Re: [ha-Safran] Steven Lowenstein, z”l, posthumous publication - correction!

2023-05-22 Thread Kiron, Arthur via Hasafran 

Everyone - apologies!  I mis-transcribed Prof. Michael Berenbaum’s affiliation. 
 He is at the American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism) 
in Los Angeles (NOT “the American University).

See below for a corrected version.

Again, my apologies for this error and for any misunderstanding I’ve caused.

Be well,

Arthur

Everyone,

I would like to call to your attention to a posthumously published work of the 
late scholar Steven Mark Lowenstein, the Isadore Levine Professor of Jewish 
History at the American Jewish University in Los Angeles, entitled: The 
Population History of German Jewry, 1815-1939: Based on the Collections and 
Preliminary Research of Prof. Usiel Schmelz (Academic Studies Press, 2023), 
which just appeared.

It was completed as a labor love by David. N. Myers, the Sady and Ludwig Kahn 
Chair in Jewish History at UCLA, and Michael Berenbaum, the Director of the 
Sigi Ziering Institute and Professor of Jewish Studies at the American Jewish 
University, who edited and introduce the book, which they call “the definitive 
demographic history of German Jewry.”

See below for the publication notice and here

for more information about the importance of this inspiring work of 
intergenerational scholarship.
