(Jt) Enelow, H. G : THE FAITH OF ISRAEL: A GUIDE FOR CONFIRMATION

Cincinnati, Ohio: The Union of American Hebrew Congregations, 1917. Cloth. 8vo. 94 pages. "A U. S. Reform rabbi, scholar, and writer, Enelow was born in Kovno, Lithuania and went to the U. S. As a youth, and was ordained by Hebrew Union College in 1898. Enelow served as rabbi of Temple Israel, Paducah, Kentucky (1898-1901) , Temple Adath Israel, Louisville, Kentucky (1901-12) , and Temple Emanuel, New York (1912-34) . During World War I, Enelow served in France with the Jewish Welfare Board. He was vice-president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (1925-27) , its president (1927-29) , and a member of both the American Historical Society and the Jewish Historical Society of America. He was instrumental in having chairs for Jewish studies established at Harvard (with the aid of his friend Lucius Littauer) and Columbia (aided by Mrs. Nathan Miller) . Enelow's four-volume edition of Israel Al-Nakawa's Menorat ha-Ma'or (1929-32) was an important contribution to Jewish scholarship. His thesis that this work served as the model for Isaac Aboab's work of the same name was widely discussed though not universally accepted. Of equal importance is Enelow's edition of Mishnat Eliezer (or Midrash of 32 Hermeneutic Rules, with an English introduction and full apparatus, 1933) . A collection of manuscripts was presented in his memory to the Jewish Theological Seminary, New York, by his friend Mrs. Nathan Miller. His private library of over 20, 000 volumes was also willed to the Seminary" (EJ) . SUBJECT(S) : Judaism-Study and Teaching; Confirmation (Jewish Rite) -Instruction and Study.
