Item Description:

The Jewish communities of the Austro-Hungarian empire were communities of extremes, both on the right and on the left. Chassidus held strong there, but so did secularism, and the wars between them explain much about the extremism in our world today. Rabbi Wein takes us back to some of those original battles – between the Noda B’Yehuda and Chassidus, between the Chasam Sofer and the Reform, and between Herzl and religious anti-Zionism – giving us a lifelike picture of high-spirited Jews unafraid of taking a stand.
