1948First edition. Original illustrated blue and white paper wrappers with black-and-white photographs. 4to. About 15 pages each; 28 cm. Statehood-era run of this important Zionist photographic periodical, including the issue from the month when Statehood was declared (May 1948), filled with hundreds of black-and-white photographs, tables, maps, and articles. Covers topics such as Report on Latin America, Youth that Saved a Nation, and Way of the Mediator. The Histadrut was founded in December 1929 in Haifa to look out for the interests of Jewish workers...The Histadrut became one of the most powerful institutions in the state of Israel, a mainstay of the Labour Zionist movement and, aside from being a trade union, its state-building role made it the owner of a number of businesses and factories and, for a time, the largest employer in the country. Until Israel began moving away from a socialist economy, the Histadrut, along with the government, owned most of the economy (Wikipedia 2017) . Newspaper headlines report the sensational side of events in Palestine, but rarely the important things that happen daily. The Jewish State is being built by men and women with a single mind and single purpose, men and women of the Histadrut who stick to their task in fields and factories, who reluctantly take the gun in hand to ward off the enemy. HISTADRUT FOTO-NEWS will bring to American Jewry the story of Palestine in its proper perspective. Its heroes will be workers. Its drama will be the life of the pioneers who build not only new physical wonders but social and spiritual patterns that suit the rebirth of an ancient, civilized people.

1951réf. 25321AMERCAN CHRISTIAN PALESTINE COMMITEE.Scrapbook compiled by Harrison Fry Religion Editor of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin one of the twenty-two tour participants. April 1951. Items glued or stapled to several pages with additional papers laid in. In green leatherette boards rules and decorations in yellow. 120 pp. 9½ x 11¾ x 1 in. The American Christian Palestine Committee ACPC was created in 1946 by merger of the American Palestine Committee 1931-1946 and the Christian Council on Palestine 1942-1946. Its purpose was to educate American Christian leaders about the post-Holocaust need for a Jewish state to publicize the new states' accomplishments to fight anti-Semitism and to support the country's existence. Over 20000 Christian leaders mostly Protestants were members. The ACPC sponsored seminars published educational materials created a speaker's bureau and conducted study tours taking religious leaders and journalists to Israel and adjoining Arab lands. This scrapbook documents a trip from March 31 - April 28 1951. Its goals include making a "comprehensive study of Arab-Israel problems" including finding "suggested solutions for the resettlement of these tragic victims of the Arab-Israel War of 1948." The tour visited Israel Jordan and Lebanon and was the first ACPC group to visit to Palestinian refugee camps. The group met Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion; Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Foreign Minister Achmed Tooqan; Rabbi Jaacov Herzog son of the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem; and American Ambassador to Israel Monnet Davis as well as other government and university officials and mayors. Early items in the scrapbook are typed copies of their itinerary including stops in Beyrouth Beirut Jerusalem Tel Aviv Haifa and Nazareth; a list of participants with their affiliations; and memoranda. It also includes airline tickets postcards hotel reservations including the King David Hotel and ephemera. Of particular interest is a printed pamphlet with basic information about the Knesset that includes Fry's notes of the group's meeting with Ben-Gurion 1886-1973. After about two weeks in the Middle East Fry also briefly visited Rome Paris and London. He used his notes for an article in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. The scrapbook collects printed ephemera that illustrate Israel presented itself including a large color "tourist guide map" of Tel-Aviv 13½ x 9½ in. a 24- x 17-inch folding color "motor map" of Israel laid in with their route highlighted in red and with tourist information on each city on the verso; and a small program for a production of "Carmen" by the Hebrew National Opera. Other items include a Vocabulary for Visitors to Israel; and the post-return typed or handwritten letters Fry received including messages of friendship from other tour attendees. Black-and-white photographs include an 8 x 10-inch photo of the group of travelers boarding their PanAm plane; a 5 x 7-inch photo of them at the Mosque of Omar; a photograph of settlers at the "future site of 'Kfar Truman'"; and photographs of the group at other sites that they visited such as the Garden of Gethsemane. Excerpts: Harrison W. Fry "People of Israel and Neighboring Nations Hope for Peace Despite Border Quarrels" Evening Bulletin Philadelphia April 22 1951 "In Jerusalem—which means City of Peace—there is much talk of peace. In the Arab countries of Lebanon and Jordan there is more talk of co-operation than of hate. It may be a hopeful index. But no one agrees as to where it will start… if you