Petuchowski, PhD (z"l) (1925–1991) was raised in Berlin, the grandson of an Orthodox rabbi and a member of an Orthodox community until age fourteen, when he escaped the Nazis on one of the last transports rescuing Jewish children. After a brief stay in England, he moved to the United States, and attended the Hebrew Union College, where he was ordained, earned a PhD and served as faculty member instructing generations of students in liturgy, rabbinics, and theology. He wrote or edited over thirty books, including the classic treatment of prayer book reform in Europe.view less
