Notes:

"Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Rabinowitz of Monastryshche (1860-1938) was a leader of several Hasidic communities in Ukraine who immigrated to America in 1924 following the waves of anti-Jewish persecutions in Ukraine. His leadership was marked by deep involvement both intellectually and emotionally in the challenges confronting the Jewish world. This anthology and translation of his works on the Jewish holidays, with the incisive commentary of Professor Ora Wiskind, offers a rare and important contribution to our understanding of how a unique thinker navigated tradition and innovation in confronting an era of transformation"--Publisher's website.
