University of Jerusalem was the first university established in Israel. The
Nazi persecution of Jews in Germany and their exclusion from institutions of
higher learning gave fresh importance to the Hebrew University. It could take
its part in the battle for academic freedom, and be a principal place in which
exiled scholars and scientists could find a haven. Hebrew remained the language
of instruction, and was rapidly adapted to the needs of modern learning and
science. The university was a pioneer in establishing contacts with Palestinian
scholars as well as researchers from Arab countries even before the political
movement towards peace began in the early 1990s. ” (EJ) SUBJECT(S) : Hebrew

STUDIES IN JEWISH LITERATURE, ISSUED IN HONOR OF PROFESSOR KAUFMANN KOHLER,
PH.D., PRESIDENT HEBREW UNION COLLEGE, CINCINNATI, OHIO, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS
SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY, MAY THE TENTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN.. Berlin, G.
Reimer,, 1913. . Paper wrappers, large 8vo. , 301 pages. In German and English.
Beautifully printed frontis piece portrait of Kohler. Kohler (1843–1926) , was
a “U. S. Reform rabbi and president of Hebrew Union College. Kaufmann Kohler
was born in Fuerth, Bavaria, long known as a center of rabbinic learning, and
was himself descended from rabbinic stock. He pursued rabbinical studies from
an early age and in 1862 entered the gymnasium at Frankfurt. While in that city
he came under the influence of Samson Raphael Hirsch , champion of
Neo-Orthodoxy, and, though later diverging sharply from his viewpoint, never
ceased to pay tribute to his influence. Kohler pursued his university studies
at Berlin and Erlangen, receiving a doctorate in 1867. His university studies
had shattered Kohler's Orthodoxy and his doctoral thesis, Der Segen Jacobs
(1867) , took such a radical viewpoint that no rabbinic position was open to
him. For a time he continued his studies at Leipzig with a view to entering the
academic world, but, warmly recommended by the German Reform leader Abraham
Geiger , Kohler accepted the office of rabbi of Congregation Beth El, Detroit
(1869). In 1871 he moved to Sinai Congregation, Chicago (where he introduced
Sunday services in 1874) , and in 1879 he succeeded his father-in-law, David
Einhorn , at Temple Beth El, New York. Kohler emerged as a national champion of
Reform Judaism in 1885 when, replying to attacks by Alexander Kohut , he
published a series of sermons entitled Backward or Forward (1885). The outcome
was his convening of the Pittsburgh Conference of Reform Rabbis and its
adoption of a radical program on the basis of Kohler's draft. In 1903 Kohler
was appointed president of Hebrew Union College and set about immediately to
improve the curriculum and to bring fresh talent to the faculty. His dealings
were not always diplomatic, and he was soon involved in a clash with several
members of the faculty on the subject of Zionism, which he opposed. He became
the chief spokesman for classical Reform. His major theological work was Jewish
Theology Systematically and Historically Considered (1918; repub. 1968) , which
traces Jewish thought from the perspective of 19th-century Reform Judaism. He
revamped the curriculum, introduced biblical criticism and reduced the time
spent on Talmud, but also held daily services and taught reverence through
study. Under his presidency the College moved to a new, spacious setting. Upon
his retirement, Kohler received the title of president emeritus (1921) and
returned to New York. ” (Temkin & Berenbaum, EJ, 2007) Contents:
