UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 6162933 Biography The Western States Jewish History Association, originally named the Western States Jewish Historical Society, began as an offshoot of the Southern California Jewish Historical Society, a local branch of the American Jewish Historical Society. The Association's founder, Norton Stern, and was appointed to create and publish a journal, The Western State Jewish History Quarterly in 1968. Norton Stern was closely affiliated with the Santa Monica Temple, and an amateur researcher whose interest in history began as a hobby. He conducted massive amounts of genealogical/biographical research on Jews in the West, writing several articles and books, as well as a weekly column entitled "Our Pioneer Heritage," published in the Northern California Jewish Bulletin. His pursuits largely related to recovering the Judaism of many characters in early-American California (i.e. post-Gold Rush, mid 19th onward) as he canvassed cemeteries, early newspapers, business directories, and temple records to construct a richer narrative. Stern also conducted an extensive and highly valuable oral history project, interviewing many of the older Jewish residents in LA and the surrounding areas before his death in 1992. Finding Aid for the Western States 1739 2 Jewish History Archive, 1800-2004 Because Norton Stern's research interests extended beyond Southern California Jewish history, Stern broadened the focus of the journal to the entire American West, highlighting particularly the "pioneer phase" of Jewish arrival into areas in West in the 19th century. His research trips and interviews served as the basis of the Quarterly's early content, Stern and Kramer working closely to write and publish as much as they could. As popular and academic interest in both the history of the American West and Jewish history in the West expanded in the 1970s and 1980s, dozens of researchers and librarians became part of the Western Jewish History Association's network, submitting articles and essays of their own and assisting with Stern's research. These contributors also appear in the collection. William Kramer began as one such contributor, but soon began to play an integral role in Stern's publication. Kramer served as the scribe, helping Stern to craft longer essays and books about his research. Kramer and Stern published several books together, and lectured together at synagogues and organizations throughout Los Angeles. As a rabbi, Kramer served at Temple Israel of Hollywood and later Temple Beth Emet in Burbank, as well as other congregations throughout the U.S. before he arrived in Los Angeles, and late in his life, an online community he called B'nai Bill. His work with the Temple Israel religious school promoted his involvement with a variety of Jewish educational committees, including the Western Association of Temple Educators and the Bureau of Jewish Education. Kramer also involved himself in other activities within the Jewish Community, serving in the Bureau of Jewish Education and several Reform and Liberal Judaism councils. He was also on the faculty at Hebrew Union College and California State University, Northridge. Many of the research files on Jewish organizations and institutions in Los Angeles contain materials he collected through his various commitments. Kramer also had an avid interest in Jewish art, writing frequently about local artists such as Hans Burkhart and Harry Lieberman. Much of Kramer's material in the collection was gathered in preparation for his autobiography, which was unfortunately never completed, as Kramer died in 2004. The network of researchers, historians, and interested community members that Kramer and Stern created in the Western Jewish History Association continues to this day. As of 2008, the Quarterly began its 40th year of publication, thanks largely to the efforts of Gladys Sturman, David Epstein, and the Association's volunteers. Ms. Sturman and the volunteers worked to gather all of Stern and Kramer's research materials, distributing them to libraries throughout Southern California, including UCLA, the Autry National Center, and the Huntington Library. The Western States Jewish History Archive is but one of the portions of the materials they gathered, for a full list of libraries, refer to the Association's webpage, www.wsjhistory.com . Scope and Content The bulk of the collection is organized into research files of materials Kramer and Stern compiled about individuals, institutions and organizations, and synagogues throughout California. These research files vary in their breadth and specificity, some offering original primary source materials, while others largely comprised of newspaper clippings and research notes. Files from institutions and organizations, as well as synagogues, often contain internal documents -meeting minutes, memos, and legal and financial records- in addition to newsletters, pamphlets and other public materials. The scope of these research files cannot be underestimated. They include a wide variety of organizations and institutions, as well as nearly 500 individuals and families and nearly every major Jewish congregation in California. There is also an abundance of source material related to individuals and topics outside of those contained in the research files. The collection contains an assortment of journal and book excerpts, newspaper clippings, pamphlets and tracts, sermons and speeches, and a few maps and photos. In addition to the written materials, there are audio and visual materials, including several roles of microfilm from Stern's collection. There is large amount of Kramer's personal papers in the collection as well, including drafts of his oral and written work, personnel records from his various employments, and photos and ephemera of his family. The collection also contains similar legal and financial records and correspondence of the Association. Organization and Arrangement The collection is divided into 5 large series: research files, source materials, William Kramer's papers, Norton Stern's papers, and the papers of the Western States Jewish History Association. The majority of the material had been previously organized into research

  • Jay Newman I Am Deeply Grateful for Having Been Invited to Speak With
    Jay Newman The Gilbertianism of Patience I am deeply grateful for having been invited to speak with you tonight on the subject of Gilbert's libretto for Patience. 1 When Savoyards meet to discuss the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, there is not only joy in the air but much reverence too, and I am pleased and honoured to have b1~en entrusted with a major responsibility for carrying out tonight's rites.2 But I am also grateful for a more specific and more "relevant" re:ason. Two events have occurred recently that seem to me to have imparted a certain urgency to our undertaking a particularly careful re:consideration of the importance of Gilbert's contribution to the Savoy operas. No sooner had we celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the first performance of Patience than that great guardian of Gilber­ tian orthodoxy, the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, collapsed, having had crucial funds denied to it by the British Arts Council, which found the D'Oyly Carte's traditionalism to be aesthetically unacceptable in these exciting and adventurous times. At roughly the same time, and just a short distance away from where we are now meeting, the Strat­ ford Festival initiated its remarkably well-received series of Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Brian Macdonald's lively and imaginative productions at Stratford lifted the spirits of many Savoyards, who now had concrete evidence by which to prove to detractors of Savoy opera that Gilbert-and-Sullivan was not as "dated" and "played out" as those narrow-minded British arts councillors claimed.

A los cincuenta aios de edad habia producido mas que dos o tres hombres ordinarios. Le he llamado critico, pero este es un termino denmasiado restricto para este poligrafo y po- ligloto. Era un artista, un espiritu creador como lo demuestran sus cuentos y sus composiciones musicales, una de las cuales re- produce Allen Crandall en su librito, Isaac Goldberg, an apprecia- tion.
