192818388Boston: The Stratford Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. nice-looking book gilt lettering on spine and front cover bright as new slight bumping to bottom corners shallow dent at edge of rear cover light soiling to fore-edge; jacket a bit tattered tears/chips at all corners about one inch paper loss to base of spine. The author undertakes in this book to address the "most serious maladjustment between life and religion" that he feels to be manifest in American Judaism. As the jacket blurb states: "Even the professing Orthodox Jew must admit that between the demands of religion and the call of modern American life the chasm is widening daily." However by "following a proper historical perspective" he explains how to discover "the vital seed of self-preservation and ideal self-adjustment to prevailing conditions of life" that lies within Judaism itself. This is a review copy with the original publisher's slip laid in indicating that it was originally sent for review to the Literary Editor of the California Jewish Review in Los Angeles. .
