"Who, after all, was Morris Adler," asks Lily Edelman in her sensitive introduction to this volume of the rabbi's best articles, "that fifteen thousand mourners ~ Jew and Gentile, Negro and white, leader and led, worker and employer, religionist and nonbeliever ~ should have converged, from near and far, on the Detroit suburb of Southfield on March 13, 1966, to pay their last respects? What manner of man was he that so many should continue to remember?" He was a man who earned two doctoral degrees during his lifetime, and one posthumously. He was a man who held innumerable high communal offices. He was a man frequently called upon by national and state bodies to speak on matters of church and state, interfaith and intergroup relations. Ultimately, he was a man of vital, broad, and temperate character, a man intimately concerned with each individual he met no less than with the largest issues of our day. Fortunately, Rabbi Adler literally loved words, so that these articles, sensitively collected by his widow, Goldie Adler, and Lily Edelman, Director of the Commission on Adult Jewish Education of the B'nai B'rith, are an enduring record of this truly great spiritual leader. There are forthright statements on civil rights, freedom, war, peace, death, Jewish culture, anti~Semitism; some marvelously witty and whimsical pieces on "the human comedy"; warm tributes to great men in American and Jewish affairs; and eloquent delineations of his role as rabbi. MAY I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU? glows with the warmth, commitment, and wisdom that made Rabbi Morris Adler so beloved and respected by so many thousands across the whole United States. It is filled with a rare and remarkable humanity, a humanity that endured to the very last moments of Rabbi Adler's life.…
