Solomon Schechter departed England in the spring of 1902 to become president of the reorganised Jewish Theological Seminary of America. His post as Reader in Rabbinic and Talmudic Literature at Cambridge University was taken up by 44-year-old Israel Abrahams who remained at the post until his demise at age sixty-seven. Israel Abrahams hailed from a distinguished pedigree. His father Barnett Abrahams served as a Principal of Jews’ College but died from rheumatic fever before his thirty-third birthday. Israel’s mother, born Jane Rodrigues Brandon, traced her family tree to fugitives from the Spanish Inquisition
