Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils

"""p HIS DIRECTORY is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish J- Federations and Welfare Funds. It includes over 600 communities, virtually all of which are affiliated with the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, their national association for sharing of common services, interchange of experience, and joint consultation and action. This number compares with 305 communities in the 1943 directory, and reflects the development of Jewish communal organiza- tion in America. These communities comprise at least 95 per cent of the Jewish population of the United States and about 90 per cent of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each community is the local central agency-—federation, welfare fund, or com- munity council—with its address and the names of the president and executive director. The names "federation," "welfare fund," and "Jewish community council" are not definitive and their structures and functions vary from city to city. What is called a federation in one city, for example, may be called a community council in another. In the main these central agencies have responsibility for some or all of the following functions: (a) raising of funds for local, national, and overseas serv- ices; (b) allocation and distribution of funds for these purposes; (c) coordination and central planning of local services, such as family welfare, child care, health, recreation, community relations within the Jewish community and with the general community, Jewish education, care of the aged, and vocational guidance, eliminating dupli- cation and filling in gaps in service; (d) in small and some intermediate cities, direct administration of local social services. In the directory, the following symbols are used: (*) Member agency of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. (2) Receives support from Community Chest.

JUDAH L. MAGNES *

UDAH L. MAGNES was a California boy brought up in the strong democratic traditions of the American West and the ancient faith and learning of the JJewish people. His life represented a synthesis between the idealism of America and the idealism of Judaism. He had the independence and courage of the pioneer and the faith and fortitude of the Jewish martyr. Had he been a Christian, the social thinking of Judah Magnes could have been described as Christian Socialism. His socialism was not Marxian or doc- trinaire in any sense. It was rather derived from the teachings of the Torah, from the inspiration of the prophets, from the ancient Jewish laws relating to the year of Jubilee and the old Jewish faith in a Messianic era. He believed firmly that those who placed their selfish interests above the interests of the people as a whole, who used their special interests or their desire for personal aggrandizement as their motivation, were not the kind of people who should be in high places or govern the world. "If the democratic society is serious about enabling all people to live the good life, the private profit motive can no longer be permitted to dominate this society. . . ." To him, those who were selfish in their intellectual life were just as repre- hensible as those who were selfish in the economic and political life of the world. "Do the professors write books and the teachers raise up disciples in support of a freer and juster world? Almost complete silence in the pulpit and the chair. No, the profiteers in war and in peace, be they of the right or the left, are not the men to rule the destinies of mankind. . . ." Judah Magnes was a pacifist. He did not believe that good ends and noble aspirations could be achieved through violence and hatred. In World War I he was a pacifist. He spoke openly against the war, so openly as to embarrass his friends and admirers and those who supported him as the president of the New York Kehillah. Then he learned the agonies suffered by one who refused to be suborned by mass hysteria. For some years he had lived at Cos Cob, Conn. Such was the humiliation which he suffered from his neighbors that he was forced to move. He went to live at Chappaqua, N. Y., where he found acceptance among a group of Quakers. World War II created a moral crisis in his life. The atrocities of the Nazis and the evil of Hitlerism made it impossible for him to oppose the war. For to him Hitler was Satan incarnate and as such had to be destroyed. Ever since the inception of the Zionist movement Judah Magnes had been a Zionist. He was one of the founders and for a while was the honorary secre- 1 For biographical details, see also pp. 522-23. 512 JUDAH L. MAGNES 513 tary of the Federation of American Zionists. Such was his faith and his hope for Zion that he moved with his family to Palestine in 1922 and made his residence in Jerusalem for the remainder of his life. Nevertheless, it did not appear to him that Zionism required the establishment of a state, for a state in the long run must be founded upon force. And because he believed so strongly that violence and warfare would not accomplish noble purposes, he opposed the violence of the Jewish underground and the war against the Arabs. Out of this came his theory that Palestine should be organized as a bi-national state in which Jews and Arabs would be equally represented, in some such manner as the Swiss federation is composed of different cultural groups having equality with one another. Later when Israel was established he accepted the existence of the Israeli state as a fait accompli, but pleaded that there could be no peace for Israel until effective cooperation with the Arabs in Israel and the Arab states surrounding it could be achieved. So he urged a confederation of the Middle East, of the state of Israel with the sur- rounding Arab states. His political views with respect to Palestine were ex- pressed through Ihud ("Union"), the organization which he founded and of which he was the president. While