Unsold
Kibbutz Galuyot, Apotheosis, by Avigdor (Ha-Meiri) Feuerstein. Written in Ha-Meiri’s handwriting, 1919, Odessa.
Play-like literary work, featuring “the Cortege of Israel” – Rahel Imeinu, Moshe Rabbeinu, Shimshon Ha-Gibor, Rabbi Akiva, Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, Rabbi Israel Ba’al Shem Tov, the Vilna Gaon, Dr. Binyamin Hertzel, and others. The author wrote his last name - “Feuerstein”- in parentheses on the title page and the cover and added the “Ha-Meiri” name later on. The author also wrote on the title page: “Written in 1919, Odessa and transmitted to H. Fogelson for his collection, 29.6.34, Tel-Aviv” and added his signature. The manuscript contains corrections and remarks and slightly differs from the booklet [later] printed by “Kupat Ha-Sefer” edition and the JNF in Tel-Aviv, 1924.
