The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century.

  • Jewish Response to Black Lives Matter
    Rabbi Joshua Samuels Congregation Beth Israel Yom Kippur Sermon October 12, 2016 A Jewish Response to Black Lives Matter On March 21, 1965, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marched from Selma to Mont- gomery, arm in arm, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other supporters of the civl rights movement. During this historic walk, Heschel said afterwards that he felt he “was pray- ing with [his] feet.” The photograph of this scene is iconic. We’ve all surely seen it. Rabbi Heschel was not the lone Jewish voice in the fight for civil rights. In fact, Ameri- can Jews played a significant role in the founding and funding of some of the most im- portant civil rights organizations, such as the NAACP, which was also headed by a son of Lithuanian Jewish immigrants.1 In 1964, Jews made up half of the young people who participated in the Mississippi Freedom Summer project which attempted to register as many African American voters as possible in Mississippi, a state that had historically excluded many blacks from vot- ing. That same year, 17 leaders of the Reform Movement, including my rabbi and teacher, Richard Levy, were arrested with Dr. King in St. Augustine, Florida as they protested racial segregation in public spaces. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were drafted in the con- ference room of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington D.C. Rabbi Joachim Prinz was another champion of the Civil Rights movement. He saw the plight of African Americans and other minority groups in the context of his own experi- ence under the Nazi regime.

He possessed no personal fortune, nor was he backed by any state or corporate interest. Yet he met personally with dozens of heads of state: prime minis- ters, presidents, kings, emperors, princes and princesses—as well as legislators, ambassadors, cabinet ministers, first ladies, governors, mayors, generals, chief executives, judges and other leaders of government and industry. Flying across the globe in his plane like a shuttle diplomat, this private citizen met with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; King Leopold of Belgium; American First Lady Nancy Reagan; Chinese Premier Deng Xiaoping; Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie; Jordan’s King Hussein; Egyptian presi- dents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak; and the emperor, crown prince and seven successive prime ministers of Japan. In between, he met the presidents, prime ministers, and/or kings of Spain, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Bangladesh, South Africa, Kenya and Chile— and ambassadors from dozens more countries. Oftentimes at banquets and meetings between such luminaries and himself, it was the latter who was the keynote speaker or the guest of honor.

    In the Shadow of the holocauSt the changing Image of German Jewry after 1945 Michael Brenner In the Shadow of the Holocaust The Changing Image of German Jewry after 1945 Michael Brenner INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE 31 JANUARY 2008 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First Printing, August 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Michael Brenner THE INA LEVINE INVITATIONAL SCHOLAR AWARD, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. The Ina Levine Invitational Scholar also leads seminars, lectures at universities in the United States, and serves as a resource for the Museum, educators, students, and the general public. At its first postwar congress, in Montreux, Switzerland, in July 1948, the political commission of the World Jewish Congress passed a resolution stressing ―the determination of the Jewish people never again to settle on the bloodstained soil of Germany.‖1 These words expressed world Jewry‘s widespread, almost unanimous feeling about the prospect of postwar Jewish life in Germany. And yet, sixty years later, Germany is the only country outside Israel with a rapidly growing Jewish community. Within the last fifteen years its Jewish community has quadrupled from 30,000 affiliated Jews to approximately 120,000, with at least another 50,000 unaffiliated Jews. How did this change come about? 2 • Michael Brenner It belongs to one of the ironies of history that Germany, whose death machine some Jews had just escaped, became a center for Jewish life in post-war Europe.

His two recent books are: A Threat from Within: A Century of Jewish Opposition to Zionism (Palgrave Macmillan/Zed Books) that appeared in fifteen languges and and Compendre l’État d’Israël (Écosociété). Both have been published in Japanese by Heibonsha. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: ISRAEL’S REPOSITIONING IN THE WORLD In its pioneer years, Israel 1 was largely associated with the leftist ideas of collective endeavour and socialist solidarity. Early Israeli elites often came from the kibbutz and were vocal in their allegiance to social justice and equality. This, in turn, brought them admiration and support from socialists around the world. Few noticed that while praised by the left, Israeli society was steadily moving to right. Nowadays Israel has earned the admiration of the right and the extreme right in most Western countries. This paper should explain this apparently puzzling transformation in the international position of this small country in Western Asia.
