Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. 168 pages. 21 x 14 cm. Front blank detached. Top front hinge exposed. Michael Higger (January 6, 1898, Raguva, near Kovno, Lithuania - November 22, 1952, New York, NY) was a Talmudic scholar who received a traditional education in Lithuania, and after immigrating to the United States in 1915, studied at New York and Columbia universities and the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he was ordained. Higger devoted his life to the study of Jewish sources and their publication. He also served as a consultant to the law committee of the Rabbinical Assembly of America and was responsible for many of the decisions made by that body. His main contribution to Jewish scholarship is the editing of rabbinic texts with variant readings and introductions and the systematizing of various rabbinic writings. His early published works were devoted to the non-canonical tractates, including Massekhtot Ze'irot (1929), Sheva Massekhtot Ketannot (1930), Massekhet Semakhot (1931), Massekhet Kallah (1936), all with introductions, notes, and variant readings. Higger's major work was Ozar ha-Beraitot (10 vols., 1930-1950). In this work he collected and annotated all of the beraitot and the non-Mishnaic, tannaitic statements found in the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, both in the printed and manuscript editions of the Talmud. Included are about 10,000 beraitot annotated, with variants, and classified according to form and provenance. This monumental work is a standard source for Talmudic students. In addition, Higger contributed many articles to learned journals and edited Yar?i's commentary on Kallah Rabbati (1934). He wrote Intention in Jewish Law (1927) and Jewish Utopia (1932), a reconstruction of the rabbinic ideal society.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by author to his friend Dr. H. Zaks atop front free endpaper. In his 1957 book "The Ultimate Order - As Pictured in 'The Jewish Utopia'" Robert H. Williams claims Higger's book provides "the complete plans of the Zionists, in their own words, for world domination." One online critic goes so far as to equate this work to Zionism's Mein Kampf. "The peoples of the world will be divided into two main groups, the Israelitic and the non-Israelitic. The former will be righteous; they will live in accordance with the wishes of one, universal God; they will be thirsty for knowledge, and willing, even to the point of martyrdom, to spread ethical truths to the world. All the other peoples, on the other hand, will be known for their detestable practices, idolatry, and similar acts of wickedness. They will be destroyed and will disappear from the earth before the ushering in of the ideal era." - p. 37. Rabbi Michael Higger (1898-1952) was a Lithuanian-born Talmudic scholar who moved to the U.S. in 1915.
