Biographical History | Baruch Braunstein (1906-1991) was a native of Pennsylvania and a rabbi, teacher, scholar, and radio narrator. Braunstein had pulpits in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey and taught in a variety of universities at home and abroad. He directed a radio program called the "World Affairs Forum of the Air." His writings appeared in many magazines and newspapers and he was a sought-after lecturer. He was also a scholar of the Inquisition and, in 1936, published "The Chuetas of Majorca: Conversos and the Inquisition of Majorca." This collection of documents was purchased by Braunstein during the course of his research for this book. | |
