Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. In Hebrew. 88, (3) pages. 272 x 140 mm. Yoav Haik fled Iraq with his parents in 1951. After the 7 Arab countries, including Iraq, failed in their attempt to destroy the newly formed Jewish state and massacre its Jewish inhabitants, they turned on their Jewish countrymen. So Jews who lived in Arab lands for thousands of years, even before the birth of Islam, suddenly found themselves refugees with only the newly formed Israel as their refuge. Many left spacious houses and property for tent cities in Israel. So Yoav Khalk's journey to Israel was a very common one. Yoav Kaik is a poet, editor, attorney. Top left corner of title page has a very small rubber stamp impression in Hebrew of the former owner, Professor Milton (Michael) Arfa, the distinguished Rabbi, author and professor of Hebrew literature and philosophy. Dr. Arfa taught generations of students at Yeshiva University, Herzliah Hebrew Teachers Institute, Hunter College, HUC-JIR and NYU. As chairman of the Israel Matz Foundation, Dr. Arfa devoted himself to aiding indigent Hebrew writers, and published scholarly works of Hebrew literature and philosophy. He was a gifted teacher, humanitarian, scholar, lover of Zion and above all a modest and quiet doer of good deeds. He died in 2003.
