Homiletics for Herzl's Memorial Day – Rabbi Aharon Mendel HaCohen – Manuscripts, 1908/1918

"Le-Yom ha-yast [yahrzeit] Dr. Herzl [1908]" / "Drush le-yahrzeit shel Dr. Herzl [1918]". Two homiletics handwritten by Rabbi Aharon Mendel HaCohen (1866-1927). A native of Tiberias, a Torah genius and an author, HaCohen served as the Ashkenazi Rabbi of Cairo for 30 years. He is especially renown for his expansive and outreaching actions for the renewal of "semicha". In this framework he organized the Cracow Gathering in 1903, founded Agudat HaRabbanim, and after World War I founded the Knesset Yisrael Association and acted for the establishment of the Central Beit Din (similar to the Sanhedrin) in Jerusalem.
