Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press. Rabbi and Community in the Pale By Mordechai Zelkin<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Mordechai+Zelkin.aspx?name=Mordechai+Zelkin> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5069]
The heroes of this book are the rabbis of small and medium-sized communities in Eastern Europe. Who were these rabbis? What were their training processes? Did they get their job because of their scholastic or rhetorical skills, because of their family ties, or because they had the capital to buy this position? Did they win "permanence" or was the threat of dismissal constantly hovering over their heads? How were their terms of employment and wages determined, and what was their economic situation? Were they perceived as spiritual leaders? What was their relationship with the community's power centers? How did they navigate between their duties as halakhic authorities and their desire to engage in learning and teaching? The book attempts to answer these questions based on an examination of the world of over a thousand rabbis.
