Jacob J. Weinstein was rabbi of K.A.M. Temple in Chicago, one of the oldest Reform congregations in the American Midwest. The title comes from the Book of Job, which asks where wisdom is found and where is the place of understanding. The book follows the Torah reading and the holidays through a full year.
