  • Interview: How an Architect and a Judaica Artist Transformed the Park Avenue Synagogue
    Park Avenue Synagogue exterior Rendering of Park Avenue Synagogue chapel Photo: Frank Oudeman Courtesy of MBB Architects Interview: How an architect and a Judaica artist transformed the Park Avenue Synagogue By Michelle Sinclair Colman June 13, 2019 In a unique partnership, New York City architect Mary Burnham and Chicago Judaica artist and architect Amy Reichert, who happened to be close friends from col- lege, worked together to renovate the Park Avenue Syn- agogue’s Eli M. Black Lifelong Learning Center. The pair oversaw the gut-renovation of the historic townhome on Manhattan’s Upper East Side as a multipurpose educa- tion facility filled with flexible spaces to accommodate the needs of preschoolers to the elderly in a modern synagogue. CityRealty spoke to Reichert and Burnham to understand what designing a modern synagogue means, how they interpreted traditional Jewish values through design, and how they took design constraints and turned them into Jewish history storytelling gems. Park Avenue Synagogue entrance Photo: Frank Oudeman Amy Reichert is an award winning architect, exhibition designer, and designer of Judaica. Since 1996, when she won second place in the Philip and Sylvia Spertus Judaica Prize for her seder plate, she has participated in invited juried exhibitions in museums around the world. Her work can be seen on display at The Jewish Muse- um, NY, The Jewish Museum, Vienna, The Yale Univer- sity Art Gallery, and The San Francisco Contemporary Jewish Museum. She received her B.A. and M.Arch from Yale University, and combines her studio work with teaching at the School of the Art Institute, Chicago.

  • Transferring Memory: the Task of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors
    Transferring Memory: The Task of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors By Menachem Z. Rosensaft 08 Aug 2011 The following article by the general counsel of the World Jewish Congress was first published in the journal 'Midstream'. Night Fragments night fragments created in fire shadows we are the last and the first the last to taste ashes from the cursed century’s valley of unwilling passers through where God revealed His face to them alone; and the first transfixed by still burning yesterdays to reach beyond heaven and its clouds beyond crimson ghost illusions into ourselves imploding in search of memory (by MZR) Many if not most children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors live with ghosts. We are haunted much in the way a cemetery is haunted. We bear within us the shadows and echoes of an anguished dying we never experienced or witnessed. One of my ghosts is a little boy named Benjamin who arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp with his parents 67 years ago, on the night of 3/4 August 1943. In her posthumously published memoirs, my mother, Dr. Hadassah Rosensaft, recalled her final moments with her son, my brother: "We were guarded by SS men and women. One SS man was standing in front of the people and he started the selection. With a single movement of his finger, he was sending some people to the right and some to the left... Men were separated from women. People with children were sent to one side, and young people were separated from older looking ones.

    Park Avenue Synagogue Architect: Murphy Burnham & Buttrick Architects Location: New York, New York Award: 2020 Renaissance Award - Friends of the Completed: 2020 Upper East Side Historic Districts Size: 63,000 sf Services: MEPF The Park Avenue Synagogue was founded in 1882 and is one of the largest and most influential congregations in the United States. The synagogue resides at its original location on East 87th Street in Manhattan. The multi-phase project expanded and transformed the Park Avenue Synagogue campus, creating vibrant space and cohesive design for a landmarked 1912 Neo-Renaissance building, 1980s post-modern building, and historic Madison Avenue. The renovation enabled the synagogue to enhance programming, strengthen the sense of community, and create a more optimally functioning campus by creating classrooms, play space, assembly and support spaces. Heating and cooling for the renovated building is provided via a new central chilled water plant and new boiler plant. The selected high efficiency equipment reduces the building’s overall energy usage while providing a high level of occupant comfort. A central outdoor air processing unit with energy recovery provides fresh air to the building, while also exhausting bathrooms and storage rooms, capturing the heat from the exhaust air and transferring to the incoming outside air. The renovated facility has a commercial kitchen, sprinkler and standpipe system throughout, new building management system, and a completely upgraded fire alarm system. New lighting controls incorporate digital programmable occupancy and vacancy systems, capable of varying their control functions based on time of day and occupancy schedules. © Susan Fisher Plotner/Altieri.

