Detailed
Description		    Strong polemic work attacking the idol worship of the nationalists (Zionists, ha-la’umit) without naming specific individuals or actions. The title page states that it is a compilation from the Bible, Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds, midrashim, the holy Zohar, Shulhan Arukh, and other sources. It testifies on the falsehood and great forgery of the national avodah zarah. The text is made up of quotes from the preceding sources with commentary from similar sources. For example, (Midrash Rabbah Leviticus Behukosai) R. Elazar learned, “The sword and the book were given intertwined from heaven.” The Holy One, blessed be He, said to them, if you keep what is written in this book you will be delivered from the sword. If not, at the end it will kill you. From where do we know this, for it says, “So he drove out the man; and he placed Kerubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life” (Genesis 3:24).
