William B. Helmreich

American sociologist (–)

William Helmreich (August 25, – March 28, ) was a Swiss-born American professor of sociology at the City College of New YorkColin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.[1] He was also a published author.[2][3][4]

Helmreich was a distinguished professor at the City University of New York,[4] who specialized in race and ethnic relations, religion, immigration, risk behavior, the sociology of New York City, urban sociology, consumer behavior, and market research.

Early life

Helmreich was born in in Zürich, Switzerland,[5][6] the son of Holocaust survivor parents.[7] In , he was brought to the US as an infant,[8][3] and grew up in New York City on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.[9] He studied in the Ner Yisroel and Kamenitz Yeshivas.[10]

Career

Helmreich wrote about his early years in a book he named "Wake Up, Wake Up, to Do the Work of the Creator" (a phrase, spoken in Yiddish, by those who went house-to-house to awaken worshippers for daily prayer).[11]

When asked about recordings of "many of the famous roshei Yeshiva of yesteryear" whom he interviewed, "Do you still have the recordings?" he replied "At one time I thought I did, but it seems that all I have are the transcripts." These he donated to his alma mater,[12]Yeshiva University.[13][14][15]
