{"product_id":"9780739162576","title":"Witness from the Pulpit: Topical Sermons, 1933-1980","description":"Harold I. Saperstein served as rabbi of Temple Emanu-El of Lynbrook, N.Y., from 1933 until his retirement in 1980. The specific contours of his career reflect a sustained effort to use the pulpit of this suburban temple to communicate a Jewish perspective based on personal encounters with great issues of the day-including the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust, the civil rights era, the McCarthy era, and other turning points in American history. The fifty-two sermons in this book have been selected, introduced, and annotated by Marc Saperstein, whose award-winning books on the history of Jewish preaching have established him as a leading expert on this subject. No other book illustrates as effectively the value of the sermon as a resource for understanding the challenges faced by American Jews at some of the most dramatic moments in the turbulent history of this century.","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107386474736,"sku":"9780739162576","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780739162576_p0.jpg?v=1772804992","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780739162576","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
