Grigory Andreyevich Gershuni (18701908) was born in Kaunas, in the Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Lithuania) , to a petty bourgeois family of Lithuanian Jews . In 1898, his parents were killed in a pogrom . Gershuni was a socialist and a founding member of the Workers' Party for the Political Liberation of Russia. This led to his arrest in 1900 by the Okhrana (secret police. After his release he joined with fellow revolutionaries including Catherine Breshkovsky, Victor Chernov, Alexander Kerensky and Yevno Azef to establish the Socialist-Revolutionary Party in 1901. Gershuni also founded the SR Combat Organization in 1902, which planned and executed the assassination of Dmitry Sipyagin, the Minister of Interior, in April 1902 and of N. M. Bogdanovich, the Governor of Ufa, in May 1903. They failed to assassinate Prince Ivan Mikhailovich Obolensky, the Governor of Kharkov, in July 1902. Gershuni was unaware that Yevno Azef, his deputy, was working as an Okhrana spy. In May 1903, Gershuni was arrested in Kiev. In February 1904, Gershuni was tried by a military court in Saint Petersburg and received a death sentence, which later was reduced to life imprisonment at a hard labour camp by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. In 1906, he hid in a barrel of sauerkraut and escaped from the Akatuy katorga to China. From China he traveled to Japan and the United States, giving speeches from San Francisco to New York City in support of the socialist-revolutionary causes. In Chicago he met Jane Addams.

Title translates as Mendele Anthology: Published for the 100th Birthday of MMS. A nazi-era Yiddish language study book on Mendele Mokher Sefarim, produced by the children's publishers Grinke Beymelekh ("Green Saplings"). Mendele Mokher Seforim (1835-1917) is revered as the grandfather of Yiddish literature for his innovations in laying a new literary framework for Yiddish. His work realistically portrayed Jewish life with honesty and without judgment and depicted the world of the shtetl [village] with all its poverty and decay; all its joy and poetry. Mendele was born in Belorussia (Belarus) and came from a comfortable family of Lithuanian rabbis. He initially wrote in Hebrew and was a proponent of the Haskalah, but started writing writing in Yiddish in the 1860s (Stevens, 2019). SUBJECTS: Yiddish-language study. OCLC Number:234575366.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. 200, XIII pages. 25 cm. First edition. In Hebrew with English summary. Added title page: The Crown Rabbinate in Russia; A Chapter in the Cultural Struggle Between Orthodox Jews and Maskilim. The Crown Rabbis of late imperial Russia held the government-mandated designation of rabbi, but their functions as record keepers, Russian administrative representatives, and sometimes Jewish communal (but secular) leaders belied the religious title. the opening of government-sponsored rabbinical training seminaries in Vilna and Zhitomir in 1847 these schools reflected the practical ideals of the maskilim, who emphasized the need for religious leaders to have a strong secular education. the crown rabbinate outlasted the crown rabbinical schools. On the one hand, the increasingly influential maskilim and other progressive Jews promoted the notion that a rabbi should embody worldly ideas and guide his community in the social, economic, and intellectual components of the Haskalah. Orthodox Jews, on the other hand, wanted only a traditional spiritual rabbinate. By the turn of the twentieth century, the question of who should be empowered with the religious representation of, and authority over, the Jewish communities in Russia had turned into a heated debate that played itself out in the Russian Jewish press and at various meetings of rabbis and the intelligentsia. The Russian Jewish journals Ha-Melits and Voskhod served as forums for this debate, which continued until World War I and aimed, ultimately, at solving the problem of the dual rabbinate. All the while, crown rabbis continued to function in their official capacities, even participating in various Russian rabbinic commissions as well as the Rabbinic Congress of 1910.
