Text in Yiddish 16 pages and English 4 pages. Monthly periodical published by the New Yiddish Theater in London. Numbering was continuous despite the volume change with the start of the new calendar year. "In 1945 playwright producer and manager Abish Meisels staged an adaptation of Abraham Goldfaden's The Ten Commandments at the New Yiddish Theatre in the East End. An Austrian refugee Meisels immigrated to London in 1938. Five years later he walked down Adler Street and entered Adler Hall. He turned a key unlocking the doors to the New Yiddish Theatre. According to Meisels his mission was 'to present the best in Jewish drama; to keep alive the art of the Jewish theatre and to inculcate into the minds of the younger generation a love and appreciation of their lives customs and language.' .Meisels' production may have been salient for London's post-war Jewish community. Many of his 20-person company were refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe as were others of London's Jewish population. They found in Meisels' theatre as he put it a 'much needed cultural educational and social centre' and a sense of belonging. By the time Meisels opened his theatre in 1943 the Yiddish stage had been in existence for nearly 70 years. Its story began in 1876 when writer Abraham Goldfaden staged the first Yiddish theatrical productions in Romania and Russia. Yiddish plays were first performed in the UK in the 1880s concurrent with the mass migration of Yiddish-speaking Eastern European Jews to Britain. Between 1881 and 1914 nearly 120000 of these immigrants entered the country most settling in the East End. These Yiddish-speaking Jews brought with them the desire for entertainment in their native tongue. Meisels' company was the last theatre in Britain devoted to Yiddish productions. It followed the Hebrew Dramatic Club on Princes Street 1886-1887; the Pavilion Theatre onWhitechapel Road 1906-1934; the Temple of Art known as the Feinman Yiddish People's Theatre on Commercial Road; the Grand Palais on Commercial Road 1934-1970 and the Jewish National Theatre at Adler Hall 1936- 1939. The use of Yiddish declined asthe community became assimilated. In 1947 Meisels locked the doors to the NewYiddish Theatre for the last time."

1943rif. 43487Moscow: Der Emes 1943. First edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers 16vo 62 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as "From Then and Now: Songs and Ballads About War" War poems by Soviet-Yiddish poet Moyshe Khashtshevatski. "Khashtshevatski was a poet prose writer and playwright born in Buki near Uman Ukraine.In 1918 April 6 he debuted in print with a poem entitled 'Friling Kumt' Spring Comes in the Kiev newspaper Di Naye Tsayt The New Times-using the pen name M. Mishal. In 1921 he moved to Kiev where he forged a strong bond with the local Yiddish writers Yekhezkl Dobrushin Dovid Hofshteyn and Der Nister among others and from that point he enhanced ever more his reputation as a creator and builder of Soviet Yiddish literature.From 1923 over the course of three years he contributed intensively to Emes Truth in Moscow and he actively took part in the Soviet community and political life. Although his first works were in the symbolist vein he would later switch to a more realistic depiction of life and address the major issues and events of the time. He brought new motifs and artistic imagery into Soviet Yiddish poetry. The range of his interests was extremely broad. He also masterfully translated from the Russian and Ukrainian classics as well as from other languages. In 1943 the Moscow publisher Der Emes The Truth brought out two books by him: a poetry collection entitled Fun Amol un Haynt Of Then and Now this work and jottings about the hero of the Soviet Union Khayim Diskin Khayim Diskin. The majority of poems in the former were dedicated to war themes. Shortly after the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war in 1941 he was evacuated to Samarkand Uzbekistan and there he learned of the death of his only son at the front. He proceeded to volunteer for mobilization into the Red Army despite the fact that he was forty-six years of age. He contributed in the harshest of battles in that period of the fighting and died in battle." Leksikon Fun Der Nayer Yidisher Literatur SUBJECTS: Yiddish poetry.

Directed in a Soviet-influenced style by Alexander Ford a committed Communist who later became the head of Poland's National Film School the film follows three children as they gradually overcome their emotional withdrawal and distrust and enter the communal life of the institution" MoMA 2016. From the pamphlet text: "Narrow and dark streets of Greater Warsaw. Crowded and wet attics attics and cellars. 'Apartments' filled with people who lack mother's breasts for the always screaming child. An unemployed father. And - children everywhere many children. Children - withered rickety with crooked legs sunken chests and pale faces they - the children - know all the bitterness of life from a very early age. Often very often they are already 'earners' themselves - in a poor workshop in the street or until late at night they sell th apples and 'hot warm bagels'. And now from this environment the children arrive at the Medem sanatorium: Hanale from the Jewish secular school the pale Zalmanka from Cheder and Laser - the bagel seller. In the beginning everything is strange to them in the 'strange' Medem-Sanatorium: no one punishes no one shouts no one is angry. Everything is friendly to them everyone strives to understand them as their best friend. Joy and freedom mixed with free independent work rule over everything here. And our three heroes quickly got used to the new life-forms. They flourish. They become stronger physically and mentally they actively participate in the work of the 'self-management' of children they begin to understand that the world does not have to be like that as they realized in Warsaw that they can and must be someone else someone free someone equal someone beautiful. The children are taken in by the spirit of true friendship they begin to understand that person's suffering and get an aspiration to help that person. And when their daily newspaper brings news that the coal miners are on strike in Zaglembia that their children are starving they are deeply moved. Because - who can understand better than them what a strike means and feel more than them what is called hunger And at a general meeting the children according to their own proposal give each one a day of their time in the sanatorium so that the 180 children - create 180 days for their brothers in Zaglembia Times flies in the sanatorium. And now we see our 3 'heroes' as they drive off back home. The faces of all 3 are drawn. A deep sadness lies on the young childish faces." Both the pamphlet and the film end with the song "Mir Kumen On"--We Are Coming-the words by Nokhem Yud 1888-1966 and music by Yankl Troupianski 1909-1944. The film's theme song was also used by Camp Hemshekh in New York as its anthem in the 1960s & 1970s. "Everything in the film is factual and authentic. There is not a single artist in the film - everything is performed by the participating children of the Medem Sanatorium." We were unable to locate any copies using OCLC nor with a google search.

