1st separate edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 11 pages, 23 cm. In English. Rabbi Maximilian Heller (1860-1929) was a prominent figure in the United States' Southern Jewish communities. He was a Reform rabbi and took on the main causes of his day: racism and Jewish emancipation in eastern Europe, nationalism and nativism, immigration and assimilation. " He emigrated from Germany and was one of the first U. S. -trained rabbis. Rabbi Heller served for 40 years as spiritual leader of a Reform Jewish congregation in New Orleans--at that time the largest city in the South. "Far more than a congregational rabbi, Heller assumed an activist role in local affairs, Reform Judaism, and the Zionist movement, maintaining positions often unpopular with his neighbors, congregants, and colleagues. His deep concern for social justice led him to question two basic assumptions that characterized his larger social milieu--segregation and Jewish assimilation" (Malone, 1997) . Reprinted from the C.
