Detailed
Description
   Made to look like an oversized Rosh HaShanah card, this broadside is written in Yiddish and English and wishes the supporters of Kollel America Tifereth Jerusalem (part of the Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes charity) a Good Year for the Hebrew year 5683. In columns on both sides of the broadside are candle lighting times for the coming year. In center is a photograph of the Central Kollel in Jerusalem and on both sides of that are drawingsof famous sites. Another illustration (of an American flag) is on the left, and what appears to the Israeli flag (though this is pre-1948) is on the right. There is a decorative border on all four sides, with the top line being a row of Jewish Stars.

Interestingly, the appeal is for charitable help particularly to the "Jewish American sufferers" in the Holy Land. Also included is a list of the directors of the charity, and also a Techina (special supplication) to be recited at the time of lighting the candles. There is a printing logo on the center of the bottom border. The words Sabbath and Union are legible. This may have been mailed to supporters as a request for donations.
