  • Foward Building
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 18, 1986, Designation List 184 LP-1419 FORWARD BUILDING, 173-175 East Broadway, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1912: architect George A. Boehm. Landmark Site: Borough of ?v'anhattan Tax Map Block 284, Lot 23. On April 12, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Forward Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Constructed in 1912, the ten-story Fdrward Building remains to this day a towering presence within the context of its immediate Lower East Side neighborhood. Its only competitor for dominance, apart from the modern high-rise Seward Park Houses, was and is the late 19th-century S. Jarmulowsky's Bank located a short distance west at Canal and Allen Streets. For the newspaper which avowed, '.'The Forward will be a socialist paper and its first duty is to spread the ideas of socialism among the Jewish masses," the height of its new office bui.::.ding 'V'ras a considered and deliberate response to that bari.k, capitalism's major monument on the Lower East Side. 1 Designed by George A. Boehm and built just fifteen years after the 1897 founding of the Jewish Daily Forward, the Forward Buildin.g is a richly ornamented terra-cotta and brick-clad Beaux-Arts style structure. I t is comparable to the eminence attained by the world's preminent Yiddish­ language daily and to the Forward's role as a significant determinant in the political, cultural and social history of the immigrant commu.~ity it served, a history which the Jewish Daily Forward's cm:n history parallels.

  • Dedication of the South Fence, Patriots' Park at Touro
    DEDICATION OF THE SOUTH FENCE, PATRIOTS' PARK AT TOURO SYNAGOGUE, NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND REMARKS OF LOUIS BARUCH RUBINSTEIN, PRESIDING AT TFIE DEDICATION, AUGUST 20, 1978 Rabbi Lewis, Senator McKenna, Mayor Donnelly, Doctor Goldow- sky,* citizens of Newport, and Friends of Touro Synagogue: It is wth great pride and pleasure that we gather here at Patriots' Park to dedicate a beautiful new fence, which enhances this lovely ad- junct to this National Shrine of the United States of America. The historical records show that the original dedication of this holy and illustrious Flouse of Worship took place on the second day of December, 1763. It was also the first day of Hanukkah of the Jewish calendar year 5523, the Feast of Lights, a day of Dedication and Reconsecration com- memorating the cleansing and renewal of the temple in Jerusalem under Judas Maccabeus some ninteen hundred and twenty-eight years earlier, after the victory over the Syrians. In the Neiuport Mercury dated December 5, 1763 (which incidentally is my birth date—not the year—just the day), the following item ap- peared: In the afternoon was the dedication of the new synagogue in this Town. It began by a handsome procession in which were carried the Books of the Law to be deposited in the Ark. Several portions of the Scripture, and of their Service with a prayer for the Royal Family were read and finely sung by the Priest and People. There were present many Gentlemen and Ladies. The Order and De- corum, the Harmony and Solemnity of the Music, together with a handsome Assembly of People, in an Edifice the most perfect of the Temple kind perhaps in America, and splendidly illuminated, could not but raise in the Mind a faint Idea of the Majesty and Grandeur of the Ancient Jewish Worship mentioned in the Scrip- ture.

  • Louis Miller Between New York and Tel Aviv, 1911 By
    FOCUS “A source of satisfaction to all Jews, wherever they may be living” Louis Miller between New York and Tel Aviv, 1911 by Ehud Manor Abstract Although throughout the middle-ages Jews used to live in urban environment more than non-Jews, urbanization process in the 19th century was as critical to Jewish modern history as in other cases. Modernization, in all aspects, had a deep impact on Jewish demography, socio-economic life and self understanding. On the same time Jews were immigrating by the millions to the “new world” (mainly to the United States), a small current of Jews was heading to Palestine (Eretz Israel if to use their specific term). As opposed to a common understanding of Zionism, the future city and the neo-urbanization of the Jews – and not only the new villages (Moshavot, Kibbutzim, Moshavim) – was a main Zionist goal. This article describes one of the first comprehensive observations of these issues, as seen from the eyes of Louis Miller, himself a Jewish immigrant that settled in the outmost city of the modern world: New York. In 1911 he paid a visit to the one-year-old Tel Aviv, and managed to see in this new modest garden-city the cradle of the Zionist revolution. Not less important: Miller understood as early as 1911, the crucial role Jewish settlements in Palestine would have in the crystallization of modern Jewish peoplehood. Tel Aviv took major part in this development. It still does. The New Jewish Politics: Klal Yisrael – thoughtful policy or after-the-fact phenomenon? In his From Periphery to Center the historian Michael Graetz delineated the model that characterized politics in the 21st century, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
