    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dustjacket, as Issued. In Hebrew. 272 pages. 11 x 16 cm. Original wrappers reinforced to book block with cellutape. Top left corner of title page has a very small rubber stamp impression in Hebrew of the former owner, Professor Michael (Milton) Arfa, (1920 New York City - 2003 New York City) the distinguished Rabbi, author and professor of Hebrew literature and philosophy. Dr. Arfa taught generations of students at Yeshiva University, Herzliah Hebrew Teachers Institute, Hunter College, HUC-JIR and NYU. As chairman of the Israel Matz Foundation, Dr. Arfa devoted himself to aiding indigent Hebrew writers, and published scholarly works of Hebrew literature and philosophy. He was a gifted teacher, humanitarian, scholar, lover of Zion and above all a modest and quiet doer of good deeds. Moshe Ungerfeld (1898 Galicia, Poland -1983) studied in a Jewish teachers seminary and at the University of Vienna. He was an educator and published articles regularly in Hebrew newspapers. At the beginning of 1932, he met Bialik when the poet was in Vienna at the end of his visit to eastern Europe. In the summer of 1933, the two met again when Bialik came to Vienna for medical treatment. Even after the poet died, the strong feelings that had characterized Ungerfeld's relations to Bialik did not abate, and he devoted his life to one goal: the advancement of Bialiks name and memory and to making his works more widely known. With his appointment as director of Beit Bialik, Ungerfeld was able to realize his goal. During the 45 years in which he ran the house, Ungerfeld was so identified with Bialik that for many years, Beit Bialik and Ungerfeld were inconceivable one without the other.
