Hardcover. Etat : Poor. No Jacket. 4th Edition. In Hebrew. (8), 234, 24 pages. Pages yellowed and fragile. First two leaves detached. 24 x 16.5 cm. Ex library. Isaac Hirsch Weiss' Dor Dor we-Dorshaw, in five volumes, was first published in Vienna (between 1871-1891) where Weiss spent most of his life. A Yiddish edition was printed in Vilna 1904-1910. This is Weiss' largest and most important work, and it secured his reputation as a prominent 19th century scholar of Talmudic and rabbinic literature. The work is a history of the Halakha, or oral law, from Biblical times until after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. He deals not only with the sequence of the halakhah, but also with the development of the aggadah, with the history of talmudic and rabbinic literature and with the character traits of important sages. Most Talmud scholars immediately adopted the work as their standard history. While Weiss rejected biblical criticism and believed that the Pentateuch was a unified work dating from the time of Moses, he did see it as largely a product of human design and subject to historical analysis. He therefore came under criticism from many orthodox traditionalists.The entire set (not here) is: Helek 1. Mi-kadmatah 'ad hurban ha-Bayit ha-sheni. helek 2.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. In Yiddish. 360 pages + leaves of portraits. 232 x 160 mm. Top left corner of title page has the rubber stamp impression "Picon -Kalich Mahopac N.Y." This book was in the Molly Picon library in her summer home in Mahopac. MOLLY PICON Diminutive superstar of Yiddish stage and screen Molly Picon (b. New York City, February 28 or June 1, 1898; d. Lancaster, PA, April 5, 1992), over her course of eighty years as an entertainer, had an enormous impact on Jewish culture in Europe and Israel as well as in America. Until she was well into her forties, her typical persona was an adorable but streetwise waif of twelve, often dressed as a boy, capable of executing headstands, somersaults, cartwheels, and flying stunts while singing, dancing, and playing all sorts of musical instruments. Most of Picon's vehicles were written, produced, and directed by her husband, Jacob Kalich, who sometimes performed as well. She was born Małka (Margaret) Opiekun on New York's Lower East Side; her father was a charming but feckless tradesman from Warsaw, and her mother, from Kiev, worked as a seamstress. When Molly's younger sister Helen was born, her father left home. Her mother took the two girls and her own mother to Philadelphia and supported them all as a theatrical costumer. Molly was performing from the age of five, when she won five dollars at a talent contest (and collected two more dollars singing for the trolley passengers on the way there). She spent many nights of her youth and adolescence doing song-and-dance routines in theatres, and although she loved school, the exhaustion caught up with her and she left high school at sixteen. A touring vaudeville troupe calling itself the Four Seasons took Molly Picon on the road in the part of "Winter." During the height of the influenza epidemic, the troupe found itself in Boston where all the vaudeville houses had been shuttered for fear of contagion. Only the Boston Grand Opera House remained available. Its manager was Jacob Kalich - "Yonkel" -, a cultivated Polish immigrant who had quit rabbinical school for a career in the theatre; he and Molly fell in love. They were married in June 1919, she in a dress made by her mother from a stage curtain. In 1920 Molly was delivered of a stillborn baby girl and was told she could never bear children. In post-World-War-II years, however, the couple more than satisfied their longing by foster-parenting four adolescent children in Europe and Israel. Yonkel determined that they should go on tour to Europe, to absorb Yiddish culture and to improve Molly's accent, which was less than authentic. In Vienna she made several films: her first, Das Judenmadel (The Jewish Girl 1921) is now lost; Ost und West (East and West 1923), in which Picon plays a feisty American kid (in boxing gloves) with no respect for old European ways, is the first Yiddish (though silent) film to have survived. The couple played in Kishnev, Lemberg, Jassy, Bucharest, London, and Paris, presenting Molly almost always as a cross-dressing tomboy. When they returned to New York in the later '20s, they moved into the Second Avenue Theatre with Yonkele ("Little Yonkel"), Tzipke, Shmendrik ("Loser"), Gypsy Girl, Molly Dolly, Little Devil, Raizele, Oy is Dus A Madel ("What a Girl!"), and The Circus Girl. Business boomed and they bought a house in Mahopac, NY, which they dubbed "Chez Schmendrik." Kalich put all their money in the stock market and lost the better part of it in the 1929 crash, much to his wife's distress. But an opportunity arose to buy the Second Avenue Theatre in 1930; he renamed it the Molly Picon Theatre and soon recouped all his losses. Picon and Kalich returned to Europe in the late '30s, just when anti-Semitism was on its dangerous rise, to make the musical Yidl Mit'n Fidl (1937) under Joseph Green in Warsaw. She was paid a record sum of $10,000 playing a twelve-year-old girl who dresses as a boy so she can travel . . .…

