Broadsides for Speaking Engagements, 1925-1930

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 12

Scope and Content Note

From the Collection:

This collection contains a small amount of business correspondence in English, Hebrew and Yiddish, relating to Rabalsky's activities with multiple Zionist groups, including the American Jewish Congress, the American Zion Commonwealth, the Zion Association of Greater Boston and the New England Zionist region. It also contains family correspondence in Yiddish. Rabalsky did travel to Palestine and some notes from his trip are included (in Hebrew.) The collection highlights Rabalsky's dedication to Zionist causes as well as the regard he held in the Boston community. Also in an oversized folder located in a shared oversized box is a broadside from 1925, featuring a photograph of Benjamin Rabalsky, a participant in the program, “An All Palestinian Evening: New Palestinian Moving Pictures” at the Roger Wolcott School in Mattapan, Massachusetts. The broadside, which is in Yiddish and English, is restricted due to its fragility.
