Original Vintage Israel Historical Document – “Herut” Newspaper – The Funeral Procession of Ze’ev Jabotinsky in Tel Aviv (1964)

A rare and moving collectible – a complete original issue of the “Herut” daily newspaper (Tel Aviv), with all its pages, from Thursday, July 9, 1964, the very day Ze’ev Jabotinsky was laid to rest at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. The main headline on the front page captures the national moment: “Hundreds of Thousands Bid Farewell to Ze’ev Jabotinsky in Splendor and Honor – Tel Aviv in Blue and White.”

The newspaper is framed.

Seen on the page: the coffins of Ze’ev and Johanna Jabotinsky lying in state under an honor guard; the vast funeral procession through the streets of Tel Aviv, with an IDF honor guard and masses of citizens accompanying the coffin; and the Knesset of Israel standing in silence in his memory (“The Knesset Stood in Silence”). The front page also carries original period advertisements and public notices of the day, an authentic time capsule of Israel in 1964. This document is a premier historical record that conveys the majesty and spirit of the era. It is perfect for collectors, historians, and framing as a display piece with deep cultural and national significance for any office or library.

About Ze’ev Jabotinsky and the Struggle for His Reinterment: One of the most prominent and influential leaders of the Zionist movement, the visionary and founder of Revisionist Zionism, the Betar youth movement, and the Irgun (Etzel). Jabotinsky passed away in August 1940 in the United States and was buried in a New York cemetery. In his famous will, he instructed that his remains be brought to the Land of Israel only by the “order of a Jewish government.”

The path to fulfilling his will was fraught with difficulties: for many years, Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, adamantly refused to approve the transfer of his remains, due to deep historical, political, and ideological rivalry. The public struggle to bring him to Israel lasted for years, and only in 1964, following a change in leadership and Levi Eshkol taking office as Prime Minister, was the long-awaited approval granted. The reinterment of Jabotinsky (along with the remains of his wife, Johanna) at Mount Herzl was a deeply moving historical event that symbolized closure and a significant step toward national reconciliation in Israel.

About “Herut” Newspaper: The daily newspaper of the Herut movement, founded and led by Menachem Begin, published between 1948 and 1965. The newspaper served as the central mouthpiece for the political right and veterans of the Irgun underground during the state’s first decades, providing a major platform for public debate and the dissemination of Revisionist ideology.
