Lyck, 1880-1860. Enormous collection of 1000 issues (!) from twenty years, bound in 18 volumes.
Background: 'Hamaggid' was the first weekly newspaper in the history of Hebrew journalism. It was published between 1856-1903, first in the city of Lyck in Eastern Prussia, and later in Berlin, Krakow and Vienna. Its first editor was Eliezer Lipman Zilberman, followed by David Gordon, a supporter of 'Chibat Zion,' who turned the newspaper into one of the leading platforms for the Jewish enlightenment movement in Eastern Europe and for settlement of the Land of Israel. The newspaper was later edited by Yitzchak Shlomo Fuchs. It was called 'HaMaggid' for most of the years of its circulation, but there were years it was called 'HaMaggid L'Yisrael.'

Kol Yisrael. Weekly Ultra-Orthodox newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Ultra-Orthodox community in the Land of Israel. The Ultra-Orthodox community and Agudat Yisrael's main means of publicity during the British Mandate. Jerusalem, 1922-1948. Enormous collection with (almost) all the newspapers printed over nearly thirty years. Bound in 8 volumes.
Background: The central newspaper of the Ultra-Orthodox community in the Land of Israel, which followed events in Israel and the Diaspora for the best part of thirty years. A tumultuous period of history: the waves of immigration to Israel, the battle against Zionism along with the dispute with Religious Zionism, the Arab riots, the Holocaust period, the Teheran Children, until a few months after the establishment of the State of Israel when the newspaper's publication ceased. The first editor was Rabbi Rafael Katzenelbogen. Rabbi Amram Blau then edited the newspaper for seven years, but he left the newspaper due to coarse expressions against Rabbi Kook. His brother Rabbi Moshe Blau then became editor in chief, and Moshe Glikman-Porush was the actual editor.
In the issues written during the Holocaust years it can be seen how the information about the destruction of European Jewry gradually reached Israel. In the issue from Adar 1943 (1080) the story of the ninety three holy girls who were murdered in the Holocaust appears for the first time.
Enormous collection containing all the years in which the newspaper was printed, almost 1,300 editions. The first (and last) issues, and possibly a few other issues, are lacking.
Condition: Fine overall condition. Re-bound in 8 volumes.
