A Unique Perspective
Rav Breuer's Essays 1914-1973
This comprehensive volume contains 136 essays by Rav Dr. Joseph Breuer zt'l, Rosh Yeshiva in Frankfurt and Rav of Khal Adath Jeshurun in New York, presented in chronological order to give the reader a sense of the history of the times. The essays deal with all aspects of Jewish living: from the everyday challenges of leading a Torah-true life in the modern world to the emotional moments of the Yomim Nora'im and Yomim Tovim; from the world of the Holocaust to the rise of a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael; from the learning program of the Frankfurt Yeshiva to the education of modern-day yeshiva students; from the fledgling beginnings of K'hal Adath Jeshurun to its becoming the model Kehilla known the world over. Rav Breuer's essays reflect the teachings and Torah im Derech Eretz hashkafah of his grandfather, Rav S. R. Hirsch.

- Excellent DrushosI purchased this Sefer out of curiousity. I enjoy learning Rav Hirsch's Seforim and I consider his hashkafah as my main inspiration in Torah and Avodas HaShem. I was not as familair with Rav Breuer and I thought it would be great to learn how the later generation distilled Rav Hirsch's hashkafah. Fortunately, I found Rav Breuer's drushos very moving with heartfelt post Holocaust emotion. This is a significant contribution to understanding the development of the Hirsch Hashkafah in post war USA. I really regret not having visited the Breuer Kehillah when I learned in NY. Thank you again Mishpuchat Feldheim for your significant contribuion to the Hirsch Mesorah.
