This volume presents his life and his views on the reform of Judaism in the context of the changes and developments of Judaism in his lifetime. It covers his early life and his career in Europe as a preacher and rabbi in Warsaw, Mannheim, and Worms, and then discusses his activities in the United States, where he served as rabbi of Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, as well as his work on his famous dictionary. Jastrow was deeply involved in the important religious and scholarly initiatives of American Jewry: he took part in the emergence of Reform as well as Conservative Judaism, being involved in major controversies and polemics regarding them, and had a great impact on the creation of Jewish scholarship and Judaic studies in America.Jews of PolandJudaismHistory19th centuryJudaismHistory296Galas Michał1052335Tilles Anna1467145MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789136103321Rabbi Marcus Jastrow and his vision for the reform of Judaism3677743UNINA
