From Kirkus Reviews: 'A remarkable look into the private sorrow of a public woman in what she called the "dark chronicle of a broken heart." It is a story with all the elements of a great melodrama: the spurned love of an older woman for a younger man who appears to court her, then suddenly becomes engaged to a much younger woman; gossip and scandal in a closed social milieu; and a final, shocking revelation about the man in question, a scholar and leader in the community. It is the true story of Henrietta Szold, the American Jewish Zionist who founded the women's organization Hadassah, and Dr. Lous Ginzberg, one of the first faculty members of the Jewish Theological Seminary, in the early years of this century. And as related here in Szold's own journal, written after the events in an attempt to "prove to myself that I was not a fool, that I may again respect myself," it becomes a powerful expression of passion aroused and thwarted late in a woman's life (Szold was in her 40s at the time, he was 13 years younger)--a woman previously dedicated to professional activity and intellectual pursuits. Having met Ginzberg at the seminary, Szold translated the lectures of the German-speaking scholar and ultimately, through her job with the Jewish Publication Society, became the editor and a translator on his classic work, Legends of the Jews. They took long walks in the park, he was an almost daily visitor at her home, and Szold was convinced he returned her love, until the fall of 1908, when Ginzberg returned from Europe to announce his engagement to a 21-year-old woman. This private journal records all the fluctuations in Szold's heart and mind as she tries to come to terms with the devastating loss. Shargel does a service in presenting this moving document, which turns the frozen image of an iconic figure in American Jewish history into a the full-blooded portrait of, as Szold describ'ed herself, a "woman with a great capacity for love."

It follows him through the six major turning points of his brief life: his choice of Semitics as the focus of his scholarly study, his joining the newly reorganized Jewish Theological Seminary, and his triumphs and disappointments in the academic and public arenas. It attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding his appointment during World War I to an abortive Red Cross Commission to Palestine, and the subsequent mission of mercy, which ended with his murder. Friedlaender was trained as a philologist, and taught Bible and Jewish history, but he achieved prominence as a transmitter of the thoughts of Ahad Ha'am and Dubnow to a new American audience. Almost alone among the European~trained academics of his generation, he also participated energetically in Jewish communal affairs in such diverse fields as Jewish education, Zionist politics, Conservative apologetics, and the Americanization of the new immigrants. It was this ardent devotion to his fellow Jews that led to his untimely death.
