Book Description
Abraham L. Freedman (1904-1971) was heavily involved in public, charitable, and legal affairs in Philadelphia for 30 years in the mid twentieth century-as a drafter of the City's Home Rule Charter, as City Solicitor in the reform administration of Joseph S. Clark, Jr., as the first President of the Federation of Jewish Agencies, as a leading Federal judge, and in other roles. This book consists of extracts from his diary describing the events and personalities he encountered in those activities. As a thoughtful, idealist, intellectual, and yet at the same time practical person, the diary offers unusual insights and reflections on politics and law.

Book Description
In a city with a long history of high social barriers and forbidding aristocratic preserves, Philadelphia Jews, in the last half of the twentieth century, became a force to reckon with in the cultural, political and economic life of the region. From the poor neighborhoods of original immigrant settlement, in South and West Philadelphia, Jews have made, as Murray Friedman recounts, the move from "outsiders" to "insiders" in Philadelphia life. Essays by a diverse range of contributors tell the story of this transformation in many spheres of life, both in and out of the Jewish community: from sports, politics, political alliances with other minority groups, to the significant debate between Zionists and anti-Zionists during and immediately after the war.In this new edition, Friedman takes the history of Philadelphia Jewish life to the close of the twentieth century, and looks back on how Jews have shaped-and have been shaped by-Philadelphia and its long immigrant history. Author note: Murray Friedman is Middle-Atlantic Regional Director of the American Jewish Committee and Director of the Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History at Temple University. He is the author or editor of numerous books, including, most recently (with Albert D. Chernin), A Second Exodus: The American Movement to Free Soviet Jews.
