8vo; 1st edition. Original printed wrappers, 8vo. 35 pages. Solomon Schechter (1847-1915) was the primary architect of the movement of Conservative Judaism in America. Arriving in New York after an illustrious career at Cambridge University, his presidency revitalized the Jewish Theological Seminary especially for the quality of the scholars he recruited to serve on the Seminary’s faculty. Over a thousand people attended Schechter’s installation ceremony and his inaugural address made a great impression. Invoking Abraham Lincoln on the one hand and Maimonides and other great Jewish sages on the other, he called for the Seminary to foster an expression of American Judaism that was both truly American and truly Jewish.
