Product DescriptionI've just published a biography of one of Chicago's best-known rabbis, A Brand Plucked from the Fire: The Life of Rabbi Herman E. Schaalman (Ktav Press, 2013).This biography acknowledges Rabbi Herman E. Schaalman s place in the development of twentieth century Reform Judaism. Born in Munich in 1916, he left Germany in 1935 to study at Hebrew Union College, Reform Judaism s seminary in Cincinnati. Leaving behind the increasingly dangerous situation in Nazi Germany, he went on to become one of the most distinguished rabbis of his generation. Convinced that humankind s future was related to the ability of people to accept and embrace difference, he has devoted his life to promoting interfaith understanding and dialogue. For this work, he has won numerous awards and achieved international recognition.Ordained in 1941, he went on to serve as rabbi in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Eight years later, he moved to Chicago to take on the job of Midwest Regional Director for the Reform movement s synagogue organization. A few years later, he became the senior rabbi of Emanuel Congregation. Through his work in educational, civic, and religious organizations, he became one of the most respected rabbis to serve Chicago s Jewish community.In the 1980s, he formed a warm friendship with Chicago s Archbishop, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. So close was their friendship, that when Bernardin was on his deathbed, he asked Schaalman to participate in his funeral. It was the first time in history that a rabbi spoke at the funeral of a Cardinal.Looking back over a lifetime of service, Schaalman, who is now ninety-seven, says his two most significant achievements are his work in establishing the first youth camp of the Reform movement, and his term as president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.About the AuthorRichard Damashek is a retired college English professor with a long list of publications. During the last eight years, he has conducted more than 100 hours of interviews with Rabbi Schaalman and dozens more with his colleagues, friends and associates. Through his devotion to research, he has located important documents that include Schaalman s first few years as a rabbinic student at Hebrew Union College, his first rabbinic post in Cedar Rapids, his work in establishing the first Reform Jewish summer camp (1951-1952), and other significant documents over the last half century.…
