Now a classic of Jewish immigrant fiction from the longtime editor of the leading immigrant Jewish newspaper the Forverts. Abraham "Abe" Cahan 1860 � 1951 was a "Belarusian-born Jewish-American socialist newspaper editor novelist and politician.He arrived by steamboat in Philadelphia on June 6 of 1882 at the age of 21 and immediately traveled to New York where he would live for the remainder of his life.Cahan was the progenitor of Yiddish language publishing and production in America.Cahan is most famous for his journalism and his role in the production of the renowned The Jewish Daily Forward ForvertsCahan founded the Forward with its first issue coming out in 1887 while he was still juggling several newspaper jobs.Cahan took absolute control of the paper in 1903 and ran it full-time until 1946. In his years working at the Forward Cahan transformed the self-identified socialist newspaper from an obscure paper with only six thousand readers to the forefront of Yiddish journalism. The Jewish Daily Forward became a symbol of American socialism and Jewish immigration and assumed the role of an Americanizing agent instructing its readers in the social economic political and cultural aspects of the United States. Cahan received criticism from fellow Jewish journalists because he didn�t limit the Forward to Jewish topics but wrote on a variety of themes and was one of the more temperate voices in the Socialist Party of America respecting his readers' religious beliefs and preaching an increasingly moderate version of the socialist gospel as time progressed.Cahan not only distinguished himself through Yiddish literature which mostly centered around socialist propaganda but also through his English novels that dealt with the social historical process of immigrants becoming Americans.By 1901 Cahan had six of his stories published in a variety of popular magazines" WIkipedia 2018 Sunned spine otherwise Very Good Condition KH-8-25 .

‎Lincoln’s Oft-quoted Letter Written Early in the War to his Treasury Secretary Vividly Demonstrating the Emotion and Strong Loyalty of the President‎

‎In making anti-slavery Republican Lewis Clephane the Post Master of Washington he disappointed “my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply†“There is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs… I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Lewis Clephane was the manager of the “Washington Era†an anti-slavery newspaper courageously operating in the nation’s capital at a time when it was not popular to take that stand there. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of its contributors. She wrote what became “Uncle Tom’s Cabin†at his request after he asked for a story to serialize in his newspaper. In 1855 he and four other colleagues formed a group called the Republican Association of Washington and sent forth the call for the formation of the Republican Party. The next year he also put forth the call for the first Republican National Convention and served on its executive committee. Clephane campaigned for Lincoln in 1860 and in fact was president of the Washington Wide-Awakes. After Lincoln was elected he changed the name of his paper to the Washington Republican. For his many services and his political strength and support in the capital the new President felt obliged to offer Clephane a federal position in the city and settled on the postmastership. Nathan Sargent was a Whig who had served as sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives during Lincoln’s term in Congress from 1847-9 and was then Register of the U.S. Treasury. The two were friendly at the time and remained so afterwards. In 1859 Sargent wrote Lincoln setting forth his plan to unite the Republicans with old Whigs in the South in opposition to slavery for the 1860 election but while Lincoln appreciated the suggestion and support he realistically told Sargent “If the rotten democracy shall be beaten in 1860 it has to be done by the North; no human invention can deprive them of the South.†Sargent knew Washington and after Lincoln’s election hoped for the postmastership for himself. Lincoln had to make a choice for Postmaster of Washington D.C. and he chose Clephane. But he was unwilling to simply disappoint Sargent and found another position for him of as great or even greater import. And to accomplish the result he sought he wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington May 10 1861 to Chase requesting Sargent to be given a post in the War Department. “My dear Sir: I have felt myself obliged to refuse the post-office at this place to my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply. He now says there is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs’ which the incumbent a Mr. Ingham wishes to vacate. I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Chase’s endorsement on the verso reads “Received May 10 ’61. Desires appointment of Nathan Sargent as Commissioner of Customs.†Chase complied. Sargent served as Commissioner of Customs from 1861-67. After he retired he wrote a book “Public Men & Events from the Commencement of Mr. Monroe’s Administration in 1817 to the Close of Mr. Fillmore’s†unknown‎

