"We have stony hearts toward the living and we erect monuments of stone to the dead. A living memorial is the only kind worthy of living beings, whether they are with us here or have gone Beyond. Better name after him the street in or near which he lived than to erect some obstruction in stone, for the one comes into our life and the other we pass by carelessly. But better set to work the noble ideas which he had and do, as far as we may and can, that which he longed to do. Thus he remains in our lives, the living factor that he was, and the memory of him does not become part of a tombstone or a static statue." -- William Z. Spiegelman.

This is Israel (undated, circa 1948)


Front cover.


Title page.


Page 3, "Introductory note."


Page 7, first page of "Jewish Settlements in Israel."
(Note: we have chosen not to reproduce the other 57 pages of this list of settlements, on the grounds that the dry, encyclopedia-like entries become tedious after a while.)


Page 66, "Glossary."
