Moses Rischin (1925-2020^[1]) was an American historian, author, lecturer, editor, and emeritus professor of history at San Francisco State University.^[2]^[3] He coined the phrase new Mormon history in a 1969 article of the same name.^[4]

Rischin is considered an authority on American ethnic and immigration history^[5]^[6] and a pioneer in the field of American Jewish history.^[7] Historian Selma Berrol, however, has challenged the minimal treatment Rischin has given to the tensions between earlier German Jews and later Russian Jews in America.^[8]

Biography

Rischin was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City.^[1] His undergraduate studies were at Brooklyn College.^[9] Harvard University awarded him a Ph.D. in 1957.^[10]

Ruschin became a professor at San Francisco State University in 1964.^[11] In addition to his professorship, he sat on the board for the Journal of American Ethnic History and on the council of the American Jewish History Society.^[12]^[13] During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Rischin was a signatory of "Historians in Defense of the Constitution" wherein 400 historians criticized efforts to impeach President Bill Clinton.^[14]^[15]

He was the longtime director of the Western Jewish History Center, at the Judah L. Magnes Museum, from its founding in 1967;^[16]^[17] from 2005 until approximately 2010, an annual lecture was given there in his name.^[18]

A collection of historical essays was published in Rischin's honor in 1996.^[19]

A character in the 1967 novel Meyer Meyer by Helen Hudson may have been partly modeled after him.^[20]
