  • An amazing collection of Rare Talmuds! | Samuel Marks

    An amazing collection of Rare Talmuds! | Samuel Marks
    2026/04/19
    A 26-year-old collector opens his personal library to reveal the dramatic, human stories hidden inside antique Jewish Talmuds.


    In this video, Samuel Marks takes us through his personal collection of Talmuds from different eras, using each volume to tell a larger story about how the Talmud was printed, censored, altered, and preserved under extraordinary historical pressure. Samuel is a self-taught collector whose engagement with Jewish texts grew out of immersive learning in Hasidic spaces, particularly within the Satmar community in Williamsburg.

    Raised in a secular Jewish family in Boston, Samuel later reconnected deeply with Jewish learning and history. He is currently a student at the University of Michigan Law School and is not a professional academic, historian, or dealer. His knowledge comes from close study of primary texts, printing history, and the material culture of postwar Hasidic life in America.

    This Talmud tour explores not only rare editions, but the human, political, and emotional forces that shaped them. Among the stories discussed:


    • How expensive and technically complex it once was to print the Talmud, including the challenges of typesetting its dense, layered layout
    • How Jewish owners signed their Talmuds, turning them into personal historical documents
    • The dramatic saga of Christian censorship, which led to missing passages, partially removed pages, and forced insertions of Christian propaganda
    • Copyright disputes that shaped competing editions and caused the text to evolve differently across printings
    • The forgery of the so-called lost Yerushalmi Talmuds
    • The story of a young girl named Ella who helped typeset a Talmud and signed her name inside, noting that she was looking for a husband
    • Talmuds printed in the Shanghai Ghetto during World War II
    • Talmuds produced in displaced persons camps in Germany immediately after the war, often on discarded or reused paper
    • Which tractates were printed most, when, and why, including postwar demand for laws dealing with loss of a spouse and the special status of Bechorot
    • How printing errors entered the Talmud, were copied forward, and later identified and addressed
    • Why Talmuds ended up so oversized

  • Meet this INCREDIBLE young Jewish collector | Samuel Marks

    Meet this INCREDIBLE young Jewish collector | Samuel Marks
    2026/04/19
    Video link to this conversation: https://youtu.be/qjtlgrLe92w

    Meet Samuel Marks, a young collector whose passion for rare Judaica brings overlooked corners of postwar Hasidic history vividly to life.

    In this first interview, we get to know Samuel through the objects he studies, preserves, and loves. Raised in a secular Jewish family and now a law student, Samuel has built a remarkable collection of Judaica, with a particular focus on postwar Hasidic materials. His collection includes rare texts and objects related to the Satmar Rebbe - Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, postwar intra-Hasidic disputes, broadsides, early American Hasidic publications, prewar Talmuds, and clothing from before the war.

    Because Samuel is currently a student and only has a limited portion of his collection with him, this conversation offers a taste rather than a full survey. Among the items he shares is an old Hasidic hat, which he uses to compare earlier styles with contemporary Hasidic fashion, showing how tradition both holds and shifts over time.

    We also discuss a unique Yiddish book from 1977 that Samuel found inexpensively and later scanned in high resolution to preserve it for posterity. One striking page depicts a television labeled “not allowed,” a small but revealing snapshot of a moment before the internet, when communal anxieties centered on large, stationary media rather than the constant, portable screens of today.

    Through these objects and stories, we come to understand Samuel’s eye as a collector, the joy he takes in rare finds, and the quiet urgency he feels to rescue fragile materials from being forgotten.

    In the following segment, Samuel walks us through his favorite collection of antique Talmuds and explains which editions he deliberately refuses to collect. You can watch that discussion here:
