This collection is about various topics in Jewish Studies by one of the greatest scholars of the previous century. The subjects span the whole length and breadth of Jewish history and literature, from 'A Hoard of Hebrew Manuscripts in Judaism' to 'The Dogmas of Judaism', and from 'Safed in the Sixteenth Century' to 'Abraham Geiger-Leopold Zunz'. In Encyclopedia Judaica, Meir Ben-Horin says, "Schecter's Studies in Judaism remain indispensable documents of American Jewish religious Conservatism."
