Jerusalem: Israel Bak 1843-4
THE FIRST MACHZOR PRINTED IN JERUSALEM.
For nearly two millennia, Jews around the world could only dream to one day make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for one of the three Regel Festivals: Pesach, Shavu’oth and Sukoth. The present work nods towards how the Jewish position in the Land of Israel was shifting, increasingly becoming more firmly established and materially productive.
The title proclaims the book was executed upon the printing-press of Moses and Judith. Sir Moses and his wife Lady Judith Montefiore of Ramsgate, England donated the press and so established a publishing industry in Eretz Israel.
For a rare variant issue of this Machzor containing prayers in English for the British Royal Family, see Kestenbaum Sale 94, lot 306.
