A Rabbi's Impressions of the Oberammergau Passion Play
Joseph Krauskopf (born January 21, 1858, Ostrowo, Prussia - ?) was a prominent American Rabbi, author, and leader of Reform Judaism. In July, 1872, at the age of fourteen, Krauskopf emigrated to the United States and went to Fall River, Massachusetts, where he found employment as clerk in a tea-store.

"My Visit to Tolstoy": Five Discourses
In this work, Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf talks about his experience in meeting the great Leo Tolstoy and being visibly impacted by his selfless motives.

Tolstoy's infallible fight to procure parity for the labor class and his tireless enthusiasm to rid them of their physical and mental anguish is the subject of most of this small book. The book also provides a quick peek into the thought processes that converted Tolstoy from a libertarian and world-famous author into an avowed reformer.
