Aspects of Judaism: Being Sixteen Sermons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Aspects of Judaism: Being Sixteen SermonsThe Sermons contained in this volume, with three exceptions, were all delivered at various Jewish religious services. Though there is no basis in Jewish history for a distinction between clergy and laity, in practice such a distinction inevitably arose towards the end of the middle-ages. Yet, laymen though we are, and though our opinions on many points may not be generally shared by Jews, we have nevertheless been permitted to occupy the pulpit in several Jewish places of worship. This fact is not merely a source of gratification to ourselves, but seems to speak well for the liberality of modern Judaism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
