EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Typed letter signed ("A Einstein") to Isaac Hirsch, Swanton, Md., 24 September 1946.
One page, 198 x 192mm (visible), matted and framed together with a typed letter from Otto Nathan, executor of the estate of Albert Einstein, New York, 12 March 1957, returning the Einstein letter to Isaac Hirsch.
Einstein declines an invitation to Rosh Hashanah services: "Despite being something like a Jewish saint I have been absent from a Synagogue for so long that I'm afraid God would not recognize me and if he would it would be worse." Hirsch, the President of the B'er Chayim Congregation in Cumberland, Maryland, had presumably invited Einstein to attend services for Rosh Hashanah on the evening of 25 September, as Einstein closes offering "best wishes for the holidays for you and your congregation".
A wonderfully humorous letter from the notoriously irreligious, and irreverent, Einstein.
