D. •Nmh f orft THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1917 Ail rights reserved COPYRIGHT, 1917 BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Set up and electrotyped. Published May, 1917. TO MAX SENIOR PREFACE > This book is an attempt to meet the demand on the? part of those who are engaged or are interested in Jewish social service, for a statement of the principles evolved through the experience of the last two decades in various philanthropic efforts of the Jews of this country. It is primarily a compilation of the different ideas expressed by the leaders of the movements on various occasions, as well as a presentation of the actual practical experiences that were met in the dif- ferent lines of philanthropic activity. It is intended to serve as a text-book for beginners, and as a ready résumé for those who are already engaged in the field. No claim for scientific treatment of the subjects is made, but it is hoped that as a first attempt in this direction it may serve as an impetus toward clarifying the indefinite views in vogue at present among Jewish social workers of the country and help beginners to orient themselves in the perplexing problems of Jewish social service. The book is practically a revision of a course of lec- tures on Jewish philanthropy given for the last 6 years at the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, Ohio.The leading Jewish social workers of the country should be given credit for their co-operation in reading the manu- script and making emendations and corrections with- vii viii PREFACE out which this book would lose considerable part of its value. Special thanks are due, and are hereby tendered to Dr. Lee K. Frankel, Morris Waldman, Louis Levin, David Bressler, Dr. Ludwig Bernstein, Jacob Billikopf, Rabbi David Philipson, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Adolph S. Oko, and A. S. Freidus for suggestions and criticism, to Dr. Kaufman Kohler for aid in preparing Chapter III, and to Mr. Julius Rosenwald, through whose gen- erosity this publication became possible. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Iskander Hourwich who revised and prepared the manuscript for publica- tion. BORIS D. BOGEN. CINCINNATI, October 1, 1916.

  • Facing the Sea: the Jews of Salonika in the Ottoman Era (1430–1912)

Origins, Settlement and Heyday, 1430–1595 Jews resided in Salonika many centuries before the Turkic tribes first made their appearance on the borders of Western civilization, at the Islamic world’s frontier. In fact, Salonika was one of the cities in whose synagogue the apostle Paul had preached Jesus’ teachings. Like many other Jewish communities is this part of the Roman (and later the Byzantine) Empire, this had been a Greek-speaking community leading its life in much the same way as the Greek pagans, and later, the Christian city dwellers around them. The Ottoman conquest of Salonika in 1430 did little to change their lifestyle. A major upheaval did take place, however, with the Ottoman takeover of Constantinople in 1453. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, the Conqueror (Fatih in Turkish), aimed to turn the former Byzantine capital into the hub of his Empire, a world power in its own right on a par with such earlier grand empires as the Roman and the Persian. To that effect, he ordered the transfer of entire populations— Muslims, Greeks, and Jews—from other parts of his empire to the new capital in order to rebuild and repopulate it.

  • Jacob Billikopf Social Worker 1883-1950
    Missouri Valley Special Collections Jacob Billikopf Social Worker 1883-1950 by David Conrads Jacob Billikopf was a nationally known figure in social work, Jewish philanthropy, and labor arbitration. While his time in Kansas City was just one of many stops in his career, Billikopf made a tremendous contribution to the social welfare of the city in the early part of the twentieth century. Billikopf was born in Wilna, Russia, in 1883. He came to the United States in his youth and settled in Richmond, Virginia, where he attended school. He earned a doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1903 and went into settlement work in Cincinnati and Milwaukee. He came to Kansas City in 1907, where he worked as the superintendent of the United Jewish Charities. A highly persuasive individual, he agitated for public baths, night schools, a municipal loan agency, and free public legal aid. In Kansas City, Billikopf became a close friend and associate of William Volker, a businessman and philanthropist. At the time, Kansas City faced an array of serious social problems. High unemployment had given rise to a high crime rate, as well as overcrowded jails and workhouses. Billikopf, Volker, and Frank P. Walsh, a lawyer, served on a volunteer, nonpolitical committee charged with studying courses of action. They recommended the creation of a Board of Pardons and Paroles to supervise the correctional institutions and to handle the pardons and paroles of inmates. Their proposal was adopted in 1908. Out of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, in 1910, grew the Board of Public Welfare, the first of its kind in the country.

  • Organized Labor and Radio Station WEVD During the 1930S
    LaborHistory, Vol. 42, No. 4, 2001 Strugglingover Politics and Culture:Organized Labor and Radio Station WEVD duringthe 1930s NATHANGODFRIED* By theearly years ofthe Great Depression,corporate-controlled national radio net- works,Hollywood-centered motion picture producers,and large-circulation daily news- papers appeared todominate the means of ideological andcultural productionin the U.S.1 Labor,progressive, andradical leaderscorrectly perceivedthe mass media asan integral part ofthe larger social andeconomic relations ofproduction. Echoing the insights ofKarl Marx, they warnedof how the nation’ s dominantpropertied classes wouldseek to control society’ s “governing ideasand motives” by manipulating the massmedia tojustify, among other things,“ great inequalities in wealth in thecom- munity.”2 EdwardNockels of the Chicago Federation ofLabor (CFL),for example, protestedthat networkradio reinforcedthe luster of consumption, the holiness of the marketplace, andthe infallibility ofbusiness. The Socialist Party contendedthat commercial radio programs wereas standardized as anything rolling outof a Ford factory. Nockelsdescribed such shows as bland entertainment“ whennot outright propaganda or delusivespecial pleading.”3 Suchcriticisms foreshadowedthe arguments of e´migre´ Europeanintellectuals who,by thelate 1930s, woulddenounce mass culture for its bourgeois “consumerism,intellectual vapidness,and political complacency,”and contendthat ruling groups usedit “tomanipulate, pacify, andcontrol” the general public.4 In recentdecades, historians