Judah Magnes hated force and violence and the atrocities of the underground, it was not the young men and women of the Irgun and the Stern groups whom he condemned. Rather it was the politicians who said in effect that "a little violence won't hurt." "It is very easy," he wrote, "to join in the cry that the Jewish terrorists are responsible for this atrocious crime. But who has been responsible for the terrorists? We all bear some responsi- bility. . . ." From the time that he was ordained a rabbi by Hebrew Union College in 1898, Judah Magnes was always interested in education, Jewish education in particular. He was an instructor and librarian at Hebrew Union College and afterward, when he became president of the New York Kehillah, he joined with Samson Benderly in establishing the Jewish Education Bureau, to im- prove the standards of Jewish education. Both the Kehillah and the Jewish Education Bureau are no more. But each in its way set a pattern for American Jewish communal activity. In Palestine he became the chancellor and later the president of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the founder of the Hebrew University Press. The University represents perhaps his greatest concrete achievement. He nurtured all of its departments with love and imagination. He was proud of its scientific work and of the Medical School and Hadassah Hospital, which were associated with the University. He was interested in and hopeful for the development of the social sciences. He had great pride irt the school for Islamic studies and the great Islamic library on Mount Scopus. But above all, his heart was in the Institute of Jewish Studies. Whatever might be the situation in the world or in Palestine with respect to war and peace, Judah Magnes believed that the study of Torah must continue. He rejected the idea that such studies were superfluous because they did not make scientific con- tributions to the winning of the war. Judah Magnes' devotion to the Jewish people is further illustrated by the active part he played during the years of his residence in New York as a 5 14 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK member of the American Jewish Committee and as a founder of the Amer- ican Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. After World War I he traveled in Europe for the JDC, and on his return he made a report to the Jews of New York concerning the condition of their brothers in Eastern Europe. During the recent war he represented the JDC in the Middle East; traveling about that part of the world as the chief adviser of the JDC on its problems and the needs of its Jews. Shortly before he died, in the spirit of the biblical injunction to the Jews to remember that they were strangers in Egypt, he urged unsuccessfully that the JDC should use some of its funds for the benefit of Arab refugees from Israel. He could not justify the contradiction of estab- lishing a home for refugees from Europe at the expense of creating refugees from Israel. This feeling of fellowship, of brotherhood, is exemplified by an extract from a letter which he wrote shortly before his death but never mailed, in which he said: For peace can come there [in Israel] only if Israel and Ishmael can feel they are brothers. It was an opportunity of stretching out the helping hand of a Jewish brother to thousands in distress—in the same way the JDC has ap- pealed to others to do for Jews in distress. It would have been in many ways the most glorious chapter in the glorious history of the JDC. With the late Henrietta Szold, one of his dearest and closest friends, he was a founder of Hadassah. After her death he was for many years its represent- ative in Palestine. And however much he differed from official Zionism on political issues, he cooperated with Hadassah and contributed greatly to the success of its work. The social views, the pacifism, the Zionism, the educational and welfare efforts of Judah Magnes were firmly rooted in his deeply religious Jewishness. While he felt the atmosphere of his congregations to be in large measure stuffy and irreligious, while he felt uncomfortable in formal religious observance, week after week he celebrated the Sabbath and the holidays in his home and until his very death studied religious literature. He was dedicated to the idea that we Jews have a mission in the world, a mission to preach our moral faith and the necessity of oneness, a mission to preach to the world that it is through ideals and moral ends that the world can be re-created, not through destruction or aggression or hatred. The conservation of Jewish piety and learning, and a thoroughgoing social radicalism are not antagonistic but are complementary, and are both the outcome of the tradition of the prophetic morality. It is one of our tasks to find the bridge connecting them. They are symbolic of the moral law and of the mission for mankind which has been inscribed from the beginning in the prophets' scroll. He did not see any dichotomy between the tasks of his people as Jews and as citizens of the world. We have a double task [he wrote] in which there is no first and last: to be steadfast as Jews and to labor on behalf of a better world. ... It should be clear that our rights and our obligations as Jews are inextricably interwoven with our rights and obligations as human beings. STEPHEN S. WISE 5 15 The life of Judah Magnes was not one-sided. It was not composed entirely of prophecy and religion. He found pleasure and satisfactions in many of the things that other people have enjoyed. He loved to talk to friends, he loved family life, he was excited by travel, by his trip of exploration across the desert. All who knew him recall his passion for baseball. Judah Magnes' love of life, of laughter, and of the humanity in all people made him the friend and confidante all his life of hundreds of people who disagreed with him or who, agreeing, were afraid to step out of line and join him. Time and again people