Description: "Affirming the Covenant tells many stories: the German Jews who founded B'rith Kodesh as a small orthodox shule in 1848, and the rise of radical Reform Judaism in the congregation. In subsequent generations, others found their voices in B'rith Kodesh; women, Eastern European Jews, Zionists, and social activists. This history includes extraordinary individuals who have been a part of Temple B'rith Kodesh; Isaac Mayer Wise, Susan B. Anthony, William Warfield and Stephen S. Wise."--BOOK JACKET.

"The most significant history of Rochester Jewry in almost fifty years, Affirming the Covenant tells its story through extensive excerpts from sermons, archival documents, and never-before published photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
