Vintage 1938 Pre-State Israel Palestine Benefit Concert Program Book Boston MA For Sale

This original vintage 1938 commemorative program was published by the Pioneers of Palestine to document their February 25th benefit concert at Jordan Hall in Boston. Rather than a standard commercial publication, this is a primary source document issued by the organization itself to raise funds for the Halutzim (pioneers) settling in the British Mandate of Palestine. The publication serves as a vital record of pre-1948 Zionist history, featuring a stark, urgent appeal for the establishment of a \"refuge\" during a time of global upheaval. It also functions as a directory of the late-1930s New York and Boston textile industries, containing dozens of high-end advertisements from the firms that funded these early settlement efforts.
