    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. 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. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 In 1905 by "The Jewish Encyclopedia" at 1,508,435 In 1907 by " The American Jewish Year Book " at 1,777,185 In 1910 by " The American Je\rish Year Book" at 2,044,762 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates.

  • THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY It Is
    THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY By MORDECAI SOLTES, PH.D. Director, Extension Education, Bureau of Jewish Education, New York INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that there is a great need to-day for civic instruction which will function more effectively. Our life and needs are becoming more complex; our stand- ards of civic behavior are being constantly revised upwards, and the civic responsibilities which our citizens must dis- charge are becoming increasingly difficult. Education for citizenship should occupy a central position in the public school curriculum. The civic pos- sibilities of all the school subjects should be utilized to a maximum, and the specific ideals of citizenship should become the possession of the pupils as a result of their entire school training and activity. In addition there should be provided, wherever neces- sary, aside from the general courses, supplementary in- struction to meet specific needs of pupils, which shall have been ascertained beforehand. This suggestion applies with particular force to schools which are located in neighborhoods of comparatively large immigrant populations. Wherever fairly homogeneous groups of children could be located, 166 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK it would prove best to make a diagnosis of the civic virtues ;ind deficiencies of the corresponding adult group, to es- tablish their prevailing civic characteristics, both favorable and unfavorable, and to develop, on the basis of the out- standing needs revealed, special supplementary courses that would tend to prevent or correct the expected short- comings, to improve the desirable traits and approved qualities which are insufficiently or wrongly developed, and to capitalize fully the civic potentialities of the younger generation.

ABSTRACT Jewish humor is a well-known, if ill-defined genre. The prevalence and success of Jewish comedians has been a point of pride for American Jews throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What I undertake in this dissertation is to isolate one particular form of humor—namely satire—and use it as a way to analyze the changing relationship of American Jews to traditional religious forms. I look at the trends over three generations, the third generation (who came of age in the 40s and 50s), the Baby Boom generation (who came of age in the 60s and 70s) and the contemporary generation (who came of age in the 80s and 90s). When the satire produced by each generation is analyzed with the depiction of Judaism and Jewish practices in mind a certain pattern emerges. By then reading that pattern through Bill Brown’s Thing Theory it becomes possible to talk about the motivations for and effects of the change over time in a new way.

  • Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel
    135 “If I am here, then all is here”: Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel By: HILLEL E. BRODER and MOSHE L. LAX “Subjective reflection turns in towards subjectivity, wanting in this inner absorption to be truth’s reflection, and in such a way that…where objectivity was brought forward and subjectivity disappeared, so here subjectivity itself is what is left and objectivity what vanishes.” —Soren Kierkegaard1 “If I am here, then all is here.” —Hillel 2 Perhaps the most central name in rabbinic antiquity, Hillel (c. 60 B.C.E. to c. 20 C.E.) and his affiliated mishnaic and talmudic school (“Beit Hil- lel”) of nearly four centuries figure predominantly in both aggadic ideals and normative legal decisions within the rabbinic textual tradition. Hillel’s school is principal in Mishnaic debates and enjoys victory as the dominant rabbinic voice in the majority of over 350 legal disputes.3 In traditional 1 Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Crumbs ed. Alastair Hannay (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2009), 165. 2 bSukka, 53a. 3 Standard readings of Beit Hillel initialize the house’s genealogy and extend it through 356 C.E. with the death of Hillel II; see most recently Binyamin Lau, The Sages, Vol. 1 (Maggid, 2010), 203–239; Alfred J. Kolatch, Masters of the Talmud: Their Lives and Views (JD Books, 2003), 220. Most significant scholarly opposi- tion to such a traditional theory can be found in Louis Ginzberg “Significance of the Halacha,” On Jewish Law and Lore (Atheneum, 1970). Ginzberg argues that Hillel and Shammai were, in fact, the final Pair (zug) or “preeminent figures” of legal liberalism and conservatism, respectively, who “figured as the last in the period that began with the first Pair, Jose ben Joezer and Jose ben Johanan” (90) referenced in mAbot 1:4–12.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. 1951] The Talmud - A Gateway To The Common Law Charles Auerbach JEWISH LAW has its source in the Divine Commandments, precepts and ordinances given to the children of Israel through Moses at Mt. Sinai and called the Torah (Torah M'Sinai). In Hebrew, these five books of Moses are referred to as Torah Shebiktab (the written law). They constitute the bedrock of all Jewish law. These commandments, precepts and ordinances as set forth in the written law are enunciatory in nature and required much interpretation. There evolved, therefore, through the many generations, a great mass of oral teachings interpreting these laws, so multifarious as to require orderly arrange- ment.

With these words, the Torah seems to be telling us that it is appropriate to be aware of what has transpired before us, to ponder what has happened in history, to consider the experiences of those who lived in generations gone by. While one might study history out of a sense of curiosity, out of an appreciation of an exciting story, or out of a quest for general knowledge, the Torah here indi- cates that there is a more profound goal, namely, to assimilate the message that the past is relevant to us in the present.
