Four years pafter his death Dr. Fletcher, in this commemorative volume,* has now brought together contributions by 13 of Professor Ginsberg's colleagues and associates and republished eight of Ginsberg's own papers together with a most valuable bibliography of his writings from 1914 to 1970 (prepared by Miss Angela Bullard under the aegis of Professor D. G. MacRae). The contributions include a number of memorial essays and addresses—some of them previously published in this Journal1—while the two major sections deal with philosophy and sociology and sociology and society. In the former there is a clear exposition of the philosophical underpinnings of Ginsberg's thought from the pen of the late Professor H. B. Acton—stressing Ginsberg's intellectual debt not only to L. T. Hobhouse (his predecessor and mentor at the London School of Economics) but also to Henry Sidgwick; and Acton concludes with a tribute to Ginsberg's book On Justice In Society (1965) for its 'lack of romanticism and contrived eccentricities'. Acton comments on the rational egalitarianism which informs that book—an egalitarianism qualified by a belief in the realities of freedom and undistorted by the utopian passions for and against liberty which have abounded in political thought and practice. H. B. Rickman takes up some key questions of moral and linguistic bias in the social sciences, while Professor Bierstedt and Dr. Sklair re-examine (yet again) the idea of progress—the latter stressing the ideological uses of progress (especially what he calls 'innovational' progress) and insisting that specific prob- lems of power and inequality cannot be dissolved by a general meiorist philosophical outlook. In the section on sociology and society there is a robust piece from Paul Halmos which flogs the irrationality of those 'critical' radicals who by 'battering society . claim to be bettering it'. Professor D. W. Harding neatly inverts Ginsberg's work on the Ronald Fletcher, ed., for the British Sociological Association, The Science of Society and the Unity of Mankind, A Memorial Volume for Morris Ginsberg, x + 292pp., Heinemann Edu- cational Books, London, 197, £6.50. 123 JULIUS GOULD causes of war by examining the concept of peace, and Mrs. Floud pioneers an important new enquiry into the use of social background (as distinct from mental abnormality) as excuse for crime. She demon- strates that while the concept of social abnormality can be clearly described, it is hard as yet to see how it can be applied in the courts, let alone predict the political and legal consequences that might attend such application. At a time when sociology had few practitioners in these islands— and, at times, it seemed, still fewer admirers—Morris Ginsberg, as Martin White Professor at L.S.E., pursued the discipline with a rigour and commitment uniting, by great gifts of scholarship and learning, leading strands both in the early British and the contemporary Euro- pean traditions. Many of these virtues are explored by Dr. Fletcher in his introduction to this volume. It is clear that in Ginsberg's breadth of vision Fletcher sees an antidote to the narrowness which he believes disfigures contemporary British sociology (together with British universities and much else in our society). Mordant and personal though Fletcher's reflections are, they should not, by their polemical tone, deflect attention from the truth they contain, nor from a central intellectual issue that reflection on Ginsberg's life is bound to raise. That issue is more easily expressed than solved. How can one man, however gifted, grapple with the sociological dilemma? That dilemma is many-pronged. First, the subject lives by its data—by a sociography that is accurate, and in the changing world, up to date. Second, it needs concepts so that we may judge whether the data are appropriate or whether the 'right' questions are being put (and in the right way) to the material at hand. And third (though far from finally), the 'right- ness' of the concepts is drawn from the framework of ideas (including moral ideas) into which, and from which, they feed. The intdllectual strain set up is hard to support. Indeed, given its complexity it is both intractable and insupportable—perhaps best shared between teams of scholars yoked together by fortune or fate. In such a discipline it is hard to find a completely cumulative focus—one that is perhaps 'properly', perhaps 'narrowly', described as scientific: its frontiers with other social sciences and with history remain fluid and open: the links with philosophy are problematic but important. By many of the tests imposed by this dilemma Ginsberg's own achievement, considerable as it was, is itself problematic. He knew well how to handle certain kinds of data: his early work on anthropological material, his later brief pioneering essay on social mobility, his more frequent analyses of the social composition ofJewish communities—all show a wide-ranging skill. Yet it would not be on his role as a data collector that his major 124 ON MORRIS GINSBERG reputation would rest. Rather it would rest—and for many critics fall— on his role as an exponent of an evolutionary tradition married to a moral concern with rationality, progress, and the unity of mankind (the latter being the subject of his famous Hobhouse Memorial Lecture) —themes which may seem too large or too vague to be 'operationalized' and which (to the hard-boiled youngsters of every generation) seem to raise 'philosophical' rather than sociological problems. Ginsberg originated no new range of concepts; he never made a song and dance about a conceptual framework.

  • Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz
    A Bridge across the Tigris: Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz Our Rabbis tell us that on the death of Abaye the bridge across the Tigris collapsed. A bridge serves to unite opposite shores; and so Abaye had united the opposing groups and conflicting parties of his time. Likewise Dr. Hertz’s personality was the bridge which served to unite different communities and bodies in this country and the Dominions into one common Jewish loyalty. —Dayan Yechezkel Abramsky: Eulogy for Chief Rabbi Hertz.[1] I At his death in 1946, Joseph Herman Hertz was the most celebrated rabbi in the world. He had been Chief Rabbi of the British Empire for 33 years, author or editor of several successful books, and champion of Jewish causes national and international. Even today, his edition of the Pentateuch, known as the Hertz Chumash, can be found in most centrist Orthodox synagogues, though it is often now outnumbered by other editions. His remarkable career grew out of three factors: a unique personality and capabilities; a particular background and education; and extraordinary times. Hertz was no superman; he had plenty of flaws and failings, but he made a massive contribution to Judaism and the Jewish People. Above all, Dayan Abramsky was right. Hertz was a bridge, who showed that a combination of old and new, tradition and modernity, Torah and worldly wisdom could generate a vibrant, authentic and enduring Judaism. Hertz was born in Rubrin, in what is now Slovakia on September 25, 1872.[2] His father, Simon, had studied with Rabbi Esriel Hisldesheimer at his seminary at Eisenstadt and was a teacher and grammarian as well as a plum farmer.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis argues that Hobson’s approach to international relations coheres around his use of the biological analogy of society to an organism. An aspect of this ‘organic analogy’ - the theory of surplus value - is central to Hobson’s modification of liberal thinking on international relations and his reformulated ‘new liberal internationalism’. The first part outlines a theoretical framework for Hobson’s discussion of international relations. His theory of surplus value posits cooperation as a factor in the production of value understood as human welfare. The organic analogy links this theory of surplus value to Hobson’s holistic ‘sociology’. Hobson’s new liberal internationalism is an extension of his organic theory of surplus value.

  • Book Reviews Discusses the Role Played by Isaiah Horowitz (Ca. 1570 – 1626) in the Process of the Dissemination of Lurianic Ka
    Book Reviews discusses the role played by Isaiah Horowitz (ca. 1570 – 1626) in the process of the dissemination of Lurianic Kabbalah in Ashkenaz. Offspring of an important Prague Jewish family, Horowitz eventually immigrated to the Land of Israel and is buried in Tiberias, only a stone’s throw from the grave of Maimonides. The final chapter by Pavel Čech is dedicated to the history of Sephardic Jews in early modern Amsterdam (ch. VI). Special attention is paid to strategies of dealing with forced converts to Christianity, conversos, and their re-appropriation by the Jewish community. It is not easy to pin down the relationship between isolationist and integrationist tendencies in a group fostered by an exclusivist culture which is at the same time engaged in constant interaction with broader society. For the historian of Judaism, most studies in this volume present little new data. Hence, more emphasis should have been placed on its analysis rather than mere description. Some chapters would also have benefited greatly from paying closer attention to discussions in recent historiography (especially ch. I and III). Still, the authors of this volume have succeeded in presenting the Czech reader, including non-specialists, with an important resource for understanding the complexities of Jewish medieval history. On top of that, some chapters provide information and insight relevant for students of the history of the Middle East and Islam as well. Milan Žonca WANNER, Jan. Ve stínu studené války.

  • Introduction 1
    Introduction 1 Introduction I try to imagine the twenty-three-year-old Dr Sally Daiches, as he was known in 1903, stepping on-board the ship that would take him to Britain. Did he board in Hamburg or Bremerhaven? Where did he alight? Dover, or Southampton, Hull or Grimsby? Or did he dock in Liverpool? His name is not to be found in the shipping lists I have consulted. I see him walking up to the office to complete the formalities preceding embarkation, his suitcase in one hand, his ticket in the other, also holding on to his hat which threatened to blow off and tumble on to the pier. In my mind, the image, though moving, is in the format of an old film reel, black-and-white, our rabbi-to-be and all other people on the pier are moving fast and in the somewhat unnatural way of early films. Salis’s face is obscured by the brim of his hat and by the hand which holds it so that I cannot make out his expression. What did he feel as he set foot on to the ship? Was he nervous and apprehensive? Or was he excited, full of hope for the future and calmly confident of a glittering career ahead of him? Perhaps all of these emotions coincided in the young man as he walked up to the large steamer which would deposit him in the south of England before travelling further west to New York. Did Salis travel alone or did his older brother Samuel accom- pany him? Were they perhaps with a group of friends all set to emigrate westwards? We are unlikely ever to know the answers to these questions.1 We do know, however, that Salis was part of a large number of young Jewish men who sought their fortune serving Jewish congregations in the anglo- phone world, men who left behind, at least geographically, the traditions of Eastern European Jewish life.

The speech was a major media event because it was a defining moment for New Labour ‘modernisers’.
