Emperor Franz Joseph - Great Non-Jews in Jewish History
Item #: 0767
The last of the Hapsburgs, Emperor Franz Joseph was matchless in his friendship to Jews. While anti-Semitism was de rigueur in the rest of Europe, Emperor Franz Joseph involved himself personally in Jewish causes. From his outcry against the Church for the kidnapping of a Jewish child to his financial assistance to build the grandest synagogue in Jerusalem, Rabbi Wein shows how the emperor earned the love of the Jewish people.
