Joseph KlausnerJoseph Klausner was a brilliant Jewish scholar born in Lithuania who emigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine. Although not an orthodox Jew his grasp of the Talmud, and Midrashic literature was remarkable. He earned his Ph.D. in Germany and wrote a book about Jesus of Nazareth, which was so informative that Herbert Danby, a Roman Catholic priest, translated the work from Hebrew into English so that English scholars might avail themselves of the information contained within this book. He took over the editorship of HaMeassef, by Ahad Ha'am and was also a candidate for the presidency of the state of Israel. He taught at the Hebrew University. In recognition of his scholarly achievements, the State of Israel issued a stamp with his picture on it. Klausner, Joseph Klausner, Joseph
