A book label of the Kedem bookstore in Tel Aviv, established there after partner Lipa Bronstein of the Berlin store (opened 1921) escaped the Nazis in 1938. The store address, at the corner of Yonah ha-Navi and Allenby streets, displays an abbreviation (str.) for the word Strasse (street, in German), creating Hebrew-German portmanteau words. See Zvi Barsky's article in this issue, "Jewish immigrant booksellers from Germany and Central Europe in Palestine, 1933–1939."
