Collection of Notices, Posters and Various Publications, Safed, 1918-1926, Most Regarding Elections to the Safed City Committee
Large collection of notices, posters and various publications, Safed, 1918-1926, most regarding the elections for the Safed City Committee.
Specifications: Many dozens of historical documents, among them letters with signatures and stamps.
Background: After the British conquered the Land of Israel in 1919, a revival developed throughout Israel to establish city committees to represent the entire Jewish community, which had not previously existed, and a polemic in favor of and opposing the elections began, at the center of which was the question of women's right to vote and to be elected.
Content: Notices from the 'Elections Committee' about the right and obligation to vote and make an impact, a complete voters' registry, lists of candidates from the various parties. Notice from Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook forbidding participation in the elections "until the law sending women to be elected" is cancelled, immediately followed by a denial by the 'Mizrachi', and another poster from the members of the Mizrachi (!) in Safed calling to boycott the elections due to the participation of women. Joint notice from the Ashkenazic and Sephardic Beit Dins forbidding the elections, as well as a notice calling the residents of Safed to "Use all of your influence with wives, daughters and sisters not to support lists with female candidates, because female candidacy a. causes disgrace to the the Safed community and b. offends their husbands, parents etc., and those who permit themselves to take part in the elections despite the spirit of the Ultra Orthodox, should at least only support the lists in which the candidates are male."
In addition, a collection of notices from 1919 to the heads of Arab villages calling for them to give in all weapons and other items which belonged to the Turks to the military government, for which they will be rewarded with 50 grush, in addition, informers will be rewarded and are guaranteed confidentiality and evaders will be punished severely, and even exiled to Egypt. Marriage registration certificates in captured enemy territory and more.
Condition: Very fine.
