Book Theft at Yeshurun Library

[Klezcorner <Klezcorner...>]

I regret to inform you that the Yeshurun Synagogue Library was robbed

during Passover, on Hol Hamoed, most likely Sat. - Sun., April 22-23.

Despite an alarm system and triple locks, the vicious intents of louts to

rape a fine library was accomplished. I urge anyone who knows of books

stamped "Sifriat Yeshrun" to please contact me. From time to time I will

poste the names of titles robbed. 

For starts please keep these titles in mind. 


Nach-Ketubim, Paris: Stephanus Ettienne, 1538-1543 (3 volss.) 

Moreh Nevukhim, Venice, 1547 

Toldot Adam VeChava, Venice 1551

Avodat Ha-Kodesh Jerusalem, 1847 

Tenakh (Yiddish Translation by Blitz) Amsterdam: Uri Feivish, 1679 


Corrections and additions will be posted as soon as possible. 


Any information regarding book agents abroad who deal in "hot items" will

be apprecicated. There are  firm grounds to believe that the thieves who

plundered Yeshrun were responsible for book-thefts at Schoken, Yad Ben Zvi

and Mossad Harav Kook libraries. 


I appreciate your understanding and help, 


David Kerschen 

The Yeshurun Library, Jersusalem
