His magnum opus is the World History of the Jewish people. In 1941, Dubnow was among thousands of Jews from Riga ghetto murdered in the Rumbula massacre.

Together with Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, he was a founding adviser to a lecture series that became the Young Israel movement of Modern Orthodox Judaism, as well as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bureau of Education of the NYC Jewish community. He was on the Governing Board of the Intercollegiate Menorah Society, the Executive Committee of Bureau of Education of the N.Y.C. Jewish Community, and the Executive Committee of the American Zionists Federation. In 1920, Friedlander traveled to Poland from the American Joint Distribution Committee to distribute $35 million to starving Jews in Poland and Ukraine, but on July 5, Rabbis Friedlander and Bernard Cantor were murdered by the Red Army in Kamenetz-Podolsk, Ukraine.
