Dieectoey of Jewish Oeganizations in the United DIEECTOEY OF JEWISH OEGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES The inquiry resulting in the two Directories in this issue of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, the Directory of Jew- ish National Organizations and the Directory of Jewish Local Organizations, in the United States, extended over a period of six months, from January 15 to July 15, of this year (1907). This explains why in some cases the officers given are not the last elected. Changes in local organizations occur so rapidly that names of presidents and secretaries furnished on the last of the dates mentioned may no longer be correct when this book leaves the press. The branches of the National Organizations, where such are enumerated, were obtained direct from the headquarters of the central body. In the Local Directory, every organi- zation, unless it responded to the first request for data, was addressed twice with a circular letter enclosing blanks (ques- tionnaires). Some were addressed oftener, first through one and then another of their officers. In upward of forty of the larger cities, canvassing agents were employed. In many others the interest of prominent persons was enlisted, and their assistance was accorded the Editor to a generous degree. In spite of these various efforts to obtain guaranteed reports, to which must be added a mass of personal correspondence with individuals in all parts of the country, it proved im- possible to secure official data in all instances. Indirect in- formation, taken from newspaper accounts or other second- ary sources, that is, derived in any way except from some one 22 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK presumably authorized to speak for a given organization, is marked with an asterisk (*). The Directory of National Organizations is arranged alphabetically by the names of the Organizations, and the branches of each alphabetically by towns. The Directory of Local Organizations is alphabetic by States, and in each State the arrangement is alphabetic by towns. The organiza- tions of a town are grouped alphabetically under the follow- ing headings: I. CONGREGATIONS; II. CHARITIES; III. MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES (Sick and Death Benefit So- cieties, KranJcen Unterstiitzungsvereine); TV. EDUCATIONAL SOCIETIES ; V. Miscellaneous Organizations: LITERARY, MUSI- CAL, SOCIAL, CIVIC, ATHLETIC, AND MILITARY CLUBS, COM- MUNAL ORGANIZATIONS, and LABOR UNIONS ; VI. CEMETER- IES. Under New York City three additional headings will be -found: COMMUNAL EELIGIOUS SOCIETIES ; COMMUNAL FED- ERATIONS, and COMMUNAL BUILDINGS. It is important to note, however, that the divisions over- lap each other to an extent defying classification and analy- sis. The Congregations are often Mutual Benefit Socie- ties, especially in New York City; or Free Loan Societies (Gemilat Hasodim) are attached to them, as particularly in Chicago; or they have Sick Benefit (Bikur Holim), Burial Society (Hebra Kadisha), or Friendly Inn (Haknosat Orhim) features; or they do educational work, not only in their religious schools, Sabbath schools, and Talmud Torahs, but also through industrial classes, immigrant classes in English, and Hebrot of various sorts, Hebra Shas (for the study of Talmud), Hebra Mishnayat (for the study of the Mishnah), or Hebra Tehillim (for the study of the Psalms), etc. Again, the charities are largely educational in charac- JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS 23 ter, as, for instance, the Sisterhoods maintaining Kinder- gartens and classes of all sorts, not to mention the Orphan Asylums. There are clubs, too, like many of the Young Men's Hebrew Associations, that are educational and, in so far as they form neighborhood centres, charitable in their purposes and achievements. The transliteration of the names of organizations, from the Hebrew, German, Eussian, Polish, and other languages, is in the main that of the society furnishing the informa- tion. But to render the Directory of New York City in particular easily available, the cultural and historical pur- poses subserved by this scheme of transliterations had to yield to the reference purposes, and a slight modification of the rule in the direction of uniformity had to be adopted where names are duplicated and multiplied in varying or- thographies. For instance Bene, Bne, B'ne, Benai, Bnai, B'nai, and Bnee, all appear as Bene, though when it was known that a congregation or society had a seal or an official designation, its own orthography was joined in parentheses to the other. SHAAEB TEFILLAH is spelled according to the system adopted in the book; SHAARAY TEFILA is the form used by one congregation, and it appears in parentheses. In New York, too, a rather extensive system of cross- references had to be made use of, to facilitate the finding of organizations known under two names, by their formal He- brew name, or by the name of the town in Europe from which the majority of their members hail. All descriptive additions prefixed to the names of congre- gations, as the word Congregation itself, Temple, Hebra, or Kahal Kadosh, with its abbreviations and variations, etc., are placed after the name proper. 24 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Hebra Kadisha as the name of a society for burial pur- poses appears under Hebra (or Chebrah, etc.). The population data are based upon estimates made by many of those who filled out questionnaires regarding organi- zations in behalf of which they had been addressed. When the estimates for a given place varied, the position of the correspondents in their communities determined the choice.

  • The Debate Over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue
    Jack Wertheimer (ed.) The American Synagogue: A Sanctuary Transformed. New York: Cambridge 13 University Press, 1987 The Debate over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue JONATHAN D. SARNA "Pues have never yet found an historian," John M. Neale com­ plained, when he undertook to survey the subject of church seating for the Cambridge Camden Society in 1842. 1 To a large extent, the same situation prevails today in connection with "pues" in the American syn­ agogue. Although it is common knowledge that American synagogue seating patterns have changed greatly over time - sometimes following acrimonious, even violent disputes - the subject as a whole remains unstudied, seemingly too arcane for historians to bother with. 2 Seating patterns, however, actually reflect down-to-earth social realities, and are richly deserving of study. Behind wearisome debates over how sanctuary seats should be arranged and allocated lie fundamental disagreements over the kinds of social and religious values that the synagogue should project and the relationship between the synagogue and the larger society that surrounds it. As we shall see, where people sit reveals much about what they believe. The necessarily limited study of seating patterns that follows focuses only on the most important and controversial seating innovation in the American synagogue: mixed (family) seating. Other innovations - seats that no longer face east, 3 pulpits moved from center to front, 4 free (un­ assigned) seating, closed-off pew ends, and the like - require separate treatment. As we shall see, mixed seating is a ramified and multifaceted issue that clearly reflects the impact of American values on synagogue life, for it pits family unity, sexual equality, and modernity against the accepted Jewish legal (halachic) practice of sexual separatiop in prayer.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

Wise presents an excellent subject for the study of Jewish social progressivism in Portland in the early years of the twentieth-century. While Wise demonstrated a commitment to social justice before, during, and after his Portland years, it is during his ministry at congregation Beth Israel that he developed a full-fledged social program that was unique and remarkable by reaching out not only within his congregation but more importantly, by engaging the Christian community of Portland in interfaith activities.

  • History of the Jews
    II ADVERTISEMENTS Should be in Every Jewish Home AN EPOCH-MAKING WORK COVERING A PERIOD OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S HISTORY OF THE JEWS THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HANDSOMELY AND DURABLY BOUND IN SIX VOLUMES Contains more than 4000 pages, a Copious Index of more than 8000 Subjects, and a Number of Good Sized Colored Maps. SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).
