Lithuanian-American pedagogue Tonya Levit (1904–1967) is a time witness of the history of the Jewish Diaspora in Lithuania, Germany, and the USA. Raised in a religious family in the midst of Vilnius, the 'Jerusalem of the North,' Levit earned her PhD at the University of Jena and, alongside her husband, Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik (1903–1993), she became the co-founder of a Modern Orthodox school for girls and boys in Boston. This edited volume contains the dissertation of Tonya Levit on the little-known history of Jewish education in Poland, which was published in 1931. The reprint of this work is accompanied by a chapter on Levit's student days in Jena, a biography written by her daughter, Tovah Lichtenstein, and an appreciation of her life's work by State Rabbi Zsolt Balla, who is a member of the board of the Orthodox Rabbinical Conference of Germany (ORD). With a biographical contribution by Tovah Lichtensteinweiterlesen
