Printed leaf, appeal for support for the Torah MiTzion anthology. Jerusalem, 1888.
Torah MiTzion was published in Jerusalem in 1887-1902 by the publisher and printer R. Shmuel Zuckermann, and edited by R. Yaakov Orenstein. It served as a prominent forum for the Torah thoughts and halachic novellae of many of the leading Torah scholars of the time, such as the Maharil Diskin, R. Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, the Netziv of Volozhin, R. Shmuel Salant, R. Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, and others.
After the publication of the fourth volume, the publisher issued the present appeal, calling for assistance with the publication expenses. He describes the widespread distribution of the anthology, and the many praises it garnered. He concludes with a long list of rabbis who urge to support the anthology.

Volume of issues of HaTzvi – periodical edited by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, years 3-5. Jerusalem, 1886-1889.
HaTzvi was a Hebrew periodical published in Ottoman Jerusalem in 1884-1915, in various formats and under various names (at one point the name was changed to HaOr, due to censorship restrictions). Defined in the sub-headline as a bi-weekly on Jewish affairs in the Land of Israel, for the revival of the language, for literature and for international news. HaTzvi is renowned for its battle against the Old Yishuv and its values, and served Ben-Yehuda as a forum for disseminating the values of Zionism and the revival of the Hebrew language. Many of the periodical's contributors were maskilim of the New Yishuv.
The present volume comprises most of the issues of the 3rd, 4th and 5th years: 3rd year – issues 6-26 (without first 5 issues); 4th year – issues 1-30, 32 (without issue 31); 5th year – issues 2-24, 26-29 (without issues 1, 25). Enclosed with most issues are supplement leaves usually published with the issues (a detailed list will be sent upon request).