‎DIE PROPHETIE INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR‎

‎Umiejetnosci. 1936. Hardcover. Ger9 amr6 211 . 1st Edition. Later boards. 8vo. Vi 194 pages; 25 cm. 6 word initialled inscription by the author. In German. Title translates to �Prophecy. � Bibliographical footnotes. Extremely rare first edition of Abraham Joshua Heschel�s 1907-1972 dissertation on the Hebrew prophets the work that became key to his close relationship with Martin Luther King jr as King�s closest Jewish colleague. Martin Luther King jr and Heschel "initially bonded over the prophets. King was drawn to Heschel�s intimate knowledge of the topic Heschel�s masterwork in a body of masterworks was his book The Prophets and Heschel in turn admired King�s devotion to the Exodus story of Moses and the Israelites adapted to the narrative of the civil rights struggle in the 1950s and �60s.Heschel.can also be considered a kind of prophet himself. The main job of the prophets of the Bible after all is to hold their people�s feet to the fire. Moses railed at the weak and foolish Israelites who strayed from the path the minute their leader ascended to the mountaintop to commune with God. King fulminated against the war in Southeast Asia as well as against the injustices rampant in white American culture toward those whom it had enslaved for hundreds of years. Heschel supported both these causes incurring the disapproval of some Jewish leaders when he did not hesitate to vigorously excoriate U. S. Involvement in Vietnam preaching widely on the subject writing letters to presidents and being a spokesman for other religious leaders in meetings with high-level military strategists like Secretary of State Dean Rusk.Heschel like King had the charisma a prophet needs. He was impossible to dismiss even when his message stung. The consummate gadfly he shined a bright light on the ills of American society and also on those of American Judaism in the mid-20th century which he saw as stultifying airless soulless moribund. He was an outlier on one crisis we face today: how to make Judaism not only appealing but actually indispensable for Jews of future generations. His words were bracing and his exhortations powerful but rendered in such breathtakingly poetic language as well as expressed verbally in his disarming Polish accent they seem like a loving gift from a benevolent elder not a rebuke: He even warned warmly. He was a Jew who had suffered and seen too much suffering and who unlike the rest of us was capable of vision on a greater scale the prophetic scale. He knew what he was talking about and like King he believed people could rise up be their best selves and behave with righteousness and even with holiness. Heschel died in 1972 four years after his friend King was shot dead. It�s a long time ago now. The prophets we have today don�t speak in King�s mellifluous rhetoric or write in Heschel�s enchanting prose. Maybe we have murdered or hounded to death those with the capacity to make our hearts soar with their words of justice and compassion; we�ve gotten pretty cynical maybe too cynical for those kinds of voices" Sian Gibby in Tablet Magazine 2016 . Abraham Joshua Heschel January 11 1907 � December 23 1972 was a Polish-born American rabbi and one of the leading Jewish theologians and Jewish philosophers of the 20th century.In late October 1938 when Heschel was living in a rented room in the home of a Jewish family in Frankfurt he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Poland. He spent ten months lecturing on Jewish philosophy and Torah at Warsaw's Institute for Jewish Studies. Six weeks before the German invasion of Poland Heschel left Warsaw for London with the help of Julian Morgenstern president of Hebrew Union College who had been working to obtain visas for Jewish scholars in Europe.Heschel believed the teachings of the Hebrew prophets were a clarion call for social action in the United States and worked for African Americans' civil rights and against the Vietnam War. He also specifically criticized what he called �pan-halakhism � or an exclusive focus upon religiously compatible behavior to the neglect of the non-legalistic dimension of rabbinic tradition. Heschel is a widely read Jewish theologian whose most influential works include Man Is Not Alone.At the Vatican Council II as representative of American Jews Heschel persuaded the Roman Catholic Church to eliminate or modify passages in its liturgy that demeaned the Jews or referred to an expected conversion to Christianity. His theological works argued that religious experience is a fundamentally human impulse not just a Jewish one. He believed that no religious community could claim a monopoly on religious truth. " WIkipedia 2016 . Heschel was the Polish-born American rabbi who became one of the leading Jewish theologians and Jewish philosophers of the 20th century.

‎Lincoln Abraham‎

‎Lincoln Strikes Back Against the Claim That He Would Intervene to Thwart a Corruption Investigation Defending Himself From the Presidential Aspirations of One of His Team of Rivals‎

