  • Barbara Weiser a CANADIAN DESIGNER CREATES MANTLES
    Barbara Weiser A CANADIAN DESIGNER CREATES MANTLES FOR THE PROPHET SCROLLS AT HOLY BLOSSOM TEMPLE In 1990 Rabbi Gunther Plaut of Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto1 commissioned nine mantles for scrolls which had been donated to the synagogue in honour of Abbey Muter, Maurice Young, and Rita Eisendrath. Rabbi Plaut had a particular interest in collecting Judaica for the congregation.2 The nine scrolls, written by a scribe in New York in the early nineteenth century, were in need of new mantles. Estelle Latchman of Toronto, the Chair of the Arts and Acquisitions Committee at the Temple at the time, which curates the synagogue’s art collection, selected Sue Krivel, a Canadian textile artist, for the commission. Krivel set about creating mantles which would present a Jewish historical memory within the context of modernity. This article will highlight how this particular collection of mantle coverings marks a turning point in the historical development of Jewish ceremonial textile art in Canada, most notably in the areas of iconography, fabri- cation, choice of colour, the size, and overall coordination of the visual presentation. Prior to examining the creative expression of Krivel’s collection, it is worth noting that mantles for scrolls date back to the first century of the Christian era (Gutman 1970, 87). Jews in premodern times bestowed care on their scrolls by keeping them in cases (a Sephardic tradition) and/or in cloth coverings. The practical use of mantles is a protective one, but there were 207 208 Barbara Weiser also decorative purposes, of which allusion is made in the Talmudic admonition, “have a beautiful scroll of the Law prepared, copied by an able scribe with fine ink, and wrap it in beautiful silk” (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 133b; Gutman 1970, 91).

  • Remembering a Great Man – Rabbi Gunther Plaut on His Fifth Yahrzeit for the Jewish Ledger March 2017
    Remembering a Great Man – Rabbi Gunther Plaut On His Fifth Yahrzeit For The Jewish Ledger March 2017 I am writing these words calling to mind the fifth yahrzeit of Rabbi Gunther Plaut. He passed away in the winter of 2012. As someone who served as his Assistant Rabbi in Toronto for the six months before his retirement and then had the opportunity to watch him in “retirement” for the next five years, I remain in awe of my teacher. Rabbi Plaut was Rabbi Plaut. Although we live in an age of informality, I never called him by his first name, Gunther. Hardly anyone else did either. Why? Not because he insisted on the formal title, but because he was a man of such stature. He was a giant. A grand smile, boundless energy, and brilliance. He was Rabbi Plaut. In Toronto, when the Free Soviet Jewry movement was galvanizing world Jewry, Rabbi Plaut was the person who spoke at major rallies. When the PLO was at its terrorist peak, Plaut was one of the most fearless and outspoken defenders of Israel anywhere. When he “retired,” he became Vice-Chair of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. In keeping with his convictions, Rabbi Plaut was also the public leader who brought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Toronto for his first Canadian appearance in the mid 60’s. The Rabbi's life was in some sense quite charmed. He led congregations in Chicago and St. Paul before arriving in Toronto. While living in Minnesota, he became friendly with two locals who were destined to become national figures (much like him).

  • Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut Was a Human Rights Advocate
    --> Bob Aaron [email protected] February 18 2012 Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut was a human rights advocate It is not unusual for lawyers, as we advance through our careers, to assemble a short list of our heroes in the legal field — outstanding individuals who have earned our admiration for their achievements in the law. They may be judges, authors, outstanding advocates, or even politicians who have introduced landmark changes to legislation. Dozens of names, both historical and contemporary, readily spring to mind, but for me, my all-time top legal giant was never even a lawyer. Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut, who died last week at age 99, was born in Germany and finished law school just as the Nazis came to power. When he successfully completed his bar exams, he was prevented from becoming a lawyer. “By Nazi decree,” he wrote in the first of two autobiographies, “my law career was now ended; Jews would no longer be admitted to the internship necessary for admission to the Bar.” He turned to religious studies in Germany and the United States, and following ordination as a rabbi, served as a chaplain with the United States Army on the front lines in World War II. On April 12, 1945, he was in Nordhausen, Germany, with the first group of American soldiers to liberate a concentration camp. He later served as a rabbi in synagogues in the United States before coming to Toronto where he served as rabbi of Holy Blossom Temple for almost two decades. In the housing field, the Plaut name will always be connected with the building at 2480 Eglinton Ave.

    Janice Rosen JEWISH ARCHIVAL HOLDINGS IN CANADAILES POSSESSIONS ARCHIVIQUES JUIVES AU CANADA* Scholars interested in the Jewish experience in Canada are probably familiar with the riches of Archives in Canada. Few of the articles appearing in Canadian Jewish StudieslEtudes juives canadiennes could have been written without a visit to at least one institution housing archival records. Material about Jews in Canada can be found in archives across this country. "Jewish Archival Holdings" will be an ongoing section of CJSIEJC, providing descriptions of archival resources of interest to readers of this journal. In this first instalment, I survey the seven largest collections of Canadian Jewish archives in the country. In the future, I will profile other collections, as well as provide information on recent acquisitions.
