Book Reviews
Jonathan Frankel (1935-2008) and Ezra Mendelsohn taught Jewish
history for many years at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Together with Peter Y. Medding, a professor of political science at
the Hebrew University, they founded the Studies in Contemporary
Jewry series. Frankel's works include Prophecy and Politics:
Socialism, Nationalism and the Russian Jews, 1862-1917 and The
Damascus Affair: "Ritual Murder," Politics and the
Jews in 1840. Mendelsohn's most recent book is Painting a People:
Maurycy Gottlieb and Jewish Art.
The current editors of Studies in Contemporary Jewry are Anat
Helman, Eli Lederhendler, and Uzi Rebhun, all of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
"[Studies in Contemporary Jewry] has quickly established itself as
one of the most important yearly publications in the world of
Jewish scholarship."--American Jewish Archives
"A welcome addition to the literature on contemporary Jewry. The
series serves the needs of the intelligent layman as well as the
scholar and The Hebrew University's Institute of Contemporary
Jewry, which sponsors the project, can be proud of its
achievement."--The Jerusalem Post
