52 American Jewish Year Book 52 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF JEWS PROMINENT IN THE PROFESSIONS, ETC., IN THE UNITED STATES The Biographical Sketches which follow are a second in- stalment of the series begun in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAE BOOK for 5664. The Sketches there published were of Rabbis and Cantors officially connected with congregations in the United States. On pp. 214-225, will be found additions to the list of last year, designed to keep it up to date. It is intended to complete the series of Biographical Sketches in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK for 5666, in which an attempt will be made to present the biographical data of the men and women who are doing the communal work for the Jews of the United States. The present instalment does not deal with so unified a set of personages as the first dealt with and as the third is de- signed to deal with. It aims to bring together the names and biographical data of the Jews in the United States who have won a place in the professions, in the arts, the sciences, in journalism, in business, in public life. Only one class of pro- fessional men and women have been excluded from the present instalment, namely, those who have trained themselves to preside over Jewish charitable institutions; the superin- tendents and directors of the charities, the superintendents of orphan asylums and kindred institutions, the probation officers, the social settlement workers, etc. Their vocation is so closely allied to the activities that will constitute the ground for inclusion in the next instalment of sketchea BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 53 that it seemed proper to associate them with the communal workers whose leaders and guides they are. A number of cases, indeed, proved the scheme of classifi- cation adopted arbitrary. Many of the personages whose biographical data are presented below have put their attain- ments and their abilities in the service of the Jewish com- munity. On the other hand, a few of those addressed began their careers as professional men, but are now engaged entirely in the service of the community. Their biographies have therefore been reserved for the next instalment. A word as to the data given below. The list does not lay claim to completeness. That it is not even so complete as it might have been made with the co-operation of all persons addressed will appear from the circumstance that blanks and circulars were sent to over nine hundred persons, and only about 475 complied with the request for information. Among those not heard from were some whose biographical data are so well known that they have been compiled from various reference books and inserted-. An asterisk (*) marks in- formation not obtained directly from the subject of the sketch. The circular letters were first sent out in May, a month in which the summer travel to Europe had begun. This may in a measure account for the paucity of responses received from actors, musicians, painters, artists of all sorts. Like- wise army and navy men, in which the list is deficient, move from place to place so frequently and rapidly in the exercise of their profession that it is difficult to reach them within a given short time through their permanent address. These deductions, great as they are, do not cover the large number addressed and not heard from. Among them are, besides authors, editors, physicians, lawyers, engineers, and 54 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK representatives of many other professions and occupations. Over and above all this it must be admitted that if the editorial miracle had come to pass, and the co-operation of all persons addressed had been secured, the list would still have been incomplete, as any list the first of its kind must inevitably be.

  • 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.

  • Jewish Encyclopedia
    Jewish Encyclopedia The History, Religion, Literature, And Customs Of The Jewish People From The Earliest Times To The Present Day Volume XII TALMUD – ZWEIFEL New York and London FUNK AND WAGNALLS COMPANY MDCCCCVI ZIONISM: Movement looking toward the segregation of the Jewish people upon a national basis and in a particular home of its own: specifically, the modern form of the movement that seeks for the Jews “a publicly and legally assured home in Palestine,” as initiated by Theodor Herzl in 1896, and since then dominating Jewish history. It seems that the designation, to distinguish the movement from the activity of the Chovevei Zion, was first used by Matthias Acher (Birnbaum) in his paper “Selbstemancipation,” 1886 (see “Ost und West,” 1902, p. 576: Ahad ha – ‘Am, “Al Parashat Derakim,” p. 93, Berlin, 1903). Biblical Basis The idea of a return of the Jews to Palestine has its roots in many passages of Holy Writ. It is an integral part of the doctrine that deals with the Messianic time, as is seen in the constantly recurring expression, “shub shebut” or heshib shebut,” used both of Israel and of Judah (Jer. xxx, 7,1; Ezek. Xxxix. 24; Lam. Ii. 14; Hos. Vi. 11; Joel iv. 1 et al.). The Dispersion was deemed merely temporal: ‘The days come … that … I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof … and I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land” (Amos ix.

Einleitung Zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts vollzog sich in Deutschland innerhalb des christli- chen Bekenntnisses die Reformation und damit die religiöse Spaltung der deutschen Bevölkerung in einen katholischen und einen protestantischen Teil. Hintergrün- de, Verlauf und Wirkungen dieses religionshistorischen Vorgangs sind im Jahre 2017 aus Anlaß des 500-jährigen Reformationsjubiläums eingehend beleuchtet worden.1 Knapp 300 Jahre nach der Reformation ereignete sich in Deutschland eine zweite religiöse Umwälzung, als das Judentum von einer Veränderung erfaßt wurde, die sich in historischer Perspektive als grundlegend erweisen sollte. Es war nicht der erste grundstürzende Wandel der Lebensbedingungen der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Mitteleuropa. Dauerleitmotiv der Veränderung jüdischer Existenz war über Jahrhunderte hinweg mit ihrem Höhepunkt der Kreuzzüge im 11./12. Jahrhundert die Aufeinanderfolge von Verfolgungswellen. Im Unterschied zu diesem der jüdischen Bevölkerung von außen aufgezwungenen Schicksal wurde die jüdische Gemeinschaft im 17. Jahrhundert ein weiteres Mal, in diesem Falle aber von innen heraus, erschüttert, als sich unter der Anführerschaft von Sabbatai Zwi2 eine mystisch-messianische Bewegung herausbildete und damit weite Teile der jüdischen Bevölkerung Europas in Aufruhr versetzte.

The design built on the questionnaire used in the German project Mobidrive, but developed the set of questions further. All trip destinations of the survey have been geocoded. Moreover, route alternatives for private motorised transport and public transport have been calculated. Moreover, the collected data has been compared with the National Travel Survey 2000 (Mikrozensus zum Verkehrsverhalten 2000), whereas differences in terms of sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents and particularly their travel behaviour couldn't be observed except for an higher proportion of GA and Halbtax ownership. For example, the average trip frequency per person and day is almost the same. In order to check for possible fatigue effects of the amount of reported trips, several GLM (Generalised Linear Model) and poisson regression models have been estimated besides descriptive analysis.
