Other important basic titles include R.S.R. Hirsch’s Horeb, and his Nineteen Letters of Ben Uziel and R. Zwi Hirsch Chajes’ Mavo HaTalmud and his Darkei haHora’ah. For a nice portrait of inter war American Orhthodoxy, I suggest Jenna Weisman Joselit’s New York’s Jewish Jews as well as Gurock & Schachter A Modern Day Heretic, a biography of Mordecai Kaplan. I’ll post other titles and they pop into my head.
