Louis Finkelstein (1895-1991)

A HE LIFE OF LOUIS FINKELSTEIN—scholar, educational leader, and religious spokesman—coincided with the ideational and institutional maturation of American Judaism. In this development, Finkelstein, who died in New York on November 29, 1991, played a major role. Judge Simon H. Rifkind, mourning the death of his lifelong friend, summed up Finkelstein's accomplishments in the following way: Dr. Finkelstein [was] essentially a scholar, a very great scholar. ... I credit him with changing the position of Judaism in American society. . .with the transfor- mation of the American synagogue.. .and with an enormous change of the climate of interreligious activity in America. In his role as chancellor of the [Jewish Theological] Seminary, he lifted that institution to the unquestioning premiership of Jewish scholarship with a high reputation in the intellectual communities in the United States and the rest of the world. Finkelstein headed the Jewish Theological Seminary of America for more than three decades (1940-1972), during which time it ordained 662 rabbis. As acknowl- edged head of Conservative Judaism, he led the movement to become the most numerous in American Judaism, and to establish its presence in Europe, Israel, and South America. As the first American-born and American-trained Judaic scholar to attain highest academic distinction, he reintroduced Judaism to the academic world, building intellectual bridges to other faiths and scholarly disciplines. His own contribution to these endeavors is a bibliography of over 375 books, monographs, essays, and reviews, fashioned over the course of three-quarters of a century.1

Early Years Louis Finkelstein was born on June 14, 1895, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Rabbi Simon and Hannah Brager Finkelstein. The parents had come to America eight years earlier from Slobodka, a city in Lithuania famed for its great yeshivah, in which the young rabbi had received his education. In a touching tribute to his parents, found in the foreword to his father's commen- tary on the prayer book, Siah Yitzhak, Finkelstein recalls that "it was my custom when still in the home of my parents to rise before dawn for study of the sacred texts." About his mother, Finkelstein observes: "Even though my father was an avid scholar, still she would urge him on to study more. It caused her great unhappiness that father had to spend so much time on congregational demands and communal

527 528 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993 needs—time he could have spent in study." Mrs. Finkelstein labored mightily to maintain the values of Slobodka as the family moved from Cincinnati to Syracuse to Brooklyn, finally settling in that borough's heavily Jewish Brownsville neighbor- hood. On August 29, 1911, Finkelstein wrote to Dr. Solomon Schechter, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America: I have decided to take up the study of the ministry and desire to enter the Jewish Theological Seminary. I am the son of Rabbi S. Finkelstein of Brooklyn, and am sixteen years of age. I have just graduated from High School and would like to make arrangements in reference to Seminary work before I enter college. My studies in Hebrew have been quite extensive, having reviewed the Bible, and "Tanach" several times, and am thoroughly conversant with the same. Have also studied the following "Msechtoth" of the Talmud: Chulin, Gittin, Kiduschin, Baba Kama, Baba Metzia, and am now studying Baba Bathra; with all of which I am very well acquainted. I would like to see you in reference to this matter and greatly appreciate the favor of an appointment with you. Finkelstein began concurrent studies at the Seminary and at the College of the City of New York in September, 1911. Amazingly, he remained at the Seminary for 80 years, first as a student (1911-1919), and then as instructor in Talmud (1920- 1924), Solomon Schechter Lecturer, associate professor and professor of theology (1924-1934), assistant to the president (1934-1937), provost (1937-1940), president (1940-1951), chancellor (1951-1972), and, finally, chancellor emeritus (1972- 1991). While studying at the Seminary, Finkelstein received his BA from the College of the City of New York in 1915 and a PhD from Columbia University in 1918, with a dissertation on The Commentary of David Kimchi on Isaiah, Edited, With His Unpublished Allegorical Commentary on Genesis, on the Basis of Manuscripts and Early Editions, Part I, Chapters 1-39. Upon his ordination in 1919, Finkelstein became rabbi of