This collection of 78 memoir entries, written as a document for his family, offers personal glimpses of Nahum Glatzer (1903-1990) -- prolific scholar, Brandeis University professor, and editor of the Schocken publishing house. This text is divided into three sections, focusing on a wide range of his experiences. Anecdotal and often times humorous accounts of the many outstanding personalities Glatzer knew and interacted with (including two of the leading German-Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century Martin Buber and Franz Rosenweig) are included. Glatzer's travels from Bodenbach to Boston and from strict orthodoxy to more historical, cultural, and aesthetic understanding of Judaism reveal a sensitivity to his surroundings as well as his inner self. The final section presents a variety of Glatzer's experiences and expressions of faith, both personal and social. The events themselves become moments of religious psychology or theological insight.