would bring their troubles to him and be certain of understanding. Many a young man and woman of the Irgun and the Stern group, whose terrorism he abhorred, would come to him after some enterprise in which they" had been engaged, confide in him, and talk to him about their motivations and their feelings. He was to many a personal friend in distress, a beloved father-confessor, who, if he could not grant absolution, could at least give a sense of integrity. Sholem Asch has written: I consider Dr. Magnes the most characteristic example of Jewish idealism which America has produced. He had the passion of love for truth like a prophet and he had the courage to stand by his truth like a hero and he was graced by God with innocence and cleanliness like a child. His youthful belief in righteousness and fighting for it was always a great inspiration for all the people who had the privilege to be associated with him in his work. JAMES MARSHALL

STEPHEN S. WISE *

ROPHETIC Judaism exerted the profoundest influence on the life and P thought of Stepheti S. Wise. The ancient Hebrew prophets loved Israel even as they reproached him. They courageously fought for justice. They were sustained in their basic attitudes and activities by an overpowering religious faith. Stephen Wise loved Jews, especially the Jewish masses, and they knew it. His name became a byword in Europe. In the concentration camps, Stephania was the code word for America and for liberation. Apart from Chaim Weizmann, perhaps no other Jew of our generation exercised such mass appeal and achieved such mass response. It was inevitable, therefore, that the instruments through which he sought to serve Jewry would be of a broad-based democratic character. He was a founder of the American Jewish Congress which was organized on the basis of popular elections. He was the moving spirit and the president of the World Jewish Congress from its organization in 1936 until his death. This pro- vided him both with a sounding board for his magnificent eloquence in defense of Jewish rights and with steady contacts with the masses of Jewry. He regarded the Jews as a people, never as a sect. Devoted from his early youth to Jewry's historic hope of national restoration in Zion, he responded immediately to Theodor Herzl's call to the Second Zionist Congress in Basle. 1 For biographical details, see also pp. 525-26. 516 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK A year earlier, in 1897, as an organizer and secretary of the Federation of American Zionists, Stephen Wise ushered in a career of leadership in Zionism which brought him to many high offices in the movement in America and throughout the world. Differences with other Zionist leaders, particularly Chaim Weizmann and Abba Hillel Silver, briefly removed him from active leadership at one time or another. Yet more than any other American he was the outstanding symbol and advocate of Zionism, not only in the eyes of American Jews but also to the entire American people and its leaders, in- cluding Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a real sense, Dr. Wise's Zionism was an extension of his American demo- cratic outlook, for he saw Zionism not as escapism or defeatism or "refugeeism" but as the application of the progressive democratic process to the Jewish problem. There is no doubt that his experience with freedom and democracy in this country shaped his entire outlook. He loved America. Intensely patriotic, he was not a chauvinist. He found much to criticize in the land he loved and in its people. Its treatment of the Negroes and the Indians aroused his wrath. The exploitation of women and children in industry, which in the early years of his ministry he found so widespread, not only evoked his denunciation but compelled him to advocate trade unionism and welfare legislation. As early as 1903 he served on the Oregon State Child Labor Commission. He publicly supported organized labor in major conflicts, sometimes at considerable sacrifice. While he was organizing the Jewish In- stitute of Religion, a cherished project for the training of liberal rabbis, the strike of 1919 broke out in the steel industry. The workers were fighting for union recognition and for the improvement of working conditions. Judge Elbert Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation, was adamant. In a much-publicized sermon—and everything said by the leader of the Free Synagogue in his services at New York City's Carnegie Hall took on a public character—Rabbi Wise denounced the steel corporation for its dictatorial policies and for giving incitement to Bolshevism. Although enthusiastically received by workers and liberal groups, Dr. Wise's statement evoked the wrath of wealthy businessmen and bankers. Among these were men who had pre- viously indicated their support of Dr. Wise's proposed institute. They now withdrew their promised support. Dr. Wise subsequently stated that although this withdrawal postponed the founding of the seminary, he would not have acted differently. In association with his lifelong friend, Dr. John Haynes Holmes of the Community Church of New York City, Rabbi Wise assumed a prominent role in the movement to oust James J. Walker as mayor of New York. The com- mittee aroused the ire of the Democratic governor of New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who advised the clergymen to stay in their churches and mind their own business. Nevertheless, Rabbi Wise and Dr. Holmes continued to excite public opinion with the aim of exerting pressure upon the governor. That their efforts were successful is a matter of history, and despite the sharp ex- change, Rabbi Wise and Franklin D. Roosevelt later became good friends. Toward the end of his life Rabbi Wise was greatly disturbed about the foreign policy of the United States, which he felt was leading toward war with the Soviet Union. Although he was opposed to the methods and certain of the STEPHEN S. WISE 517 policies of Soviet