Biography The Western States Jewish History Association, originally named the Western States Jewish Historical Society, began as an offshoot of the Southern California Jewish Historical Society, a local branch of the American Jewish Historical Society. The Association's founder, Norton Stern, and was appointed to create and publish a journal, The Western State Jewish History Quarterly in 1968. Norton Stern was closely affiliated with the Santa Monica Temple, and an amateur researcher whose interest in history began as a hobby. He conducted massive amounts of genealogical/biographical research on Jews in the West, writing several articles and books, as well as a weekly column entitled "Our Pioneer Heritage," published in the Northern California Jewish Bulletin. His pursuits largely related to recovering the Judaism of many characters in early-American California (i.e. post-Gold Rush, mid 19th onward) as he canvassed cemeteries, early newspapers, business directories, and temple records to construct a richer narrative. Stern also conducted an extensive and highly valuable oral history project, interviewing many of the older Jewish residents in LA and the surrounding areas before his death in 1992. Because Norton Stern's research interests extended beyond Southern California Jewish history, Stern broadened the focus of the journal to the entire American West, highlighting particularly the "pioneer phase" of Jewish arrival into areas in West Finding Aid for the Western States 1739 2 Jewish History Archive, 1800-2004 in the 19th century. His research trips and interviews served as the basis of the Quarterly's early content, Stern and Kramer working closely to write and publish as much as they could. As popular and academic interest in both the history of the American West and Jewish history in the West expanded in the 1970s and 1980s, dozens of researchers and librarians became part of the Western Jewish History Association's network, submitting articles and essays of their own and assisting with Stern's research. These contributors also appear in the collection. William Kramer began as one such contributor, but soon began to play an integral role in Stern's publication. Kramer served as the scribe, helping Stern to craft longer essays and books about his research. Kramer and Stern published several books together, and lectured together at synagogues and organizations throughout Los Angeles. As a rabbi, Kramer served at Temple Israel of Hollywood and later Temple Beth Emet in Burbank, as well as other congregations throughout the U.S. before he arrived in Los Angeles, and late in his life, an online community he called B'nai Bill. His work with the Temple Israel religious school promoted his involvement with a variety of Jewish educational committees, including the Western Association of Temple Educators and the Bureau of Jewish Education. Kramer also involved himself in other activities within the Jewish Community, serving in the Bureau of Jewish Education and several Reform and Liberal Judaism councils. He was also on the faculty at Hebrew Union College and California State University, Northridge. Many of the research files on Jewish organizations and institutions in Los Angeles contain materials he collected through his various commitments. Kramer also had an avid interest in Jewish art, writing frequently about local artists such as Hans Burkhart and Harry Lieberman. Much of Kramer's material in the collection was gathered in preparation for his autobiography, which was unfortunately never completed, as Kramer died in 2004. The network of researchers, historians, and interested community members that Kramer and Stern created in the Western Jewish History Association continues to this day. As of 2008, the Quarterly began its 40th year of publication, thanks largely to the efforts of Gladys Sturman, David Epstein, and the Association's volunteers. Ms. Sturman and the volunteers worked to gather all of Stern and Kramer's research materials, distributing them to libraries throughout Southern California, including UCLA, the Autry National Center, and the Huntington Library. The Western States Jewish History Archive is but one of the portions of the materials they gathered, for a full list of libraries, refer to the Association's webpage, www.wsjhistory.com . Scope and Content The bulk of the collection is organized into research files of materials Kramer and Stern compiled about individuals, institutions and organizations, and synagogues throughout California. These research files vary in their breadth and specificity, some offering original primary source materials, while others largely comprised of newspaper clippings and research notes. Files from institutions and organizations, as well as synagogues, often contain internal documents -meeting minutes, memos, and legal and financial records- in addition to newsletters, pamphlets and other public materials. The scope of these research files cannot be underestimated. They include a wide variety of organizations and institutions, as well as nearly 500 individuals and families and nearly every major Jewish congregation in California. There is also an abundance of source material related to individuals and topics outside of those contained in the research files. The collection contains an assortment of journal and book excerpts, newspaper clippings, pamphlets and tracts, sermons and speeches, and a few maps and photos. In addition to the written materials, there are audio and visual materials, including several roles of microfilm from Stern's collection. There is large amount of Kramer's personal papers in the collection as well, including drafts of his oral and written work, personnel records from his various employments, and photos and ephemera of his family. The collection also contains similar legal and financial records and correspondence of the Association. Organization and Arrangement The collection is divided into 5 large series: research files, source materials, William Kramer's papers, Norton Stern's papers, and the papers of the Western States Jewish History Association. The majority of the material had been previously organized into research topics - some obviously created by the researchers

