The Fifty-Minute Hour

Ginor (Jewish literature, The Jewish Theological Seminary of America) is joined by a number of other eminent Jewish scholars and teachers to pay homage to the work of Mordecai Waxman. Divided into four sections, beginning with an overview of Waxman's life, this book includes discussions of Jewish thought, incorporating essays on Biblical analysis and contemporary theology; a section on Jewish-Christian relations; and a concluding section on American Judaism, with discussions of women's roles, and the American synagogue.
