Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xix, [1], 408 p. Foreword by Nima Adlerblum. This is number 8 of The Jewish Library. From Wikipedia: "Rabbi Leo Jung (June 20, 1892, Uherský Brod, Moravia December 19, 1987, New York, United States) was one of the major architects of American Orthodox Judaism. His father, Rabbi Dr. Meir Tzvi Jung held rabbinic post in Mannheim then was elected Rabbi of Uhersky Brod in 1890. Rabbi Meir Tzvi Jung believed in the Torah im Derekh Eretz (Torah combined with worldly activity) philosophy of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. Later he moved to London. Rabbi Leo Jung's father founded schools in Uherský Brod, Cracow and London, where both religious and secular learning took place. In London, Rabbi Meir Tzvi Jung was a leader in Agudat Israel, and the Sinai Movement. The Sinai Movement was a movement in which young men would meet for the purpose of studying Talmud and socializing. At his death in June 1921, Rabbi Jung was the Chief Minister of the Federation of Synagogues in England, an appointment he had held since 1912. In 1916, Rabbi Leo Jung became the director general of the Sinai League of which his father was founder and president. Rabbi Meir Tsevi founded the journal, "The Sinaist", based on the Torah im derekh eretz philosophy. Leo Jung became the editor of this bi-monthly journal, which he claimed expressed his father s philosophy, "study is great, for it leads to (right) action". Rabbi Jung, like his father, received a secular and Talmudic education. He attended Cambridge University and he received his doctorate from the University of London. In 1910 he attended the Yeshiva of Eperies and in 1911 he went to study in Galanta, Hungary. He also attended the Hildesheimer Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin. Jung claimed that he received three rabbinic ordinations, from Rabbi Mordechai Zevi Schwartz, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook and Rabbi David Zvi Hoffmann of Berlin. He regarded his semikhah from David Hoffman as, "his last and most cherished semikhah" Rabbi Jung s first American pulpit was in Cleveland, where he arrived on January, 1920. In Cleveland he was an, "utterly novel phenomenon, the first English speaking Orthodox rabbi, bearded and a Ph.D." After serving in Cleveland, at the Knesset Israel congregation, for two and a half years, he was asked, in 1922, to be the rabbi at the prestigious Jewish Center Synagogue, in New York, together with his wife, Irma Rothschild. Rabbi Jung hired as principal of the newly founded afternoon school Dr. Joseph Kaminetsky, who became later became executive director of Manhattan Day School, which evolved from The Jewish Center Day School. Dr. Kaminetsky later became the director of the Torah Umesorah school system. Since Orthodoxy was not well represented in the Jewish-American publication world, Jung's Jewish Library Series and his other works played an important role in creating books for and about Orthodox Judaism. The multi-volumed series helped promote traditional rabbinic biography and literature among the American public. In 1926, Rabbi Jung, as head of the editorial board of the Jewish Forum, recommended that all Jewish organizations have Sabbath observance as a fundamental purpose. The UOJCA instituted a Sabbath Committee, which included Rabbi Jung. The committee's goal was to educate, to rally loyalty to the Sabbath, and facilitate employment opportunities for Sabbath observers. Rabbi Jung was vice president of the UOJCA, from 1926 to 1934. In 1926 Jung organized The Rabbinic Council of the UOJCA and was its president for the following eight years. The Rabbinic Council was to assume the rabbinic functions of the Union, including kashrut supervision; the "OU" became its organizational symbol and trademark. As vice president of the UOJCA and organizer of its Rabbinic Council, Jung and others began a crusade to fight the corrupt "kashrut jungle" and replace it with a reliable system under the OU imprint. He built new mikvehs, "hygienically and aesthetically on the hei.
