Jewish Profiles: Great Jewish Personalities and Institutions of the Twentieth Century offers portraits of such diverse individuals as Cynthia Ozick, Gershom Scholem, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Elie Wiesel, Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveitchik, Teddy Kollek, and Betty Friedan. Murray Polner's keen eye as an observer of contemporary Jewish life also casts its view on intriguing institutions, including the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Brandeis University, Agudath Israel, and the Jewish Daily Forward. The essays contained in this book have been written by a group of the finest Jewish journalists of our era. Taken from the pages of Present Tense magazine, of which Murray Polner was its founding and sole editor, each chapter is a fascinating read and an opportunity to get an intimate glimpse into these significant people and institutions.
