Lithuanian-American pedagogue Tonya Levit (1904-1967) is a time witness of the history of the Jewish Diaspora in Lithuania, Germany, and the USA. Raised in a religious family in the midst of Vilnius, the 'Jerusalem of the North,' Levit earned her PhD at the University of Jena and, alongside her husband, Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik (1903-1993), she became the co-founder of a Modern Orthodox school for girls and boys in Boston. This edited volume contains the dissertation of Tonya Levit on the little-known history of Jewish education in Poland, which was published in 1931. The reprint of this work is accompanied by a chapter on Levit's student days in Jena, a biography written by her daughter, Tovah Lichtenstein, and an appreciation of her life's work by State Rabbi Zsolt Balla, who is a member of the board of the Orthodox Rabbinical Conference of Germany (ORD).
With a biographical contribution by Tovah Lichtenstein
