Book Description
Isaac Mayer Wise (1819-1900) strove for unity among American Jews and for a college to train rabbis to serve them. The establishment of the Hebrew College in 1875 was the crowning achievement of his life. Temkin's account of Wise's life captures the vigor of his personality and the politics and concerns of contemporary Jewish life and leadership in America. Photos.
