Papers of a Wisconsin Reform rabbi whose Milwaukee rabbinical career at Temple Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun spanned the years 1926 to 1960. The collection documents his school years at Columbia University, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and Hebrew Union College from 1910 to 1920 and highlights the many achievements of his rabbinical career (1920-1960). The collection consists of seven major series: correspondence; diaries, minutes, proceedings; literary productions; subject files; miscellany; biographical material; and scrapbook material. The largest, the correspondence series, spans the years 1910 to 1960 and includes correspondence with such luminaries as Archibald MacLeish, Sinclair Lewis, Carl Van Doren, Clifford Morehouse, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi David de Sola Pool, Louis Marshall, and Judge Charles L. Aarons.
