A remarkable certificate of appreciation, presented to Leib Gershevich by the "Tientsin Jewish Association", Tientsin, China. September 9, 1937. Russian and English.
Honorary certificate presented to Leib Gershevich, one of the prominent leaders of the city of Tientsin, when he left the city.
"As honorary president of the Tientsin Jewish Union, the Tientsin Hebrew school, the culture club 'Kunst', the Zionist movement in Tientsin, and many other organizations in Tientsin, you always endowed optimism and faith in our community. Your moral and financial support enabled us to widen the scope of our activities for the benefit of the community… your departure is a serious loss for our community. We take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of all the members of the Tienstin Jewish community and on behalf of this organization".
Certificate is signed by representatives of various Jewish organizations in Tienstin: "The Jewish Union of Tientsin", Hebrew school, Hebrew club "Kunst", "Gemilut Hesed" organization, Tienstin Zionist Association, "Beitar" organization, and others.
The certificate's text appears twice, in Russian and in English. The certificate is printed on paper of good quality and bound in a fine binding. On the front binding appears a large silver plate, with engraved decorations and an inscription: "to the honorable Leib Gershevich, from the Tienstin Jewish Community" (in Russian and in English).
Until the year 1904 only ten Jewish families lived in Tientsin. The 1917 revolution in Russia led to the rapid growth of the city's Jewish population. In 1906 the Jews established the "Tientsin Jewish Union", which rendered various religious services. Side by side with this union the "Tientsin Hebrew Association" was active in the city and took care of founding various community institutes – soup kitchens, hospitals, homes for the elderly, etc. In 1928 the Jewish club "Kunst" was founded and dealt with culture and leisure. Side by side with these entities, "Beitar" and "Maccabi" were also active in the city and the Zionist movement had a significant impact on Jewish life in the city. When the city was occupied by the Japanese the number of Jews in the city was reduced (in 1939, only 1,800 Jews lived in the city, half of them USSR natives).
[4] leaves, 40 cm. Silver plate: 34X24 cm. Good condition.
