Hitherto unpublished manuscripts of Hayim Nachman Bialik, the greatest of the modern Hebrew poets, were presented to the State of Israel today by Shimon Burishkin, a Wilmington resident who, as a boy, worked in Bialik’s print shop in Russia and later in Palestine.

Israel’s Consul General in Los Angeles, Mordechai Shalev, accepted the manu-scripts on behalf of his government. The unpublished manuscripts, which were in Mr. Burishkin’s possession for 40 years, will be placed in the Beth Bialik Museum in Tel Aviv.
