(Palcor) — A Cultural Anniversary, as it was termned, was recently observed with the publication of a special issue of the periodical Ba'Mishor on the 100th anniversary of the first publication of a Hebrew book in Jerusalem. In the last century, over 6,000 Hebrew books have appeared in this city. The first Hebrew volume was printed in 1475 and was a com- mentary of Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaaci), in the Middle Ages, while shortly afterwards the Pentateuch appeared at Bologna. Since the invention of the print- ing press and of Hebrew type there have been 30,000 Hebrew books issued, several of which have run into a number of edi- tions. The Mishnah alone has had 120 editions, the Talmud 50, and the Passover Haggadah A Happy New Year to All ALPENA Printing Studio ARTHUR MACZEI Printers—Stationers Office Outfitters—Gifts COTTAGE ST.

In the 465 years since Hebrew books were first printed, until 1940, there had been 20,000 separate works. Na- ples and Rome were among the early publishing centers. Twenty per cent of all He- brew books published in the world have come from Jerusalem. The first work printed in this city was Avodath Hakodesh by Rabbi Haim Josepuh David Azu- lai, which has gone into 30 edi- tions in the ensuing 100 years. The first Hebrew press to be set up in Jerusalem was that of Rabbi Israel Back, who transferred it from Safed; on his death it was taken over by his son Nissan Back, who found- ed is synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem. He sold it in 1880 to J. M. Hershenzon. This press, with an historic printing ma- chine received from Sir Moses Montefiore, later passed to Sam- uel Zuckerman, and is now con- ducted by his son, Haim Zucker- man. The Saloman 'Press, founded by Rabbi Yoel Moshe Salomon— whose son, Mr. tlaim Salomon, one of the elders of the Jewish community in Jerusalem, is a Municipal Councillor — was for many years in the Nachlath Siva quarter of Jerusalem, one of the first houses to be put up outside the walls of the Old City being built by him. About a year ago, when the house was demolished, it went into Chief Rabbi Kook Street. The printing works of the Editor of Havatzeleth, first Hebrew periodical issued in Jeru salem by Rabbi Israel Dov Frum- kin (father of Mr. -Justice Gad Frumkin, C.B.., of the Palestine Supreme Court), is now called Sinai. Other Jewish printing presses dating back many years which are still operating in Jeru- salem are Moriah, Goldberg, Weiss, Cahana, Hashayish, Az- riel and Cohen. In his time, Rab- bi Israel Back, Jerusalem's first printer, printed 121 books. Among the leading Hebrew pub- lishing egncerns today, some of them having been transferred from Germany, are Shocken's Verlag, Achiassaf, Bamberger and Wahrmann, Lewin-Epstein Brothers, Rubin Mass, Moadon Hassefer, Ever and Kiryath Sefer (of the Hebrew University Press).

Le Shono Tovo Tikosevu MEZUZOT Mezuzot (literally, doorposts) are receptacles containing trans- criptions of Deuteronomy 6.4-9 and 11.13-21, which are attached by the observant Jew to the doorposts f every room. These inscription : are intended to re- mind man, as he enters home or leaves it, of the unity of God and the duty of loving Him. Somewhere along the crowded line of good-will organizations there ought to be one which will give advice to Jewish-looking Gentiles on how to behave and make friends so that Jews will not be blamed for their indis cretions . . . The other day we were at a small private beach run by a man named Earnhof- fer, a nice chap but 100% Aryan . . . A party of six Irish people came to the locker office. They were told the rates: 50 cents for bathers and 25 cents for non-bathers. The four old women who had only come to kibbitz the swimmers revolted. Turning away angrily they mut- tered that these Jews were going too far and ruining things . . . The young man who was guilty was a Nordic with a bit of "alien" Indian blood in him.
