Two years later, the printery was destroyed and rebuilt, only to be destroyed again in the earthquake of 1837 that destroyed most of the city. Subsequently, Rabbi Yisroel Bak moved to Jerusalem and in 1841, established its first Hebrew printery, with the help of Sir Moses Montefiore, who donated the printing press that was known as Masset Moshe Veyehudit (the gift of Moses and Judith).
