Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope you all are doing well physically and spiritually in the midst of this epidemic and taking good care.
And the chagim were uplifting and spent with some family or friends.
It is certainly also a time of much solitude.
Books have continued to be my close companions, offering consolation and sustenance in this book sanctuary. I spend much of the day perusing and cataloguing them, and plan now to send out more lists. We also welcome learning what you are researching and perhaps we can suggest a tome from our genizah.
I came across the following from an essay by Abraham Joshua Heschel as an introduction to photos by Roman Vishniac in a book entitled Polish Jewry.
“In almost every Jewish home, even in the humblest and poorest, stood a bookcase full of volumes; proud and stately folio-tomes together with shy small-sized books. Books were neither an asylum for the frustrated nor a means for occasional edification. They were furnaces of living strength, time proof receptacles for the eternally valid coins of the spirit. Almost every Jew gave of his time to learning….”
May we continue to be inspired in our learning and quests and journeys into bookland. May we experience perplexity and delight in the search for answers and questions.

He was dismissed from this post after the Nazis came to power in March, 1933. He received a job offer from Ferdinand Rieser, director of the Pfauenbühne in Zurich and emigrated to Switzerland, where he transformed the provincial stage into one of the most important German-language theaters outside Germany..In 1934, he was dismissed from his post after differences with Rieser and spent time working in a publishing house. In 1935, he traveled to Moscow as a correspondent for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, where he also worked briefly as a directorial assistant for Vsevolod Meyerhold. After the dissolution of Meyerhold’s theater, he returned to Zurich, where he helped to found the “Neues Schauspiel AG”, which became the legal successor to the Schauspielhaus in Zurich. He served as the new company’s first dramaturg and became its vice director in 1946. In 1961, he became the artistic and managing director of the Schauspielhaus Zurich.Hirschfeld was one of the discoverers and early supporters of the Swiss playwrights Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt. He had a special interest in the dramatic works of Bertolt Brecht. Thanks to his personal friendship with Brecht, he was responsible for three premieres of Brecht’s work during World War II.

In folk custom this kind of work has protective talismanic effect on the owner and has been purchased for that reason….. A native of Prague, R. Isaiah Halevi Horowitz (1565?-1630) settled in Jerusalem in 1621, where he was appointed Rabbi of the Aschkenazic Community of the city and where he availed himself of the esoteric teachings of R. Isaac Luria and his disciples. These kabbalistic teachings were duly incorporated in his magnum opus, Shnei Luchoth HaBerith. Part Halachic Code and part Kabbalistic treatise, the Shnei Luchoth Habrith exerted great influence on the life of the Aschenazi Jewish world and helped more than any other work to introduce the Kabbalah into daily religious life. Prof. Scholem observed that ” its expressive power and rich content made it a classic.” G. Scholem, Kabbbalah (1974) OCLC Number: 27223076 (278628) $725.00

The lithographs measure 10 3/4 x 15″, and are all dated 1917 in the stone. Of the 30 half-tone plates (Title + plates numbered from III-XXXI), four are printed in bistre, and the others in sepia .

Rybak’s masterpiece remains the lithographic album, Shtetl, mayn khoreve heym, a gedenkenish (Shtetl, My Destroyed Home, a Memory; 1923), in which he evokes the shtetl in dark tones, fusing cubism and expressionism, assymetrical design, exaggerated facial features, and interpenetrating planes. This style is superimposed upon such prototypical images of religious life as the synagogue, the religious school, Jewish holidays, funerals, and weddings. Representative types of shtetl occupations include the cobbler, the knife sharpener, the butcher, and the Rabbi.(YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe) (279013) $3,600.00
