STANLEY FOLDING RULES A History and Descriptive Inventory by Sellens, Alvin - 1984

97 - 127 Seiten. Die Monatsschrift "Esra" erstrebte, wie es in einer Ankündigung heißt, "die Verknüpfung des jüdischen Intellektuellen mit der Entwicklung und mit dem Geschehen seines Volkes". "Esra" verstand sich als Forum zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Leistungen des offiziellen Zionismus.

Die Zeitschrift stand der 'Jüdischen Renaissance' nahe und zielte darauf, vor allem den assimilierten Kreisen des Westjudentums genuin jüdische, vornehmlich osteuropäische Kulturtraditionen zu vermitteln.

In his mid-thirties, Lawrence published two books of… Read More