Kehilath Israel, a prestigious acculturated but traditionalist congre- gation in the Bronx that had long Seminary associations. A year later Finkelstein was invited to join the Seminary faculty on a part-time basis as instructor in Talmud. The first years of Finkelstein's career were marked by a succession of significant achievements. Among those were the appearance of his first published article, "Recent Hellenistic Literature," in the Jewish Quarterly Review in 1921. In 1923 Louis Ginzberg, the Seminary's professor of Talmud, granted Finkelstein a special hattarat hora 'ah ordination attesting to his mastery of talmudic literature—the first of only two such certificates that Ginzberg granted during his long teaching career. In 1924, Finkelstein's first book, Jewish Self Government in the Middle Ages, was published by the Jewish Theological Seminary. LOUIS F1NKELSTEIN (1895-199 1) / 529 Conservative Judaism While Finkelstein's teaching at the Seminary proved successful and his list of publications was growing, his chosen priority in the decade of the 1920s was his congregation. The synagogue grew in numbers and its facilities were expanded; added to the worship services were a Friday-evening lecture forum, a Young Peo- ple's League, and youth activities. Kehilath Israel was a model "modern synagogue" with programs designed to meet the needs of every member of every family. Of growing interest to Finkelstein during these years was the Conservative move- ment, and especially its organization of rabbis, the Rabbinical Assembly of America. In 1927, Finkelstein, as vice-president, delivered an address at the group's annual convention that was his first attempt to delineate a comprehensive ideology for Conservative Judaism. Among the things Finkelstein had to say were the following: Our Attitude Toward the Torah: Judaism is a developing religion, which has undergone an historical change ... of growth, self-expression and foliation. . . . Because we regard the Torah as prophetically inspired ... the legalism of the rabbis as the finest and highest expression of human ethics, we accept the written and oral law as binding and authoritative. . .. We are drawn to the Torah by love for its ceremonies, its commandments, its rules, and its spirit. We delight in its study, and find in it comfort and consolation, discipline and guidance. Our Attitude Toward Change in Ceremonial: As to the proposed innovations and new interpretations, there is none of us so bigoted as to refuse to cooperate with those who are attempting them, provided always that the ultimate purpose of change is to strengthen the attachment of Israel to the whole of the Torah, and that it does not defeat its own ends by striking at the fundamentals of Judaism. Our Attitude Toward Palestine: We want to see Palestine . . . rebuilt as the spiritual center of Israel. . . . We want Eretz Israel established as a Jewish community; if possible as an autonomous one. Our Attitude Toward the Hebrew Language: We are entirely sympathetic to the establishment of Hebrew as the language of conversation, and learning. ... A Hebrewless Judaism we conceive to be an impossibility. Finkelstein concluded his address with a powerful call to arms: We are the only group in Israel who have a modern mind and a Jewish heart, prophetic passion and western science. . . . And it is because we are alone in combining the two elements that can make a rational religion, that we may rest convinced that given due sacrifice and willingness on our part, the next generation will be saved by us. Certainly it can be saved by no other group.

Teacher, Scholar, Administrator At the urging of Professor Ginzberg, Finkelstein was asked in 1931 to assume full-time responsibilities at the Seminary as the Solomon Schechter Professor of Theology. In 1934, Finkelstein was appointed assistant to the president and in 1937, provost. Finkelstein's freedom from congregational work allowed more time for his 530 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993 scholarly activities as well as greater participation in the larger academic world and in national Jewish communal life. It also enabled Cyrus Adler, the president of the Seminary, who turned 70 in 1933, to rely more and more on his "devoted colleague." Two important works that Finkelstein published during this period were Akiba: Scholar, Saint, Martyr (1936) and The (1938). While both were works of basic academic scholarship, they also sought to overcome negative Christian stereo- types with regard to "legalism." Thus Finkelstein observes about Akiba: "... the