Notes:

Ahad Ha-am is the pen-name of Asher Ginzberg.

"The nine short papers which comprise the present collection are among the best known essays of Ahad Ha-am and quite representative of his thought and style ... For the selection of the essays the editor alone is responsible, and his choice was determined in every case by the readability of the essay, its literary excellence, its interpretation of some aspect of Judaism, or its relevance to Jewish life in modern society."--Foreword.

"The first four essays have been vocalized throughout. The principles underlying the vocalization are those current in Israel for vocalized texts intended for the mature reader ... From the fifth essay on vocalization has been gradually reduced."--Foreword.

Selected from \Al parashat derakhim.
