Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Set against the backdrop of Enlightenment Europe, Step by Step dramatizes the early life of Moses Mendelssohn, a Jewish youth whose thirst for knowledge challenges social and religious barriers. The narrative follows his personal and intellectual struggles as he rises from obscurity to become a pioneering philosopher and advocate for religious tolerance. Through vivid scenes of urban hardship and quiet moments of reflection, the story captures the emergence of a mind that would go on to influence both Jewish thought and European ideals of liberty, reason, and coexistence.Abram S. Isaacs (1851-1920) was a prominent 19th-century Jewish-American writer, educator, and rabbi whose work explored themes of faith, cultural identity, and social integration. He contributed significantly to the intellectual life of American Jewry through essays, historical writings, and fiction that promoted understanding between Jewish and Christian communities. His literary output often reflected the challenges and aspirations of Jewish immigrants navigating a new world while preserving their heritage.
