(ZIONISM)
Ephraim Deinard. Havu Tamim! Kol MiTzion el Tzirei HaCongress HaTzioni BeVien. [“Be perfect! A Voice from Zion to the Delegates of the Zionist Congress in Vienna.”]
First Edition. With memorial dedication to Theodor Herzl.
pp. 40. Original printed wrappers, rear cover torn. 8vo.
Jerusalem: By the Author 1913
A polemic addressed to the delegates of the 11th Zionist Congress, which met in Vienna in 1913. Deinard here criticizes the leaders of the Congress (“let fire and brimstone rain down upon President Wolffsohn, Kahn, [and] Cohen”) for issues including the mis-allotment of JNF funds, and the plight of Yemenite Jewish immigrants. Ephraim Deinard (1846-1930) was a Hebrew bibliographer and bookseller who obtained, along with the financial aid of Jacob Schiff, much of what is now the Hebrew collection retained by the Library of Congress. Deinard was especially well known as a polemicist, writing equally against Reform Judaism, Hasidism, Christianity and Karaism. Deinard was a committed Zionist, and helped found the Zerubavel organization along with Leon Pinsker, which encouraged Russian Jews to immigrate to Palestine - in 1913, he immigrated himself, only to be expelled by the Turks in 1916.
