Large collection of issues of the monthly Torah periodical Meged Yerachim, and issues of the periodical in its later form as HaMaggid, printed in Satmar from 1925-1930s.
* Meged Yerachim. The present item contains issues from 1925-1928. Edited by R. Yosef Chaim HaKohen Weiss of Satmar [see below].
* HaMaggid. Many issues of the monthly periodical Meged Yerachim under its new name HaMaggid, starting in 1928 – edited by R. Yitzchak Klein, head of Satmar Beit Din, author of Ohel Yitzchak.
16 volumes (over 100 issues). Varying size and condition. Many duplicate issues. The issues were not thoroughly examined, and they are being sold as is. Inscriptions, signatures and stamps. New bindings.
Meged Yerachim / HaMaggid
The Meged Yerachim monthly appeared with variations to the title page: one printing names R. Yitzchak Klein as editor (previously editor of Ohel Yitzchak – see previous item), while the second printing names R. Yosef Chaim HaKohen Weiss as editor (which is the case in the present issues). The monthly was apparently initially jointly edited by both men, with R. Yitzchak Klein being the content editor and R. Yosef Chaim Weiss being the official editor facing the Romanian authorities. However, they later split up due to a fierce dispute over the position of chief editor. R. Yitzchak Klein eventually left in 1928 and printed the periodical under a new name – HaMaggid. Meged Yerachim continued publication in decreasing frequency until 1930, while HaMaggid continued publication until 1939.
Interestingly, R. Yitzchak Klein used to sign the margins of some of his letters of that period "the true editor of the Meged Yerachim monthly". In the cover of one of the issues of HaMaggid appeared a notice by R. Yitzchak Klein: "I hereby publicly announce that from Rosh HaShanah of this year 5688 [1927] I have stopped editing the monthly Meged Yerachim, of which I was the sole creator, founder and editor for three years, and instead I edit HaMaggid".

Large collection of 22 large posters, announcements, notices and leaflets – against participating in the elections, and against the State of Israel and Zionism, with the (printed) signatures of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar and the important rebbes and rabbis of the extreme factions in Jerusalem – the Edah HaCharedit and Neturei Karta. [Israel and United States, ca. first half of the 20th century.]
The vast majority of the collection deals with the prohibition to vote and participate in the elections to the Knesset; another part deals with general opposition to the State of Israel and Zionism: the prohibition to accept funding from the state, the prohibition to participate in celebrations and parades for Israeli Independence Day, conscription and national service for girls, the prohibition to visit the Western Wall and holy places, and more.
Titles: "The Torah's view"; "Severe warning"; "Halachic ruling"; "Behold, Your enemies will perish"; "What does the posek of the generation say?"; "Words of the living God"; "The national Agudah committee – why?"; and more.
One of the posters is a "new year message" from Rebbe Yoel of Satmar after Israel's victory in the Six Day War, Iyar 1967, who writes: "We have gone through a difficult year, a year of tests and trials". He calls for perseverance not to fall in the "Zionist trap" – "and may we succeed in God's will to continue the holy Torah's way… and not, God forbid, turn a hairsbreadth from [our rabbis'] ways". The Rebbe gives a blessing for Ketivah VaChatimah Tovah and for a speedy salvation. Jerusalem, Elul 1967.
The posters and notices bear the (printed) signature of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar and the Berach Moshe Rebbe of Satmar.
