The Memoirs of Nahum N. Glatzer

Edited and Presented by Michael Fishbane and Judith Glatzer Wechsler 		The geographic, spiritual, and intellectual journeys of Nahum Glatzer (1903-1990) —prolific scholar, Brandeis University professor, and editor of the Schocken publishing house—reveal a rich cultural ambiance that no longer exists, as well as a breadth of perspective and learning that remains enviable in out time. This collection of 78 memoir entries, written as a document for his family, offers personal glimpses of Glatzer, complementary to his scholarship. "This magnificent collection of memoirs by a great Jewish scholar is a gem. Read it and ask your friends to read it. They will be grateful for discovering the mind and the soul of a rare interpreter and commentator who has enriched many generations of students and teachers."
—Elie Wiesel
