The Rabbi With The Ink Stained Hands
The story of the stubborn Rabbi David Einhorn and his creaky, noisy, printing press in a Baltimore synagogue. "The Sinai" was published for a long time, but the congregation came to feel that printing the newspaper in a filthy cellar was not suitable to the dignity of the Rabbinate. Oh yes, there were still pro-slavery members of the congregation. After-drama speaker: Louis Shefford, Chairman of The Board of Temple Israel of Wilkes-Barre and President of The Wyoming Valley Community Chest (speaking from Wilkes-Barre). A well-written and very-well performed radio drama. The last show of the season. The next ten weeks will feature, "The Words We Live By," with "The Eternal Light" returning to the air on September 30, 1956. This script was subsequently produced on "The Eternal Light" on December 4, 1960 (see cat. #112487) and November 10, 1963 (see cat. #112607). This recording (June 24, 1956 was re-broadcast on January 7, 1962).

The Eternal Light was an American radio and television program on the NBC Radio Network, produced in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary, that was broadcast between 1944 and 1989. Featuring interviews, commentary, and award-winning dramas from the perspective of Judaism, it began on radio in 1944 and continued as a weekly radio program through 1989. A 1946 program, for example, dramatized humanitarian Lillian Wald's founding of New York City's Henry Street Settlement in 1895. The May 31, 1959, program featured a tour of the Holy Land narrated by Ralph Bellamy.
