Emet le-Ya‘akov comprises a collection of essays celebrating the achievements of Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter. These articles, like the honoree, engage with the importance of both history and memory and are divided into three categories: Textual Traditions, Memory and Making of Meaning, and (Re)Creating a Usable Past.

Emet le-Ya‘akov comprises a collection of essays celebrating the career and achievements of Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, who has served the American and international Jewish community with distinction in his roles as a synagogue rabbi, university professor, and public intellectual. These articles, like the honoree, recognize the importance of both history and memory, emphasize the necessity of accuracy in historiography, and do not shy away from inconvenient truths. They are divided into three categories that help frame the discussion around “facing the truths of history”: Textual Traditions, Memory and Making of Meaning, and (Re)Creating a Usable Past. The volume also includes a brief sketch of Schacter’s life and work and a bibliography of his publications.
