Awakened

Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America. Near Fine in Very Good- dj. 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. [very slight wear to spine extremities, no other discernible wear; the jacket has a small piece missing at the lower left corner of the front panel, with an associated 2-inch diagonal closed tear, some diagonal creasing at the other three corners of the front panel, and some minor paper loss and dog-earing at the spine ends]. "A small-town congregation is awakened to its Jewish responsibilities by two dynamic personalities, Rabbi Rosen and his wife. They, in turn, are awakened to the meaning and challenge of Americanism and to the spiritual needs of their congregation. . . . [The author] has drawn a skillful portrait of a German rabbi and his wife, who, uprooted from the seeming security of their position in Germany, are faced with the dual task of uniting a congregation and becoming adjusted to the pace of life in the United States." ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
