Adventures in Idealism Katharine Sabsovich

First published in 1922, Adventures in Idealism is the biography of H. L. Sabsovich, founder of Woodbine, New Jersey, and champion of Jewish farming in America. Driven to leave anti-Semitic Russia, Sabsovich arrived in the U. S. with his family and a deep belief in the power of agriculture to provide healthy, meaningful and rewarding lives for Russian Jews. Throughout his career, H. L. Sabsovich was kind and just and compulsively trustworthy. He worked incessantly to build community and to correct social ills where he could. His patriotism, which flowed from opportunities offered by his adopted homeland, was often on display. This is a story of one man's public-spiritedness and his drive to uplift the lives of people in need. Republished with a new foreword, afterword and additional historic photos of early Woodbine.
