Samaritans' High
Priest Dies at 70
Rabbi Adler's Book
Given Commendation
Rabbi Morris Adler's, "Great
Passages From the Torah," in
two parts, has just been issued by
the National Academt for Adult
Jewish Theolog-
ical Seminary of
America, 3 0 8 0
Broadway, New
York.
These two
volumes appear
in mimeograph-
ed form, and
ttrill be publish-
ed shortly for
the National
Academy for Rabbi Adler
Adult Jewish
Education by Scopus Publishing
Co.
The National Academy has..also
issued another volume, "Pales-
tine in the Life of the Jew," by
Dr. Ira Eisenstein.
Introductions to the three vol-
umes were written by Dr. Israel
Max Goldman, director of the
National Academy for Adult
Jewish Education.
Rabbi Adler's "Great Passages
From the Torah" is highly com-
mended by Rabbi Goldman as a
work that opens up new vistas in
Biblical lore for popular under-
standing. This work, as Rabbi
Adler explains in his foreword,
aims to develop a greater fa-
miliarity with Biblical passages,
seeks to suggest associations with
which our tradition has sur-
rounded these Biblical selections
and aspires through this course
of study to suggest the rich im-
plications for our time to be
found in the Scriptures.
This splendid work is suitable
not only for classroom study but
also for individual reading and
for use by smaller discussion
groups, and its use is encouraged
by this reviewer.
