RP003 Magnes Website The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) PRIVATE COLLECTION JUDAH L. MAGNES – P 3 Introduction Judah Leib Magnes was born in San Francisco in July 1877 and died in New York in October 1948, while on a visit to the United States. Both in America and in Israel (then Palestine), where he settled in 1922, he was active in many spheres of Jewish and general public life. A few of the official capacities in which he served were: assistant rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, New York; secretary and later vice president of the Federation of American Zionists; Chairman of the Executive Committee of the New York City "Kehillah"; Chancellor and later President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Chairman of the Hadassah Emergency Council in Palestine; Chairman of the Middle East Advisory Council of the JDC Distribution Committee (during W.W. II). Every phase of his activity is reflected in his papers, which, in addition to their biographical importance, contain source material of great value to scholars conducting research on a wealth of subjects not necessarily connected to Magnes himself. Magnes' papers were deposited at the Jewish Historical General Archives by his widow, Beatrice Magnes, and his sons, David and Jonathan, on a number of occasions. In 1955 Mrs. Magnes gave the files relating to Magnes' American years. In 1961 she transferred files relating to his activities in Palestine. Upon her death in 1969, her sons deposited personal material, through the courtesy of Professor Aryeh Goren. The collection was completed upon the transfer of various files held until 1977 by the Department of Manuscripts and Archives of the Jewish National and University Library. Most of the files from Magnes' American period bore record numbers which had been assigned by his office staff at the "Kehillah" in New York. They were arranged in consecutively numbered series, each bearing the letter F (F1, F2, F3…), in which the files, in turn, were labeled consecutively by a number and the letter L. They thus bore P 3 - Judah L. Magnes numbers such as F2-L21 or F48-L127. A supplementary number of files were numbered SP 1 to SP 321. All these files were kept in the offices of the "Kehillah" and its successors until 1935, when Magnes designated from a file index the files he wished sent to him. The remainder were destroyed. The files sent pertained not only to "Kehillah" matters but to Mages' personal affairs, as well as to many of his other public activities in America. In Jerusalem a list of these files was made, consisting of no more than the original numbers and the original file names (not always indicative of the files' actual contents). For a long time this list was the Magnes archives' primary finding aid. The original file index and Magnes' correspondence on dispatching the files to him are now located in filed P3/1653. The rest of Magnes' files bore only temporary numbers, assigned in the course of their classification. The Magnes papers were ultimately arranged in one continuity. All the original file numbers were discarded and the files were renumbered, consecutively, in the order of their appearance in the list. The entire collection was accorded the symbol P3 and the files designated P3/1 to P3/2679, respectively. A key matching the new and old numbers enables the identification of files already quoted under old numbers. It is available at the Central Archives. The final inventory has three main divisions: Personal – ranging from childhood to 1948; Public activity in the United States – ranging until 1922 (when Magnes left America); Public activity in Palestine – from 1922 until 1948. Each division, in turn, has chronologically arranged subdivisions. The subdivision relating to "Kehillah" work was placed at the end of the American period because these files were not Magnes' own files, but the actual files of the "Kehillah" office. As Magnes' personal and public lives were so intertwined with one another, the study of any particular aspect of his public life requires an examination of his personal correspondence for that period. The inventory was compiled in English, the predominant language of the files. Names are generally given as they appear in the files. Hebrew or Yiddish terms are placed in quotation marks. A partial index is to be found at the end. Subjects appearing in the table of contents are not repeated in the index; however, cross-references have been made to them in the inventory itself. The abbreviation "incl." is employed in file 2 2 P 3 - Judah L. Magnes descriptions to highlight items of special interest; the term "intus" indicates material not directly connected to the file's subject. A number of people took part in the completion of the inventory, among them, the late Mrs. Rachel Blumenthal, Mrs. Vera Praussnitz, Eli Mizrachi and Robert Fisher. Among the many publications and exhibitions based on the Magnes papers are: Norman Bentwich, For Zion's Sake A Biography of Judah L. Magnes, Philadelphia, 1954. Arthur A. Goren, New York Jews and the Quest for Community, New York, 1970. Judah Leib Magnes on the Centenary of his Birth, catalog of an exhibition in the Jewish National and University Library, Jerusalem, 1977. Jerusalem, December 1978, Hadassah Assouline In the ensuing years, a number of books about Magnes have been published, among them: Like all the Nations?: The Life and Legacy of Judah L. Magnes, edited by William M. Brinner and Moses Rischin, 1987 Dissenter in Zion, Arthur A. Goren, editor, 1982 From "Brit Shalom" to "Ichud": Judah Leib Magnes and the Struggle for a binational state in Palestine, Joseph Heller, 2003 Judah L.

