Lederman Esther, Con La Testimonianza Di Ezjel Lederman
La vita nascosta: Le memorie di una Sopravvissuta
8vo, br. ed. 252pp. Quella del 1939 è un’estate felice per Esther Gutman. I primi amori, la scuola, il pattinaggio… La sua si direbbe un’ordinaria adolescenza a Lódz, la seconda città della Polonia, dove vive con i genitori e la sorella. Ma nel settembre dello stesso anno tutto cambia: con l’invasione nazista le condizioni per gli ebrei diventano sempre più dure. Così il padre, resosi conto che rimanere in città è diventato troppo rischioso, decide di raggiungere il fratello nel suo paese d’origine, Chmielnik. Qui, Esther conosce Ezjel Lederman, un giovane studente sionista dal carattere deciso e integerrimo. Tra loro nasce un’amicizia fatta di passeggiate nel ghetto e di lunghe chiacchierate alla ricerca di una normalità perduta, finché nell’ottobre del 1942 la situazione precipita. Il padre di Esther viene deportato in un campo di lavoro e anche Ezjel deve lasciarla: sta partendo insieme al fratello e ai genitori per rifugiarsi a casa degli Zal, una famiglia di cattolici polacchi. Un’informazione che le salverà la vita. Poco dopo, infatti, Esther decide di cercare aiuto proprio da loro, mentre la madre e la sorella vengono catturate dai nazisti. Non le rivedrà più. A oltre sessant’anni di distanza e dopo un matrimonio felice, Esther sente la necessità di rivivere in questo intenso memoir, arricchito dalle riflessioni del marito Ezjel, i ventidue mesi trascorsi nascosta nella fattoria degli Zal, fino alla liberazione da parte dell’Armata Rossa. E racconta poi di come insieme ai Lederman abbia trovato rifugio proprio in Germania per riuscire, infine, ad approdare avventurosamente negli Stati Uniti. Una storia di fuga e salvezza, narrata con lo sguardo limpido e pieno di speranza di una donna forte, capace di vedere la solidarietà e il coraggio anche in un tempo che non smette di atterrire per la sua tragicità.

THE CHURCH UNDER THE SWASTIKA
1st edition thus. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 629-648. Contains two articles, Concordat Between the Holy See and Germany (1933) , originally printed in the Australasian Catholic Record, and The Church Under the Swastika (1939) , originally printed in The World Problem. The first article talks about the details of the Concordat, concluding that, "The events of the past five years have not justified the sanguine hopes for the progress of the Church which were entertained by many when the historic agreement was signed by His Eminence Cardinal Eugene Pacelli (who is now Pope Pius XII) and Herr Franz Von Papen as Plenipotentiaries of the Holy See and the German Reich respectively. Nevertheless it would be premature to say that such a historic achievement has come to nought. " (page 673) The second article discusses how the Catholic church is under attack, talking about how Catholic schools are shutting down, "Catholic publications are disappearing one by one, " and "Catholic manifestations, such as pilgrimages and processions, have been completely suppressed, " among other things. It is said, though, "But in spite of all this, it seems that the Church as a whole⦠has not suffered many great losses. " (page 641) Subjects: Church and state -- Germany -- History -- 20th century.

