2 comments about Nine American Jewish Thinkers.
- Milton Konvitz was for many years one of the most respected, and well- known teachers at Cornell University. His teaching emphasized the values of social justice and respect for Law. His deep connection with the Jewish tradition and his great love for American society combined to make him an advocate for what is best in both traditions. In these essays he writes of philosophers, and jurists, who contributed much to American life in promoting social justice. This is an exemplary work by an exemplary teacher of great moral integrity.
- Divided into three parts reflecting Milton Konvitz's range of intellectual interests, Nine American Jewish Thinkers comprises nine essays offering concise intellectual biographies of three philosophers (Horace M. Kallen, Morris Raphael Cohen, Sidney Hook), three American Court Justices (Louis D. Brandeis, Benjamin N. Cardozo, Felix Frankfurter), and three rabbis (Leo Jung, Robert Goris, Jacob Agus). The author brings a special value to his commentaries in that he enjoyed a friendship with six of the persons who lives and work he examines. Nine American Jewish Thinkers is so well written and presented that it can be readily recommended to both scholarship and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Judaic studies, biographies, and intellectual life.

1 comments about Elie Wiesel: A Voice for Humanity.
- As I wrote the index for this book, I'd find
that I was wrapped up in the story so much that I
was crying; I'd have to go back to re-read sections
so I could index it. It's very disturbing, but
very well written. I highly recommend it for
all people, so we'll learn not to repeat these
atrocities.
