MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE A Quarterly Volume-57 MARCH, 1962 Number 1 \ HENRIETTA SZOLD AND THE RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT SCHOOL By ALEXANDRA LEE LEVIN AFTER the repressive measures known as the May Laws of ^*- 1882 were directed against the Jews of Russia, a flood of East European Jews poured into the United States. This influx was so massive that the urban centers to which the immigrants flocked found their rapid absorption difficult. While Baltimore did not have as overwhelming a problem as New York's tene- ment sweat-shops, still there were problems here, too. Balti- more may not have had a Hester, a Ludlow, or an Essex Street, but it had its Exeter, High, Aisquith, East Baltimore and East Lombard Streets. The Jewish immigrants, freed for the first time from the oppression of centuries, threw themselves into the mad scramble of trying to establish themselves in a new country, and had little time or inclination for anything pertain- ing to culture. 1 2 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE The fact that learning among the " People of the Book " had fallen to such a low ebb in America was a source of distress and uneasiness among some of the educated Jews, and the first person to take an active step in rectifying the situation in Baltimore was a twenty-nine-year-old school teacher, Miss Henrietta Szold. She had a full-time position at the Misses Adams' School for Girls at 222 West Madison Street, where she taught arithmetic, algebra, geometry, ancient history, botany, physiology, English, German, French, Latin, and whatever else was needed. -

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 n d S A n d ra S . b o R n S J ew i S h S T u d i e S P Ro g ra m Annual Magazine I Volume 46 I Fall 2018 From the Interim Director s my year as Interim Director of the Borns Jewish Studies Program (JSP) comes to a close, I look back and find myself astonished at the continued breadth and energy of our extraordinary faculty, students, staff, and supporters. Recalling the rich Avariety of courses and events that comprised this year, I saw, as never before, the invaluable role of Jewish Studies (JS) in helping students think about the ever-shifting world around them. My first class session of fall 2017 coincided with a solar eclipse; and as I looked out over more than a hundred students who would devote a part of their studies to the many angles of Jewish identity, the metaphor of moving from temporary darkness to enlightenment proved an apt metaphor. Just as my colleagues regularly face crowds of students seeking knowledge in Hebrew Bible, Jewish/Christian/Muslim comparative studies, the Holocaust, and other important topics, so did I recognize the weight of my responsibility to give students a meaningful insight into our world, with JS as the lens. By the end of the spring, with a late snowfall imminent (and cold metaphors already overused), I welcomed 110 students, colleagues, parents, advisory board members, and other Judah Cohen supporters at our annual gala dinner as we celebrated our year together and launched our graduates with pride. -