contour of Western thought, generally, has been affected by his philosophy. His ideas involved those of Maimonides, Gersonides and Crescas. These men influenced a whole series of Latin writers from Thomas Aquinas to Spinoza, who in turn laid —the foundation of modern thought. ... In our generation special interest attaches to Akiba as one of the builders of civilization." Finkelstein characterized Pharisaism as "Prophetism in action" and sought to establish a kinship between it and American Puritanism. This point was developed in an address that he delivered in 1937 as the culmination of a year of scholarly festivities celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Theological Seminary, which was a tour de force of polemical confrontation: It is not our purpose to revive the ancient, unnecessary and even unspiritual controversy regarding the relative merits of Judaism and Christianity. The Judeo-Christian tradition, properly understood, is a single system of thought, of which Judaism is the core, and Christianity the periphery. It is a tradition which recognizes the discipline of the law as essential to human behavior, and which sees in proper conduct one of the most effective methods for man to approach God. . . . It was a very legalistic Christianity which in the form of Puritanism laid the foundations of our own great republic. . . . The Pharisees and the Puritans who in different ages advocated almost precisely the same patterns of behavior... both those of ancient Jerusalem and those of modern New England have been pre- sented to us as bigoted fanatics and narrow-minded casuists by men who rebel against the necessary discipline of life. . . . The truth is that we need Law and Discipline in life, but that this law and discipline must take cognizance of the goals they are intended to serve. In 1938, at Finkelstein's initiative, the Institute for Religious and Social Studies was founded and became a part of the Seminary's program, with clergymen of all faiths meeting together weekly for study and discussion. This was followed in 1940 by the establishment of the Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religion, which yielded 18 volumes of symposia, coedited by Finkelstein. As provost (1937-1940), Finkelstein became the administrative head of the Semi- nary. His immediate challenges were the precarious financial situation of the institu- tion and the need to augment the faculty. Annual contributions in 1937 amounted to only $23,000, while only three members remained of Schechter's famed faculty— Louis Ginzberg, Alexander Marx, and Mordecai Kaplan. By 1945, annual contribu- tions rose to over $500,000; added to the faculty were Boaz Cohen and Robert Gordis—both graduates of the Seminary—as well as H.L. Ginsberg, Saul Lieber- man, Sholom Spiegel, and Abraham Joshua Heschel. LOUIS FINKELSTEIN (18 9 5-1991) / 531

Study and research continued—and would continue—to be a central preoccupa- tion for Finkelstein, even as his administrative and public responsibilities multiplied. He wrote and edited numerous books, articles, and reviews on a broad spectrum of Jewish topics, including the widely used Jews: Their History, Culture and Religion (1949), American Spiritual Autobiographies (1948), and Social Responsibility in an Age of Revolution (1971), all of which he edited. Discussing Finkelstein's scholar- ship, Judah Goldin wrote, in his Encylopedia Judaica article on him: "He published more than a hundred critical investigations of fundamental documents of Judaism, exploring the historical and social conditions reflected in liturgical texts . .. proving their antiquity." Goldin notes that Finkelstein's Pharisees "roused controversy because of his assertions that economic and social conditions influenced the forma- tion of Pharisaic ideology. These studies lifted the discussion of historical problems from the parochial or purely doctrinal to the broad plane of social history." After retirement in 1972, he worked on a critical edition of the Sifra, a fourth-century commentary on the book of Leviticus. Goldin summarizes Finkelstein's scholarship in these words: "In all his scholarly work Finkelstein exhibited a fastidious attention to detail, particularly to textual variants in manuscripts, early printed editions, and citations in geonic and post- geonic literary works, and an awareness of what is central in each period. In both his scholarly and his administrative activities, he made enormous contributions to an understanding and acceptance of the values and insights of talmudic-rabbinic Judaism."

