Biografia breu
Trude Weiss was the daughter of a German-Jewish family in Frankfurt-am-Main. Her father was a successful wine merchant. As a girl, Trude joined the Blau-Weiss, the German Zionist youth movement, and studied at the Zionist Hebrew school. She left home briefly to live on a training farm near Berlin that prepared young people for agricultural life in Palestine, but caught pneumonia and had to give up those plans. At age 17, she created a Hebrew-language school in Duisburg. After high school, she enrolled first at the University of Berlin, and then at Leipzig. At age 22, she completed a PhD degree in Semitics, archaeology, and philosophy at the University of Würzburg. Her thesis on ancient Arab history was later published as The Mention of the Arabs in Assyrian-Babylonian Texts.
She married Aaron Rosmarin, a Russian Jewish scholar who was an American citizen, and they emigrated to the USA in 1931, settling in New York City. The couple had one son and divorced in 1951. Trude later married Nissim Sevan, but continued to use the name Trude Weiss-Rosmarin. She was passionately committed to Jewish culture and expressed strong and often provocative opinions. She felt Jewish girls and women were at a disadvantage because they were not given a good Jewish education, and she wanted to remedy this with adult education. She and her husband established the School of the Jewish Woman in 1933, originally under the auspices of Hadassah. Out of the school's newsletter, she developed the Jewish Spectator, designed to appeal especially to women. Trude Weiss-Rosmarin used her writing to become one of the foremost Jewish intellectuals of 20th-century USA. She was a dynamic speaker who became a popular lecturer at synagogues and Jewish centers across the USA.
Besides the Jewish Spectator, Trude Weiss-Rosmarin also wrote regularly for the London Jewish Chronicle and published books on a variety of subjects. She served as national co-chair of education for the Zionist Organization of America. She taught for periods at New York University and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia.

Judaism and Christianity: The Differences makes a clear distinction between the two religions, despite that one claims to be a fulfillment of the other. The most substantial contribution of the book is that through exploring the differences, it reveals the anti-Judaism rhetoric initially presented in the New Testament and propagated and expanded upon by church fathers, theologians, and clerics, that so much of the populace of western civilization has been exposed to throughout time.
