Description: This hardcover vintage book is in really good condition. The cover shows its age but the book is solid. Portraits Etched in Stone is a story of the early Jewish settlers from 1682, until 1831. About the author: David de Sola Pool (Hebrew: 1885–1970) was a British-born American rabbi, scholar, author, and civic leader. He is considered to be the leading 20th-century Sephardic rabbi in the United States and a world leader of Judaism. De Sola Pool translated and edited the Sephardic prayer book for the Union of Sephardic Congregations in 1954,[5] and the Ashkenazic prayer book for the Rabbinical Council of America.[6] These prayerbooks are still in use in congregations around the world. His book The Kaddish (1909, third printing 1964), based on his dissertation, remains a definitive and well-regarded work on the origins of the Kaddish prayer.[citation needed] De Sola Pool wrote several important books about Jewish history in Colonial America including Portraits Etched In Stone — Early Jewish Settlers, 1682–1831 (1952) and together with his wife, Tamar de Sola Pool, An Old Faith in the New World — Portrait of Shearith Israel, 1654–1954 (1955). He co-authored with his wife, Tamar de Sola Pool, Is There An Answer: An Inquiry into Some Human Dilemmas (1966). They also co-edited the Parenzo Haggadah for Passover (1951, 1975). De Sola Pool edited the prayerbooks used for the United States Armed Forces. He also wrote a book, Why I am a Jew (1957), part of a series written by leading clerical figures, which remains a supremely well-written introduction to Judaism.[7] (From Wikipedia.)
