The only examination of the history of American Jewish preaching, from the settlement of the first Jews in the United States until 1970
Biblical passages indicate that as early as the return to Palestine from Babylon, Hebrew was no longer understood by the masses, which necessitated the use of vernacular translations to explain the Torah. Thus, the preaching tradition was well established in Judaism during the biblical period, predating Christianity, and long before the New World was explored and colonized. However, for reasons that have never been fully explained, sermons largely disappeared from European Jewish services in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
