Happy 5777

Time flies… it feels like just yesterday it was 5710, barely a year after the founding of the State of Israel.

Ok, not really. But it will after you see these five Rosh Hashanah greeting cards (cartisei bracha)  from 1949. My mom found them in a box that belonged to my great-grandfather zeide Elias Zack. For the most part, these are well known photos, but it’s still cool to see in this format.

kartis-bracha-1949-1Let’s see if I can track down who these Yaffa, Nili, and Baruch Sandomirsky were.

Here is a download link for all five as separate PDFs scanned at insanely high 600 dpi, in case you want them. If you do download, be nice and leave a comment? kartisei-bracha-1949
