of Bezalel artifacts and articles about Bezalel. Front cover designed by Reuven Lif (signed in the plate: "R. Lifshitz")
