Reines Seen as Father of 'Modern Sermon
The first full-length study of
Rabbi Isaac Jacob Reines (1839-
1915) stresses the unique achieve-
ments of the controversial Lithua-
nian leader who is considered the
"father of the modern sermon,
and who was a founder of the Miz-
rachi movement."
"Rabbi Isaac Jacob Reines: His
Life and Thought" by Dr. Joseph
Wanefsky, a blind scholar whose
study of Reines earned him a doc-
torate from Yeshiva University's
Bernard Revel Graduate School in
1969, was published by Philosoph-
ical Library. The study establishes
Rabbi Reines as a revolutionary
thinker "who was aware of the
entire panorama of Judaism, who
understood his past and had a
concern for the future."
Dr. Wanefsky recounts Reines'
struggle to introduce secular
studies into the syllabus of ye-
shiva education to counteract
the threat of assimilation. Reines
proposed at the 1882 rabbinical
convention in St. Petersburg that
Jewish students should have a
knowledge of Russian and a gen-
eral background of the principal
sciences. However, Dr. Wanef-
sky relates, "The older rabbinic
leaders ignored Reines' plea and
were content to maintain the sta-
tus quo, namely, a continued
program of complete isolation
from all secular influences which
may deter the student from his
religious studies."
His controversial views destined
him for isolation among his col-
leagues. But Reines was not dis-
Orthodox Pulpit Message
Warns: Violation of Torah
Law to Bring Tragedy
NEW YORK—A call to American
and world Jewry on the issue of
Jewish survival, signed by 14 na-
tional Orthodox organizations was
read on Yom Kippur from the pul-
pits of synagogue throughout the
United States and Canada.
The occasion of the holiest day
was chosen not only to reach a
maximum audience, but also to
highlight the significance of the
statement, which asserts "the
validity of Torah law as the sole
basis" for marriage, conversion,
divorce and adoption, and defining
Jewish identity.
It warns that "its breath must
result in the disintegration and
disunity of our people" and that
"its disregard will lead to the
tragedy of one group of Jews
not being able to marry mem=
bers of another Jewish group be-
cause its Jewish status is in
question."
The signatories call upon the
authorities of the government of
Israel "to recognize their respon-
sibility for the preservation and
the oneness of the Jewish people
everywhere, especially whenever
they deal with matters affecting
the very essence of Jewish people-
hood."
couraged. He was able to put his
principles into practice when he
became head of the Lida commu-
nity in 1884. "The Yeshiva of Lida
which he led, according to Dr.
Wanefsky, "was perhaps a fore-
runner of Yeshiva University and
was the archetype of synthesizing
the secular with the sacred. His
bold and dynamic plan was far re-
moved from the immediate range
of communal planning because the
Jews in the European community
were not keen about his new ven-
ture. However, his ideas have been
transplanted upon new soil in
America to meet its diasporic con-
ditions."
The book describes Reines' in-
volvement in the incipient Zionist
movement. His father was an early
Pioneer who settled in Israel in
the early 19th Century. Because a/
various misfortunes, especially the
loss of family and business due
to an earthquake, he left the
country. Dr. Wanefsky tells how
Reines debated with himself
whether resettlement in Israel was
compatible with Orthodox belief.
Convinced that Zionism was nec
essary for "assuring the welfare
and safekeeping of the Jewish peo-
ple," Reines helped establish the
religious Mizrachi group as a see-
arate wing in the Zionist move-
ment. He became Mizrachi presi-
dent in 1901.
His Zionist views, like his ed-
ucational outlook, were not fav-
orably received by leading rab-
bis who attempted to dissuade
him from associating and partic-
ipating in the Zionist movement.
Dr. Wanefsky relates how the
renowned sage, the Chofetz
Chaim, nleaded with him for two
hours. The Chofetz Chaim told
Reines "that if he would remove
his seal of approval from the
movement then the Jewish world
would acknowledge him as a
supreme leader in all areas that
require the authority of Jewish
leadership." Reines refused to
disassociate himself, and said
that many younger rabbis would
Join the movement if it were not
for fear of social pressures of
the older sages.
Reines is credited with being the
father of the modern sermon. He
advanced a new method in deliver-
ing and exaositing homiletical ser-
mons. Unlike other preachers, Dr.
Wanefsky writes, Reines was con-
cerned with the issues of his day.
"He was not concerned with petty
details or lofty ideas. With logic
and warmth he cultivated a unique

style in an effort to inspire and
motivate his listeners with the
lanes prevalent in his time."
Dr. Wanefsky has not been able
to read a book by himself since
his early teens. However, he has
never stopped reading. Motivated
by a craving desire for knowledge
and aided by his mother, Mrs. Etta
Wanefsky, and a devoted group of
individuals who read to him, Dr.
Wanefsky has devoured hundreds
of books in all areas of Jewish
knowledge.
Before enrolling at Yeshiva Uni-
versity, he attended the Long Is-
land Rehabilitation Center for Blind
Popple, where he learned to type.
He received a B.A. from Yeshiva
College in 1982, the same year in
which he was Ordained by the uni-
versity-affiliated Rabbi Isaac El-
chanan Theological Seminary and
was awarded an M.A. by Bernard
Revel Graduate School in 1965. His
father, Rabbi David Wanefsky,
was a Talmudic scholar and writ-
er, who was graduated from the
seminary in 1932. He died after
his son's graduation.
