What is Rabbi in America: The Story of Isaac M. Wise about?
Rabbi in America is one of the volumes in the Library of American Biography series, edited by Oscar Handlin; and if, as one assumes, it is the only volume to be devoted to an American Jew, Isaac Mayer Wise was a good choice. He combines in his career two aspects of American Jewish life that are not ordinarily seen or considered together. One is the story of migration and adaptation to a new country; the other is the story of the creation of American Reform Judaism, which is the part of American Jewish life that is most decisively cut off from the immigrant past, and most clearly an expression of the conditions found in America.
