The book, distributed by the Bloch Publishing Co., and the Hebrew Publishing Co., carries an introduction by the Rabbi in which he urges that Tisha B’Av be, to the modern generation, a day in which the conscience of the world be aroused to rectify the injustices inflicted upon our people since the Destruction of Jerusalem, and that there be a greater display of interest toward the development of the Jewish National Home by the American Jews.
