"Miracle of miracles, the Jewish people live on! And how did the eternal people survive Russian pogroms, secular enlightenment (kaskalah), the Holocaust, two World Wars and--gravest of all--American assimilation? With the guidance of exceptional rabbis--that's how. The essential biographies of twenty-two major rabbinical figures are assembled here in THE GREATEST RABBIS HALL OF FAME, a Who's Who of Outstanding American Rabbis.
In the first half of this century, a talented and charismatic leadership restructured the American Jewish community to meet the demands and opportunities of a pluralistic, secular society. The work of this generation of titans still guides the current modes of American Jewish life. The last of these giants was the influential reformer Stephen S. Wise--a progenitor of American Zionism, creator of the American and World Jewish Congresses, and founder of the Jewish Institute of Religion. As rabbi of the Free Synagogue, Wise led the fight for a living Judaism responsive to social problems. This engrossing study is more than a chronicle of an ethnic community's adjustment to a host society. Thanks to Melvin Urofsky's painstaking research, it succeeds in revealing the true story behind a legendary and controversial figure in American Jewish history.
