America’s most iconic buildings where tourists flock and the business of our government occur, are off-limits. Concern for our nation’s capitol – physically and metaphorically – continues. Terri Denison Budman What does the nation’s news have to do with Ohef Sholom? A lot, according to Timothy Snyder, an American author, professor of history at Yale University, and historian who specializes in the history of Central and Eastern Europe and the Holocaust. I watched an interview with him just a few days before the Inauguration. He said, and I’m paraphrasing here, that we can’t just depend on our institutions to take care of us. We have to take care of and support them. If we want a local newspaper to alert us to the important news of our area and to monitor our cities’ governments, for example, we should read it, subscribe, and if appropriate, advertise. As Snyder listed other examples of institutions to be cared for on his way to his primary point, our democracy, my first thought was of Ohef Sholom. If we want our congregation to be available when we want it, we must support and nurture it along the way – not just when our personal circumstances require or desire its services.

In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates.

  • A Biographical Sketch POPULAR Imagination Often Creates Legends
    CYRUS ADLER A Biographical Sketch By ABRAHAM A. NEUMAN I POPULAR imagination often creates legends about the lives of great personalities. These legends are not whimsical fancies. They are the language of folk psychology. They reveal the traits of character in the heroes which fascinated the popular mind. In Jewish literature the legends usually cluster around the birth of its great characters. Strange omens or miracles are associated with the time or place of the hero's birth that seem to forecast the destiny of the life that follows. At times, Fate anticipates legend. It operates with true facts to produce the effect of legendary symbolism. Such is the impression created by the simple record that Cyrus Adler was born in Van Buren, Arkansas, on September 13, 1863. A small town in a border-line state between the North and the South, Van Buren, Adler's birthplace, may be said to have typified a normal American community. During the Civil War, it formed a battleground for the opposing armies. It experienced in full measure the tragic sacrifices of the struggle which was destined to end in a new cove- nant of union and freedom in America. The time and place were ideally propitious for the rise of a character to whom patriotism and freedom were the essence of religion, to whom the ideal of union had a profoundly mystic appeal, whether it was political union to preserve the republic or religious unity to preserve the faith into which he was born. A restless spirit and a mood of adventure impelled Samuel Adler, the father of Cyrus, as a young immigrant lad from Mannheim, Germany, to strike out for far-off Van Buren in Arkansas.

  • The New Reform Temple of Berlin: Christian Music and Jewish Identity During the Haskalah
    THE NEW REFORM TEMPLE OF BERLIN: CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY DURING THE HASKALAH Samuel Teeple A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2018 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2018 Samuel Teeple All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor During the first decades of the nineteenth century, Israel Jacobson (1768-1828) created a radically new service that drew upon forms of worship most commonly associated with the Protestant faith. After finding inspiration as a student in the ideas of the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, Jacobson became committed to revitalizing and modernizing Judaism. Musically, Jacobson’s service was characterized by its use of songs modeled after Lutheran chorales that were sung by the congregation, organ accompaniment, choral singing, and the elimination of the traditional music of the synagogue, a custom that had developed over more than a millennium. The music of the service worked in conjunction with Protestant-style sermons, the use of both German and Hebrew, and the church- and salon-like environments in which Jacobson’s services were held. The music, liturgy, and ceremonial of this new mode of worship demonstrated an affinity with German Protestantism and bourgeois cultural values while also maintaining Judaism’s core beliefs and morals. In this thesis, I argue that Jacobson’s musical agenda enabled a new realization of German-Jewish identity among wealthy, acculturated Jews. Drawing upon contemporary reports, letters, musical collections, and similar sources, I place the music of Reform within its wider historical, political, and social context within the well-documented services at the Jacobstempel in Seesen and the New Reform Temple in Berlin.
