Jewish Labor Committee and Others. Illustrations by Mitchell Loeb
OFFICIAL PROGRAM. FIRST ANNUAL WORLD LABOR ATHLETIC CARNIVAL SANCTIONED BY METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION, A.A.U. - SAT. AUG 15, SUN AUG. 16 - RANDALL'S ISLAND MUNICIPAL STADIUM.
1st edition. Original illustrated wrappers, 4to (large) , 34 pages. Loaded with illustrations. Event program. Striking cover illustration and one text illustration by Mitchell Loeb. Includes illustrations in text (halftones) and a section of ads. The World Labor Athletic Carnival was organized to directly oppose U. S. Athletes' participation in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, which were viewd as providing both legitimacy and a prime propaganda opportunity to Hitler's Nazi government. Put together in 1936 by a coalition of New York left-wing political organizations and labor unions including the heavily Jewish International Ladies' Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) , the Socialist and Communist Parties, the Jewish Labor Committee, and others, the Carnival took place over two days, coinciding with the two final days of the Berlin Games, and involved an array of high-profile American, Canadian, and a few international competitors including high-jumper Walter Marty, sprinters Eulace Peacock and Perrin Walker, and pole vaulter George Varoff. In the end, the Carnival proved something of a disappointment from both an attendance and an athletic perspective. Aside from Varoff's world-record setting performance in the pole vault, "... The New York Herald Tribune described the athletic performances as 'mediocre' and noted that the spectators were unenthusiastic'" (for a detailed account of the event, see Edward S. Shapiro, "The World Labor Athletic Carnival of 1936: an American Anti-Nazi Protest, " in American Jewish History v.74, no.3 (Mar 1985) , pp.255-273) . No copies anywhere in OCLC. Exceedlingly rare, we have never seen a copy offered for sale. Slightly stained and creased, but Very Good. A few event results have been supplied by the original owner in pencil. (holo2-149-1)

THE HERZL FOREST (THE TREE FUND)
1st Edition. Original Wrappers. 12mo. 31 pages ; 18 cm. The first major solicitation for afforestation efforts in the Eretz Israel. The JNF was founded at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel in 1901 with Theodor Herzl's support based on the proposal of a German Jewish mathematician, Zvi Hermann Schapira. Early land purchases were completed in Judea and the Lower Galilee. In 1909, the JNF played a central role in the founding of Tel Aviv. The establishment of the Olive Tree Fund marked the beginning of Diaspora support of afforestation efforts
(Wikipedia, 2016) The statutes of the Olive Tree Fund, with Warburg as chairman, were drawn up in January 1905. At the Seventh Zionist Congress in that year, Warburg proposed that the olive groves be named the Herzl Forest; in 1906, he unleashed a vigorous propaganda campaign that stressed the association of the Olive Tree Fund with Herzls name

Jewish Progressive Club
JEWISH PROGRESSIVE CLUB
1st Edition. Original 7 1/2 X 9 1/2 Inch Wartime Photograph of Members of the Jewish Progressive Club in Atlanta. "The Jewish Progressive Club was established in 1913 by Russian Jews who felt unwelcome at the Standard Club that had been founded by German Jews in 1867. Its organizers set up a holding company with a capitalization of $25, 000 to invest in real estate. In 1916, they constructed on Pryor Street a clubhouse which included a hall for dances, a billiard room, and a swimming pool. It was one of the only clubs in America to express its Jewishness openly. The Jewish Progressive Club was less exclusive than the Standard Club, and also more affordable. Since membership dues were a mere three dollars per month, it was quite popular with the "Russian" Jews, who were welcomed as members. In comparison, the Standard Club a fifty dollar initiation fee and annual dues of forty two dollars. By 1924, the Jewish Progressive Clubs membership surpassed 500, and the building had to be expanded [Shankman, . 'Atlanta Jewry, 1900-1930.' American Jewish Archives Journal. Vol. 25, No. 2 (1973) ] Perhaps a unique surviving copy of this photo. In very good condition. (AMR-52-28)

READINGS FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURES FOR JEWISH SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
16mo. 512 pages. In English. OCLC lists 25 copies worldwide. The Jewish Publication Society of America is a society for the publication in English of books of Jewish content founded on June 3, 1888, as an annual membership organization. It was the third attempt to establish such a body in the United States. Its two predecessors were both called the American Jewish Publication Society; the first was founded by Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia in 1845 and discontinued in 1851, and the second was founded by a New York group and lasted from 1873 to 1875. The third effort, responding to the needs of a rapidly growing Jewish population, proved successful. The organizational meeting was called in Philadelphia, then still considered the cultural capital of the United States, by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf and Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen. The Society functions through a board of trustees, usually with a businessman as president. (EJ, Grayzel) In good condition. (HOLO2-8-5)
