A handwritten diary-notebook (Hebrew), written by a Jewish merchant of the Prague region throughout the year 1848.
In the notebook, prepared by the merchant for personal use, appear – on the left hand side - the names of the Hebrew months in a table arranged by days, holidays and the weekly portions of the Torah, with detailed daily comments about the weather ("clear and warm the whole day", "light rain, cold and cloudy", "large ice very strong" etc).
On the right hand side - the merchant documented his travels to sell leather in the villages and towns in his area, most of the time with his spouse, accurately recording the quantity of merchandise and general expenses. He also documented each encounter with family and friends, dinners he shared with them, hours of arrival and departure and some other details. Most of the travels were to the town of Churdim and to Podolí , Lushe, Zdechovice, Skotnice, and of course to Prague.
An interesting inscription documents a letter which the merchant received from Rabbi Hanoch Schick, Av Beit Din of Tučapy: "I received a letter…from my friend rabbi Hanoch Schick of Tučapy asking for assistance since his spouse Malka has been sick for two years".
Alongside with the picturesque weather reports, appear events "of much ado and emotion" in his town and in Prague. He also tells about his brother in law and his sons and daughters who fled Prague "fearing the arrows…" – which might be a reference to the revolution of 1848 which was suppressed immediately in Prague. He writes further that "Prague is quiet again…" [16] leaves, 22 cm. Good condition. Spotting.

A handwritten letter, by Moshe Leib Lilienblum addressed to Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehudah Berlin (the Netziv of Volozhin). Odessa, 5.8.1887. Hebrew.
A letter from Moshe Leib Lilienblum, one of the leaders of the movement of "Hovevei Zion", regarding funds received by the movement and its operations, addressed to the Netziv of Volozhin, one of the "Financial advisors" of "Hovevei Zion". Signed by hand by Lilienblum and ink stamped "M.L. Lilienblum Odessa" (Russian).
Lilieblum opens the letter with a "monthly account to the financial advisors" – report about funds received in the name of "H. Erlinger" of Vilnius, Rostov-on-Don, and two other cities. Further he adds: "Dr. Pinsker is not yet back from his stay overseas and your letter is handed to him these days. When I have time I shall advise his honor regarding the main activities of the movement so far since matters have to be verified in the accounting books".
Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehudah Berlin (Netziv of Volozhin), head of Volozhin Yeshivah and a foremost scholar, was an active member in "Hovevei Zion" and supported settlement in Eretz Israel. In the second convention of "Hovevei Zion" (Druskenick convention, June 1887) he was appointed one of the three "Gaba'im Yo'atzim" (financial advisors) and later in the same year they sent a circular letter to all congregation rabbis concerning fund raising for settlements in Eretz Israel. The Netziv also acted, within the framework of his role, to deepen religious values in the movement.
[1] leaf, 21 cm. Good-fair condition. Folding marks and creases. Tears around the edges. Tear at the central folding mark, pasted with adhesive tape (with minor text omissions).
