Tractate Megilah, Vowelized and Annotated – Manuscript by Jacob Newman, Teacher at the Hebrew Teachers College in Boston
"Tractate Megilah of the Babylonian Talmud. Proofread, vowelized and annotated, with an introduction and an alphabetically ordered list of all the names of the sages it refers to, by Jacob Newman, a lecturer of Talmud at the Hebrew Teachers College in Boston" (Hebrew). [Boston, ca. 1930s to early 1950s].
Manuscript of a vowelized and annotated edition of Tractate Megilah, written with pencil on note paper, by the Bible and Talmud teacher at the Hebrew Teachers College in Boston, Jacob Newman. With a title page, short preface and a list of the sages referred to by the tractate, alphabetically ordered.
The preface states: "The Babylonian Talmud is following, unfortunately, in the footsteps of its elder brother the Jerusalem Talmud, and is being forgotten by our people… by the new vowelization and punctuation I hope to simplify study for students newly acquainted with the Talmud" (Hebrew).
The Hebrew Teachers College in Boston (presently the Hebrew College) was established in 1921 by the Jewish-American educator Louis Hurwich. Classes were all taught in Hebrew, and several secular subjects were included in the curriculum: modern Hebrew literature, sociology and Jewish history.
No edition of Tractate Megilah edited by Jacob Newman is recorded in OCLC (editions of other tractates and Talmudic chapters edited by him were published during the 1930s to the early 1950s).
