The Essential Hayim Greenberg
The Essential Hayim Greenberg is a landmark collection of essays by Hayim Greenberg, a founder of the Labor Zionist movement in America and a foremost writer, thinker, and activist in the fields of twentieth-century Jewish culture and politics.
Hayim Greenberg Anthology
Hayim Greenberg was more than just a leader of the American Labor Zionist movement. He was a "Zionist theoretician, socialist thinker, writer on ethical and philosophical problems, and political spokesman" who influenced widely spread circles within the Jewish and non-Jewish world. "He was a paradoxical, ambivalent figure ... many-faceted, sensitive.... He had that rare combination of poetry and lucidity which makes a great essayist and a great teacher." In this collection some of his best essays offer his thoughts on religion and ethics, Jews and Zionism, socialism and communism, and the broader aspects of life in general. Penetrating, lucid, profound, they were written originally in different languages, some in English, which was the last of many languages Hayim Greenberg mastered. The depth and range of these essays makes this collection a significant contribution to the discussion of the Jewish condition as part of the human condition.

A Bibliography of Jewish Education in the United States

The Other New York Jewish Intellectuals
Irving Howe. Saul Bellow. Lionel Trilling. These are names that immediately come to mind when one thinks of the New York Jewish intellectuals of the late thirties and forties. And yet the New York Jewish intellectual community was far larger and more diverse than is commonly thought. In The Other New York Jewish Intellectuals we find a group of thinkers who may not have had widespread celebrity status but who fostered a real sense of community within the Jewish world in these troubled times. What unified these men and women was their commitment and allegiance to the Jewish people. Here we find Hayim Greenberg, Henry Hurwitz, Marie Syrkin, Maurice Samuel, Ben Halperin, Trude Weiss-Rosmarin, Morris Raphael Cohen, Ludwig Lewisohn, Milton Steinberg, Will Herberg, A. M. Klein, and Mordecai Kaplan, and many others. Divided into 3 sections--Opinion Makers, Men of Letters, and Spiritual Leaders--the book will be of particular interest to students and others interested in Jewish studies, American intellectual history, as well as history of the 30s and 40s.

Marie Syrkin
Marie Syrkin's life spanned ninety years of the twentieth century, 1899-1989. As a polemical journalist, socialist Zionist, poet, educator, literary critic, translator, and idiosyncratic feminist, she was eyewitness to and reporter on most of the major events in America, Israel, and Europe. Beautiful as well as brilliant, she had a rich personal life as lover, wife, mother, and friend. During her lifetime Syrkin's name was widely recognized in the world of Jewish life and letters. Yet, inevitably, since her death, recognition of her name is no longer quite so immediate. Carole S. Kessner's intention is to restore for a new generation the singular legacy of Syrkin's life. Syrkin was born in S...
The Emergence of American Zionism
The images of Zionist pioneers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries--hard working, brawny, and living off the land--sprang from the ascendent socialist Zionist movement in Palestine known as "Labor Zionism." The building of the Yishuv, a new Jewish society in Palestine, was accompanied by the rapid growth of Zionism worldwide. How did Zionism take shape in the United States? How did Labor Zionism and the Yishuv influence American Jews? Zionism and Labor Zionism had a much more substantial impact on the American Jewish scene than has been recognized. Drawing on meticulous research, Mark A. Raider describes Labor Zionism's dramatic transformation in the American context from a ...
