Excerpt from A Jewish Interpretation of the Book of Genesis The two publics which this book now seeks to reach are those of the professional Jewish religious school teacher, whose main concern is to learn as much of the subject as possible, in order to be able in turn to impart instruction with greater efficiency and authority, and the non - professional Jewish Bible student, whose thirst for knowledge and whose Jewish loyalty and interest impel him to seek greater knowl edge of Judaism for himself. I trust that this explanation of how this book came to serve these two publics may oh viafe what might otherwise perplex and confuse, and that it may incline both publics to forbearance in their judgment of the book and patience in its use.
