Professor Temkin's biography captures the vigour of Wise's personality and the politics and concerns of Jewish life and leadership in America at that time. It is a lively portrait of a rabbi who was a pivotal figure in the naturalization of Jews and Judaism in the New World. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aRabbis$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aReform Judaism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aRabbis 615 0$aReform Judaism$xHistory 676 $a296.8341092 700 $aTemkin$b Sefton D.$0229281 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467007803321 996 $aCreating American Reform Judaism$92265228 997 $aUNINA
