Description		    A history of Hasidic immigration to Erez Israel by noted historian Israel Halpern (1910-1971). The volume has both a Hebrew and English title page, but the text is entirely in Hebrew and pagination proceeds from the right. Halpern was born in Bialystok, Poland, emigrated to Erez Israel in 1934, began his teaching career at the Hebrew University in 1949, and became professor in 1963. His main interest was the history of East European Jewry, particularly pinkasim ("registers"). His publications include Pinkas Va'ad Arba Arazot ("Minutes of the Council of the Four Lands," 1945); Ha-Aliyyot ha-Rishonot shel ha-Hasidim le-Erez Israel ("Early Hasidic Immigration to Palestine," 1956); and Takkanot Medinat Mehrin ("Moravian Community Enactments," 1952). He also edited Sefer ha-Gevurah (3 vols., 1941, 19512), a historical-literary anthology of Jewish self-defense and martyrdom, and Beit Yisrael be-Polin (2 vols., 1948–54), a collection of essays on Polish-Jewish history. Halpern took a leading part in the work of the Israel Historical Society, and was coeditor of the journals Zion and Shivat Ziyyon, publications devoted to the history of Zionism.
