The First Rare Booklet of "Luach Eretz Yisrael" (the Calendar of the Land of Israel) by Rabbi Yechiel Michel ...

The First Rare Booklet of "Luach Eretz Yisrael" (the Calendar of the Land of Israel) by Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tucazinsky – The First Calendar of Its Kind in the Land of Israel - 1905
Before us is the first calendar published by Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tucazinsky, the first who published a halachic daily calendar in the Land of Israel. Extremely rare! The Jewish community of Jerusalem of those days was small in number ; therefore, not many copies of the booklet were printed. Naturally, those who had purchased the booklet did not keep it from year to year since every year, an updated booklet was reprinted. Therefore, hardly any copies of the booklet, like the one before us, had survived.
The booklet does not exist in libraries in Israel, even in the National Library, which own only the next booklets that was printed in 1906 (towards 1907). The booklets Is not listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book.
This booklet-shaped calendar was printed in 1905. It contains the laws and customs of the Prushim community, the community of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon in the Land of Israel. The booklet also introduces the customs of other rabbis such as the Aderet, who was then the rabbi of Jerusalem.
In addition, the booklet includes halachic times determined by Rabbi Tucazinsky and which were based on his halachic rulings and precise observations he had made in order to determine the times of sunrise and sunset.
Rabbi Yechiel Michel published the calendar between the years 1905-1955, fifty years.
After his death, his son Rabbi Nissan Aharon continued to edit and print the calendar. After his death, the grandson, Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Tucazinsky, continued to publish the booklet, more than a hundred years after the publishing of the first booklet in the series – a unique phenomenon in religious literature!
Today, the calendar can be found as a wall edition and as a small booklet and can be found in most synagogues in Israel. Most of the synagogues of Ashkenazic communities act according to it.
Condition: Good. Typical wear. Has a fragile cover.