look carefully there is the desire for peace down at the grass roots among Arabs living as displaced persons in caves and tents and among Israelis living under an austere program." Harrison W. Fry "Ben-Gurion Wants U.S. Help to Bring Peace in Near East" Evening Bulletin Philadelphia April 25 1951 "Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel would welcome the good offices of the United States in establishing peace in the Near East. Israel and the Arab states are now operating under an uneasy armistice with frequent border incidents… The shaggy white-haired leader of the modern miracle that is the State of Israel interrupted conferences in connection with the meeting of the Knesset Israel's Parliament now in session to greet the members of the American Christian Palestine Committee study group of which the writer is a member. With all the frankness of a long-time friend he talked of Israel's plans and problems and answered questions with a refreshing frankness free of diplomatic double talk." Harrison W. Fry "Architects of New Israel Are Building Up from Soil" Evening Bulletin Philadelphia April 27 1951 "In the valley of the Armageddon the old Biblical plains of Esdraelon the scene of many ancient victories and disasters of the Jews the modern Jews won their first victory of the land in the early twenties when the drained the malarial swamps. Today the valley is a Garden of Eden of fragrant orange citrus and olive groves and garden crops—a delight to the eyes after days of traveling in the eroded dust-storm swept Arab lands to the east of Israel… In the Hula Lake section north of the Sea of Galilee and Capernaum where Christ performed his miracles the Jews are today performing modern miracles by reclaiming further swamp areas." Harrison W. Fry "Debris of Intolerance Bears Fruit of Freedom in Israel" Evening Bulletin Philadelphia May 2 1951 "In a cave on Mt. Zion ancient citadel of Jerusalem are the ashes of thousands of Jewish martyrs to Nazi intolerance—a symbol of 6000000 who so perished. About them are the sacred scrolls desecrated by the Nazis. One of these had been made into a house coat by a Nazi who apparently did not read Hebrew because it bears on its back the warning that the Lord will wreak vengeance upon those who persecute his people… Atop a tower on this hill which borders no-man's land in the uneasy truce with the Arab kingdom of Jordan an Israeli soldier keeps vigil above these shrines that appeal for peace and tolerance. The Jews have put the terrible evidence of intolerance underground and are building a new tomorrow. They want to talk of peace in the Near East the whole refugee problem including the Arabs." Carl Herman Voss to Members of ACPC Study Tour May 11 1951 "I want to express appreciation for the cooperative spirit all of you manifested on the Tour. You were really a wonderful crew! Thanks too to all of you once again for the lovely Menorah and plate for Hanukkah with which you surprised me during our last evening together in Israel." "Assignment Well Covered" Jewish Exponent May 11 1951 "Harrison W. Fry seasoned newspaperman and religious editor of the Evening Bulletin did a splendid job in reporting and interpreting the events in Israel as he observed them during his two weeks' tour of the country at the invitation of the American Christian Palestine Committee. His articles that have appeared in the Evening Bulletin during these past few weeks have given the readers of the Bulletin a clear insight into some of the problems concerning the country and the manner in which the Government and the people of Israel are grappling with these problems." Carl Hermann Voss to Harrison Fry July 6 1951 "I did have a chance to hear from my friends that you have given some excellent reports since you returned from the Middle East and that you were as stimulated and thrilled by the trip as was I… I was a bit disappointed not to have your assent to our reiterated invitation to be listed among the speakers for the Club Program Service the speakers' bureau of the American Christian Palestine Committee but I presume that compelling reasons determined your decision. Won't you still reconsider We would look upon your addition to the list of speakers for Club Program Service as a real boon for the ACPC." Memo of Harrison W. Fry to Walter Lister n.d. "Judge Levinthal called me late yesterday to say that he and some of his friends were thinking of nominating me as a member of a small party of Christian clergymen from all parts of the United States who are being sent expenses paid to visit Palestine and get first had information of conditions there. Would I accept if the full committee approved. Had I been to Palestine." "I told him the prospect thrilled me as I had never been to Palestine. I told him that Fry disassociated form The Bulletin did not mean anything and much as I would like to go on my own I felt I should not unless the matter was cleared through The Bulletin." Harrison W. Fry 1892-1973 was born in Pottstown Pennsylvania and married Laura V. Umstead 1894-1967 in 1918. He entered journalism before World War I with the Public Ledger and then served as religion and education editor for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletinfor forty-two years. Fry interviewed every