President and Chancellor When Cyrus Adler passed away on April 7, 1940, Finkelstein was named acting president; soon thereafter "acting" was removed. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, American Jewry emerged as the leading Jewish community in the world. "Finkelstein envisioned the Seminary guiding American Jewry as it responded to the challenges of its new position," writes Pamela Nadell in Conservative Judaism in America (1988). She notes: In a special conference held in 1946, Finkelstein publicly outlined the postwar plans he had forged in his early years as president. First, the Seminary would have to produce a large number of rabbis for American and even for world Judaism to organize and staff the hundreds of new congregations he expected to spring up in the coming years. . . . These synagogues and their schools would need 2,000 teachers. Educating large numbers means that the Seminary would have to ex- pand its faculty, add to its Library, which had suffered during the Depression, and fund more scholarships. Furthermore, it should educate not only rabbis but also cantors, scholars and Jewish social workers. Because the New York school could not possibly do this job alone, the Conservative movement would have to establish Seminary colleges throughout North America. . . . The Seminary must reach out to Jewish laity by enriching their adult education programs, hosting summer retreats, expanding its museum, and producing radio shows. It must engage in interfaith dialogue and assert its moral leadership in ethical affairs to teach a world that had once gone mad never to do so again. What is most 532 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993

remarkable is not the scope of Finkelstein's vision but the fact that he accom- plished so much of what he set out to do. To accomplish his aims, Finkelstein recruited a corps of highly motivated, skilled associates. Chief among them were such Seminary-trained rabbis as Simon Green- berg, Max Arzt, Moshe Davis, and Bernard Mandelbaum. With their eye on the future, they and other colleagues established a broad program of recruitment and training of rabbis, scholars, and teachers, using as vehicles the network of Ramah camps, the Leadership Training Fellowship of High School Students, the Prozdor High School, a joint program for undergraduates with Columbia University, and a special track in the rabbinical school for promising scholars. Many of today's leading Jewish scholars in American and Israeli universities, as well as on the Seminary faculty, were drawn to their life's work through these activities. The Jewish Theological Seminary of America Register for 1940-41, the year of Finkelstein's ascendancy to the presidency, listed the components of the institution: Rabbinical Department; Teachers Institute; Seminary College of Jewish Studies; Israel Friedlaendar Classes; Library; Museum of Jewish Ceremonial Objects; Semi- nary Institute of Jewish Affairs; and Institute of Interdenominational Studies. At the commencement exercises in 1941, the first over which the new president pre- sided, eight men were ordained "Rabbi, Teacher and Preacher," while nine students received degrees of Bachelor of Jewish Pedagogy from the Teachers Institute, and six, Bachelor of Hebrew Literature. The Register for 1970-73, Finkelstein's last years in office as chancellor, describes the Seminary as "the academic and spiritual center of the Conservative movement in Judaism" and lists the following programs and institutions: With five degree-granting schools at its New York campus (The Graduate Rab- binical School, The School of Judaica, The Teachers Institute-Seminary College of Jewish Studies, The Cantors Institute and the Seminary College of Jewish Music) and a sixth in Los Angeles (The University of Judaism) the Seminary has a student body exceeding 800 and a faculty of close to 100 full and part-time scholars. In addition, there were the following "academic adjuncts": The Institute for Reli- gious and Social Studies, the Herbert H. Lehman Institute of Talmudic Ethics, the Seminary Israel Institute, the Abbell Research Institute in Rabbinics, the American Jewish History Center, the Melton Research Center for Jewish Education, and in Israel, the Schocken Institute for Jewish Research and the American Students Center. To these need be added such outreach extensions as the Jewish Museum, Ramah Camps, and the weekly "Eternal Light" radio and "Frontiers of Faith" TV series. Even as the Seminary was expanding, the fame of its chief was growing. In 1944, Finkelstein received from Columbia University the first of the dozen honorary degrees that he was awarded. The October 15, 1951, issue of Time, America's most popular news magazine, placed a portrait of Finkelstein on its cover LOUIS FINKELSTEIN (18 9 5-1991) / 533 and made his life and views the center of a feature article on Jews and Judaism in America. In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy appointed Finkelstein as one of his representatives to the coronation of Pope Paul VI.

