    ORTHODOXY IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE1 by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN INTRODUCTION • DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ORTHODOXY • EARLY ORTHODOX COMMUNITY • UNCOMMITTED ORTHODOX • COM- MITTED ORTHODOX • MODERN ORTHODOX • SECTARIANS • LEAD- ERSHIP • DIRECTIONS AND TENDENCIES • APPENDLX: YESHIVOT PROVIDING INTENSIVE TALMUDIC STUDY A HIS ESSAY is an effort to describe the communal aspects and institutional forms of Orthodox Judaism in the United States. For the most part, it ignores the doctrines, faith, and practices of Orthodox Jews, and barely touches upon synagogue hie, which is the most meaningful expression of American Orthodoxy. It is hoped that the reader will find here some appreciation of the vitality of American Orthodoxy. Earlier predictions of the demise of 11 am indebted to many people who assisted me in making this essay possible. More than 40, active in a variety of Orthodox organizations, gave freely of their time for extended discussions and interviews and many lay leaders and rabbis throughout the United States responded to a mail questionnaire. A number of people read a draft of this paper. I would be remiss if I did not mention a few by name, at the same time exonerating them of any responsibility for errors of fact or for my own judgments and interpretations. The section on modern Orthodoxy was read by Rabbi Emanuel Rackman. The sections beginning with the sectarian Orthodox to the conclusion of the paper were read by Rabbi Nathan Bulman. Criticism and comments on the entire paper were forthcoming from Rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein, Dr. Marshall Ski are, and Victor Geller, without whose assistance the section on the number of Orthodox Jews could not have been written.

    Marc B. Shapiro – Clarifications of Previous Posts Clarifications of Previous Posts by Marc B. Shapiro [The footnote numbers reflects the fact this is a continuation of this earlier post.] 1. I was asked to expand a bit on how I know that R. Barukh Epstein’s story with Rayna Batya is contrived. In this story we see her great love of Torah study and her difficulty in accepting a woman’s role in Judaism. Certainly, she must have been a very special woman, and I assume that she was, for a woman, quite learned. When Mekor Barukh was published there were still plenty of people alive who had known her and it would have been impossible to entirely fabricate her personality. The same can be said about Epstein’s report of the Netziv reading newspapers on Shabbat. This is not the sort of thing that could be made up. Let’s not forget that the Netziv’s widow, son (R. Meir Bar-Ilan) and many other family members and close students were alive, and Epstein knew that they would not have permitted any improper portrayal. It is when recording private conversations that one must always be wary of what Epstein reports. A good deal has been written about the Rayna Batya story, and Dr. Don Seeman has referred to it as “the only record which has been preserved of a woman’s daily interactions with her male interlocutor over several months.”[15] When challenged about the historical accuracy of Epstein’s recollections, Seeman replied “that there is no evidence to indicate that R.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 16, 2008, Designation List 405 LP-2263 PUBLIC NATIONAL BANK OF NEW YORK BUILDING (later Public National Bank & Trust Company of New York Building), 106 Avenue C (aka 231 East 7th Street), Manhattan. Built 1923; Eugene Schoen, architect; New York Architectural Terra Cotta Co., terra cotta. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 377, Lot 72. On October 30, 2007, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Public National Bank of New York Building (later Public National Bank & Trust Company of New York Building) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 7). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five people spoke in favor of designation, including Councilmember Rosie Mendez and representatives of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, Historic Districts Council, Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America, and New York Landmarks Conservancy. The building’s owner opposed designation. In addition, the Commission received a number of communications in support of designation, including letters from City Councilmember Tony Avella, the Friends of Terra Cotta, Neue Galerie Museum for German and Austrian Art, and City Lore: The New York Center for Urban Folk Culture. Summary The Public National Bank of New York Building in the East Village is a highly unusual American structure displaying the direct influence of the early-twentieth- century modernism of eminent Viennese architect/designer Josef Hoffmann. Built in 1923, the bank was designed by Eugene Schoen (1880-1957), an architect born in New York City of Hungarian Jewish descent, who graduated from Columbia University in 1902, and soon after traveled to Europe, meeting Otto Wagner and Hoffmann in Vienna.

    Steven Lapidus the FORGOTTEN HASIDIM: RABBIS and REBBES in PREWAR CANADA1 Introduction Jewish Historiography of the Pre-Second W

    Steven Lapidus THE FORGOTTEN HASIDIM: RABBIS AND REBBES IN PREWAR CANADA1 Introduction Jewish historiography of the pre-Second World War era typi- cally underplays the significance of Orthodox life on the shores of North America.2 With respect to Hasidic3 history, those few scholars who do not simply ignore the Hasidic leadership in pre-1940s North America deny its very existence entirely. They aver that Hasidic rebbes and rabbis only came to North America after the Holocaust. Jenna Weissman Joselit makes no mention of prewar Hasidic institutions or leaders in New York’s Jewish Jews: The Orthodox Community in the Interwar Years. She makes mention only of “postwar Hasidification of Williamsburg.”4 Save for a brief reference to the presence in the United States of two low-status rebbes in the prewar period, there is little mention of the Hasidic community in Jeffrey Gurock’s American Jewish Orthodoxy in Historical Perspective.5 Samuel Heilman completely ignores prewar immigration and institution building by both the Hasidic and non-Hasidic community of North America in explaining the origins of contemporary Haredi communities.6 In perhaps the most egregious denial of Hasidic emigra- tion outside of eastern Europe, Jacques Gutwirth states that Hasidic rebbes were so reluctant to have their followers travel away from the shtetlach, that prior to World War II, not only were there no Hasidic settlements in North America, but “except for one case, there were no hassidic settlements anywhere in western Europe: none in Paris, in Brussels, in 2 Steven Lapidus Amsterdam, or in London, for example. The one exception was Antwerp, in Belgium, where several hassidic groups were established in the 1920s and 1930s.”7 This statement is categor- ically wrong not only with respect to central and western Europe8 and the United States, but also with respect to Canada.
