This was Tidhar's first work in which he relates about the "sins" of a few of the Land of Israel's residents of the time, per his work as police commander. In this book, he exposes, for the first time, the "other side" of life in the country - the tricks of the thievery trade of those born in the country ["the thief pretends to be suffering," "hug him and kiss him," "sins attained through mitzvah fulfillment"] along with episodes of drunkenness and murder. Along with the pictures of criminals that appear here for the first time, there are photos of Jews and Arabs in traditional garb with short descriptions of the features characteristic of their place of origin.
Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook wrote an interesting letter of greeting for this book [appears in his work B'Madim V'Lo B'Madim], "Great job on your clever work Chotim V'Chataim B'Eretz Yisrael. May it be His will that we soon merit the publication of a work titled Tzadikim V'Tzidkut B'Eretz Yisrael.

Printed sermon delivered by Rev. de Sola Pool in the Sephardic synagogue "Shearit Yisrael" of New York on parashat Chayei Sarah, November 15, 1930. The sermon argues that the great innovations in the field of physics attributed to Einstein, along with his understanding of the material world, were embodied in Judaism long before, and were expounded more deeply and broadly than in Einstein's great theories.
The sermon was articulated in sarcastic and critical language that negates Einstein's world-renowned greatness, and is opened with words of cynical honor: "When Albert Einstein speaks, the world listens." Rabbi Sola claims that Einstein's theory of relativity is hinted at by several verses in the Psalms. He also claims that Einstein's elucidations of verses with expressions of the Creator's personification are mistaken in light of the correct interpretation, because he ignores Chazal's principle, "The Torah speaks in human language." He continues, quoting phrases from the hymn 'Adon Olam,' and the wording of the prayer service that express the smallness of man in the face of the Creator's greatness, and attacks Einstein on basic elemental points in his thinking. The sermon is built in the form of debate, "Einstein tells us" on one side, and in opposition, the traditional Jewish worldview, embodied within the Writings in a manner far more profound and broad in comparison to the worldview of the great scientist.
This is an obscure sermon that was printed at the peak of the scientist's world publicity [about two years before he emigrated to America].
Is not in the National Library, nor bibliographically listed.
