They too made the journey, PREFACE In his classic work, The Uprooted (1951), Oscar Handlin stopped looking at the impact of immigration on American society and focused instead on the immigration experience as it affected the participants themselves. In the past two decades, students of Jewish immigration have probed more deeply into this adjustment process, studying Jews in their local communities across the country. As one Jewish scholar re- marked, " . before the definitive history of the Jews of the United States . is to be written . the lacunae of local, communal, and regional histories must be written--the empty gaps must be filled in.'" Efforts in this direction have been atteqted with varying degrees of scholarship and by variously qualified researchers--from local merchants to historians--and range from brief narrative accounts to extensive team-supported research. A major undertaking in this field of communal study has recently emerged in :hc .:cgionzl History Series of the American Jewish History Center of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Under the distinguished editorial direction of Salo Baron. t.loshe Davis. and Allan Nevins, six diverse and significant Jewish communities were selected for study, among them Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland study, in process until :his manuscript was vir- tually complete, joins such other recent historical work on Ohio Jewry as a dissertation on the Jews of Toledo and an oral history project in ~olumbus.~This study, then, is an.attempt to fill in some of the remaining gaps in the emergin: story of Jewish life in Ohio. The Jewish community of Akron was selected for special attention for several reasons. Its manageable size (no estimate ever exceeded 8,000 members] permitted fairly wide coverage over a long time period, pro- viding an overview of a total community experience. Akron also appeared to offer a distinctively different environment from most of the urban communities where Jewish immigrants settled. Instead of an arena where many diverse immigrant groups juggled for access to America's ladder of social mobility, Akron presented an environment predominantly midwest- ern, white, Protestant. The city's unusual historical mix as a Nestern Reserve community, one-industry town, magnet for Appalachian resettle- ment, and center of Klan and Evangelical Christian activities further contributed to the special character of Akron's social environment. Finally, for the local Jewish community, Akron's geographical proximity to Cleveland provided opportunities for ready access to a major center of American Jewish communal life which were unavailable to many other small and middle-sized Jewish communities. As the title suggests, the underlying concern of this particular Jewish community study revolves around the question of immigrant adjust- ment, namely, what important life choices were made over a century to permit a satisfactory adjustment to life in Akron. Significant choices obviously had to be made in many areas of life and had to be reassessed under new conditions an3 in different times. As the data accumulated. it scemed most amenable to an overriding topical organization (note chapter headings relating to religious, institutional, social, and interactional decisions). In turn, the topically defined chapters were chronologically subdividcd based on a four-part periodiration scheme V reflecting major identifiable shifts in both national and local his- torical circumstances (1865-18RS; 1885-1929; 1929-1945; 1945-i975). Given these topical and chronological parameters, three basic adjustment scenarios seemed possible and open to investigation: total assimila- tion, complete self-containment, or some admixture of these two posi- tions. It is a hypothesis of this study that the overall adjustment of Akron Jewry was characterized by the last mentioned option--"a little 'bit of each." While this history is primarily a local study, the matter of relationships--to the American historical experience, to Jewish national and international events, to theories of immigration--is central to its intent. The question thus becomes the extent to which major external events and national adjustment patterns can be observed'in Akron. Was Akron a special case, isolated and demonstrably unique, or did it reflect the apparent norm of the American immigrant and/or the American Jewish experience? Chapter I summarizes the external data and concepts to which the Akron Jewish experience can be related. Its detail and organization are such as to permit either background introductory read- ing or "flashback" points of reference for subsequent chapters dealing with directly parallel content on the local level. This framework also forms the basis for the main thesis of this study (elaborated in Chapter I), namely. that throughout its history the major forces of American and Jewish history did reach Akron and furthermore that, despite some ex- ceptions, the local Jewish community co!~sistently responded to these pressures with adjustment patterns typical of the American Jewish com- munity as a whole (which in turn conformed to known theories of immi- gration adjustment). The more immediate external environment of the Akron Jewish community, of course, is the city of Akron itself and the first part of Chapter I1 describes that important context. By way of compariscn, a demographic profile of the local Jewish community is included as well. Chapters 111. IV, and V have an essentially parochial orientation, focusing on local Jews in a local Jewish context as they initiate and implement the structureand content of their religious, organizational, and social life. Chapter VI represents a shift in emphasis to a more interactional f;ame of reference as it probes Jewish-gentile contacts in the economic, civic, political, social, and religious arenas and raises the issue of the extent of local anti-semitism. The final chap- ter attempts to summarize and integrate the above material, proposing generalizations and speculations about Akron-Jewish adjustment which transcend specific topical and chronological headings, and suggesting possible implications of this study for American-Jewish immigration history. I would like to end this beginning with an acknowledgment of those who got me this far. So many individuals from the Akron Jewish community, both in their official and private capacities, provided fascinating data and personal recollections. In this regard special thanks go to the staffs of the Akron Jewish Federation and the Akron Jewish Center. Iaile all the individuals involved can not be named here, special thanks go to Gloria Reich, Nathan Pinsky, and Leslie Flaksman. The taped oral histories, writrep records, and hours of personal time which they made available were invaluable.

