'Kol Tzefat' April 23 1948. Published by the order of the commander of the city of Safed on behalf of the Hagana HaIvri in the Land of Israel, edited by Yeshayahu Ashni. Issue 3.
The issue before us mockingly reports above the British leaving Safed ["The manner in which the British left Safed revealed their true face. Last week they wanted to extort the posts we captured in battle from us...the treacherous, disgraceful and early exit of the "neutral" British from Safed...we have been freed from one cunning enemy who lived among us and at our expense and wished to destroy us..."]. The newspaper presents the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising as a model to be imitated in the war on the city of Safed ["The Nazis tried to break the ghetto and defeat its warriors for two weeks and were unsuccessful... Warriors of Safed pay attention!... The Israeli flag which was dropped in the ghetto wars will be re-flown over the fortress of Safed. Safed will be the capital of the Galilee..."]. In addition is a report about the Haganah forces who conquered Tiberius, and on how the city's Arabs fled, a notice about the death of Kokaji, the commander of the Arab gangs, the defensive war in Ramat Yochanan and more.
A total of 11 issues were published which accompanied the military effort with ongoing information from the city of Safed until it was finally captured in the War of Independence.

A booklet published by the United Kibbutz Movement - Culture Committee, the General Federation of Hebrew Workers in the Land of Israel. Edited by Yehuda Shertock [Sharett]. 1938. Illustrations in the style of woodcutting by Aharon Giladi.
As written in the foreword, the background for the booklet was a gathering of school children in Meshek Yagur held on the Shabbat Nachamu following Tisha B'Av during the Arab Revolt of 1936. It was meant to deepen the children's connection to the murder and loss around them by recalling times of suffering in the nation's early history in the language of the Bible. Therefore, verses of this type were compiled to be read with music notes. Over time, these excerpts were also used by the Kibbutz's graduates. The collection was played on various occasions at the laying of the cornerstone of the first house in the naval department of the United Kibbutz Movement in Haifa Bay, at the first gathering after continual days of suffering in Kibbutz Yagur on Succot 1937, and on the thirtieth day from the death of M. Belinson at a memorial ceremony at Givat HaShlosha from the active committee of the Federation and more. The forewords of the booklets have performance instructions which include narration, choral singing, incorporating the excerpts and more.