Movement Tensions Finkelstein's leadership of the Seminary and Conservative Judaism was not with- out controversy. There were Seminary alumni who were critical of the rapidly expanding program of the institution—institutes, conferences, radio and TV pro- grams—because they saw these as peripheral intrusions which threatened to drain resources and energies from the central components of the Seminary—the Rabbini- cal School and the Teachers Institute. There were those, many of them leaders of the Rabbinical Assembly and the United Synagogue, who argued that the Semi- nary's staunch traditionalism was inimical to the dynamic nature of Conservative Judaism. Finally, there were those who criticized Finkelstein as being insufficiently Zionist. In the 1940s and early 1950s, Finkelstein had, in fact, been less than enthusiastic about political Zionism. Among other reasons, he was reluctant to give allegiance to a movement that he saw as replacing religious identity with national- ism. By the 1960s, however, the Seminary and the Conservative movement had established close ties with Israel, and the rancor was barely a memory. During the more than three decades that he headed the Seminary, Finkelstein was the acknowledged leader of Conservative Judaism. He labored hard to maintain the primacy of the Seminary in all matters pertaining to the Conservative movement and to promote a strong traditionalist policy. Thus, in 1947, when the United Synagogue sought to accord a central role to lay leaders in a projected formulation of an ideology for Conservative Judaism, Finkelstein thwarted the attempt, arguing that only rabbis and scholars had the requisite credentials to undertake such an effort. In 1952, when the Rabbinical Assembly began to vigorously pursue a solution to the problem of the agunah (abandoned wife) that the traditionalists on the Seminary faculty considered a departure from strict halakhic process, Finkelstein insisted that the Seminary be given a role in the endeavor. The resultant Joint Law Conference succeeded in removing decision making from the Rabbinical Assembly, effectively restraining an adventurous interpretation of the law for 14 years, till 1968, when the Joint Law Conference was dissolved. In a Conservative movement that had from its inception accepted and permitted diversity and that was committed to both tradition and change, Finkelstein's self- chosen role was that of the upholder of tradition and restraining influence on those impatient for change. This was due in large measure to Finkelstein's own traditional- ist sensibility, but also to his understanding of the tripartite institutional composi- tion of Conservative Judaism and the role that each element should play. The United Synagogue, because of its "worldly" nature, would be the advocate for change; the Seminary, as an institution of learning and conservator and transmitter of the "eternal verities," would naturally be the defender and promoter of traditionalism; 534 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993 while the Rabbinical Assembly, exposed to the demands of both tradition and change, would serve as mediator. As time went on, and the United Synagogue became ever more worldly and the Rabbinical Assembly ever more drawn to change, Finkelstein labored all the harder to have the Seminary function as the champion of tradition. It may well be that Finkelstein's greatest contribution to Conservative Judaism was to demand, with all the influence and vigor at his command, spiritual content and halakhic discipline of a movement growing at so rapid a pace that sociological considerations threatened to overwhelm theological imperatives. Still, some might argue that inhibiting the evolutionary expansion of halakhic parameters in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s only helped to hasten the revolutionary changes that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. Louis Finkelstein was a charismatic personality, a forceful leader, and a passion- ate advocate. To those who knew him best he was a harmonious amalgam of biblical prophet, rabbinic sage, 19th-century rav, and 20th-century executive. A correspon- dent for the New York Times visiting him in his 90th year (1985) found him at work on his critical edition of the Sifra. Asked why after being so involved in world events he had decided to return to the sacred texts, Finkelstein replied, "I never left them." He continued working on his magnum opus almost to the last day of his life, six years later.

ABRAHAM J. KARP Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991)

VV HEN ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER DIED in Florida on July 24, 1991, it could be accurately said that Yiddish prose fiction died with him. He was the last in a series of great Yiddish story writers and novelists that began with Mendele Mokher Seforim in the 1870s but has no successors. Although a smattering of Yiddish fiction will no doubt go on being written in years to come, it is hard to imagine a new author of Singer's stature emerging from the ultra-Orthodox ghettos of America and Israel, the last islands on earth where Yiddish is the spoken language of a community. True, Singer himself emerged from the ultra-Orthodox community of Jewish , where he was born on July 14, 1904, in the small town of Leoncin, the son of the Hassidic rabbi Pinchas Mendel Singer and of the daughter of a rabbi, Bas- sheva Zilberman. (It was from his mother that he took the pen name of Bashevis.) But the critical difference is that when Singer—whose family moved to Warsaw in 1908—gave up the observant life of a rabbinical student in his late teens and decided