Ch. L. Charifai, of blessed memory.

From the Land of Israel the sad news has been received that the well-known Hebrew-Yiddish writer L. Charifai has died there at the age of 45.

The deceased became famous through his Palestine feuilletons and correspondence. In light language and subtle form he depicted the landscape of the Land of Israel and the life of the builders who make the greatest efforts in raising up the ruins of our homeland.

Charifai's feuilletons were published, besides in the Palestine press, in almost the whole Zionist provincial press in Poland. In the "Pruzhaner Shtime" Charifai's feuilletons and correspondence from the Land of Israel were printed almost constantly. Honour to his memory!
