This collection of book reviews examines four significant works in Jewish studies, spanning historical, political, and literary scholarship. The reviews analyze methodological approaches and key findings across diverse areas of Jewish intellectual and cultural life. Yehoshafat Harkabi's "Arab Attitudes Toward Israel" receives praise for its comprehensive analysis of Arab ideology and rhetoric, based on the author's military intelligence background, though critiqued for insufficient refutation of problematic Arab sources. Simon Rawidowicz's posthumously published "Studies in Jewish Thought" is examined for its philosophical framework distinguishing First and Second Temple periods, with particular attention to essays on Mendelssohn and Krochmal that challenge conventional scholarly interpretations. Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg's "Voices from the Yiddish" is evaluated as a valuable anthology making Yiddish literary culture accessible to English readers, though noted for its superficial introduction and missing scholarly apparatus. Herman Pollack's "Jewish Folkways in Germanic Lands" is recognized for pioneering social-historical methodology that examines religious practices from the perspective of ordinary Jews rather than rabbinic authorities. The reviews collectively demonstrate the evolution of Jewish historiography from elite-focused to social-historical approaches, while highlighting both the scholarly contributions and methodological limitations of each work. These assessments reveal the ongoing tension between academic objectivity and cultural preservation in Jewish studies scholarship.