Hardcover. Etat : Acceptable. No Jacket. In Yiddish. 170 pages. 205 x 148 mm. Paper yellowed, front blank and title page detached. Red cloth with gold lettering on board. With rubber stamp impression and handwritten names of Molly Picon and husband Jacob Kalich. Molly Picon was a fabled actress of stage and screen Molly Picon and her husband Jacob Kalich. She was born Malka Opiekun in New York City Feb 28, 1898 and died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania April 5, 1992. She was a U.S. actress of stage, screen and television, a lyricist and dramatic story-teller. Years active: 1904-1984. Husband: Jacob Kalich (1919-1975). She was a star of the Yiddish theatre and film, but later turned to English-language productions. Her parents were Polish Jewish emigrants: Clara (née Ostrow), a wardrobe mistress, and Louis Opiekun, a shirtmaker. Opiekun is "guardian" or "caretaker" in Polish. She later changed it to Picon. Her career began at the age of six years in the Yiddish Theatre. In 1912, she debuted at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia and became a star of the Yiddish Theater District, performing in plays in the District for seven years. Picon was so popular in the 1920s that many shows had her adopted name, Molly, in their title. In 1931, she opened the Molly Picon Theatre. She appeared in many films, starting with silent movies. Her earliest films were made in Europe; among the first was the Yiddish film East and West, made in Vienna in 1923, which is the earliest of her films that survives. The film depicts a clash of New and Old World Jewish cultures. She plays a U.S.-born daughter who travels with her father back to Galicia in East Central Europe. Her husband Jacob Kalich played one of her close relatives. Picon's most famous film, Yidl Mitn Fidl (1936), was made on location in Poland and shows her wearing male clothing through most of the film. In the film, a girl and her father are forced by poverty to set out on the road as traveling musicians. For her safety, she disguises herself as a boy, which becomes inconvenient when she falls in love with one of the other musicians in the troupe. Later Mamele was made in Poland. In 1934, Picon had a musical comedy radio show, the Molly Picon Program, on WMCA. . . From on-line obituary: "Herman Yablokoff, an actor, composer, playwright, director and producer in the American Yiddish theater for more than 55 years, died [1981].He was 77 years old.Mr. Yablokoff was president of the Hebrew Actors Union in New York, a post he had held for numerous terms between 1945 and his death. The union, affiliated with the Associated Actors and Artistes of America, was founded in 1900. He also was president of the Yiddish Theatrical Alliance. Born in Grodno, Poland, in 1903, he began playing children's roles in the Yiddish theater at the age of 12.Mr. Yablokoff came to this country in 1924 and settled in New York. Among the extravaganzas he wrote for the theater on lower Second Avenue in the 1930's and 40's were ''Der Payatz'' (''The Clown''), a role he also popularized on a New York radio program; ''The King of Song, '' ''Goldela Dem Bakers, '' ''Mein Veise Blum'' and ''Der Dishwasher. '' His last musical, written, staged and directed by him and in which he played the role of the father, was ''My Son and I, '' in 1960.Mr. Yablokoff became chairman of the Yiddish National Theater in New York, a nonprofit institution for creativity and expanding awareness of the Yiddish stage. Earlier, he had written and published his two-volume memoirs, ''Around the World With Yiddish Theater, '' which won him the 1970 Zvi Kesel Prize for Yiddish literature.As he became more prominent in the Yiddish theater, Mr. Yablokoff traveled extensively abroad but no trip meant more to him, according to his family, than a seven-month tour of refugee camps in Germany, Austria and Italy in 1947. He gave 104 performances in 94 camps for 180,000 Jewish refugees. . .…

Gelblum included most of the root words in the Tanakh, the Bible, or what Christians call the "old testament", plus words derived from them, apparently using as a basis the concordances of Buxtorf, Bear and Furst. He did not provide the actual verses in which the words appeared. Later editions were: 1883, 1893, this edition of 1908 and others.…