‎An Important Communication in the Power Struggle Between President Abraham Lincoln and Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase For Control of the Republican Party in 1864 Lincoln defends his integrity to Chase and states that such attacks are against the public interest; He criticizes the performance of Chase’s men in the New York Customs House and seeks to replace them with his own men “This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action…The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man.†As early as December 1862 Republican leaders met to express dissatisfaction with the Lincoln administration and there was continuing organized criticism over the next year that caused Lincoln much grief. Then in 1864 there was a movement to replace Lincoln at the head of the Republican ticket which became strong enough that Lincoln despaired of his renomination. Lincoln put the blame squarely on Salmon Chase his Secretary of the Treasury whom he said was at the bottom “of all the mischief.†Hiram Barney was a Republican whose wife was the daughter of noted abolitionist Lewis Tappan who played a key role in the defense of the slaves who captured the Amistad. Lincoln was entertained by Barney while visiting New York for his Cooper Union speech in February 1860. After the speech it was Barney who took Lincoln out to dinner at the Athenaeum Club on Fifth Avenue. Barney was a political ally of Salmon P. Chase of Ohio who viewed Barney as his chief New York sponsor. However Barney supported Lincoln at the May 1860 Republican National Convention when he realized that Chase was out of the running for the presidential nomination. After Lincoln was nominated Barney traveled to Springfield to meet with Lincoln and consult regarding potential cabinet appointments. Barney enthusiastically supported the ticket and raised $35000 in New York for the national ticket. This would be the equivalent of over $1000000 today. Newly inaugurated President Lincoln appointed Chase Secretary of the Treasury. The greatest prize within the Treasury Department was the collectorship of the port of New York a place highly paid honorable and through its large number of employees a means of affecting the politics of New York City and State. Lincoln named Barney Collector of the Port of New York. Lincoln later related “You remember that when Hiram Barney was appointed at the beginning of this administration collector of the port of New York everybody supposed that he was Chase’s selection and nobody else’s. Now Barney was as much my choice as he was Chase’s; and when Chase Seward and myself standing round that table Barney’s appointment was decided upon I believe that I was the most gratified person then present.†But in office Barney was was a lightening rod for trouble. He was not politically active enough to suit Chase’s supporters was soon out of favor with the anti-Chase faction in New York that was loyal to William Seward appointed Democrats to posts in his department and was widely and credibly accused of corruption. Barney made noises about resigning but did not. Meanwhile in early 1864 Barney’s enemies spread stories that he was supporting Chase for President and opposing President Lincoln’s reelection. Moreover Lincoln had his eye on the New York customs house because he feared the embarrassing corruption scandals might hurt his chances in New York in the November election. At this time Barney had drifted into the Radical Republican orbit and some radicals sought to replace Lincoln at the top of the ticket with Chase’s at least tacit approval. So there was growing pressure on Lincoln to remove Barney but Chase came to his rescue both for political and personal reasons. On a personal level Barney had quietly and unbeknownst to Lincoln lent Chase a substantial sum of money so Chase was in his debt and Barney managed Chase’s New York real estate. He was too good a friend for Chase to sacrifice. Lincoln wrote Chase rather gently on January 11 1864: “I am receiving letters and dispatches indicating an expectation that Mr. Barney is to leave the Custom House at New York. Have you anything on the subject.†But Chase made Barney’s retention a question of personal honor. In response Chase defended Barney writing Lincoln: “Nothing at all except urgent representatives of the necessity of reform which do not at all impeach Mr. Barney in whose integrity I have undiminished confidence.†Chase also told Lincoln “I am to-day fifty-six years old. I have never consciously and deliberately injured one fellow man. It is too late for me to begin by sacrificing to clamor the reputation of a man whom I have known for more than twenty years and whose repute for honesty has been all that time unsullied. I shall not recommend the removal of Mr. Barney except upon such show of misconduct or incapacity as makes it my duty to do so. In such a case I shall not shrink from my duty.†This did not satisfy Lincoln who was fed up with Chase and his protege Barney. On February 13 1864 the President told Attorney General Edward Bates that he had decided Barney must go. Then he asked Secretary of State William Seward to find a diplomatic post for Barney which he did - the ambassadorship to Portugal. Barney’s position was additionally undermined by the actions of a Chase lieutenant Joshua S. Bailey special agent of the Treasury at New York who was supposed to investigate corruption in Barney’s customs operations but but who threw Lincoln under the bus telling the Congressional committee investigating him that “whatever might be developed the President would take no action.†Furious at the false and slanderous allegation that he tolerated corruption the day before he told Bates that Barney must go Lincoln wrote Chase directly. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington February 12 1864 to Chase trying to ease Barney out smoothly while . “My dear Sir: I have felt considerable anxiety concerning the Custom House at New-York. Mr. Barney has suffered no abatement of my confidence in his honor and integrity; and yet I am convinced that he has ceased to be master of his position. A man by the name of Bailey whom I am unconscious of ever having seen or even having heard of except in this connection expects to be and even now assumes to be Collector de facto while Mr. Barney remains nominally so. This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action and the committee would thereby be placed unpleasantly. The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man. I propose sending Mr. Barney Minister to Portugal as evidence of my continued confidence in him; and I further propose appointing ___ Collector of the Customs at New-York. I wrote the draft of this letter two weeks ago but delayed sending it for a reason which I will state when I see you. Yours truly A. Lincoln.†In his original retained draft Lincoln had indicated that he would appoint Preston King a former Republican U.S. Senator from New York who was then practicing law. Apparently Lincoln thought twice about naming specifically naming King or anyone else under the circumstances so left the name blank. And Lincoln was right about Bailey who it turned out was more corrupt than the people he was investigating; Bailey eventually fled to avoid prosecution for embezzlement. Chase replied to this letter the next day and sought to keep Lincoln from acting to replace Barney without his consent. “I was surprised and pained by your letter this morning. Misrepresentations I am sure must have been made to you about the New York Custom House. I regret that I was not earlier consulted in a matter which so deeply concerns this Department & still trust that before you take any definitive action you will confer with me fully on the subject. I shall be ready at any hour which may suit your convenience.†Lincoln later said that Chase had threatened to resign from the Secretaryship of the Treasury if Barney was removed and that he the President gave in once telling a Treasury aide on this subject “Well I backed down again.†Illness now interfered in the communication between Chase and Lincoln on the issue. Lincoln replied on February 13 that “On coming up from the reception I found your note of today. I am unwell even now and shall be worse this afternoon. If you please we will have an interview Monday.†In the midst of this patronage controversy Lincoln learned of the distribution of the “Pomeroy Circular†advocating Chase’s candidacy for President just 10 days after sending this letter. Chase offered to resign on February 22 and on February 29 the President wrote the Treasury Secretary: “Whether you shall remain at the head of the Treasury Department is a question which I will not allow myself to consider from any stand-point other than my judgment of the public service; and in that view I do not perceive occasion for a change.†Lincoln was not yet ready to let go of Chase. Lincoln again unsuccessfully pushed the Treasury Secretary to dismiss Barney on June 6 1864. He paid Chase a visit. The President opened the conversation on the persistent custom-house problem. After he gave his opinion an unfavorable one about Bailey he went on to speak of Barney’s replacement. Chase as usual was well prepared and his tone of voice was self-assured. He denied that Bailey had been so indiscreet to say what he was alleged to have said and he backed this statement up with a detailed account of Bailey’s activities. Chases’s biographer wrote: “This personal conference removed the difficulty for the time being; there is some reason to suppose that Chase again threatened to resign and that the President again gave way. In late June 1864 Chase sought to replace the well-respected John Cisco as Assistant Treasury Secretary for New York with a clearly unqualified candidate of suspect political loyalty. Lincoln fearing an open revolt among Republicans and voters urged Chase to select from among three alternative candidates. Chase rejected them and instead persuaded the incumbent to withdraw his resignation forcing the President’s hand. When Chase sought a meeting with Lincoln he was rebuffed “because the difficulty does not in the main part lie within the range of a conversation between you and me.†On June 29 Chase once again resigned and this time Lincoln accepted. “I thought I could not stand it any longer†the President confided to his secretary John Hay. With Chase gone from the cabinet and the new Treasury Secretary William P. Fessenden not committed to Barney’s retention Lincoln was free to make a change. As Barney explained to Chase the President requested his resignation “as a personal and political favor of great value and importance to him.†In late August Lincoln’s secretary John G. Nicolay was dispatched to New York to make the necessary job shifts. After a conference Barney submitted his resignation. Simeon Draper was named to replace Barney and he was in office until August 1965 when President Andrew Johnson named Preston King to replace him. Barney remained loyal to Chase - serving on a presidential organizing committee in 1868. He was at Chase’s side when he died. Lincoln realized that Chase had a constituency within his own party and rather than let a competent enemy battle with him for years going forward in December 1864 Lincoln kicked Chase upstairs and named him the 6th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. This removed Chase from politics and at the same time placed a reliable and capable Republican in that office unknown‎