1922rif. 43563Kiev: Kultur lige 1922. 1st edition. Original modernist illustrated paper wrappers bound into pamphlet protector. 12mo 30 pages. With many illustrations. 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translate as "Little Tales." A collection of five tales by Aleksander Afanasyev Vladimir Dal and Hans Christian Andersen adapted by David Roikhel and illustrated by the Yiddish Modernist artist Mark Epstein. A striking example of Mark Epstein's early Cubist-inspired graphic work produced for the now famous Jewish children's book Mayselakh. published in Kiev in 1922 and closely associated with the educational and cultural program of the Kultur Lige. Mark Epstein 1897-1949 was among the most important Jewish graphic artists associated with the Kultur Lige. Born in Babruysk he received a traditional Jewish education before studying at the Kiev School of Art. In 1918 he worked in the studio of Alexandra Exter whose influence can be seen in the dynamic Cubist-inflected vocabulary of his early work. That same year he participated in a Jewish artists' exhibition in Moscow and was one of the founders of the art section of the Kultur Lige in Kiev. Epstein was closely associated with the remarkable circle of Jewish modernist writers and poets active in Kiev including Der Nister Pinchas Kahanovich David Bergelson and Yechezkel Dobrushin. This milieu profoundly influenced his artistic development. Epstein worked across several media as a graphic artist painter sculptor and stage designer becoming one of the leading visual interpreters of the new Yiddish cultural movement. Children's illustration occupied an important place in his work. He designed covers and illustrations for Frayd Joy a Yiddish periodical for young people published in Kiev from 1922 to 1925. Mayselakh here is part of this same remarkable period of Yiddish publishing when artists associated with the Kultur Lige joined contemporary European artistic movements with with Yiddish literature and the educational needs of a new generation. Unlike many of his colleagues in the Kultur Lige's art section Epstein remained in Kiev after the establishment of Soviet rule and continued his artistic and educational activities under the transformed organization. From 1923 to 1931 he directed the Jewish Arts and Trades School in Kiev the institution that emerged from the Kultur Lige's former art section after its incorporation into the Soviet cultural system. He simultaneously worked as a stage and costume designer for theatres in Kiev and Kharkiv. In 1932 following the closure of the Jewish Arts and Trades School and the dissolution of the remaining Kultur Lige institutions Epstein was forced to leave Kiev for Moscow. Mayselakh is a stunning example of early Soviet Jewish children's publishing combining Yiddish literary culture with the bold modernist imagery of one of the most important artists of the Kiev Kultur Lige. For more see: Estraikh G. Hoge K. & Mikhail K. Children and Yiddish Literature from Early Modernity to Post-Modernity. Routledge 2016. Epstein's modernist masterpiece should not be confused with another Kultur Lige-issued-collection of childrens tales from 1922 the 58-page similarly titled work by Itsik Kipnis 1896-1974 Mayselekh far Klayne Kinder . Mayselakh has appeared at major auction only twice in its long history in 2019 when a copy sold for $2700 and in 2021 when a copy sold for $3000.00. OCLC: 122741292 1514928517.

1909rif. 42930New York: Ferlag "Kibets 1909. 1st Edition. Original publisher's binding Folio newspaper. Complete first volume Starting with Vol I Nr 1 of "Der Kibitser" Dec. 15 1908 renamed and renumbered first as Vol I Nr 1 Jan 22 1909 of "Der Groyser Kibetser The big kibetzer" with the following issue of Feb 5 numbered as "3" to correctly follow from the first issue and then with Vol I Nr 6 March 19 1909 onward as "Der Groyser Kundes The Big Stick" or "The Big Prankster." Incidentally the other set of this volume we examined also did not have a Nr 2 so we are confident this is complete as issued. One centerfold cartoon by Zuni Maud see image features "Der Kaptialistisher Tayfel"--the Capitalist Devil-holding back a "mother" by the hair to stop her from interfering as "baby's milk-bottle" is drained off by the "milk-trust" cat. The caption reads "The Capitalist Devil: - to the mother: Never mind madam all in English in Hebrew letters you go to the factory the milk-trust will take good care of your baby." This cartoon-laden periodical was a New York City Yiddish language satirical bi- weekly which ran from 1908 until 1927. The humor paper was issued biweekly this volume for its first 20 months and then weekly after that. OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales. Der Groyer Kunds is highlighted in this recent talk by Yiddish comics scholar Eddie Portnoy on the reactions in the Yiddish press to restrictions on Jewish immigration to the US: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/archival-recordings/recorded-programs/ybcr-nybc-ybcr-1048/door-slams-shut-reactions-yiddish-press-immigration .
