Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. 236 pages. 238 x 164 mm. Ze'ev Jawitz (Zeev Yaavetz) (1847-1924), writer and historian, was born in Kolno to a wealthy family distinguished in lineage, scholarship, and piety. After an unsuccessful attempt at business, he devoted all his time to writing and scholarship. He contributed to Smolenskin's Ha-Shahar (in no. 11 (1882), 41-48). Jawitz won public recognition with his article "Migdal ha-me'ah " ("Tower of the century," in S.P. Rabinowitz (ed.), Keneset Yisrael, 1 (1887); repr. in his Toledot Yisrael, 13 (1937), 189-250), a survey of Jewish history from the death of Mendelssohn in 1786 to the death of Montefiore in 1886. The work's originality lay in the author's command of sources in Hebrew and other languages; in the inner integrity of his approach, which was a mixture of Eastern European Judaism, the romanticism of Ḥibbat Zion, and the Judaism of Frankfurt Orthodoxy (often characterized by the phrase Torah im derekh ereẓ, in the sense of "Torah and secular learning"); and in his writing style, a combination of biblical and scholarly Hebrew. Settling in Erez Israel in 1888, Jawitz taught in Zikhron Ya'akov. His writings were widely published in Erez Israel in such periodicals as Haaretz, Peri ha-Arez (1892), and Ge'on ha-Arez (2 vols., 1893-94). He also wrote several textbooks, including Tal Yaldut (1891), Ha-Moriyyah (1894), Divrei ha-Yamim le-Am Benei-Yisrael (1894), Divrei Yemei ha-Ammim (1893-94), and books in which he attempted to relate legends in biblical style, as in Sihot minni Kedem (1887, 19272). His popular work Neginot minni Kedem (1892) appeared in several editions. In Ereẓ Israel, Jawitz was active on the Va'ad ha-Lashon, the committee responsible for developing Hebrew as a modern language. He and his brother-in-law, J.M. Pines, contributed to the development of modern Hebrew by introducing linguistic elements from the literature of the Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrash, e.g., tarbut ("culture") and kevish ("road"). Jawitz left Eretz Israel in 1894, moving to Vilna, to Germany, and later to London. For a short while he was active in the foundation of Mizrachi in Russia and edited the monthly journal Ha-Mizrah (1903-04). Simultaneously, Jawitz continued his major work, Toledot Yisrael. . . (14 vols., 1895-1940; the first part appeared in Warsaw, and the last five parts were published by B.M. Lewin in Tel Aviv, 1932-40). The first six parts (comprising the first section) deal with the Jews in their land, from the Patriarchal Age to the end of the period of R. Judah ha-Nasi; the next eight parts deal with the Jews among the nations of the world, from the period of the amoraim to Hibbat Zion. Although Jawitz was not a modern historian, his contribution to Jewish historiography is distinctive and valuable in that he infused his historical account with commitment to Orthodoxy and love for Erez Israel.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This book explores a little-known but richly layered history of Jewish communities in one of the world's most diverse and dynamic regions. Spanning over a millennium, the Jewish presence in Central Asia and the Caucasus has often been overshadowed by broader imperial, colonial, and Soviet narratives. This groundbreaking collection sheds new light on how Jews-Bukharan, Mountain, Georgian, and Ashkenazi-lived, worked, and interacted with their Muslim and Christian neighbours across shifting political regimes.Drawing from fresh archival research, oral histories, and interdisciplinary approaches, nine scholars examine the complex cultural, linguistic, economic, and political entanglements that defined Jewish life in the region during the long 19th and 20th centuries. Topics range from demographic reviews, religious prejudice, trade networks and wartime evacuations to literary crosscurrents and everyday coexistence under Russian and Soviet rule. At its heart, the volume reveals how Jews were not peripheral actors but key contributors to the development of modern Central Asian and Caucasian societies.Accessible and insightful, Shared Spaces: Jews and Interethnic Encounters in Central Asia and the Caucasus, 19th-20th Centuries is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of minorities, interethnic relations, and the making of modern Eurasia. It invites a broader understanding of how diverse communities shaped the region's shared past.The chapters in this book were published in Central Asian Survey. …

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First edition. 8vo. 25 cm. 30 unnumbered pages, 27 of which have a chromolithographic, "illuminated" illustration of the Hebrew letter, and an object or thing which begins with that letter, as typical of ABC books, other than this one is using the Hebrew alphabet. The coloring, especially the profuse use of gold set against a gray slate backdrop, is riveting, and together with the general feel and style of the illustrations, relates easily to the Jugendstil book illustrations so prevalent in Germanic children's books of the period. Raban was a teacher of the Bezalel School of Art. The book is uncommon in its original edition, which this is. Moderate to arguably heavy wear and soiling.…