  • A Jewish-German Alliance for Europe's Future 30.09.2006 | Neuberger, Julia
    Jewish-Christian Relations Insights and Issues in the ongoing Jewish-Christian Dialogue A Jewish-German Alliance for Europe's Future 30.09.2006 | Neuberger, Julia Address by Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger, London, to the first graduating class of rabbis in Germany since 1942, Dresden, September 13, 2006. A Jewish-German Alliance for Europe’s Future Rabbi Julia Neuberger When my mother was dying, five years ago, she kept talking about going home. "Mummy, you are home..." I said, as she lay dying in her apartment in London. "Ach, no", she said, "I mean home, I mean Heilbronn." She may have left Heilbronn am Neckar sixty-four years earlier, and returned only once since the war, but it was still home. And as her school friends came one by one in her last years to see her from Heilbronn, and as she recalled the great kindnesses done for her parents after they had left, she felt homesick. For, quite unlike the norm, all her father"s friends – who had been with him in prisoner-of-war camp in France in the first world war – had gone into their apartment, packed everything up, and sent it to England. After my grandparents had settled in temporary accommodation in London, they were surprised to receive, even after the start of the war, packages and large containers of furniture sent by grandfather"s old friends and drinking companions. These men were no Nazis, but old friends who were appalled by the turn of events, and remained friends of my grandparents until the end of their lives.

  • Property Holding, Charitable Purposes and Dissolution
    EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION TO 2013 VOLUME t is an honour and a privilege to be the editor of this, the 55th volume of the Jewish Journal of Sociology. Since 1959 the journal has I published a wide range of papers and reviews that offer a – broadly conceived - social scientific perspective on contemporary Jewry. This volume is no exception, with six papers that cover a diversity of issues, drawing on a diversity of methodologies and theoretical backgrounds. Two of the papers deal with what are sometimes seen as ‘cutting edge’ trends in Jewish life. Michelle Shain and her co-authors investigate the prevalence of American ‘Do-It-Yourself’ Judaism, defined as ‘alternative forms of Jewish engagement that bypass the established infrastructure of American Jewish life.’ Based on an analysis of data collected from young adult applicants to Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, the authors show that whilst individualist DIY Judaism may be gaining ground amongst Jewish ‘Millenials’, those with less of a background or involvement in Jewish community and practice are less likely to be exploring these alternative modes of being Jewish. Shirah Hecht’s paper on independent minyanim in America also looks at forms of Jewish involvement that are sometimes seen as alternatives to established modes of Jewish community and practice. Hecht defines, explores and differentiates the two ‘waves’ of minyan formation, the first peaking in the early 1980s and the second building in the 2010s. Drawing on a range of qualitative and quantitative sources and data, the paper identifies the various factors that have contributed to the rise of the independent minyan and analyses their wider relevance as a focus for Jewish practice.

  • Israel Zangwill and His American Public, 1892-1926 and Beyond A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Prophet and His People: Israel Zangwill and His American Public, 1892-1926 and Beyond A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Erik Marc Greenberg 2012 © Copyright by Erik Marc Greenberg 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Prophet and His People: Israel Zangwill and His American Public, 1892-1926 and Beyond by Erik Marc Greenberg Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor David N. Myers, Co-chair Professor Janice L. Reiff, Co-chair This dissertation explores the unique, significant, and sometimes contentious relationship that existed between British Jewish author and activist Israel Zangwill and the Jewish community of the United States of America from 1892-1926 and beyond. Employing a broad definition of prophets and prophecy based on the works of prominent theologians, anthropologists, sociologists, and others, this dissertation argues that Zangwill’s vision of America as a new, diasporic cultural and religious center was so significant that we may reasonably characterize him as a prophet of American Judaism. This dissertation carefully studies Zangwill’s prophecy and the American Jewish reaction to Zangwillian thought to better understand both the nature of Zangwill’s thinking and the American Jewish community’s reception of that thought. In so doing it provides important insight ii into Zangwill’s prophetic vision for America, as well as the American Jewish community’s ideological divisions, limited tolerance for criticism, and anxieties over American toleration of Jews and Judaism in the Progressive era, the 1920s, and beyond.
