About S. Andhil Fineberg
Solomon Andhil Fineberg (1896–1990) was a U.S. rabbi, author, and communal leader born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ordained in 1920 after studying at the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College, he served rabbinates in Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, White Plains, and Mt. Vernon, NY, before joining the American Jewish Committee in 1939 as national community relations consultant, pioneering techniques to combat antisemitism; he later consulted for the National Conference of Christians and Jews until 1981. His notable nonfiction works include Overcoming Antisemitism (1943), Punishment without Crime (1949), and The Rosenberg Case (1953), focusing on prejudice, human relations, and Jewish issues.Encyclopedia.com, American Jewish Archives