The quantitative relationships between body deforma- tions and maneuver outcomes (displacement of the center of mass and change in trajectory) are fundamental to understanding how fish control their maneuvers, yet remain unknown in routine maneuvers. We recorded high‐speed video of eight giant danios (Devario aquepinnatus) performing routine and escape maneuvers and quan- tified the deformation of the midline, the heading of the anterior body, and the kinematics of the centroid (a proxy for center of mass). We found that both routine and escape behaviors used qualitatively similar independent body bending events, which we curvature pulses, that propagate from head to tail but show quantitative differences in midline kinematics and turn outcomes. In routine maneuvers, the direction change and acceleration of the fish are influenced by both the magnitude of the bending pulse and by the duration of the pulse, whereas in escape maneuvers, only pulse duration influenced direction change and turn acceleration.

  • We All Know, the Emancipation Was a Great Turning Point in the History Of
    PROGRESSIVE LITURGIES OF GERMANY AND AMERICA 585 p- John D. Rayner Introduction As we all know, the Emancipation was a great turning point in the history of Judaism, although ‘point' is hardly the right word, since it was a long-drawn- out process extending from the eighteenth century into the twentieth. Nevertheless the initial impact of it was often felt by a single generation, and in Germany by the generation of those born during the Napoleonic era. As we all know; too, the initial impact was for many of the newly emancipated German Jews a negative one so far as their Jewish religious life was concerned because the revolutionary educational, linguistic, cultural and social changes they experienced caused them to feel uncomfortable in the old- style synagogues. And as we all know as well, it is to this problem, of the alienation of emancipated Jewry from the traditional synagogue that the Reformers first and foremost addressed themselves. They believed that if only the synagogue services could be made more attractive, that would halt and perhaps reverse w the drift. 0 . _ {:1 j N In retrospect we can see that they were only partly right. There are other 8E}; factors besides the nature of synagogue worship which determine or influence the extent to which individuals will affirm their Jewish identity \ :8 " and adhere to their Jewish faith, and subsequent generations of Reformers 13E came to recognise that and to address themselves to these other issues also. (3 ‘1‘: Nevertheless the nature of synagogue worship is clearly a factor, and a big one.

    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.

  • “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S
    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.

  • 2006 Abstracts
    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

  • Coming to America…
    Exploring Judaism’s Denominational Divide Coming to America… Rabbi Brett R. Isserow OLLI Winter 2020 A very brief early history of Jews in America • September 1654 a small group of Sephardic refugees arrived aboard the Ste. Catherine from Brazil and disembarked at New Amsterdam, part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. • The Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, petitioned the Dutch West India Company for permission to expel them but for financial reasons they overruled him. • Soon other Jews from Amsterdam joined this small community. • After the British took over in 1664, more Jews arrived and by the beginning of the 1700’s had established the first synagogue in New York. • Officially named K.K. Shearith Israel, it soon became the hub of the community, and membership soon included a number of Ashkenazi Jews as well. • Lay leadership controlled the community with properly trained Rabbis only arriving in the 1840’s. • Communities proliferated throughout the colonies e.g. Savannah (1733), Charleston (1740’s), Philadelphia (1740’s), Newport (1750’s). • During the American Revolution the Jews, like everyone else, were split between those who were Loyalists (apparently a distinct minority) and those who supported independence. • There was a migration from places like Newport to Philadelphia and New York. • The Constitution etc. guaranteed Jewish freedom of worship but no specific “Jew Bill” was needed. • By the 1820’s there were about 3000-6000 Jews in America and although they were spread across the country New York and Charleston were the main centers. • In both of these, younger American born Jews pushed for revitalization and change, forming B’nai Jeshurun in New York and a splinter group in Charleston.
