We found the oldest Hebrew book printed in a Jewish publishing house in Warsaw
Interesting discoveries happen in every library and the JHI library is no exception. This time I came across a work Rishmey Sheela, published in Warsaw, by Israel Moshe ben Arie Leib, a rabbi in Zabłudów. The Hebrew year [5]571, given in the chronogram, is the year 1811 in the Gregorian calendar. The volume belonging to the collection of the Jewish Historical Institute is the oldest book printed in Hebrew in Warsaw by a Jewish printer.
