The volume is the only one that was printed despite it being labelled as volume b. Editor and publisher: Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Rabinowitz, the son of Rabbi Eliyahu Akiva Rabinowitz. Se'adya Publication.
The first part of the book is called 'Ateret Yekutiel', in memory of Rabbi Yekutiel Weiss.
Selected anthology on the Jewish holidays, Judaism and Jewish thought by a variety of writers.
From the publisher's introduction: "Precisely in these days of horrors, when we sip from the cup of poison until its last drop, precisely at this hour, when we see the destruction and ruin of most of our nation and we have almost lost hope … precisely at this hour and despite our terrible situation, Se'adya Publication happily presents to the Jewish audience this anthology, out of faith in the victory of prophetic justice".
At the end of the book, there is a special chapter on the Holocaust and Kiddush Ha'Shem, dedicated to the memory of the 93 Beit Ya'akov girls who out an end to their lives rather than be defiled by the Nazis. At the head of the chapter there is a touching poem about the last Jew following his forefather's footsteps in dying with a look to Heaven, singing Hallelujah and asking his God to be purified. Then appears the moving last will of Chaya Feldman of Krakow, who tells about the last minutes of the 93 girls and writes: "we are here 93 girls aged 14-22, all teachers and educators at Beit Ya'akov… the young girls are most frightened. But I comfort them, telling them that soon we shall be together with Sara, our mother [she means Mrs. Sara Shnirer, the founder of Beit Ya'akov] who used to say "it is good to live for our Father in Heaven; yet it is also good to die for Him"… the Germans do not know that the bath they had given us was a ritual immersion before our death. We have all prepared poison. When the soldiers come, we shall drink it… we have only one request: say Kaddish for 93 girls of Israel. Soon we shall be with our mother Sara. Warsaw, Rosh Chodesh Elul, 1942". Later in the anthology, there are songs (with musical notes) and essays dedicated to the memory of the girls.
On the front page there is a stamp: "From the bookcase of Minister Chaim Moshe Shapira".
