MENORAH: ILLUSTRIERTE MONATSSCHRIFT FÜR DIE JÜDISCHE FAMILIE. COMPLETE FOR FIRST 3 VOLUMES.
Large Folio Size. In German. Illustrated in color. Vol I (1-6), Vol 2 (1-12) & Vol 3 (1-12) complete for first 3 years. Full publication ran 10 volumes, through 1932. Important Weimar German Jewish art journal, with articles and illustrations on all the major Jewish artists of the day. Much beautiful contemporary Jewish art. "Die neue Monatschrift "Menorah" ist berufen, einem wirklichen Bedürfnis weiter Kreise entgegenzukommen und gleichzeitig ein bisher unklar empfundenes Verlangen Vieler zum bewußten Bedürfnis zu gestalten.Zahlreich sind bereits die jüdischen Tagesblätter und Zeitschriften, die alle eine begrenzte, sei es politische oder religiöse Tendenz verfolgen. Diese Zeitschrift jedoch stellt sich umfassendere Aufgaben und steckt sich ein weiteres Ziel: Sie will in erster Reihe jene Bestrebungen fördern, die geeignet sind, Brücken zu schlagen zwischen den verschiedenen, oft auseinanderstrebenden Gruppen des Judentums und will auf kultureller Grundlage die notwendige Einheit herbeiführen.Die geistigen und künstlerischen Traditionen wollen wir liebevoll pflegen, den Blick in Epochen zurücklenken, in welchen es noch ein wurzelstarkes, bodenechtes, von keiner Problematik angekränkeltes Judentum gab. Mithelfen wollen wir, und das ist unser großes Ideal, eine einheitliche jüdische Kulturatmosphäre zu schaffen.Die "Menorah" dient keiner Partei, sie will zu Juden jeder Richtung sprechen, soweit sie Fragen der Politik behandelt nur referieren und in versöhnlichem Sinne berichten, durch Wort und Bild belehren, erziehen und auch in gutem Sinne unterhalten. Sie will den Blick der Leser auf die alten künstlerischen Überlieferungen im jüdischen Schaffen lenken, die zu Unrecht nur bei den wenigsten Beachtung finden, von neuen jüdischen Künstlern vermelden und ein übersichtliches Bild des zeitgenössischen literarischen Schaffens bieten. Sie wird keine politische, sondern Kulturpropaganda treiben.Diese Zeitschrift ist der jüdischen Familie gewidmet, die stets Bollwerk und Rückhalt des Judentums war. Sie will auch den Interessen der jüdischen Frauen entgegenkommen und sie an ihre Aufgaben gemahnen, die in der Tat bedeutende sind. Die jüdische Jugend wird stets geistige Anregungen aller Art finden und in ihrem Streben nach körperlicher Ertüchtigung gefördert werden. Dem würdigen Inhalt soll sich ein entsprechendes Äußere gesellen, das auch dem verfeinerten Geschmack gerecht wird.Es ist eine schöne, große Aufgabe, die wir uns gestellt haben. Uns zu ihrer Verwirklichung zu verhelfen, laden wir hiermit die jüdische Öffentlichkeit ein, in deren Hände wir vertrauensvoll dieses erste Heft unserer "Menorah" legen."

Among the Spanish and Portuguese community that his family was a part of, Spinoza attracted attention for his irreligious and heretical ideas, such as questioning whether Adam was the first man. On July 27, 1656, he was excommunicated. His 1670 Tractatus Theologico-Politicus caused a sensation, and was banned everywhere, and sold with false title pages. Three years later, he was offered the chair of philosophy at Heidelberg, which he declined, avowing a preference for a quiet life. Efforts to have his Ethics published were unfruitful, due to theological impediments. It was later published, after his death, in Opera Posthuma.

