Torah Nevi’im U’Kethuvim - LeChayalei Tzava Haganah LeYisrael.

<<Autographed Presentation Copy of the Koren Tanach from Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren to General Uzi Narkiss, liberator of Jerusalem.>> This unique limited edition copy of the Jerusalem Koren Bible was presented by Brigadier General Rabbi Goren, then Chief Rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to General Uzi Narkiss, who commanded the troops that liberated the Western Wall during the Six Day War. The presentation occurred earlier, on 30th Shevat 5626 (Sunday, February 20th, 1966). The inscription reads: A gift to the Chief of the Central Command General Uzi Narkiss… “and you shall make known to them the way they shall go and the deeds they must do.” (Exodus 18:20). The inscription seems almost prophetic, especially in light of what was regarded by many to be the miraculous victories that the State of Israel experienced over the course of six short days of war, culminating in the liberation of the Western Wall led by General Narkiss, closely followed by an ecstatic Rabbi Goren clutching Torah Scroll and Shofar. The Jerusalem Koren Bible, was the first complete Tanach printed in Eretz Israel. A special edition with the seal of the IDF was isued in a limited edition of one-hundred copies. Prior to binding, a quire with an introduction from Rabbi Goren was added, with several blank pages following. This Koren Bible edition contains a number of distinctive features, most noticeably a new Hebrew font of considerable beauty, in which the vowels and accents (Te’amim) are, for the first time, accurately given. The presidents of the State of Israel are sworn in on this Bible.
