Description

This lot features the second volume of the renowned Yiddish travelogue by the poet and scholar Yehoash (Solomon Bloomgarden).

  • Title: Fun New York Biz Rehovot Un Tzurik (From New York to Rehovot and Back).
  • Author: Yehoash (Solomon Bloomgarden).
  • Publication: Published by Hebrew Publishing Company, New York, 1917.
  • Content: This volume continues Yehoash’s insightful observations of the Jewish Yishuv in Ottoman Palestine. It is particularly valued for its descriptions of the spiritual and cultural life in the early settlements.
  • Historical Provenance: This volume contains the official stamps of the "Central Library of the General Federation of Jewish Workers in Eretz Israel" (Histadrut), marking its significance in early Israeli labor and intellectual history.
  • Notable Connection: Yehoash is celebrated for his definitive Yiddish translation of the Tanakh. His travelogues provide the essential "on-the-ground" context for the linguistic research he conducted while living in Israel. Note: This single volume is a significant companion to Lot 51 (the two-volume set by Yehoash) described in this auction’s next lot.