to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Israel Joshua, and become a writer, he found waiting for him beyond the threshold of the study house a city of tremen- dous Jewish vitality, teeming with Yiddish newspapers, literary magazines, theaters, artistic circles, and political and cultural movements of every kind. Not only were there publishers and an audience for his stories, of which the first to see print appeared in the journal Literatishe Bletter in 1924, but also the bohemian Yiddish world he now entered was quickly assimilated by his literary imagination alongside the religious environment he grew up in, both functioning there henceforward as mirroring halves of a single totality. Indeed, one of the main features of Singer's fiction is that tradition and modernity are not treated in it as thematic opposites, the way they are in most 20th-century Yiddish and Hebrew literature—the one being associated with social obligation, restriction, and repression, but also with structure, meaning, and community, and the other with alienation, anomie, and dissolution as well as with individual striving and freedom. In Singer, all of these oppositions are already located within the world of tradition itself, of which modernity seems not so much a discontinuity as a more formless replication. This can be seen clearly in Singer's first novel, Satan in Goray (English transla- tion, 1958), which was serialized and then published in book form in Warsaw in 1935. Set in 1666 in an isolated Polish shtetl modeled on his mother's native town of Bilgoray, Satan in Goray tells of the chiliastic fervor caused by the belief in the false messiah Sabbetai Zevi, which leads to the abandoning of all religious and social restraints in the course of a Jewish Walpurgis-year. Although Singer's Goray, which

535 536 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993 is already fully populated by the imps, devils, dybbuks, and crazed and possessed individuals who were later to become his trademark, was based on the historical facts of Sabbatianism, these fully confirmed his own vision in which pious Jews too—and by extension all human beings, even at their most disciplined—harbor the demons of moral and sexual debauchery within themselves and have no need of the philosophies of secularism to find rationalizations for releasing them. The same year, 1935, Singer emigrated from Poland to America, leaving behind a wife and small son who shortly afterward traveled to Russia and then settled in Palestine. His first years in New York were isolated and unproductive. "When I came [to America]," he later said of this period, "it seemed to me that Yiddish was finished; it was very depressing. The result was that for five or six or seven years I couldn't write a word.... By the age of forty many writers, including my brother, had composed great masterpieces, and I hadn't accomplished anything except for one small book—Satan in Goray." He was ultimately helped out of this "literary amnesia," as he called it, by his association with , the Yiddish newspa- per that began publishing his stories in its pages and served—in some ways quite literally until his marriage to Alma Haimann in 1940—as an American home. It was there, from 1945 to 1948, that he serialized his second novel, The Family Moskat (English, 1950), a panoramic canvas of prewar Jewish Poland written in the mode of social realism that his brother, I.J. Singer, the author of the family novel The Brothers Ashkenazi, was better known for. The Family Moskat was followed by two more large novels in the same vein, The Manor (English, 1967) and The Estate (English, 1970), which continued the saga of Polish Jewry back into the 19th century. But social realism—in which he was perhaps competing with his brother on grounds unfavorable to his own talents—was not Bashevis's forte, and if he was meanwhile acquiring a reputation among serious critics in America, this was more for his short stories, the first volume of which, Gimpel the Fool, came out in English in 1954. (Its title story had appeared the year before in Review, in a translation by Saul Bellow, and marked the beginning of Singer's recognition outside the severely diminished world of post-Holocaust Yiddish letters.) Here one already sees all the elements of the "Singer style," in part formed by his years of writing for the Yiddish press, that was gradually winning a growing non-Yiddish and even non-Jewish readership: the firm commitment to a clear story line at a time when serious modern fiction was increasingly moving the other way; the sharp, aggressive prose that never paused to reflect on itself or to be deflected from its narrative purpose; the concentration on idiosyncratic and socially marginal characters who often tend to be driven by some peculiar obsession or mania; and last but not least, the uninhibited mix of natural and supernatural elements in settings often less traditional than that of Satan in Goray. Thus, in a typical story in Gimpel the Fool, "The Mirror," an imp lures a bored housewife into her bedroom mirror with promises of sexual pleasure that turn into the torments of Hell. Whether Singer did or did not believe in the existence of the I. B. SINGER (1904-1991) / 537 supernatural creatures who people many of his tales (in the numerous interviews he liked to give he sidestepped the issue with coyly ambiguous answers), these served him as a means of demarcating various states of the human soul in a manner most compatible with his narrative methods. One can speak of an imp or of unconscious fantasies; of Hell experienced in a mirror or of the tawdry sufferings of actual adultery; the difference between folklore and psychology, as far as Singer