Using this Collection:
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver (1893-1963), a national and international leader of the Zionist movement, played a key role in events leading to the proclamation of the state of Israel. Silver served as a rabbi for forty-eight of his seventy years. His impressive speaking voice and compelling topics made his Sunday sermons extremely popular, and he was also in demand as a speaker and lecturer around the country. In addition, Rabbi Silver was active in social and political issues on a national level, within the state of Ohio, and in his adopted home of Cleveland, Ohio. Rabbi Silver was also a scholar who published seven books dealing with Jewish history and theology.
