Tehillim. Warsaw, 1927. With exegesis and inscription by the "Shalag", R' Samuel Leib Gordon. 

Wrinkled and a bit torn around the border. Binding and some pages detached. Decent condition.


Samuel Leib Gordon (1865-1933), Hebrew writer and Bible scholar, born in Lithuania. He immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1898 and for three years was a member of the staff of the Jaffa Boys school. In 1901 he was invited to found a Hebrew school for boys in Warsaw, Poland. In 1924 he returned to Eretz Israel and devoted the rest of his life to writing a commentary on the Bible with the aim of providing "a new scientific pedagogical interpretation for advanced students and teachers…" The commentary was largely based on German Bible criticism. Gordon tried to explain the subject matter simply enough for school children to understand without elaborating on the religious significance of the Bible. He edited and added commentaries to the Books of Proverbs and Psalms. Gordon’s commentaries were used widely in non-religious Israel schools until quite recently.

Gordon wrote a number of other books, for both adults and children and contributed poems, articles and translations to various Hebrew publications. His Hebrew textbooks played an important role in Hebrew education in the Diaspora. He is known as "Shalag" from the initials of his name in Hebrew.
