Society for Jewish Study

Professor MARK SAPERSTEIN, Principal Leo Beck College, will discuss his recently published book

‘Jewish Preaching in Times of War 1800-2001’

Wartime sermons offer a window on how Jews perceive themselves in relation to the majority society and how Jewish and national values are reconciled when the fate of a nation is at stake. They also reveal a great deal about how rabbis guide their communities through the challenges of their times. The sermons reproduced here were delivered by rabbis from across the Jewish spectrum, and each is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction and detailed notes Professor Saperstein is widely recognized as the leading authority on the history of the Jewish sermon in medieval and modern times.
