Ladino periodical with this issue's focus on Zionism and Erez Israel. The issue contains articles by R. Joseph Uziel and others on the importance of aliyah and support for the pioneers (haluzim). Several period photos of Erez Israel bouns in.
Ladino religious literature had its origins in pre-expulsion Spain, it was only in exile, however, that it really developed. The major original translations include the Book of Psalms (Constantinople, 1540); the Pentateuch (Constantinople, 1547); the Prophets (Salonika, 1572); and a complete translation of the Bible by R. Abraham ben Isaac Assa (Constantinople, 1739–45), which became the most popular text among the Sephardi communities of the East.
