JOSEPH BLUMENTHAL,
President,
151 EAST 73D STREET.
Jewish Theological Seminary Association.
New York, Jan. 14 1891
Rev. Dr. S. Morais
Dear Dr.
At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees of the J. T. S. A., a committee on Lectures was appointed of which I [?] the lead to be chairman. Whatever we may do in the summer, I would like to have arranged a course of lectures to be given from February to May. I have some ideas running through my mind, that I would like to consult you about before submitting them to the committee for formal action.
I would suggest one course on the education and training of a Rabbi outside of his Hebrew & theological studies. The following subjects for instance have occurred to me;
The pulpit and Political science--By Prof. E. R. G. Seligman.
The pulpit and Philanthropy--By Chas. D. Kellogg--Gen sec'y N. Y. Charity Organiza. Soc.
The secular education of the minister--Hon Seth Low, Pres. Columbia College
The minister as preacher--By J. P. Solomon (?)
The Rabbi in the sunday school--By Morris S. Wise, supt. Bne Jeshurun sunday school.
The Rabbi in his personal relations with the people--Sol. Kohn (New York
Then I would add to the list or intersperse with these
lectures something like the followinf;
Jewish numismatics--By David L. Walter, V. Pres. N. Y. Numismatic Soc. & collector of Jewish coins and medals.
The Jeshibah of old & the seminary of today--S. M. Roeder
What are Amer. institutions?--By Hon. Oscar S. Strong who you know has publ. a work showing the O. T. to be the source of Amer. institutions.
Of course whatever the course, you as Pres. of the Faculty will be expected to open it, if you will accept the labor of preparing & delivering it, & I will not presume even to suggest a subject.
If we can succeed in securing all these speakers or efficient substitutes we will have a course of ten lectures that will about cover the ground of even if given weekly.
I trust you will write to me in the fullest candor, expression of your opinions either of the course as a whole or the single subjects, or the speakers suggested.
The lectures of course are to be open to the public. Dates time of day & day of week & place, are all yet to be decided. The other members of the Com. are Messrs. D. P. Hays and Newman Cowen.
Hoping to hear from you at an early day, I beg to remain Yours very respectfully Max Cohen 18 E 91' Str. - Identifier
