Foreword
Dr. Levi A. Olan, one of Temple Emanu-El's most beloved and erudite rabbis, once devoted a radio sermon to the question "Does History Teach Us Anything?" His answer was unequivocala resounding 'yes'and he focused on three of its most significant lessons. First, he explained, "history must be read so that we may learn from the experience of generations who struggled and suffered. If we truly remember them, we can avoid making the same mistakes." Second, ''history must be read so that we may recognize that this heritage of our life was bought and paid for by our fathers of yesterday at a great cost and sacrifice. We ought not to treat it scornfully. Finally," he concluded, "history ought to be read so that we may take hope that the future is not in our hands alone. There is God whose purpose and plan we only help to fulfill."1
