The very fact that the Moscow rabbi was in the U.S. trying to "establish contact" with U.S. Jewry suggests that some of the charges of anti-Semitism were...
...interests of a glib and narrow philosophy." Of his stay in prerevolutionary China in 1920-21, he writes: "It must be said that bad government seems somewhat less disastrous in China than it would be in a European nation, but this is perhaps a superficial impression which time may correct...
