This volume contains some one hundred previously unknown and mostly
unpublished responsa written by Professor Ginzberg between 1913 and
1953. They deal with a wide array of topics including changes in
the liturgy, mixed pews in the synagogue, the use of grape juice
during Prohibition, art in the synagogue, euthenasia, burial
practices, and artificial insemination, as well as forceful
responsa to anti-Semites such as Pranaitis, the "expert" witness at
the Beiliss trial in Kiev in 1913. These responsa contribute much
to our understanding of Ginzberg's approach to Jewish law, his
biography, the history of Conservative halakhah, and the history of
American Jewry in the first half of the twentieth century. But,
above all. the provide us with a model of a leading Talmudic
scholar who did not hide in his ivory tower but rather came down to
his people and guided it through the complicated halakhic problems
of modern times.
