A defense of the author’s previous work, Yamim MiKedem, which sought to reconcile Rabbinic sources on Jewish history with the latest findings in Egyptology and in opposition to anonymous attackers. Rabbi Chaim Hirschensohn (1857-1935) a native of Jerusalem and a man of iconoclastic opinions, served as Chief Rabbi of Hoboken from 1904 until his death. See EJ, Vol. VIII, cols. 521-22.
