Overview

Excerpt from Out of Bondage In the field of Hebrew literature and education. The outbreak of war kept him in the United States, whither he had gone on a short visit, and he threw all the vigour of his personality and his intellect into the work of awakening American Jewry to the Jewish national issue, with a success to which the present strength of the Zionist Organization in the United States bears witness. It was in the United States that the essays in this volume' were written - written in Hebrew or Yiddish, as occasional essays on topics of the hour. Thanks to the initiative of Mr. P. Schweitzer, a well known American Zionist, a translation was made in America by Miss Nellie Straus and Mr. P. Raskin. This translation followed Dr. Levin to England, and at his request I undertook to revise the manuscript and see the work through the press. In addition to a good deal of verbal revision, I have omitted here and there a phrase or a sentence as being likely to confuse rather than to enlighten the English reader, whose point of view is naturally different from that of those for whom the essays were written. But in substance I have left the essays as they were, and I have not tried to bring them up to date by altering passages which refer to the war as still in progress. The few footnotes which I have added will, I hope, sufficiently explain unfamiliar words and obscure allusions.
