  • Discussion Questions for Appetite for America by Stephen Fried
    Discussion Questions for Appetite for America by Stephen Fried 1. Why did Western railroad passengers eat a trackside restaurants rather than in dining cars? 2. How and why did Fred Harvey create the first national chain of restaurants (and later hotels)? 3. How and why were the famous Harvey Girls invented? 4. Did Fred Harvey’s businesses change attitudes about gender and race in America? 5. Why did the Fred Harvey company later go into the dining car business--and compete against itself by still running trackside restaurants? 6. How and why did Fred Harvey and the Santa Fe Railroad turn New Mexico and Arizona into major international tourist attractions? 7. How did family issues affect the business after Fred Harvey was no longer involved? 8. How did Fred Harvey assure that his name and his standards would live on after his death? 9. How and why did Fred Harvey's heir Ford go into business with Native American artisans? 10. What role did the Fred Harvey operation at the Grand Canyon play in the development of western tourism and the national parks? 11. What early restaurant and hotel chains were influenced by Fred Harvey? 12. There are examples of Harvey House restaurants’ generosity, during the Great Depression, for instance. “It was company policy never to let anyone who couldn’t afford to pay to leave hungry.” (Chapter 37: Loaves and Fishes). Are there examples of this today or are such practices entirely a thing of the past? 13. What role did the Fred Harvey Indian Detours play in the development of Santa Fe as one of the nation's top tourist attractions? 14.

  • Shabbat Vayishlach 5781 ​Connecting to Israel Through TV
    Shabbat Vayishlach 5781 Connecting to Israel through TV: My Favorite Israeli Shows Streaming Now, and What ​ They Say About Israel Today Rabbi Alex Freedman Shabbat shalom! Let's begin with a joke: What did Moses share in common with most American Jews? He always talked about making Aliyah but never actually did! ​ ​ OK, I'm being unfair to Moses, a man who devoted himself endlessly to the People Israel. It made him sick that G-d did not let him enter the Promised Land. (Even though - brace yourselves - Moses actually did set foot in Israel. More on that later). ​ ​ These weeks, many synagogues are following the lead of the American Zionist Movement and hosting a Zionist Shabbat to strengthen the connection between our communities and Israel. Thanks to Sandy Starkman for encouraging this. The AZM does wonderful things to bring us closer to Israel, and our own Rabbi Kurtz is a former president of the AZM. Clearly, the best way to connect to Israel is to go there, to “Kum Hit’halech Ba’aretz,” to ​ ​ walk about it with your own two feet. To feel with your own heart that you’ve returned home. To see with your own eyes the golden hue of Jerusalem stone as the sun sets. To hear with your own ears “Shabbat shalom!” from every direction everywhere you go on Fridays. To taste with your own mouth the heavenly combination of warm, soft, fresh pita bread, savory hummus and crunchy-on-the-outside falafel. Israel, the land of milki ​ and honey. So what are we to do these days, when we cannot safely travel there because of Coronavirus? Today I want to speak about a relatively new way of connecting to Israel: television.

Native Americans have attracted entrepreneurs, tourists, anthropologists, artists, historians and writers, all of whom have played a role in creating and perpetu­ ating a romantic image of the "American Southwest" and "In­ dian Country."1 For more than ninety years, the pleasant, classic visage of a Navajo Indian woman has gazed out at the American public from postcards, playing cards, and the pages of books. 2 Travelers who journeyed to the West over the Santa Fe Railroad between 1903 and 1923 could enjoy a personal encounter with Elle of Ganado as she worked at her blanket loom in the Indian Building next to the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque.3 Occasionally, Elle made appearances at fairs and shows representing the "Indian Southwest" on behalf of the Fred Harvey Company and the Santa Fe Railroad.
