Description

FIRST EDITION. English interspersed with Hebrew

summary

In this erudite, if brief, doctoral dissertation, Rabbi Mendel Silber traces the evolution of the institute of the Synagogue from ancient times. One may notice that the curious oblong shape of the book is remarkably similar to that of Zemir Aritzim (Newark, 1899), a peculiar bibliophile edition, published by Ephraim Deinard - Silber’s father-in-law
