Editor's Introduction to v43(1).

We open this issue with a tribute to a former member of Contemporary Jewry's Editorial Board, a recipient of the 2009 Marshall Sklare Award for scholarly achievement in the field of the social scientific study of contemporary Jewry, and a serious, thoughtful, and thought-provoking colleague: Professor Charles Kadushin z'l. Many of us read translated work without thinking twice about the work that has gone into its selection and the care regarding what parts of the work are translated for particular audiences and what terminology is used in that translation. Leonard Saxe has written a moving, comprehensive, and personal tribute to Kadushin, with whom Saxe had a long-standing personal and professional relationship. [Extracted from the article]
