    EJIW Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World 5 volumes including index Executive Editor: Norman A. Stillman Th e goal of the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World is to cover an area of Jewish history, religion, and culture which until now has lacked its own cohesive/discreet reference work.

Th e Encyclopedia is planned as a four-volume bound edition containing approximately 2,750 entries and 1.5 million words. Entries will be organized alphabetically by lemma title (headword) for general ease of access and cross-referenced where appropriate. Additionally the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World will contain a special edition of the Index Islamicus with a sole focus on the Jews of Muslim lands.

It seems that most of our clientele prefer to travel in the "off season apd not to be involved in the summer rush. There are so many deals to near and far away places that it is no longer feasible to offer "specials" to anywhere —just know that they exist all the time to everywhere!!! This last weekend Carol and I spent a very special 4 days at the new Anassa Hotel — 35 minutes drive from the Paphos Airport in Cyprus, which is in itself only a 45 minute flight from Tel Aviv. I can honestly say that the hotel is without doubt the finest hotel I have ever stayed at — a real masterpiece — on the sea, beautiful setting, great food, but wow, it is expensive!!! — something to save for a special occasion. Give me a call and Til fill you in on all the details. Prices to South Africa on El A1 have been reduced for July/August, with all sorts of interesting deals, for example two for one on certain dates.

  • Maryland Historical Magazine 57
    MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE A Quarterly Volume-57 MARCH, 1962 Number 1 \ HENRIETTA SZOLD AND THE RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT SCHOOL By ALEXANDRA LEE LEVIN AFTER the repressive measures known as the May Laws of ^*- 1882 were directed against the Jews of Russia, a flood of East European Jews poured into the United States. This influx was so massive that the urban centers to which the immigrants flocked found their rapid absorption difficult. While Baltimore did not have as overwhelming a problem as New York's tene- ment sweat-shops, still there were problems here, too. Balti- more may not have had a Hester, a Ludlow, or an Essex Street, but it had its Exeter, High, Aisquith, East Baltimore and East Lombard Streets. The Jewish immigrants, freed for the first time from the oppression of centuries, threw themselves into the mad scramble of trying to establish themselves in a new country, and had little time or inclination for anything pertain- ing to culture. 1 2 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE The fact that learning among the " People of the Book " had fallen to such a low ebb in America was a source of distress and uneasiness among some of the educated Jews, and the first person to take an active step in rectifying the situation in Baltimore was a twenty-nine-year-old school teacher, Miss Henrietta Szold. She had a full-time position at the Misses Adams' School for Girls at 222 West Madison Street, where she taught arithmetic, algebra, geometry, ancient history, botany, physiology, English, German, French, Latin, and whatever else was needed.

Samson Raphael Hirsch (d. 1888) appeared in print.l It was authored by R. Bliyahu Eliezer Dessler (d. 1953)) a leading member of the Musar movement) mashgiah of the Ponoviez yeshivah in Bnei Brak) and profound thinker.2 Labelling the Torah and Derekh Bretz movement the ((Frankfurt)) approach) Rabbi Dessler conceded that very few graduates of Torah and Derekh Bretz educational institutions defected from tradi- tional Judaism. This was certainly a strength. But) an¡ued Rabbi Dessler, precisely because secular study was incorporated into its curriculum) the ((Frankfurt)) approach was doomed to failu.re. In effect) it produced no gedolei yisrael and precious few rabbinic scholars (1omedim) of note. In contrast) the Bast European yeshivo! had only one educational goal: the production of gedolei yisraeL. Secular study was banned from the yeshiva curriculum because nothing short of total immersion in Torah study would produce gedolei yisraeL. The gedolim in Eastern Europe were well aware that heavy casualties would result from this single-minded approach to Jewish education. But that was a price they were prepared to pay in order to produce gedolei yisraeL. A letter was sent to Rabbi Shimon Schwab) soliciting his response to Rabbi Dessler)s critique. His response was published anonymously in ha- Ma'ayan) a distinguished Israeli Torah journal) in 1966.3 We are indebted to the editorial board ofha-Ma'ayan for granting us permission to repub- lish the essay in English translation.
