"Zion cries bitterly and Jerusalem raises its voice" (Nachem prayer) – A Yiddish printed proclamation, a call to support the construction of new neighborhoods in Jerusalem "outside the walls of the city". Boston, Massachusetts: M. Lang & Sons Printers, [undated, 1902-1909].
The proclamation mentions the dire economic state of the Jerusalemite Jews and the danger of the lurking Christian missionaries. It also mentions the emissary R. Yosef Salant, "grandson of the R Shmuel Salant", sent especially for this purpose. The proclamation is signed by R. Yosef Salant (son of R. Zvi Hirsh, was actually the great-grandson of R. Shmuel), with his temporary address in Boston, and by Rabbis in Boston and other Massachusetts cities.
R. Shmuel Salant is mentioned with the cognomen shlita used for a living person (he died in 1909) and R. Duver son of R. Abba Yaakov Borochov is reffered to as Rabbi of the city of Malden, a position he took in 1902.
Leaf, 40.5 cm. Fair condition, folding creases, tears and holes.
