The Hebrew Physician/ Ha-Rofe Ha-Ivri

American Jewry before the Second World War was still subject to discrimination and quotas to a sufficiently substantial degree that publications such as Moses Einhorn's The Hebrew Physician had a purpose beyond simple chauvinism. I sometimes use the term "Jewish Medicine." Unlike the term "Jewish Medical Ethics," I don't really believe that it describes something that actually exists. Perhaps, "Jews in Medicine," would be a better fit but it just doesn't role off my tongue. Thus, the title proves to be a fitting title. "Ha-Rofe Ha-Ivri" brought together articles of concern to a Jewish audience in a way that no secular medical journal would have.
           The articles in "The Hebrew Physician" address current medical issues in the wider medical community. These articles may have appeared in "The Hebrew Physician" because they were not successfully placed in mainstream medical publications. Einhorn was a gastroenterologist and they is some bias towards that medical specialty. There are articles about Jewish medical practices as depicted in Torah, Talmud and Halakhah. There are articles on Medicine in Mandate Palestine and early Israel as well as Hadassah Hospital specifically. There are also articles on Hebrew Medical terminology in Jewish texts and in Modern Hebrew. Special issues focus on Sigmund Freud, Saul Tchernicovsky, Wartime Conditions (Second World War), and Diabetes.
           Publication began in 1927 and continued through 1963 (or 1965 by some accounts) It was interrupted between 1928-29, 1931-32 and 1934-35.
           Einhorn was active in American Jewish communal activities and in the efforts to create Medical organization in Mandate Palestine. Most of his family remained in Europe and were lost. He edited the Yizkor book for Wolkovisk which is one of the most useful and detailed of all of the Yizkor Bikher. Einhorn died in early 1966.

Official British Annual Reports on Mandate Palestine 1925, 1933 and four of the intervening years

                These reports by the British colonial government catalog the laws created and enforced with statistics and analysis. In their cold bureaucratic way they tell a great deal of the quotidian story of Mandate Palestine. The volume for 1933 includes twenty sub-sections within the main section Palestine (other sections are Trans-Jordan and Appendices) which are: Jewish National Home Autonomous Administration, Jewish Agency, Immigration and Emigration, Land Regime, Nationality, Judicial System, Economic Equality, Holy Places, Freedom of Conscience, Military Clauses, International Agreements Conventions and Treaties, Antiquities, Official Languages, Holy Days, Trans-Jordan (refers you to the large section - very British), Labour, Trade in and Manufacture of Drugs Arms and Liquors, Education, Public Health, Public Finance, Demographic Statistics, Customs Excise and Trade, Posts Telegraphs and Telephones, Agriculture Forests and Fisheries, Public Works Geology and Mining and (lastly) Railways.
                 Perhaps it is just me that is interested in these sorts of things. Back when I was still in Junior High School I became so obsessed with a 1943 pocket encyclopedia of the US that another kid had that I insisted that he sell it to me. $5.00 was the price that we settled on. He thought he had made a killing but honestly I couldn't have been more thrilled. Sometimes the little details in all their dryness can be the sharpest spurs on the imagination. Like I said, maybe its just me.
               All of these are available on the hollanderbooks.com website subject to prior sale.
