" We are delighted to offer this second volume of Joseph H. Gumbiner's biographical sketches to our readers. First published in an experimental edition, his work found sufficiently wide acceptance to warrant its reproduction in this more permanent form. Rabbi Gumbiner writes well, and his work reflects his great love for our people and the depth of his faith. "

" We tell these stories to our children to give them knowledge concerning the lives of our great men in the hope that this knowledge will secure their self-acceptance, that it will nourish their determination to be Jews, and that - above all - it will awaken their awareness of the God Who shapes the destiny of Israel. "