OCLC lists 4 copies worldwide (JTSA, Yeshiva Univ, Duquesne Univ, Univ of Leeds) . Epstein (1878-1952) was born in Brest-Litovsk and Vienna and Berne. In 1925 he became a professor at the then-new Hebrew University. He formulated the basis for a new approach to talmudic studies in which he trained generations of scholars. Early in his career Epstein devoted studies to books of the Bible and the Elephantine papyri, but the major portion of his life's work was dedicated to rabbinical literature, particularly to the Mishnah text. In the field of geonic literature, Epstein edited the geonic commentary to the sixth order of the Mishnah , the introduction to which had studies on the she'iltot of R. Aha Gaon. His contribution to the modern study of rabbinical literature was of far-reaching importance. Epstein's essays and reviews appeared in many learned periodicals, and he was cofounder and coeditor of the quarterly Devir (192324) , and edited the first 23 volumes of the quarterly Tarbiz (193052) . He was an active member of the Vaad ha-Lashon and presided over several of its committees. (staff, EJ) Has been nicely rebound, some pages tanned, good condition. (GER-26-6)

(Jt) Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim.
NATAN HE-HAKHAM: SHIR SIHAH BE-HAMESH MA`ARAKHOT
(FT) 12mo. Xxix, 272 pages. Hebrew translation of Nathan der Weise. SUBJECT(S) : Drama. OCLC lists 11 copies worldwide. One of the outstanding representatives of the Enlightenment in Germany, Lessing was devoted to the principle of toleration. Through a physician, Aaron Solomon Gumpertz, he became a friend and admirer of Moses Mendelssohn, whom he encouraged to publish his first philosophical work. Mendelssohn was the inspiration for Lessing's Nathan der Weise, his last play, and once more a plea for toleration. Based on the parable of the three rings, adapted from Boccaccio's Decameron, the play presents Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as three sons of a benevolent father who has given each an identical ring, although each one claims that his ring alone is authentic. Nathan is made the spokesman for the aspirations of the Enlightenment: tolerance, brotherhood, and love of humanity. (Graetz, EJ) Ex library.

Berdichevsky, Micah Joseph (Ben-Gorion)
ME-OTSAR HA-AGADAH. COMPLETE IN 2 VOLUMES.
8vo. Xvi, 264, xv, 234 pages. In Hebrew. Complete in two volumes. SUBJECT (S) : Legends, Jewish. SERISES: Kovets 1. Mi-ne kedem -- kovets 2. Agadot `am. Berdichevsky (1865-1921) , also know as Ben-Gorion, was born in Podalia, to a long line of rabbis. In his teens, he read the Haskalah writers, and this conflict between modernism and tradition informed his entire literary career. It also caused deep disagreements with teachers and family members. He began to be published in 1888, writing both fiction and non-fiction. In 1890, he moved to Russia, and was acquainted with David Frischmann; in 1892 he moved to Germany. In Berlin, he solidified a philosophy of personal and intellectual freedom in the face of "stultifying" tradition. His writing attacked any already-established position, including the Haskalah and Zionism, and demanded an expansion of the Jewish literary canon. Though a later trip back to Russia, and witnessing the realities of Jewish life there, slightly moderated his polemics, Berdichevsky wrote much of the same, though he also branched out to collections of legends and Jewish history. It is of no surprise that his readers were divided along generational lines; the younger readers flocked to his work, while older critics rejected his ideas. (Almagor, EJ) Gilt titles.

He joined the Zionist movement in 1898 and was a delegate at the Third Zionist Congress a year later, where he emphasized education over propaganda. Later on, he would support the idea that Zionism should address itself also to the needs of the Arabs, and held that opinion even while the groups were at war. In 1938 he moved to Palestine, where he was a professor of Sociology at the Hebrew University until 1951. (Bergman, EJ) Backstrip missing, as usually found, Good condition. (GER-29-23)xx