  • The Oberlin Near East Study Collection in Context Julian Hirsch
    1 The Oberlin Near East Study Collection in Context *See page 4 for citation. Julian Hirsch 2 Acknowledgements In some ways the groundwork for my thesis and work on the ONESC Initiative began more than five years ago in a kitchen in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. I was meeting Dr. Elizabeth Bloch Smith for the first time and could scarcely have imagined that our meeting would lead to my participation in an archaeological excavation in Israel that summer. After my first excavation, I was hooked. The spring before I came to Oberlin was filled with weekly meetings, readings, and discussions with Liz. I learned so much in that time and appreciate her continued guidance and support. If Liz was responsible for exposing me to just how fascinating the archaeology of the southern Levant was, Dr. Jeffrey Blakely was the person who helped me find the path where I could follow my passion at Oberlin. I still have my notes from the first day of the January 2017 Winter Term. I was amazed by everything Jeff knew about the history of biblical archaeology at the college and the history of the collection. If anything inspired me throughout my work, it was hearing vivid stories from Jeff about sitting in Harry Thomas Frank’s classroom learning about archaeology. Jeff has truly been my partner at every step of the way. I’ve consulted him for advice numerous times. Jeff kindly provided invaluable suggestions that only a true veteran of the field could offer. To give credit to Jeff in two more areas, Jeff certainly inspired my interest in the history of biblical archaeology and during the Winter Term in 2017 assigned me to work on the Bab edh-Dhra’ collection of Early Bronze Age tomb pots.

  • Jerusalem Between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space Through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin
    chapter 8 Jerusalem between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin Y. Wallach Introduction Jerusalem is seen as an archetypal example of a divided city, where extreme ethno-national polarization is deep rooted in a long history of segregation. In this chapter I challenge this perception by re-examining urban dynamics of late Ottoman and British Mandate Jerusalem, while questioning the manner in which urban segregation is theorized and understood. In the past few decades, there has been a reinvigorated scholarly discus- sion of urban segregation, driven by the challenges of difference and diversity.1 Entrenched segregation between different groups (defined by race, ethnicity, religion or class), or the “parallel lives” of different communities, living side by side with little contact, are seen to undermine the multicultural model of the late twentieth century. At the same time, mechanistic models of integration through urban mixing are increasingly challenged, and it is no longer accepted as evident that segregation is always undesirable. Nor is it obvious that everyday contact between different communities necessarily helps to engender greater understanding and dialogue. Scholars have been debating how to locate the discussion of urban encounter and segregation in the lived experience of the city. Writing on this topic suffers from the idealization of urban cosmopoli- tanism, on the one hand, or, conversely, describing segregation in overdeter- mined terms. To avoid this double pitfall, closer attention to the historical and spatial context is necessary, as well as close examination of socioeconomic real- ities. One suggestion, that I follow in this chapter, is to focus on life histories.2 By 1 This chapter forms part of ‘Conflict in Cities and the Contested Stated’ project, funded by the esrc’s Large Grants Programme (res-060-25-0015).

Although France and the UK declared war on Germany, they did not pursue any activities to provide their Polish ally with any real assistance. Despite its total defeat and its entire territory being occupied, Poland did not surrender. Escaping to France and then to the UK, the authorities of the Republic of Poland demonstrated legalism and maintained the continuity of the Polish state. Poland as a state continued to be an actor of international law, and within the Allied bloc, it was the legal representative of all the citizens of the Republic of Poland – regardless of their nationality, religion or political views.

According to this suggestion, there are five stages of examination that can be made into a work-page or can be asked in the classroom. We suggest, for each stage, a number of questions that can be asked. 1. First reactions. 2. Identification of the subject – between the story and the picture. 3. Artistic fashioning – describing what the artist has done. 4. Examining the meaning. 5. Connecting back with the text. 1. First reactions - What catches your eye in the picture? What feeling or atmosphere does the picture evoke? - At first glance, what do you like or dislike in the picture? - Does the picture remind you of anything or make you think of anything specific? 2. Identification of the subject – between the story and the picture. - What is shown from the p'shat of the biblical story? (Characters, events, ideas, values). - What if anything, did the artist leave out? - What did the artist add to the text as he or she came to express his or her version of the text? - Give a title to the painting and sum up what is the main emphasis of the picture. 3. Artistic fashioning – describing what the artist has done.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 19, 2016 CONTACTS: Samantha Kupferman, West End Strategy Team for Taube Philanthropies [email protected]; Office: 212-498-9300; Cell: 202-215-9260 Jean Rosensaft, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion [email protected]; Office: 212-824-2209; Cell: 917-699-8875 Taube Philanthropies Awards $15 Million Gift to Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem Reform Judaism’s Israel campus to be renamed Taube Family Campus SAN FRANCISCO – A $15 million grant from Taube Philanthropies will allow Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the Reform Movement’s headquarters in Israel, to update, enhance and beautify its Jerusalem campus. The gift is Bay Area-based Taube Philanthropies’ largest grant ever to a Jewish organization. HUC-JIR and Taube Philanthropies will celebrate their new partnership with a groundbreaking ceremony in Jerusalem on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, at 6 p.m. local time.

We are honored to be a part of this community as it achieves new heights in Jewish and rabbinical education.” Taube Philanthropies’ significant gift will come with a name change for the Jerusalem campus, which, as of June 29, will be known as The Taube Family Campus.
