The consummate gadfly, he shined a bright light on the ills of American society and also on those of American Judaism in the mid-20th century, which he saw as stultifying, airless, soulless, moribund. He was an outlier on one crisis we face today: how to make Judaism not only appealing but actually indispensable for Jews of future generations. Text throughout in Hebrew, with an additional title page in English and a bilingual index of plates at the front in Hebrew and English. He was a Jew who had suffered and seen too much suffering, and who, unlike the rest of us, was capable of vision on a greater scale, the prophetic scale.

Octavo, tan cloth with gold lettering fraying near the head of the spine, frontispiece photo, 247 pp.