Harizi, Judah Ben Solomon, 12th/13th Cent. edited by M. E. Stern
SEFER TAHKEMONI
(FT) Cloth, 12mo, 70 pages. 22 cm. In Hebrew with German title page: Tachkemoni; Mekamen oder Divan. ki ha-sefer ha-yak' ar halazeh, asher zeh kemo shesh meot shanah, ke-k' eren or bahir ... Yatsa le-or be-or hah' Ayim, eneno nidpas rak' shelosh peamim .....me-et Yehudah ben Shelomoh Alharizi. Al-Harizi, (11651225) was a "Hebrew poet and translator. He was born in Spain, very likely in Christian Toledo, a city that at this time preserved Arabic culture and that he describes with particular detail; however, there are no conclusive proofs of it, and other places have also been suggested. His education in this cultural atmosphere made him familiar with Arabic and Hebrew language and literature....Al-Harizi's most important literary translation is his Hebrew rendering of the maqamat of the Arabic poet Al-Hariri (Bosra, d. 1121), which he entitled Mahbarot Iti'el ("Notebooks of Ithiel"), completed before 1218. His translation of the maqama, an Arabic literary form in rhyming prose, attains the quality of an original composition, and imparts a Hebrew flavor to Al-Hariri's typically Arabic art; it reproduces the elusive word play and ornate style of the original.....Al-Harizi himself used this form for his major work Sefer Tahkemoni ("The Wise One"?), completed after 1220; he was among the first to use this genre in Hebrew literature. Its 50 maqamat show Al-Hariri's influence, being at the same time his way of showing the possibilities of the Hebrew language and of defending its usage. The language, rhymed prose with some poems intermingled in the text, is taken from the Bible and is often a mosaic of biblical quotations. The different addressees of the work that appear in the manuscripts are not surprisingly Oriental Jews, as Al-Harizi composed this book in his travels through the Orient, from one country to the other, or, as he says, from Egypt to Babylon.The maqamat of the Tahkemoni begin with a narrative frame introduced by the narrator, Heman the Ezrahite, who represents in many cases the opinion of the writer. The main character, Heber the Kenite, resembles the heroes of the Arabic maqama in his nature, a roguish polymath and rhymester. He appears in many different forms and is only recognized at the end of the narratives, after having shown his abilities and wisdom. The book includes love ditties, fables, proverbs, riddles, disputes, and satirical sketches, such as the descriptions of a flea and a defense by a rooster about to be slaughtered.Apart from its literary merit and brilliant, incisive style, the Tahkemoni also throws valuable light on the state of Hebrew culture of the period, and describes the scholars and leaders of the communities visited by the author. Al-Harizi gives vivid descriptions of the worthies of Toledo, the poets of Thebes, a debate between a Rabbanite and a Karaite, and conditions in Jerusalem. The Tahkemoni also contains critical evaluations of earlier and contemporary poets, although Al-Harizi's appraisal of his contemporaries is not always reliable and occasionally misses their most essential features" (Aharon Mirsky, Avrum Stroll, &Angel Saenz-Badillos in EJ, 2006). OCLC lists 14 copies worldwide. Original bright green wrappers, Hebrew and German, present and in Very Good Condition, as is the rest of the paper and internal binding.

(Jt) Lewy, J.
EIN WORT ÜBER DIE "MECHILTA DES R. SIMON"
Cloth, 40 pages, 8vo. In German. Lewy (1841-1917) "studied at the Breslau Jewish Theological Seminary. At the opening of the Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentum in Berlin in 1872, he became its lecturer in Talmud. In 1883 he returned to the Breslau Seminary in the same capacity and as Seminarrabbiner. Apart from his erudition in all branches of Jewish and general scholarship, Lewy brought a keen analytical sense and conjectural brilliance to the field of talmudical studies. He combined this freedom of enquiry with deep piety and strict observance. Lewy's scholarly output is relatively small in quantity, but terse in style and free of polemics. It mainly appeared in the annual reports of the Hochschule and the Breslau seminary. " (Rothschild in EJ, 2007) . From library of Shalom Spiegel with bookplate. Series: Jahresbericht des Jüdisch-theologischen Seminars "Fraenckel'scher Stiftung". Good Condition. Wear and tear on cover and binding. Includes one page membership list with many names. (rab-1-19)
