  • What Would You Do

    What Would You Do

    World ORT What Would You Do Case Study Booklet We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of Yaffa Fogel in the development of these materials Practice Case Study: ORT after World War I Case Study ORT was first established in the 1880s in St. Petersburg to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement improve their economic futures. In the first decades of its existence, ORT created schools, language programs, and certifications, and sent much needed equipment to many small Jewish factories throughout the lands of the Russian empire. With the end of World War I in 1918, however, the Russian empire collapsed and a new government emerged amid massive upheaval. This new government introduce policies to enforce strict controls on all independent Russian organizations working throughout the country. ORT lost most of the lands it had been using for training schools. Their deposits in Russian banks disappeared as well. The local Jews, meanwhile, were living in destroyed cities while the world economy was quickly sinking into the Great Depression. The Russian Jewish community did not have the means to finance ORT, and yet they desperately needed the organization’s resources. ORT was looking less and less likely to survive if it was to remain a Russian entity. If you were ORT, what would you do? How could you survive to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement? Isolate What are the three most important problems in this case study? 1. Local Jews all over Eastern Europe are desperately in need for ORT’s help. 2. The Russian Empire is broken up and ORT has no autonomy under the new Russian government 3.

    Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: a Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva?

    NATAN OPHIR Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: A Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva? his article examines a little known episode in the history of two famous schools, Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav-Central Universal TYeshiva (CUY) 1 and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). Specifically, it examines several exchanges between R. Abraham Isaac Kook and R. Dr. Bernard Revel. Their discussion began in 1918, continued when R. Kook visited New York in 1924, and culminated in a written proposal by Dr. Revel on May 17, 1927. The proposal would have meant uniting what we now call the Torah u- Madda 2 ideology developed in New York with Torat Ere z. Yisrael of Jerusalem. There are lacunae in this story that leave room for speculation. Nevertheless, the main plot will, I believe, be of special interest to read - ers of this journal, and may give rise to interesting observations about the protagonists. Besides adding a chapter to the history of Torah u- Madda in the twentieth century, this story provides a glimpse into a rel - atively unknown phase in the early development of both Yeshiva College and CUY. NATAN OPHIR (O FFENBACHER ) directs Meorot, a center in Jerusalem for Jewish Meditation and Neuro-Psychology. An alumnus of Yeshiva College, he received ordination from Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav and a Ph.D in Jewish Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he served as rabbi of the campus for sixteen years. He has published articles in Daat , Tehumin , and other scholarly journals. 188 The Torah u-Madda Journal (15/2008-09) Natan Ophir 189 R.

Research and publication of the 4th Annual Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States was made possible by a generous grant from Philip Morris Companies. 2 FOREWORD BY HUGH PRICE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE I am honored to have once again been invited to provide a foreword for The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding's 4th Annual "Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States.

  • 2017 Report Century

    2017 Report Century

    THE COMMUNITY REPORT 2016–2017 TO CENTURY We’ve lifted lives shared dreams and brought our community together. OUR FIRST Today, we’re more vibrant and inclusive than ever. OUR SECOND CENTURY FRIENDS, DEAR The launch of our second century was a historic opportunity to pursue the ideas, investments, and innovations that bring meaningful impact to the communities we serve. Since 1917, our forward-thinking mindset has been coupled with a readiness to continuously learn from our experience. That’s how we’ve arrived at a UJA that is more inclusive and agile than ever before, poised to advance our community in ways that our founders could never have imagined. What hasn’t changed over these past 100 years? The sense of responsibility for Jews and people in crisis, wherever they may be, and the conviction that when we come together, we can do so much more than when we stand apart. Those same values guided our response to multiple crises in late summer and fall 2017. After neo-Nazi groups marched in Charlottesville, a delegation of New Yorkers traveled to Virginia to offer emotional support to a deeply shaken Jewish community. In the wake of widespread devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma, we sent experts and vital resources to Texas to aid recovery efforts and dispatched lifesaving supplies to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. A Year of Strengthening Jewish Community Many will also remember this as a year of growing political divisiveness. As a much-needed antidote, we stood above the fray, offering safe spaces to talk with civility about difficult issues and generating opportunities to transcend difference and build kehilla — from Shabbat dinners to widely attended community conversations.
