Starý židovský hřbitov pražský (Ancient Jewish Cemetery of Prague), printed album. By Luboš Jeřábek. Prague, 1903.
Contains an extensive preface [in Czech], colored illustration and dozens of photographs of the ancient Jewish cemetery of Prague. In the photographs, the tombstones of the leaders of the city of Prague from past generations can be seen: Rabbi Avigdor Kara, the Maharal of Prague, Rabbi David Oppenheim, Rabbi David Ganz etc.
The Jewish cemetery of Prague is the oldest preserved cemetery in Europe. It has been used at least from the first half of the 15th century [the tombstone of Rabbi Avigdor Kara who died in 1439 is preserved there], but some claim that it was established hundreds of years before. The site has approximately 12,000 tombstones, but the assessment is that throughout the generations about 100,000 people have been buried there, and due to crowding, they are buried in layers, one on top of another.
5-38, [2] pages + 23 photograph plates. 30 cm. Good condition, slight wear. Original binding.
The copies of the wording on the tombstones in the Prague cemetery were brought in the book “Gal Eid” by R' Kalman Liban, Prague 1856.

"Orthodox Jews in all Lands – Purchase Land in Eretz Yisrael" (Yiddish)
A membership notebook of “Bayit V'Nachala” Association, for purchase of land in Bnei Brak. [Warsaw, 1920s].
Printed booklet, with the Association's regulations and purchase stipulations with empty lines for completing the member's name, details of the property and payment. In the center of the booklet is a map of the settlements in Central Eretz Yisrael and Bnei Brak's designated location.
In 1921, an association called “Bayit V'Nachala” was established by a group of Chassidim headed by Rabbi Yitzchak Gershtenkorn, whose goal was to establish an agricultural settlement in Eretz Yisrael for charedi Jews from Poland. In 1922, a plot of land near the Arab village “Ebn Ibrak” was purchased and the association members began to market the properties changing its name to “Bnei Brak” [called after the Jewish settlement from the time of the Tana'im which existed in the area]. In 1924, the first group settled there. In its early years, the settlement was sustained by agriculture and farms, but as the years passed, it developed into a crowded city with typical charedi characteristics.
Fifteen pages. 16.5 cm. Very good condition.
