Hardcover. 278 pages, map, geneal. table. In English. SUBJECT(S): Rashi, 1040-1105. Liber, (1884-1956), was chief rabbi of France and a scholar. Born in Warsaw, Liber went to Paris with his parents at the age of four. He graduated from the Ecole Rabbinique de Paris in 1907 and began lecturing on Jewish history there. In 1911 he was appointed assistant to the chief rabbi of Paris, serving as an army chaplain and receiving the Croix de Guerre during World War I. In 1920 Liber became rabbi at the Rue de la Victoire synagogue, in 1921 lecturer in the history of rabbinic Judaism at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, and in 1927 succeeded his teacher Israel LMvi as professor. He was appointed director of religious education by the Paris Consistoire in 1930 and, two years later, head of the Ecole Rabbinique. In 1934 Liber was appointed chief rabbi of France par interim, to assist the aging Israël Lévi in his task. Under the German occupation of France during World War ii, he strove hard to safeguard the Ecole Rabbinique - which had been evacuated to unoccupied southern France - and the religious character of the Consistoire. He also strove to maintain some sort of Jewish education, both legal and underground" (EJ, Staff). Ex-library, good condition. (RAB-17-8)xxx.
