About the Author

David Philipson (1862-1949) was born to German-Jewish immigrants in Wabash, Indiana. Ordained as a Reform rabbi in 1883, he fought anti-Semitism, imperialism, and corruption in politics. He was equally active within the Jewish community and in secular affairs. His writings include The Union Prayer Book (1892) and The Reform Movement in Judaism (1907).