COPY BELONGING TO JEWISH COMMUNAL LEADER AND DIPLOMAT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PEIXOTTO (18341890), WITH HIS OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE ON THE FRONT ENDPAPER ("B.F. Peixotto, Cleveland, O. 1865"). Beautiful original period leather binding with tooled leather boards and board edges and raised bands. All Edges Gilt. The first edition of the first translation of the full Hebrew bible (Old Testament) into English by a Jew. Deinard 847; Singerman 1271; Goldman 12. Vinograd, Philadelphia 21. Very important work, Isaac Leesers magnum opus. In the preface, Leeser here writes of a life-long ambition to do for his fellow Hebrews who use the English as their vernacular, what had been done for the Germans by some of the most eminent minds
That is, to present an Old Testament Bible in the peoples tongue which was unprejudiced against Jews. This task took Rabbi Leeser more than 15 years to complete. The Twenty-Four Books..., has remained Leeser's literary magnum opus and his most lasting contribution to Judaism in America. Printed in 1854, complete with "short explanatory notes, " his efforts at biblical translation had actually developed in stages, beginning almost two decades earlier. Leeser's first biblical translation was The Law of God, a Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) in five volumes, published in 1845. According to Leesers biographer Lance Sussman, one factor convincing Leeser of the need for a Jewish-translated bible into English was the opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School in March 1838, in Philadelphia. The school was desperately in need of appropriate study material, with students using the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative: religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser, who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person, felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. Leeser's Bible, as it has come to be known, quickly became the standard Bible for English-speaking Jews, especially in America. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. In his preface to the present volume, Leeser characterizes this culmination of his long years of endeavor as having finally provided for his fellow Jews "a version of the Bible which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they have no confidence." Benjamin Franklin Peixotto (18341890), the owner of this bible, was a lawyer, diplomat, and important Jewish communal leader. His mother, Rachel Seixas, and his paternal grandfather, Moses Levi Maduro Peixotto (Hazzan of New York's Congregation Shearith Israel from 1820-1828) were both members of important early New York Jewish families. Young Benjamin settled in Cleveland during 184766, writing frequent editorials for the daily Cleveland Plain Dealer. In 1855, Peixotto and [George A.] Davis founded the Hebrew Benevolent Society; Peixotto was its secretary. In 1863 Peixotto helped found the first Cleveland lodge of B'nai B'rith. In 1860, he founded the Young Men's Hebrew Literary Society, four years later convincing it to affiliate with B'nai B'rith as Montefiore Lodge (Ency Cleveland History, 2020). In addition, Peixotto was a follower of Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois [Abraham Lincolns famous sparring partner in the Great Debates of 1858], under whose guidance Peixotto studied law. A trustee and founder of the Sunday School at Congregation Tifereth Israel (now The Temple), he served as Grand Sar (president) of B'nai B'rith during 186364 and was the prime mover for its Jewish Orphan Asylum (now Bellefaire) established in Cleveland in 1869
.Early in 1870, moved by the Romanian persecution of Jews, Peixotto succeeded in becoming the first U.S. consul in Bucharest, appointed by President Grant through the intervention of the Seligmans. His financial needs in the unpaid position, as well as political support, were provided, not always reliably, by a group of wealthy U.S. Jews, along with the B'nai B'rith, the Board of Delegates of American Israelites, and prominent French and English Jews led by Sir Francis Goldsmid. In Bucharest Peixotto pressed vigorously for Jewish emancipation, to which Romanian Jews were legally entitled by the Treaty of Paris of 1856, and also took the initiative in founding Jewish schools, cultural societies, and Romanian B'nai B'rith, as part of his plan to modernize Jewish life in that country
.his well-publicized presence inhibited new antisemitic legislation and avoided or mitigated several pogroms
.he continued to endorse emigration privately while serving in Bucharest until 1876. From 1877 to 1885 Peixotto was U.S. consul in Lyons
.His son was George Da Maduro Peixotto (18591937), a painter
.He became a notable portrait painter, executing portraits from life of Cardinal Manning, President McKinley, Chief Justice Waite, and John Hay, among others
.Peixotto's portrait of Sir Moses Montefiore at the latter's centenary in 1884 hung in the Corcoran Gallery, and his painting of [Rabbi] Julius Bien hangs in the National Museum, Washington, D.C.

Leeser, Isaac.
