Group of [9] Books by Rabbi Gedaliah Silverstone Bound Together. Washington, D. C., 1910-1918
Nine books dealing with sermons, comprised of dozens of sermons delivered by Rabbi Silverstone at various events: holidays, celebrations, eulogies and more. Separate title pages.
* Beit Meir, Parts I-III. 1910-1913.
* Peninim Yekarim, Parts I-III. 1915-1916.
* Matok MiDavash, Parts I-III. 1917-1918.
We note that Matok MiDavash Part III (pp. 30) contains Rabbi Silverstone's eulogy for Theodor Herzl: "Who can compare to him among all the leaders we have had in the past years?"
Rabbi Gedaliah Silverstone [1871-1944] was a rabbi in Washington, D. C., and a prolific writer. He was rabbinically ordained by Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Reines and others. He served as rabbi in Belfast and then immigrated to the United States and became the first Orthodox rabbi in Washington, D. C. He served as rabbi of the Ohev Shalom community there and the Kesher Yisrael community in Georgetown. He authored 34 books; most of his books were books of sermons, as he reasoned that these books were aimed at the taste of his congregation, who were far from the world of Torah study. In his final years, he fulfilled his dream and ascended to the Land of Israel, resided in Jerusalem and was interred in the Mount of Olives.
