| Summary: | The High Holidays, 1943. In Chicago and Copenhagen, San Francisco and Nove Mesto, Detroit and Ra’anana, the Bronx and Brooklyn, rabbis prepared their sermons. They understood that during the previous two years three million European Jews had been murdered, and that millions more stood in imminent danger. What words of consolation, lamentation, or exhortation could they utter?, Agony in the Pulpit provides answers. In an impressive feat of sleuthing, Marc Saperstein, a professor at Leo Baeck College, London, found and authenticated hundreds of sermons delivered by one hundred and thirty-six rabbis. Most lived in the U.S. or U.K., others in such outposts as Cape Town and Dublin. Some were even in the belly of the beast: Hamburg, Pińczów, or Lyon. |