SIDUR SIFTE TSADIKIM: ... KOLEL SEDER HA-TEFILOT LA-TA`ANIYOT KE-MINHAG ... SEFARADIM .... THE FORM OF PRAYERS: ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOM OF THE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE JEWS. Vol III, part 2, only
Full tooled Leather , large 12mo. 144 pages. 18 cm. Hebrew text, parallel English translation. "Stereotyped by Slote and Mooney for the editor. " Singerman 1282. Sidur Sifte Tsadikim, Leeser's comprehensive Sephardic prayer book, was the first American prayerbook containing the liturgy for the entire year. It contains the original Hebrew text and an English translation. Starting with the 2nd Revised edition of 1853, Leeser changed to this smaller, 12mo, "more portable form...As to correctness, I pledge my word that the text and translation shall be far in advance of any which have hitherto appeared" (adv. In the Occident, Dec. 1851, cited in Goldman) . In the preface to the 1853 edition, Leeser noted the he had changed the translations of Bible passages to conform to the Bible translation he was completing elsewhere. This work thus contains the original Hebrew text and an English translation. Leeser marketed his prayer book both to audiences in American and the British colonies in the Caribbean, and he thus included prayers on behalf of a Monarch and a Republican government. Reprinted a number of times throughout the 19th & 20th Centuries, it became the standard prayer book for Sephardic Jews in North America. Leeser founded the first Jewish Publication Society of America and "brought many important works to the attention of the American Jewish community. He published the first Hebrew primer for children (1838) , the first complete English translation of the Sephardi prayer book (1848) [sic 1837-8], and numerous textbooks for children. He founded the first Hebrew high school (1849) , the first Jewish representative and defense organization in 1859 (the Board of Delegates of American Israelites) , Maimonides College, and the first American Jewish rabbinical school in 1867. His major literary achievement was the first American translation of the Bible, ...published in 1845. This became the standard American Jewish translation of the Bible until the new Jewish Publication Society translation of 1917....Leeser was a traditionalist who did much to stem the tide of Reform. Although he was identified with the Sephardi community his influence affected the entire community and he laid the foundations for many of the key institutions of present-day Jewish life. His contributions to every area of Jewish culture and religion made him a major builder of American Judaism. " (Jack Reimer, EJ) Contents of complete set: v. 1. Daily prayers [here missing]. --v. 2. New-year service. --v. 3. Day of atonement service [in 2 parts]. --v. 4. Tabernacle service. --v. 5. Passover and Pentecost service. --v. 6. Fast day service. SUBJECT(S) : Judaism -- Liturgy -- Texts. Jews. Liturgy and ritual. OCLC lists 2 institutions with holdings of 1856-1864 printings (Harvard & Penn). Changes between printings of the 2nd and 3rd editions were minimal, and size was the same. Goldman 36: "in the introduction, Leeser attempted to demonstrate why his text and translation were superior to the one published by his competitor, David Aaron de Sola, a London hazzan....Leeser ordered new Hebrew types from abroad for this work and had to teach Hebrew to the typesetters, Benjamin George Smith...and Jacob Washington Fletcher.... We located no other sets of any edition of this work having come up for auction in the last decade. Light wear to leather, chip to bottom of spine, otherwise Very Good. (AMRN-14-22)

HATAN HA-MELEKH
(FT) Hardcover, 12mo, 58 pages. In Hebrew. SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- History. Lehmann (1831-1890) was a German Orthodox rabbi, scholar, and writer. Lehmann was born in Verden, Germany, and studied with Israel Hildesheimer in Halberstadt, with S. L. Rapoport in Prague, and at Halle. In Prague he was friendly with the writer Solomon Kohn, who may have influenced Lehmanns future work as a writer. In 1853 an organ was introduced in the synagogue of Mainz and in 1854, when the Orthodox members formed a separate congregation, Lehmann was elected their rabbi and, eventually, one of the leaders and spokesmen of modern German Orthodoxy. In Mainz he founded a religious school which from 1859 was an elementary day school for boys and girls. Lehmann wrote polemically against Reform and founded the weekly Israelit to counter the influence of Ludwig Philippsons Reform periodical, Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums; the Israelit became the principal voice of German Orthodoxy. Lehmann was the main contributor to the Israelit and his many historical novels, including Rabbi Joselmann von Rosheim, and short stories were first published in it. His stories were collected in Aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, and many were translated or adapted into Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, French, Hungarian, English, and other languages. Lehmanns stories have no great literary merit, but as juvenile literature, they have religious and educational value. Of more scholarly importance, though also primarily intended for popular instruction, are his German edition of the Haggadah, anonymously revised and enlarged by H. Ehrmann and translated into English, and his Sabbath lectures on Avot, collected as Die Sprueche der Vaeter in which Lehmann made use of earlier commentators, particularly of Samuel b. Isaacs Midrash Shemuel, and thus made the commentators accessible to the German reader. Lehmann also published the tractate Berakhot of the Jerusalem Talmud with the commentary of Solomon Sirillo and his own notes, Meir Nativ. Lehmann translated the Pentateuch in the Bible translation initiated by the Orthodox Bible Institute to counter the translation of Zunz and others. As editor of the Israelit, Lehmann agreed increasingly with S. R. Hirschs intransigent line in Hirschs differences with Hildesheimer, Lehmanns friend and teacher (Rothschild in EJ, 2007) . OCLC lists 1 copy worldwide (Brandeis) . Ex-library with markings. Staining on title page. Brown edges. Hinge repair. Wear to cover corners. Otherwise very good condition. (Heb-13-10)
