[ha-Safran] new book on Jews of Izmir (Smyrna)

[RIFAT BALI via Hasafran]

Dear Safranim

We would like to bring to your attention the following title


Leah Bornstein-Makovetsky, *Jews in the Economic Life of Constantinople and
Smyrna in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries (1700-1820)*, Libra
Kitap, İstanbul, 2022, 388 p.. 978-625-8472-23-3

Price: $ 45.- plus postage.
Payment by credit card.
If interested please contact us.
Back cover text.
The book consists of ten chapters that are based mainly on new sources. The
chapters discuss the economic activities of Jews and non-Jews in
Constantinople and Smyrna during the long eighteenth century (1700-1820).
The chapters also contain information relating to Salonica. The primary
material for the volume was the Levant Company's official correspondence
exchanged between its administration and employees, political authorities
in England and the Sublime Porte. This work is based also on archival
research of Jewish sources, mainly the Responsa literature, in order to
understand the various topics under discussion. Jews frequently appear in
these studies due to their place in local and international trade and
because of the close ties between Jewish brokers and European merchants.
The ten chapters of the book are based on undisclosed documentation and
deal mainly with the Jews of Constantinople and secondarily also with the
Jews of Smyrna, with slight reference also to the Jews of Salonica. The
purpose of the research is to point out the deep involvement of the Jews in
these cities in trade and money lending, and to study the connections of
Jewish brokers, merchants, and Sarrafs in the above cities with the British
merchants in the period under discussion.


Kind regards

Hi Everyone!

I created ten new Passover Hebrew song pages at:
jr.co.il/links/#hebrew-songs-passover

The new pages are:

* Kadesh Urchatz
* Mah Nishtanah
* Chad Gadya
* Dayenu
* Betzeit Yisrael Mimitzrayim
* Echad Mi Yodeah
* Ki Lo Naeh
* Adir Hu
* Vehi Sheamda
* L'Shana Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim

Each page includes Hebrew videos, Hebrew lyrics with
English translations and transliterations.

Listening to and understanding Hebrew songs 
is a fun way to improve your Hebrew.
There are now 51 Hebrew song pages on the site.

Enjoy!

Please share. Thank You!

Have a good night,
Jacob Richman
