@andrewhermalyn Mr. Hermalyn, how can I reach you to discuss a possible partnership with 2U and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a premier research think tank in Washington. Thanks. My email is [email protected].
“Judaism stands for something more than just self-love and self-worship. It stands for bringing a message of justice and humanity to all of humanity,” says Steven Weisman, author of “The Chosen Wars” https://t.co/vexapVLfwk
@Gigianders@nytimes Wise is a major figure in the book. The director of the American Jewish Archives, where Wise's papers are located, was a major help in my research on him. They are not responsible for the book's conclusions, of course.
@Gigianders@nytimes Ellenson's studies are cited in the book. It is a book of history not interviews, but I did seek out Eisen for help when I was researching the book.
@Gigianders@nytimes Eisen is identified correctly in the article and the book. Read Podhoretz's book "Why Are Jews Liberals"? It is an interesting take.
@Gigianders@nytimes My book covers the nineteenth century evolution of this idea. Scholars agree that the concept of "justice" in Scripture is different from the concept of "social justice" as it evolved then. Thanks.
@Gigianders@nytimes Thanks. Read my book for a more complete discussion of the debate over the Messiah in the nineteenth century. You might find this discussion aligns with your views.

@jpodhoretz John, I thoroughly read and enjoyed your father's book! He discussed the Jewish "enlightenment" but my book fills in the blanks. You should read it!
