If you had been in the office at 1666 Windsor Road you would have been welcoming Marion Schechter on her first day of work at Temple Emeth. Some of us (Marion included) remember it as if it were yesterday. To others, it must seem like a historical event. We want to devote our message this month to acknowledging, honoring and celebrating Marion's two decades of devoted service to Temple Emeth, its staff and, most significantly, each of its member families. The length of Marion's tenure is in itself remarkable. Rabbi Sigel was in our pulpit for thirty­ two years and at least one of our Religious School teachers has been with us longer, but Marion's twenty-year tenure puts her near the head of the pack by a significant margin. Longevity, however, is the least of Marion's credentials. Who among us, be it past or present officers, board members, professional staff, committee chairpersons, or individual congregants has not had some aspect of Temple life explained or facilitated by Marion? The answer is virtually no ne. Who among us has not been supported, congratulated, encouraged or, more often than many of us care to remember, jollied out of a black mood? Again, we suggest the answer is most of us. Over the past twenty years we have had three (soon to be four) rabbis, three cantors, three directors of the Early Childhood Center and at least four directors of our Religious School.

  • Honorable Mayor and City Council From
    STAFF REPORT TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARTIN D. KOCZANOWICZ, CITY ATTORNEY SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF POLICY FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF "MAYOR EMERITUS" TITLE BACKGROUND At the July 6 and August 17. 2009 Council meetings, the possibility of establishing a Mayor Emeritus title was agendized for discussion. Shortly before the August meeting Council received a request from a proponent of the potential policy, withdrawing his request for consideration. Council tabled the item. Recently Council has again asked to have the matter agendized for further discussion. Attached to this staff report are the prior staff reports and research materials obtained by staff at that time. (Attachment 1) By agendizing the item for this meeting, the Council may discuss the proposed policy and, depending on the outcome of such discussion, provide additional direction to staff. DISCUSSION As a summary of prior research the title of "Emeritus" is generally associated with the field of academia. According to a dictionary definition, it is an adjective that is used in the title of a retired professor, bishop or other professional. The term is used when a person of importance in a given profession retires, so that his/her former rank can still be used in his/her title. This is particularly useful when establishing the authority of a person who might comment, lecture or write on a particular subject. The word originated in the mid-18th century from Latin as the past participle of emereri, meaning to "earn ones discharge by service". It is customarily bestowed by educational institutions on retiring/retired faculty members or administrators in recognition of their long-term service.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • A JOURNAL of ONOMASTICS Aaron Demsky
    A Note of Remembrance in Honor of Edwin David Lawson (December 23, 1923–July 3, 2021) “There are three different crowns—The crown of Torah, the crown of the priesthood and the crown of royalty, but the best crown is that of a good name.” (The Wisdom of the Fathers 4:13) It is with a sad heart that I write this note upon the passing of my dear friend, the eminent onomastician Edwin David Lawson, beloved by all who knew him. It was around 1990 when I approached the late educator, Avraham Stahl, to discuss the idea of creating a center for the study of Jewish onomastics. His first reaction was that I should speak to Ed Lawson, who “knows everything about the science of onomastics and who had done so much to raise the academic standards of the field.” Ed readily gave his support and identified with the project. We became fast friends, talking on the phone and corresponding frequently. I even enjoyed Ed and Irene’s hospitality on a visit to their home in Fredonia. An added surprise bond was our shared birthdate—December 23rd. Ed became my mentor (rebbe) in onomastic matters. It was an amazing experience to accompany him at international conferences organized by ICOS and the American Names Society and see how he was greeted by senior scholars and young academicians whom he would encourage in their research. Before we met, Ed already had several publications on contemporary Jewish onomastics. These studies dating from 1975 grew out of his visits to Israel and his interest in the political, cultural, and demographic issues of the day.

Hence, through meticulous observations, these signs complimented other findings found on physical examination to further assist in supporting the diagnosis of pericardial disease.
