Excerpt from Sermons
In accordance with a resolution adopted by the Central Conference of American Rabbis, at Rochester, N.Y., in July 1895, the Publication Committee presents herewith this collection of thirty-seven sermons preached in the American Jewish pulpit by twenty-seven different rabbis. The intention is to publish a similar volume from time to time in the hope that this may prove a medium for the clearer expression and the better under standing of the fundamental doctrines and characteristic aims of modern Judaism and a historical record of the development of the content and expression of Jewish religious thought. It is anticipated that this book will be of interest to preachers and laymen of all denominations, who may desire to learn what Judaism has to say in regard to the vital questions of the day.
The plan of the book has been suggested by its need. The sermons for the festivals occupy a larger space than is given to the other discourses, because they reflect clearly and directly the main ideas of Judaism, and, moreover, because they will be of special benefit to the smaller communities which have no rabbis and wish to conduct divine services on the chief holy days.
