Of interest is that these books belonged to Rabbi Samuel Teitelbaum of the Jewish Institute of Religion. He is not famous, per se, but I was able to find a brief bio of him in a Google Books online paragraph in a book titled, \"The Quiet Voices: Southern Rabbis and Black Civil Rights, 1880s to 1990s\",edited by Mark K. Bauman, Berkley Kalin published in 1997. The paragraph reads, \"Rabbi Samuel Teitelbaum was born in Galicia, Austria-Hungary, in 1900 and, like Rabbi Frisch, was brought to America by his parents when he was eight years old. The family settled in St. Louis, where young Samuel attended public school as well as a talmudic yeshiva. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Harvard University in 1922, spent one year at Washington University Medical School, and in 1927 was graduated with a master\'s degree in Hebrew literature from the Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. Immediately after his graduation he began to serve the United Hebrew Congregation of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and remained there until entering the U.S. Army as a chaplain in 1942.\"
