Moscow: Omanut 1918
Likely the first Jewish text issued in the newly formed Soviet Union. This edition of the Chumash was issued in Moscow, immediately after the October Revolution, the beginning of a very trying period in Russian-Jewish history. The publishing house Omanut was headed by Rosalia Gillelovna Zlatopolsky (Shoshana Persitz, 1892-1969), an activist associated with Tarbut, the movement dedicated to the dissemination of Hebrew culture. One of just a very few editions of the Chumash printed in the Soviet Union.
