A student at the Yad Eliyahu School Sima Canaan approached two of the great writers Uri Zvi Greenberg and David Shimoni with a request that they sign their signature for her. The two gave her a response letter, each in her unique style. Greenberg - in a square and stylized handwriting and his signature, "Here is a blessing for your blessing and the signature of my name," and David Shimoni: "A respectable young lady! You asked me to sign for your album, it is in front of you with all the blessings' and his signature.

Uri Zvi Greenberg [1886-1981] One of the greatest expressionist poets in Hebrew poetry of all time, a descendant of the Admor Rabbi Uri of Strelisk ("The Seraph"), named after him, winner of the Israel Prize for Beautiful Literature (1957) twice.

David Shimoni [Shimonowitz, 1891-1956] Poet, author and translator, one of the first known poets in the community. Winner of the Bialik Prize for Literature in 1936 and 1949, the Oshiskin Prize in 1945, and in 1954 he was awarded the Israel Prize for Fine Literature.

Both letters are affixed to a page of her notebook. Very fine condition.
