This paper examines the history of Jewish Hebrew studies in the Czech lands in the pre-Enlightenment and Enlightenment periods, focusing on the figure of Avigdor ben Simha of Glogau, a grammarian of the early Haskala. Avigdor was a friend and follower of Moshe Mendelssohn, whose translation and commentary of the Torah he published in Prague. He also wrote his own grammar, "Davar tov", and a commentary on "Marpe lashon" by Moshe ibn Haviv. The paper analyzes Avigdor's approach to Hebrew grammar, biblical exegesis, and translation, as well as his poetic works. The paper also discusses the influence of Mendelssohn's ideas on the development of grammatical studies and literal translations of biblical texts in the Czech lands.

The document discusses the Jewish Museum in Prague and its history, particularly focusing on the period from 1906 to 1942. It details the challenges faced during the urban renewal of Prague’s Jewish Quarter and the consequent threat to its synagogues. The narrative highlights the efforts of Dr. Salomon Hugo Lieben and others in founding the museum to preserve Jewish cultural artifacts that could not be accommodated in the new synagogue. The museum’s establishment on July 1, 1903, is marked as a significant event, and the document outlines the museum’s objectives, including the collection and preservation of Jewish religious and cultural items, particularly from Prague and Bohemia. It also describes the museum’s early years, its struggle for financial support, and the eventual success in securing a permanent location. The museum’s focus on regional artifacts is emphasized as a unique aspect of its collection policy. The document also touches upon the museum’s organizational structure, membership, and financial strategies.

The major part of the collections of the present-day State Jewish Museum in Prague dates from the period of Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia, when — in connection with the so-called final solution of the Jewish problem — the objects from Jewish households and synagogues from the whole Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were directed to Prague. The collection of these materials linked up directly with the concentration and deportation of the Jews from the individual settlements and preceded the deportations which ended in the gas chambers of Oswiecim (Auschwitz). Heaps of synagogue curtains, scores of Torah finials, dozens of family portraits and an enormous number of other materials became the witnesses of the extinction of 136 Jewish religious communities) and their members.

The article discusses three Hebrew prints of Gersonide origin found in a collection of Venetian prints from the 16th and 17th centuries, which were not included in a previously published catalog. These prints are characterized by their ethical and apologetic nature, with one being the first Hebrew edition of the ethical work "Sefer ha-middot" by an unknown author, another being a defense of Judaism by Moshe ben Nahman, and the third containing sermons on morality by Jona Gerondi. The prints showcase the typographical and decorative styles of the Gerson printing family, particularly the work of Mordechai Zemah and his descendants, reflecting the evolution of book design and ornamentation during that period.
