At the same time our doors are open every day of the week to members and non-members for our many educational and recreational activities: study of the Torah and Mishnah with the Rabbi and the Cantor, Hebrew language and Jewish education for children and adults, concerts, yoga, karate, swimming, basketball, rhythmic gymnastics, interfaith events, etc. As you will read on pages 10-11, we are expanding our Bikur Cholim, (care of the sick) to recruit more volunteers to help more people. And we are trying to make the building more accessible for everyone, including the 100 seniors who make 1625 Ocean Avenue their home away from home from Monday to Friday, and the hundreds each week who attend our twice daily minyanim and our beautiful Shabbat and other services. Our membership and programs are growing, but our beautiful building is aging, so please help us to keep things in good shape by contributing to our Kol Nidre Appeal. I am sure you understand that our large group of willing volunteers cannot do everything. Most of the work must be done by our paid staff (clergy, educators, maintenance people and office staff assistants). Light, heat and air conditioning cost $9,000 per month, every month of the year. We must carry a large amount of insurance to protect us in case of accidents and false claims, and we must employ plumbers, electricians, exterminators and other specialists to keep the building clean and safe. When we were children, we thought everything was free, but now as adults, we know better. Everything costs money and the cheapest is not always the best. So, please order your High Holiday tickets if you haven’t already done so, and make your Kol Nidre donation as generous as you can. Donations may be paid with a credit card or may be spread out throughout the entire year. You may submit the form on the next page, or call our office at 718-338-3800. Thank you very much for your devotion to the East Midwood Jewish Center, still the leading Conservative Egalitarian synagogue in Brooklyn. All of us at EMJC wish you and your family a happy, healthy, safe and enjoyable 5777.

  • Conversion History: Ancient Period by Lawrence J
    Section 1: Early history to modern times Earliest Form of "Conversion" was Assimilation The Biblical Israelites had no concept of religious conversion because the notion of a religion as separate from a nationality was incoherent. The words "Jews" and "Judaism" did not exist. Abraham was called an ivri, a Hebrew, and his descendants were known either as Hebrews, Israelites (the children of Israel), or Judeans. These words are nationalistic terms that also imply the worship of the God of Abraham. While there were no "conversions," many non-Israelites joined the Israelite community. If female, they did so by marriage or, for male and female, acceptance of the beliefs and practices of the community. In this sense, assimilation is the earliest form of conversion. Abraham and his descendants absorbed many pagans and servants into their group, greatly increasing the size of the Israelite people. We also assume the males were circumcised. Following the giving of the Torah at Sinai, the tribes were circumcised. The assumption was that the children of the non-Israelites who joined the nation as it left Egypt also were circumcised and accepted into the nation. Next they increased their numbers from among non-Israelite peoples as they conquered the land as quoted from Deuteronomy 21:10-14: “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the LORD your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.

Sinitski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation • Columbia University (May 2013) Thesis Advisor: Richard Pieper Reader 1: Claudia Kavenagh Reader 2: Joan Berkowitz Reader 3: Jim Hacklar Acknowledgements My thesis would not have been possible without the kind assistance from numerous people. Firstly, I would like to thank my advisor, Richard Pieper, for sticking with me throughout the entire process. I am especially grateful for my three amazing readers: Claudia Kavenagh for dedicating extra time to working with me, Joan Berkowitz for her insightful comments and encouragements, and Jim Hacklar for fielding my questions and for providing an outsider’s perspective. Additionally, I am thankful for Mark Maddaloni with the EPA and Bill VanSchalkwyk and Susan Leite at MIT for taking the time to speak with me. Finally, I could not have done it without the love and support of my family, friends, fellow classmates, and wonderful boyfriend and editor, Andrew Dominijanni. 2 Table of Contents Abstract .................................................................................................................................................. 5 Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 6 Chapter I: History and Properties of PCBs .........................................................................................