was concerned, was that he could get to the point more quickly, dramatically, and picturesquely via the coordinates of folklore. The territory of the soul, he believed, was the same in all ages, but the ancients had mapped it more readably than the moderns. There are significantly, however, almost no angels in Singer's fiction. Here, under- neath its often mischievous surface, lies its fundamental paradox, for although virtue in it is clearly labeled as virtue and sin as sin, almost everything that is most active and passionate in its characters inclines them to the realm of sin. There is thus something contrived in Singer's attempt to preserve a semblance of traditional moral order in a universe in which energy is the undisputed domain of evil and a passive quietism the chief refuge of good. Nowhere perhaps is this dilemma better illustrated than in his novel The Magician of Lublin (first serialized in the Forward in 1958 and published in English in 1960), whose protagonist—a professional performer with Houdini-like skills—repents a life of libertinism in the book's final pages by locking himself remorsefully in an empty cell, the only confinement he has been unable to escape from in his life. Singer always claimed to be a great admirer of Spinoza, and there is indeed something Spinozistic in the withdrawal and monkish contemplation with which The Magician of Lublin ends. After The Slave (English translation, 1962), which was serialized in the Forward in 1961 and in which Singer returned again to a complex moral allegory set in the world of medieval Poland, he wrote no more major novels. He did, however, continue to publish numerous short stories (many of them in the prestigious New Yorker), which appeared in several collections, such as The Spinoza of Market Street (1961), Short Friday and Other Stories (1964), A Friend of Kafka (1970), and Passions (1976), as well as the short novels Enemies: A Love Story (1972) and Shosha (1978). By now he was widely regarded in the United States almost as an American author; many of his stories from this period, although their first drafts were written in Yiddish, were first published and even edited in English translation, and his receipt of the National Book Award in 1970 and 1974, as well as such Broadway and Hollywood adaptations of his fiction as the stage play Taibele and Her Demon (1979) and Yentl (1983), made him a nationally known figure even before his receipt of the 1978 Nobel Prize for literature. It would be unfair to say that Singer has been more admired by Gentiles than by Jews, and even in translation there are subtleties in his narratives that only knowl- edgeable Jewish readers will notice. It is true, however, that the American Jewish community reacted to him with ambivalence—part in pride at his accomplishment and part in defensiveness at his depictions of Jewish life, which often went to an 538 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1993

opposite extreme from the pious sentimentalization of shtetl culture prevalent after the Holocaust. Certainly Singer was no historian, and his description of historical Jewish communities was literature, not fact. Yet in some ways he belonged to the same broad spectrum of Jewish revisionism, best represented in the world of scholar- ship by Gershom Scholem (who, like Singer, was intrigued by Sabbatianism and its offshoots), which sought to reverse apologetic 19th-century conceptions of Judaism as a religion of decorum and rationality by stressing the latter's mythic and mystical qualities and pointing to the great gap that often existed between the beliefs preached by rabbinic leadership and the folk practices of common Jews. For both Scholem and Singer, this deep rapport with the irrational elements in the human psyche was what gave Judaism its true power, but it was a power that could easily turn on those who tapped it; hence, its great fascination. The serious critics have been of two minds about Singer. On the one hand, there are those like Robert Alter who caution us not to look for nonexistent depths in him: he should be approached, Alter has written, "not as an explorer of theological and philosophical profundities or as an 'epic' portrayer of a vanished world, but as a magical teller of tales." On the other hand, one finds commentators like David Neal Miller in his Fear of Fiction: Narrative Strategies in the Works of Isaac Bashevis Singer who argue that, far from being an immensely gifted but essentially unreflec- tive storyteller, Singer was a "self-conscious modernist," much of whose work has been an experiment with "recurring narrative situations ... of increasingly ambigu- ous fictional status." Irving Howe, one of the few major critics to have read Singer in Yiddish, takes an intermediate position when he observes, "If Singer's work can be grasped only on the assumption that he is crucially a 'modernist' writer, one must add that in other ways he remains profoundly subject to Jewish tradition." And Howe concludes an essay on Singer by remarking: "What finally concerns Singer most is the possibilities for life that remain after the exhaustion of the human effort, after failure and despair have come and gone. Singer watches his stricken figures from a certain distance, with enigmatic intent and no great outpouring of sympathy, almost as if to say that before such collapse neither judgment nor sympathy matter very much. Yet in all of his fiction the Promethean effort occurs, obsessional, churning with new energy and delusion. In the knowledge that it will, that it must recur, there may also lie hidden a kind of pity, for that too we would expect, and learn to find, in the writer who created Gimpel."