Communism, he believed that peace between the United States and the Soviet Union should be the major objective of the twentieth century. The last addresses he delivered in the weeks before his death were highlighted by attacks on those forces which he maintained were pushing his country toward war with Russia and which, he claimed, were attempting to suppress him. "I will not be silenced!" were the last words this writer heard Rabbi Wise speak publicly, and they were most typical. Sustaining Rabbi Wise's Jewishness and prophetic idealism was his pro- found religious faith. Innumerable people were deeply touched and helped by it. His personal prayers before the recitation of the Kaddish were a soul- stirring religious experience. Even in the darkest moments of his own life or when the fate of Israel and the entire civilized world hung in the balance, he never lost faith. A typically dramatic but genuine expression of unquench- able hopefulness was witnessed during a visit by Rabbi Wise in August, 1946, to the displaced persons camp at Zeilsheim, near Frankfurt, Germany. Although he was accompanied by other Jewish leaders, the chief interest of the people was in the renowned American rabbi. The entire population of the camp gathered in the memorial square to hear him. As he was about to con- clude his address he saw a little girl standing before him. He lifted her up with one arm and with the other pointed to himself and said: "Die juedische Vergangenheit," then, pointing at the child, he said, "Die juedische Zukunft." In the same spirit, despite all reverses, Dr. Wise consistently maintained that he would live to see the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Stephen Wise's spirituality was the product of a rabbinic tradition and a pious Jewish home. He was a direct descendant of seven generations of rabbis. His father, Aaron Wise, was minister of Temple Rodeph Sholem in New York City. The son, Stephen, did not attend a seminary but received his training in rabbinics from his father as well as from other outstanding rabbis of the period in the United States and Europe. In 1905, Stephen Wise was invited to become the rabbi of New York's Temple Emanu-El, the wealthiest and most influential Reform congregation in America. An irreconcilable difference developed when Rabbi Wise was informed that the pulpit would "always be subject to and under the control of the board of trustees." He not only rejected the position but decided that New York and the East needed a truly free synagogue. Shortly thereafter he resigned from his post at Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, Oregon, and returned to New York City to establish the new institution. Meeting first in a theater and later in Carnegie Hall, the new house of worship which he called the Free Synagogue, was founded on the principles of absolute freedom in the pulpit and the unassigned, democratic pew system. This process of democratization of the synagogue, in which he was one of the pioneers, was later adopted by many of the more progressive congregations. It became one of the instruments through which Reform temples ceased to be identified with wealthy Jews of German origin. Wise's free pulpit also exercised a profound influence on American religious leadership. He inspired and strengthened a whole generation of American rabbis, who took courage from his strength, to stand up publicly for their con- victions. The Reform temples had tended to become upper middle-class in- 518 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK stitutions with a conservative and frequently timid leadership which had lost touch with the Jewish masses. Wise's Zionism, his all-embracing Jewishness, and his social idealism attracted popular support. In this area too, he led in the democratization of Judaism in America. Convinced of the need for a seminary which would train rabbis without regard to denomination, Rabbi Wise opened the doors of the Jewish In- stitute of Religion in 1922. He felt the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, adhered too rigidly to German Reform Judaism while the Jewish Theo- logical Seminary in New York was, in his eyes, too limited in its Conservatism. At the Institute great scholars who, like the students, cut across all Jewish denominational lines, were assembled as teachers. It was a catholic Judaism which students encountered at the Institute, with Zionism and social liberal- ism providing dominant motivations. In the years before his death, Dr. Wise reached the conclusion that his basic objectives in founding the Jewish Institute of Religion had been largely fulfilled. He noted changes in the Hebrew Union College and in American Reform Judaism generally which led him to believe that there was little justification for maintaining two separate institutions for the training of liberal rabbis. He therefore entered into negotiations with the executives of the Hebrew Union College which led to a merger of the two institutions in 1948. An evaluation of Rabbi Wise by a devoted student and friend would not be complete without some personal comments. Although Dr. Wise wrote a number of books, he will not be remembered for his gifts as a writer. Fre- quently, in writing as in preaching, his style would become somewhat turgid and involved. Nor was he, as some charged, an actor. Actually, he was not an eloquent reader of others' lines nor even of his own. His eloquence was spon- taneous and dynamic. A sense of the dramatic was in his inmost personality, expressing itself in all his actions, not superimposed by artifice. His leonine head, his sonorous voice, his flashing wit made him at his best one of the superb orators of our time. Those who knew him personally, as did the writer, loved him as a human being. Even in the arena of controversy he was capable of generosity and charity. Outside that arena, in his personal relations, he was a sweet, con- siderate, warm-hearted, loving, and lovable human being.
