Samuel Zanvil Zarski and Moses David Schiff. Anshei Shem: Leksikon Rabbani Olami [“Men of Note: World Rabbinic Lexicon.”]

Brief biographies, photographs and addresses of leading rabbis worldwide. This collection printed at the beginning of World War Two reflects the tragic upheavals and displacements of the era. Thus we find Rabbi J.I. Schneerson, the Rebbe of Lubavitch, residing at 494 Stone Ave. in Brooklyn (p. 26, no. 61), and Rabbi S. Taub, the Rebbe of Modzhitz, Poland residing in Vilnius (p. 36, no. 93). Needless to say the Polish and Lithuanian addresses of numerous Rabbis were undergoing their own vituperative dramas.
