Dramatic visual presentation of the fundraising methods, achievements, and goals over the 35 years since the organizations inception in 1902 including the Blue-White Box, the J. N. F. Stamp, the Golden Book, the Tree Fund, Flower Day and Flag Day, and the Dunam Land contributions efforts.

Includes photographs, illustrations, and graphs on almost every page. SUBJECT (S) : Jewish National Fund, Israel, Fundraising. OCLC lists only one holding worldwide (Spertus) . Very good condition.

1st edition. Original single fold wrappers, 12mo, [4] pages. Service includes: National Anthem sung by Cantor Adolph Katchko, Invocation by David de Sola Pool; Greetings by Rabbi Joseph Zeitlin; Prayer for the United Nations by Rabbi J. X. Cohen; [Sermon] by Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver; Benediction by Rabbi Abraham M. Heller; and closing with the singing of Hatikvah. On March 25, 1948, 6 days prior to this event, US President Harry Truman made the following statement regarding the upcoming vote on Palestine at the UN: This country vigorously supported the plan for partition with economic union recommended by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine and by the General Assembly. We have explored every possibility consistent with the basic principles of the Charter for giving effect to that solution. Unfortunately, it has become clear that the partition plan cannot be carried out at this time by peaceful means. We could not undertake to impose this solution on the people of Palestine by the use of American troops, both on Charter grounds and as a matter of national policy. The United Kingdom has announced its firm intention to abandon its mandate in Palestine on May 15. Unless emergency action is taken, there will be no public authority in Palestine on that date capable of preserving law and order. Violence and bloodshed will descend upon the Holy Land. Large-scale fighting among the people of that country will be the inevitable result . These dangers are imminent. Responsible governments in the United Nations cannot face this prospect without acting promptly to prevent it. The United States has proposed to the Security Council a temporary United Nations trusteeship for Palestine to provide a government to keep the peace. Such trusteeship was proposed only after we had exhausted every effort to find a way to carry out partition by peaceful means. Trusteeship is not proposed as a substitute for the partition plan but as an effort to fill the vacuum soon to be created by the termination of the mandate on May 15. The trusteeship does not prejudice the character of the final political settlement. It would establish the conditions of order which are essential to a peaceful solution.

1920rif. 218041920. Early views of life under British colonial rule in Mandatory Palestine. 1920s photo archive consisting of 12 silver gelatin photographs measuring around 3.5" x 2.5" each. Circa 1920s. An evocative and unusually varied visual archive from 1920s Mandatory Palestine this collection captures everyday life and social hierarchies during the British occupation of the Levant. Taken during a critical era following the fall of the Ottoman Empire and before the full thrust of Zionist settlement these images offer rare glimpses of Palestinian Arab communities-including women clerics children merchants and street workers-across both rural and urban landscapes. Several photos appear to depict scenes in and around Jerusalem including a striking street portrait of an elder man in traditional Arab dress with a keffiyeh and striped abaya standing beside a fez-capped official or guard in front of a stone façade possibly in the Old City. Another image shows a procession of clergy and camel handlers near what appears to be a medieval gate or fortress wall-indicative of pilgrimage traffic or religious observance with camels loaded for transport. A powerful composition captures three women in dark veils and flowing garments speaking beneath a tree with rural hills and a village in the distance. Street life and labor are emphasized in one image where a young boy and several veiled women draw water at a stone cistern; one woman balances a large vessel on her head her face and body almost entirely obscured. A separate print shows a group of women-some in Western dress and hats others in religious garb-posing together at the edge of a sea or lake possibly near Tiberias or the Sea of Galilee. . Another photograph depicts a group of men in keffiyehs and Western suits gathered in what may be a town square-possibly Amman or Ramleh-with modern construction visible in the background illustrating the mixing of colonial infrastructure and traditional society. Photographs of Mandatory Palestine from this transitional decade-between Ottoman defeat and the Arab Revolt -are increasingly rare especially those depicting ordinary Palestinians rather than military or Zionist institutions.