  • Download Liner Notes
    Cover Art Berlinski II A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. While much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, I founded the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music in 1990. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles and recording producers over the past fourteen years has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain and inspire people of all faiths and cultures. The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music is a living project; one that we hope will cultivate and nourish musicians and enthusiasts of this richly varied musical repertoire. Lowell Milken A MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR The quality, quantity, and amazing diversity of sacred as well as secular music written for or inspired by Jewish life in America is one of the least acknowledged achievements of modern Western culture.

  • The Old Jewish Cemetery on 88 Street in Manhattan: Where Did The
    The Old Jewish Cemetery on 88th Street in Manhattan: Where Did the Bodies Go? The Old Jewish Cemetery on 88th Street in Manhattan: Where Did the Bodies Go? Benjamin Behrman, my 3rd Great-grandfather, died June 23rd, 1859 in New York City, New York. According to the entry in the death records, he was buried in the cemetery at 88th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue. 23 Behrman Benjamin 49 491 Canal St Prussia Meningitis 88th St bet 3 + 4 Ave The cemetery no longer exists today as it has long been cemented over with large buildings covering the area from corner to corner. What became of the cemetery? And more importantly, what happened to the bodies that were interred there? A newspaper clipping was found in the Municipal Archives dated April 10, 1958 entitled “LOWER EAST SIDE Churches & Synagogues” by George Freedman. George was Director of New Era Club Lecture Forum and wrote a column on Jewish cemeteries in Manhattan. He wrote, “.. Other congregations had cemeteries in Manhattan, i.e. 105th Street and Central Pak, 88th Street and Madison Avenue, 89th Street and Six Avenue (Central Park), 32nd Street and Sixth Avenue, and 45th Street and Sixth Avenue. These other congregations removed these bodies and reburied them in Queens.” This was the first indication that the bodies were moved. No background information about the cemetery could be found relating to this article, George Freedman or New Era Club Lecture Forum. I then wrote to the New York Historical Society who referenced Carolee Inskeep’s book, The Graveyard Shift: A Family Historian’s Guide to New York City Cemeteries (Orem, UT: Ancestry, 2000).

  • Director of Content and Innovation, Park Avenue Synagogue
    H-Judaic FEATURED JOB: Director of Content and Innovation, Park Avenue Synagogue Discussion published by Martina Mampieri on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 Park Avenue Synagogue Director of Content and Innovation DESCRIPTION OF PARK AVENUE SYNAGOGUE Park Avenue Synagogue (PAS) is a growing, dynamic, and thriving synagogue community with highly engaged clergy, congregants, staff, and Board. Its mission is to inspire and educate people to live passion-filled Jewish lives. With origins dating back to 1882, PAS is one of the largest and most vibrant congregations in North America. Its over 1,700 member families are highly involved in community activities through its recently renovated physical campus on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, as well as through its virtual campus. PAS was an early adopter of virtual technology, which has enabled it to not only continue to thrive during the pandemic but also expand its reach beyond its New York-based membership. For example, during the most recent High Holidays, tens of thousands of non-members from around the world joined PAS for its meaningful, spiritual, and professional services and programming. Rooted in Conservative Jewish tradition, PAS is a forward-thinking, innovative institution that values continuous improvement and holds a high standard for excellence. Its clergy and staff include more than 160 talented individuals who enable and further Rabbi Cosgrove’s vision centered around three core pillars: learning, community, and prayer. In addition to its many prayer services, life cycle events, and leading role in liturgical music and cantorial concerts, PAS provides many lifelong learning opportunities through its young family programs, early childhood center, congregational school, and a wide range of teen, young adult, and adult education classes and programs, including engaging in national thought-leading religious conversations.
