Issue, year 1, booklet 8, printed three weeks before the outbreak of the riots of 1929.

This periodical was issued for less than one year. In the wake of the riots of 1929 and the critique of Itamar ben Avi in the "Doar HaYom", the British government closed it down. The editor, Eliyahu Blank transferred his newspaper and its license to "Doar HaYom", and stopped issuing his periodical.
Especially rare. According to the National Library, they do not have this issue.
