Collection of 65 booklets, pamphlets and single leaves related to Birkat Ha-Chama, which is recited once every 28 years [at spring time, when the sun goes to the exact spot where it was first placed when the world was created]. Some are single leaves which only include the blessing’s words; others have entire essays which deal with the laws, questions and answers, additional prayers and interpretations of Birkat Ha-Chama.
The collection includes 49 booklets and single leaves printed in Israel (mainly in Jerusalem) and the USA, most after the establishment of the state of Israel; and 16 earlier booklets, from around the world (the earliest is dated back to 1813): Bombay, Reggio, Przemysl, Frankfurt am Main, Kisvarda, Warsaw, Kolomyya, Cracow, Baghdad, Djerba, Tunis, Tanger, Casablanca and Cairo.
Varying sizes and conditions.
