8vo, xxiii, 589 pp, publisher's original wrappers, biblio., index, second impression with postscript, reprint series No 1, copy in very good condition. Driven by a strong sense of duty and anxious to preserve the spirituality and universality of Judaism, Moshe Menuhin decided to record his conclusions in his book the Decadence of Judaism in Our Time. As expected, the book stirred up much excitement in the United States and in the world in general. A protest against the identification of Judaism withe Zionism, Moshe Mehuhim's wok propounds the heme that Judaism as a faith must not be equated with a national movement. Any indiscriminate mixture of the two can result only in the corruption and decay of Judaism. At the request of the Institute for Palestine Studies the author has kindly given his permission for the Decadence of Judaism in Our Time to be reprinted, and specially written a postscript covering developments between 1965, when the book was first published, and March 1969. This Postscript is also appearing as a separate volume.