‎ANALYSIS OF PIETY‎

‎Place Of Publication Not Identified. 1942. Paperback. Amr6 rab12 . Off Print. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. 293-307 pages ; 24 cm. Reprinted from �The Review of Religion � in February 1942. In English. This is this first piece of scholarly writing that Abraham Joshua Heschel published in America as well as the first that he published in English seven years before his landmark publications of �The Sabbath� and �Man Is Not Alone� He also produced for private use at HUC by his students �A Concise Dictionary of Hebrew Philosophical Terms� in 1941 . Martin Luther King jr. and Heschel "initially bonded over the prophets. King was drawn to Heschel�s intimate knowledge of the topic Heschel�s masterwork in a body of masterworks was his book The Prophets and Heschel in turn admired King�s devotion to the Exodus story of Moses and the Israelites adapted to the narrative of the civil rights struggle in the 1950s and �60s.Heschel.can also be considered a kind of prophet himself. The main job of the prophets of the Bible after all is to hold their people�s feet to the fire. Moses railed at the weak and foolish Israelites who strayed from the path the minute their leader ascended to the mountaintop to commune with God. King fulminated against the war in Southeast Asia as well as against the injustices rampant in white American culture toward those whom it had enslaved for hundreds of years. Heschel supported both these causes incurring the disapproval of some Jewish leaders when he did not hesitate to vigorously excoriate U. S. Involvement in Vietnam preaching widely on the subject writing letters to presidents and being a spokesman for other religious leaders in meetings with high-level military strategists like Secretary of State Dean Rusk.Heschel like King had the charisma a prophet needs. He was impossible to dismiss even when his message stung. The consummate gadfly he shined a bright light on the ills of American society and also on those of American Judaism in the mid-20th century which he saw as stultifying airless soulless moribund. He was an outlier on one crisis we face today: how to make Judaism not only appealing but actually indispensable for Jews of future generations. His words were bracing and his exhortations powerful but rendered in such breathtakingly poetic language as well as expressed verbally in his disarming Polish accent they seem like a loving gift from a benevolent elder not a rebuke: He even warned warmly. He was a Jew who had suffered and seen too much suffering and who unlike the rest of us was capable of vision on a greater scale the prophetic scale. He knew what he was talking about and like King he believed people could rise up be their best selves and behave with righteousness and even with holiness. Heschel died in 1972 four years after his friend King was shot dead. It�s a long time ago now. The prophets we have today don�t speak in King�s mellifluous rhetoric or write in Heschel�s enchanting prose. Maybe we have murdered or hounded to death those with the capacity to make our hearts soar with their words of justice and compassion; we�ve gotten pretty cynical maybe too cynical for those kinds of voices" Sian Gibby in Tablet Magazine 2016 . Abraham Joshua Heschel January 11 1907 � December 23 1972 was a Polish-born American rabbi and one of the leading Jewish theologians and Jewish philosophers of the 20th century.In late October 1938 when Heschel was living in a rented room in the home of a Jewish family in Frankfurt he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Poland. He spent ten months lecturing on Jewish philosophy and Torah at Warsaw's Institute for Jewish Studies. Six weeks before the German invasion of Poland Heschel left Warsaw for London with the help of Julian Morgenstern president of Hebrew Union College who had been working to obtain visas for Jewish scholars in Europe.Heschel believed the teachings of the Hebrew prophets were a clarion call for social action in the United States and worked for African Americans' civil rights and against the Vietnam War. He also specifically criticized what he called �pan-halakhism � or an exclusive focus upon religiously compatible behavior to the neglect of the non-legalistic dimension of rabbinic tradition. Heschel is a widely read Jewish theologian whose most influential works include Man Is Not Alone.At the Vatican Council II as representative of American Jews Heschel persuaded the Roman Catholic Church to eliminate or modify passages in its liturgy that demeaned the Jews or referred to an expected conversion to Christianity. His theological works argued that religious experience is a fundamentally human impulse not just a Jewish one. He believed that no religious community could claim a monopoly on religious truth.

In 1940 he was invited by Julian Morgenstern to teach at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati where he was associate professor of philosophy and rabbinics for five years. From 1945 he taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America JTS as professor of Jewish ethics and mysticism. In 1946 he married Sylvia Strauss who gave birth to Susannah Heschel who followed in the footsteps of her father as a scholar of Judaism. Heschel visited Israel and called for the renewal of the prophetic vision in Zion. He served as professor at JTS until his death combining his professional activities with extensive social action. Heschel wrote books and studies on medieval Jewish philosophy � on Saadiah Gaon Solomon ibn Gabirol Maimonides and Don Isaac Abrabanel � as well as on Hasidism. He became one of the most influential modern philosophers of religion in the United States where his work is widely recognized in Jewish and Christian circles. � Rothschild and Meir EJ 2007 Cover and pages slightly tanned.
