The President then introduced the speaker of the evening as follows: —"I take pleasure in presenting as our speaker of the evening Dr. Jacob Rader Marcus. Dr. Marcus is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and was ordained as a Rabbi at the Hebrew Union College in 1920. He received his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Univer- sity of Berlin in 1925. He has been a member of the faculty of the Hebrew Union College for many years and was appointed a full Professor of Jewish History in 1934. He has written many scholarly essays and articles, and is particularly known for his two books THE RISE AND DES- •Re-dected. JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 769 TINY OF THE GERMAN JEWS and THE JEW IN THE MEDI- AEVAL WORLD. For the past several years, he has served as the Chairman of the Committee on Contemporaneous History and Literature of the Central Conference of Ameri- can Rabbis and by virtue of this position, is fully familiar with new developments in Jewish literature." The address by Dr. Marcus was greeted with enthusi- astic applause and ordered printed in the YEAR BOOK. Mr. Simon Miller, past President of the Society, made the following statement: —"Mr. President, I want to voice what I think is the feeling of all those who are interested in the Publication Society. I want to express for them their appreciation of the marvellous work which you and your co-workers have done. You have been called upon to make bricks without straw. You can do that for a little while, but you cannot continue that forever, and the thought occurs to me that since the synagogue is, or at least should be, the center of all the communal work, from it should emanate the impetus to put into being and to carry on the communal work. I want to suggest that the officers put themselves in touch with the Philadelphia Board of Jewish Ministers, and suggest that they put aside a given Saturday, or at least some time, to place before the members of their congregations the need for and the needs of the Publication Society. I am making that suggestion. They might decide upon a certain Saturday for this, and I know of no more fitting one than the Saturday which would commemorate the birthday of Dr. Cyrus Adler." The President thanked Mr. Miller for his suggestion and assured him that the rabbis would be contacted and the suggestion followed. Before adjournment, the President acknowledged the presence of the following out-of-town members of the "official family": Rev. Dr. David Philipson of Cincinnati, whose record of service to the Society dates from its very founding, Rev. Dr. Nathan Krass of New York City, Rev. Dr. Felix A. Levy of Chicago, Dr. Alexander Marx of New York City, Dr. Julian Morgenstern of Cincinnati, 770 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Dr. Shalom Spiegel of New York City and Dr. Harry A. Wolfson of Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. The meeting was adjourned at 10 P. M. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE JACOBS Secretary At the meeting of the Board of Trustees, called imme- diately after the Annual Meeting the following officers were unanimously elected by the Board for the year 1941: Treasurer: HOWARD A.

  • The Debate Over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue
    Jack Wertheimer (ed.) The American Synagogue: A Sanctuary Transformed. New York: Cambridge 13 University Press, 1987 The Debate over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue JONATHAN D. SARNA "Pues have never yet found an historian," John M. Neale com­ plained, when he undertook to survey the subject of church seating for the Cambridge Camden Society in 1842. 1 To a large extent, the same situation prevails today in connection with "pues" in the American syn­ agogue. Although it is common knowledge that American synagogue seating patterns have changed greatly over time - sometimes following acrimonious, even violent disputes - the subject as a whole remains unstudied, seemingly too arcane for historians to bother with. 2 Seating patterns, however, actually reflect down-to-earth social realities, and are richly deserving of study. Behind wearisome debates over how sanctuary seats should be arranged and allocated lie fundamental disagreements over the kinds of social and religious values that the synagogue should project and the relationship between the synagogue and the larger society that surrounds it. As we shall see, where people sit reveals much about what they believe. The necessarily limited study of seating patterns that follows focuses only on the most important and controversial seating innovation in the American synagogue: mixed (family) seating. Other innovations - seats that no longer face east, 3 pulpits moved from center to front, 4 free (un­ assigned) seating, closed-off pew ends, and the like - require separate treatment. As we shall see, mixed seating is a ramified and multifaceted issue that clearly reflects the impact of American values on synagogue life, for it pits family unity, sexual equality, and modernity against the accepted Jewish legal (halachic) practice of sexual separatiop in prayer.

  • HIDING-PLACES in CANAAN. 61 Separate History of Egypt, in Which All the Most Recent Results Will Be Taken Into Account
    HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. 61 separate History of Egypt, in which all the most recent results will be taken into account. HENRY GEORGE ToMKINs. Weston-super-Mare, N01Jember 16th, 1883. HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. V. THE CAVE OF ADULLAM, OR 0LAM, NOT NEAR AnULLAM, BUT AT KHUREITUN. JosEPHUs says this cave was near the city of Adullam, but William of Tyre identifies it with the well-known and often described cave of Khureitftn, four miles south-south-east of Bethlehem. I propose to show that, for once, mediooval credulity proves victorious over antiquity, ability, and the numerical superiority of its opponents. The explanation is simple enough : the Crusaders' rough practical knowledge of David's outlaw wants was a far more reliable guide than the subtler acumen of literary critics. The cave is named in two Biblical episodes. (1) "David departed thence (i.e., from Gath) and escaped to the cave (of) Adullam" (1 Sam. xxii, 1). (2) "Three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to Davi~, into the cave of Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem" (1 Chron. xi, 15, 16). In 2 Samuel xxiii, 13, a copyist's error gives "in the harvest time " for "to the rock." Hence we learn that there was near the cave some conspicuous rock or eminence, as well as some hold or fortress. It seems to me that this same hold is referred to in the following passages :-1 Samuel xxii, 4, 5; 1 Chronicles xii, 8, 16; 2 Samuel v, 17; and just possibly 1 Samuel xxiv, 22.

  • IV: Construction
    IV: Construction The Campaign Organization had raised a sufficient number of pledges. There remained, however, a great deal of work to be done before the Jewish hospital could open its doors, including the transformation of pledges into payments, the finding of suitable land, the construction and equipment of the hospital, and the hiring of an able and competent staff. Before those tasks could be undertaken, it was necessary to establish the post- campaign hospital leadership. Fortunately, much of this had been looked after by the end of the campaign. On August 9, 1929, Allan Bronfman, Michael Hirsch and Ernest G.F. Vaz had petitioned the provincial government for a charter so that the Jewish Hospital Campaign Committee could legally hold property. The government granted this charter, making the hospital committee a corporation, on September 5, 1929. On September 25, the legal formalities having been completed, the "Jewish Hospital Campaign Committee Inc." held its first official general meeting. Elections took place and resulted in the appointment of the following men as Directors: Allan Bronfman, Michael Hirsch, Ernest G.F. Vaz, Samuel Bronfman, Charles B. Fainer, Morris Ginsberg, Robert Hirsch, Abraham H. Jassby, David Kirsch, Joseph Levinson Sr., Michael Morris, Harry Reubins, Hyman M. Ripstein, Alderman Joseph Schubert, Isaac Silverstone, Louis Solomon, Abraham Moses Vineberg and Dr. Max Wiseman. The Directors held their first meeting on October 7 and then chose Allan Bronfman as President of the Board. Other officers appointed included: Michael Hirsch (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Samuel Bronfman (Vice-President), Joseph Levinson Sr. (Treasurer), Robert Hirsch (Secretary) and Ernest Vaz (Executive Secretary).
