"Orthodox Jews in all Lands – Purchase Land in Eretz Yisrael" (Yiddish)
A membership notebook of “Bayit V'Nachala” Association, for purchase of land in Bnei Brak. [Warsaw, 1920s].
Printed booklet, with the Association's regulations and purchase stipulations with empty lines for completing the member's name, details of the property and payment. In the center of the booklet is a map of the settlements in Central Eretz Yisrael and Bnei Brak's designated location.
In 1921, an association called “Bayit V'Nachala” was established by a group of Chassidim headed by Rabbi Yitzchak Gershtenkorn, whose goal was to establish an agricultural settlement in Eretz Yisrael for charedi Jews from Poland. In 1922, a plot of land near the Arab village “Ebn Ibrak” was purchased and the association members began to market the properties changing its name to “Bnei Brak” [called after the Jewish settlement from the time of the Tana'im which existed in the area]. In 1924, the first group settled there. In its early years, the settlement was sustained by agriculture and farms, but as the years passed, it developed into a crowded city with typical charedi characteristics.
Fifteen pages. 16.5 cm. Very good condition.

Babylonian Talmud – complete set. Munich-Heidelberg, 1949. "Published by Rabbis’ Committee in American region of Germany".
Upon termination of World War II and the gathering of Jews in Displaced Persons Camps, there was a shortage of holy books for use by refugees, as a result of the eradication of books during the war by the Nazis.

In 1949 the first complete edition was printed, to be found herewith.
Each volume contains two title pages. The first was designed especially for the occasion of printing the Talmud on the scorched German soil. An illustration of a Jewish village appears at beginning with caption: “from slavery to freedom and from darkness to great light”. Beneath title page illustration of barbed wire fence and labor camp with caption: "Labour Camp in Germany during Nazi Regime". “They had almost consumed me upon earth ;but I did not forsake Yourcommandments”.
