Printed Poster for a Sukkah – Ushpizin, Blessings over the Sukkah and Four Species – Jerusalem – Printed by Yisrael Bak – Unknown, Exceptionally Rare Poster
Printed poster for a sukkah, with Ushpizin service, prayers for entering and leaving the sukkah, blessings over the sukkah and the four species, and many illustrations. Jerusalem: Yisrael Bak, [ca. 1850s].
Printed poster to display in a sukkah. At the top of the poster is printed a prayer for entering the sukkah, with the Ushpizin service below it. At the center of the poster is an illustration of a sukkah, and below it the festival Kiddush, as well as blessings over the sukkah and the four species. The poster is decorated with several illustrations. At the top of the poster appear illustrations of the two tablets and the twelve tribes, the Western Wall and the site of the Temple, and houses in Jerusalem. At the bottom appear illustrations of the tomb of Rachel and the Cave of Machpelah. In the center, a Lamnatzeach menorah and an illustration of the Temple table of showbread appear on opposite sides, with two trees next to each of them, alongside the frame around the poster.
39X32 cm. Fair condition. Stains, including large stains. Folding marks. Tears, including open tears to folding marks and margins of leaf, affecting illustrations and text. The entire leaf is mounted on paper for reinforcement.
Exceptionally rare poster, to the best of our knowledge and research, it is unknown. Not documented by Sh. Halevy (who documented a different Ushpizin poster printed by Yisrael Bak in 1847, no. 37), nor in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, and does not appear in the NLI catalogue.
