A crucial piece of this vision has been to make more visible to an international audience the rich research collections concerning Jews in the vari- ous archives and libraries on the Austin campus. We have prepared this guide to promote the use of these resources by both students and scholars based not only in Austin, but also elsewhere in the United States and around the world. Someone not familiar with the University of Texas may find astonishing the depth, breadth, and importance of these materials. Available for research are resources like the papers of Jewish writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer, Arthur Miller, and Nor- man Mailer, local history collections of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, exten- ROBERT H.

How do we create a place where people November 21 can relate to each other, to the greater Jewish community, to Is- Vayetze rael, to Torah, and to God? Here is a selection from that sermon: November 28 A synagogue is a Beit Tefilah – literally a “House of Prayer.” Vayishlach Jews want to talk to God, to relate to God. I am well aware that many Jews who come to synagogue do not come to talk to God.

The essay discusses the many difficulties experienced by cantors in his time, especially the ones who had not be educated. In Szerman’s opinion, the only way to ease the burden – especially the financial burden – was to create a class of educated and professional cantors. The many customs of Polish Jewry that are forgotten today have been annotated as well as basic biographical data on highly influential earlier cantorial masters. Introduction The role of the cantor, or khazan in Hebrew and khazn in Yiddish, is to recite the often very lengthy and rather wordy liturgy. The cantor essentially prays on behalf of the congregation (the Hebrew title Shliach Tzibbur means exactly that), many of whom cannot read Hebrew, and before the printing press even fewer had a prayer books at all. The worshiper needed only to respond “Amen,” to the blessing recited by the cantor to have fulfilled the mitzvah (commandment) of prayer. Unlike a Catholic priest, a cantor or rabbi need not be of some special category: anyone with a decent moral character, Jewishly literate, and had a pleasant voice can serve as khazan.