president from Theodore Roosevelt to Harry S. Truman. He served as a charter member and later president of the Education Writers Association in 1948-1949 and was a founding member of the Religion Newswriters Association in 1949. Carl Hermann Voss 1911-1995 was a Congregational minister who served in Brooklyn; Pittsburgh; Raleigh North Carolina; and Saratoga Springs New York. During World War II he founded and led the Christian Council on Palestine before becoming one of the founding members of the American Christian Palestine Committee. Louis E. Levinthal 1892-1976 received three degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Philadelphia County from 1937 to 1959. He was president of the Zionist Organization of America from 1941 to 1943 and special adviser for Jewish affairs to the postwar European Command in 1947-1948. He served as chairman of the board of governors of Hebrew University in Jerusalem from 1962 to 1968. Starting in 1951 the group's activities were opposed by the pro-Arab American Friends of the Middle East later proven to be funded in part by the CIA. The ACPC wound down in the early 1960s when the Israeli embassy and consulates took over the task. hardcover

1939réf. 184044London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1939. I am empowered in the name of the Government of Great Britain to give the following assurances First edition representing the first official publication of the deeply contentious McMahon-Hussein correspondence which cast a shadow over the future of Palestine for decades. The British Government released the full letters during the St James's Palace Conference in response to mounting pressure over the precise wording of McMahon's commitments. Shortly after the release a committee was formed to examine the precise implications of the letters. It concluded that "His Majesty's Government were not free to dispose of Palestine without regard for the wishes and interests of the inhabitants of Palestine". British representatives on the committee maintained that Palestine was excluded from McMahon's commitments but agreed that "the language in which its exclusion was expressed was not so specific and unmistakable as it was thought to be at the time" p. 10.

18501st edition. Original illustrated publisher's boards, 8vo, xxii, (2), 17-518, (1), (1 blank).Illustrated With Maps and Numerous Engravings. English interspersed with Hebrew. Frontispiece portrait of author, foldout maps of Land of Israel, lithographed views of Holy Places. Singerman 1161. The nineteenth century saw a dramatic growth in interest in the Holy Land due to new directions in Bible studies and the growing popularity of visiting the region. This renewed attention was reflected in the expanding body of literature of geographies and travelogues. One such Hebrew work was Joseph Schwarz's Tevuot ha-Aretz, published in Jerusalem in 1845. When Schwarz visited the United States, four years later, as a rabbinical emissary from the Holy Land he arranged for Isaac Leeser to translate and publish Tevuot ha-Aretz. When it appeared the following year as this work, "A Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine," it was recognized as one of the most important Jewish works published in America up to that time. Leeser proudly stated in his introduction: "The execution of the whole (book] is the work of Jewish writers and artists, the drawings being executed by Mr. S. Shuster, a lithographer belonging to our Nation." Leeser further expressed his hope that the publication of the volume might "extend the knowledge of Palestine, and also to enkindle sympathy and kind acts for those of our brothers, who cling to the soil of our ancestors." Isaac Leeser was an American rabbi, educator, and author, founder of the Jewish press of America. "Leeser participated in all Jewish movements. He was the earnest promoter of all the national enterprises-the first congregational union, the first Hebrew day-schools, the first Hebrew college, the first Jewish publication society-and of numberless local undertakings. [His monthly magazine] "The "Occident" acquired a national and even an international reputation; the Maimonides' College, of which he was president, paved the way for future Jewish colleges in the United States; and his translation of the Bible became an authorized version for the Jews of America.

1931[8] 9-94 pages. Select Bibliography. First published in London in 1930. "Professor Einstein is better known as a physicist than as a Zionist. Yet for many years he has given abundant proof both of a keen interest in Zionism and of a penetrating insight into its underlying ideas. He is impelled to Zionism by his acute consciousness of the excessive price at which the blessings of assimilation are bought by the Jewish communities of the Western world, which for him are mainly represented by that of Germany. The price is a loss of solidarity, of moral independence and self-respect. These, in his view, can be regained only if assimilated Jews find some common task, of absolute human value, to which they can bend their corporate energies as Jews. Such a task is to be found in the restoration of Jewish national life in Palestine." - Introduction. Unmarked with average wear. Backstrip lettering faded. Binding tight.
