Dear Friends:
Schoen Books is honored to be distributing the new book by Professor
Moshe Carmilly Weinberger entitled On Three Continents -an Autobiography.
In the book Professor Weinberger describes his childhood in
Transylvania, studies in a typical Hungarian yeshiva, then his
experiences at the Rabbinical Seminaries in Budapest and Breslau. He
is one of the few remaining scholars who can give a first hand
account of the glory days of these two venerable institutions and the
great teachers and personalities who taught there, such as Ludwig
Blau, Simon Hevesi, Michael Guttmann, Arnold Kiss, etc. His vivid
recollections of these two institutions bring back to life the
pre-Holocaust world in a way that no mere academic treatise can. The
chapters on his tenure as Chief Rabbi of the Neolog community in
Cluj-Kolozsvar in Transylvania (from the mid1930's to 1944) are also
a lively, fascinating and at times dramatic portrait of a vanished
world. The anguish of the Holocaust, his remarkable journey to
Palestine amidst the ruins of war-torn Romania and his subsequent
experiences in pre-state Israel and his career in the Israeli
diplomatic service as envoy to Budapest also make for gripping,
exciting reading. His book is also an account of his life up to and
including his visit to China circa. 1980's (he & late wife were on
the first organized Jewish tour to China.)
