His thorough knowledge of the Midrash, and the startling uses he made of it in his sermons, distinguish him especially from all his contemporaries and predecessors.

All his addresses are timely answers of Judaism to present-day questions and problems of intellectual and national life, of religion and science. With admirable insight he immediately recognizes in every midrash the whole structure of the original discourse.... Jellinek also produced a large number of scholarly works in numerous fields [as this work]. " (JE) SUBJECT(S) : Jews, Proverbs. Edgeworn; pages dark. Leaves brittle and chipping; some detached.

DIE JUDEN UND DAS WIRTSCHAFTSLEBEN.
Leipzig: Duncker und Humblot, 1920. Half cloth. 8vo. 476 pages. In German. Sombart was a German political economist and sociologist. "Born in Ermsleben, Sombart acquired a reputation through his work Der Morderne Kapitalismus (1902) in which he traced the development of capitalism fromt he later Middle Ages." This work aroused considerable controversy because Sombart wrote that the Jews were the principal cause of the disruption of the medieval economic system and its replacement by capitalism. The Jews, he said, undermined the guilds and promoted international trade which lead to capitalism. Sombart's work was later cited as a primary influence on Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda because "he stressed the incompatibility of Jewish commercialism with the spirit of the 'nordic farmer'" and in his 1934 work Deutscher Sozialismus he favored Nazi policies that excluded Jews from economic and cultural life (EJ) .

"Bericht des Kuratoriums" and "Bericht des Rektors, " in German and containing tables, at end. Friedmann was a rabbinic scholar born in Slovakia. "His writing is exceptionally erudite, profound, logical, and elegant of expression. His influence on Jewish scholarship was considerable. Many of the commentaries and interpretations of later talmudic scholars and researchers originated in his work. Friedmann maintained that 'the Talmud is the foundation of Judaism and whoever abandons it is abandoning life'; this conviction affected all his creative work and activities. At the height of the Haskalah Friedmann was calling for traditional education, even drawing up plans for traditional Jewish secondary schools and universities. He was also active in the Zionist movement and founded the Association for the Dissemination of the Hebrew Language.
