"Yesodot Hakeren HaKayemet LeYisrael" [The Foundations of the Jewish National Fund] – handmade illustrated book. [Israel, late 1940 or early 1950s].
Handmade book made of large leaves to which were mounted typewritten leaves alongside newspaper clippings and color illustrations, dealing with the Jewish National Fund's history, founders, major activists and activities, as well as philosophers whose ideas led to the fund's establishment.
Three chapters of the book, "The Establishment of the Jewish National Fund", "Dignitaries" and "The Activities of the Jewish National Fund", describe, in a simple language directed at children, the early Zionist philosophy of Moses Hess and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer, the establishment of the Jewish National Fund by Zvi Herman Shapira, the involvement of Theodor Herzl, the energetic work of Menachem Ussishkin for the Fund and his biography, the enterprise of the redemption of the land and the problem of profiteering of land in Palestine, the pioneering enterprise, the afforestation work of the Jewish National Fund, the idea of the Blue Box for raising funds in the Diaspora for the redemption of the land, and more. The title page of the book is decorated with JNF stamps. The color illustrations reflect in part the influence of the graphic language typical of contemporary JNF publications.
At the end of the book is an additional chapter, different in content and design, dedicated to a description of Jewish life in the Diaspora (titled "The Jewish Anomaly"). This chapter reviews Y.L. Pinsker's idea of auto-emancipation and deals, in a humorous manner, with the life of Jews in the Diaspora, using passages from the writings of Shalom Aleichem and Moyshe Nadir.
This item is possibly a draft for a book; however, no books by this title are held in the NLI and it seems that that the book was not published.
[25] leaves, 46X33 cm. Good condition. Stains. Creases. Filing holes in the right side of all the leaves.

A large and comprehensive collection of telegrams used for raising funds for the Jewish National Fund alongside sketches and proofs of Palestinian telegrams and additional paper items issued by the JNF. Europe, Palestine and Israel, the USA and elsewhere, ca. 1903 to 1989; most items are from are the first half of the 20th century.
Approx. 95 telegrams (many of them were designed by Emil Ranzenhofer and Joseph Budko) and sveral stationery papers, envelopes and sketches.
In ca. 1903, in an effort to raise funds and introduce the Zionist idea to every Jewish household, and alongside the use of boxes, stamps and other means, the Jewish National Fund started selling greeting telegrams. Alongside the "official" telegrams, telegrams for the JNF were printed and sold by other Zionist organizations, which transferred some of their revenues to the JNF. The price was noted on some of the telegrams, in local currency, and often JNF stamps were affixed to them, increasing the sum of the donation. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the word "Igeret" (letter) replaced the word "telegram" on the Hebrew telegrams; at the same time, the use of telegrams began to decline.
The telegrams in the collection before us belong to various categories and various periods in the history of the JNF and their artistic design varies in accordance with the spirit of the times.
The collection includes: • JNF telegrams from the early days of the JNF in Germany, Poland and Russia, including two telegrams bearing the illustration that appeared on the postcards of the second Zionist Congress that took place in 1898 (Ladani A1 and A2. Both with affixed "Zion" stamps. On one of them appears a handwritten greeting, in honor of the delegates of the sixth Zionist Congress and Theodor Herzl, by the members of "Agudat Zion" of Wilki). • Telegrams designed by Emil Ranzenhofer, printed to be used in various countries – USA, Germany, Poland, England, France, Austro-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and more. The earliest of these was sent in 1911 and the latest in 1937. • Telegrams designed by Joseph Budko, 1919 to 1939. • Various types of JNF telegrams printed in Poland. • Telegrams printed in Palestine since 1930, including a telegram that was used in Romania as well. • Regular postal telegrams to which JNF stamps were affixed. • Late telegrams (1950s to 1980s) which were printed by the JNF branches in Israel, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, and elsewhere. • And more.
Some of the telegrams in the collection, including early telegrams, do not appear in the Ladani catalog (1995); a few are variants of telegrams listed in the catalog and others are unknown.
Several telegrams bear paper seals which were also printed by the Jewish National Fund, and others bear inked stamps of JNF branches and of various Zionist organizations; many of them bear stamps, JNF stamps and handwritten or typewritten greetings.
In addition to the telegrams, the collection also contains two early stationery papers of the Russian branch of the JNF calling the public to donate to the redemption of the land (printed in 1907; their design is attributed to E.M. Lilien; Ladani, illustration 18); sketches and proofs of Palestinian telegrams, some presumably never printed; envelopes for mailing JNF telegrams, most of them Palestinian; and more.
A total of approx. 105 items. Size and condition vary. Good to good-fair overall condition. Holes, tears and several open tears. Several filing holes. Some of the tears are restored or reinforced with tape. Several tears reinforced with paper. Stains. Creases.
Literature: Greeting Telegrams of the Jewish National Fund, by Prof. Shaul Ladani (1995).

Two broadsides published during the time of the "War of Languages", dealing with the language of instruction at the educational institutions in Palestine.
1. "Gilui Daat" (Public Statement), broadside issued by the Teachers' Center, the Language Committee and the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine. [Palestine, late 1913].
The broadside opposes the decision of the board of governors of the Technion according to which "all general sciences at the Reali School and the Technion of Haifa will not be taught in Hebrew but rather in a foreign language" and explains the importance of the Hebrew language: "the language is the soul of the nation, the revival of our language is a necessary element in the revival of our nation". The broadside is signed in print by Dr. Yosef Luria on behalf of the Teachers' Center (the future Teachers Federation), Eliezer Ben Yehuda on behalf of the Language Committee and by six members of the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine.
Approx. 25X40 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Filing holes in the left margin.
2. "Kol Koreh" (Public Appeal), broadside issued by the Committee for Maintaining Hebrew Education in Haifa. Haifa, December 1913.
The broadside opposes the decision of the "Ezra" society according to which the language of teaching at its educational institutions will be German, announces the establishment of a Hebrew science- and math-oriented school in Haifa (the Reali school) and invites parents to send their children to the new school.
The broadside describes the violent struggle within the educational institutions of the "Ezra" society in Jerusalem (subsequent to a strike at the "Ezra" institutions, Ottoman policemen and soldiers were placed in the institutions, and these, as stated in this broadside, acted violently towards the teachers and students). An Ottoman revenue stamp on top.
22.5X43 cm. Good condition. A few minor stains. Torn filing holes in the margins. Small tears along fold lines and an open tear in the upper right corner. Mounted on thin acid-free paper.

A list of regulations, typewritten on eight separate pages, regularizing the activity of the "Vine-Growers Association" of Palestine: the aim of the association, planting vineyards, accepting new members, allocating funds, meetings and committees, and other subjects.
"The Vine-Growers Association" ("Agudat HaKormim") was established in 1905 by a group of farmers from the wineries of Baron Edmund de Rothschild. The vine-growers' goal was to take responsibility for the wineries and the trade and after a successful trial period, the Baron was persuaded to give them the authority over the wineries. The association is still active.
