KEBUTZAH

THE JEWISH NATIONAL HOME
by Isaac Breuer
Francfort-on-the-Maine: J. Kauffmann
1926

Pg. 37:  The simplest peasant of any Kebutzah, tilling the ground by the
sweat of his brow, appeared to them worthier than the prophet Jeremiah, whose
word re-echoes through the centuries.

Pg. 38:  But the Kebutzah recognized neither God nor the Torah, and the
tender flame was soon crushed out by hard work.

(OED has 1931 for "kibbutz."  The JERUSALEM NEWS, 1919-1920, is in the annex,
and I'll get it on Tuesday and check for this and other terms...I went
through a lot of Jewish National Fund publications without finding an earlier
"kibbutz"--ed.)

   The RHHDAS H-O has a TAD 1913 spelling similar to this, then 1915.  It is
the last line of this book.

Pg. 50:  "Are you _meshuga_ (crazy)?"

Pg. 348:  "Ich gebibble," he chuckled.
