  • When Unity Reigned: Yom Ha-Azma’Ut 1954
    51 When Unity Reigned: Yom ha-Azma’ut 1954 By: ELAZAR MUSKIN A number of years ago while I rummaged through a box of old pa- pers and memorabilia that belonged to my late father, Rabbi Jacob Muskin z”l, of Cleveland, Ohio, a stained yellow mimeographed paper fell on my lap. As I picked it up, I began to realize that I was holding an historic document. The paper was folded in half and on the front cover it read, “Sixth Anniversary Celebration Israel Independence Day, Sunday May 9, 1954, Iyar 6, 5714.” The front cover also indicated the loca- tion of the celebration, The Taylor Road Synagogue Auditorium in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and noted that the event was sponsored by an organization called “The Orthodox Jewish Association of Cleveland.”1 1 In my letter to Rabbi Shubert Spero dated 2 July, 1997 I asked him a number of questions including: What was this sponsoring organization “The Orthodox Jewish Association”? How long did it exist? Who was Dr. David Magid, its President? In his letter dated 19 August, 1997 Rabbi Spero responded: “Shortly after my arrival in Cleveland I was called to a meeting with Rabbis E.M. Bloch and C.M. Katz z”l (who were very close to my late uncles, H.I. and B.E. Spero z”l, who were instrumental in bringing the Yeshiva to Cleveland) who told me that the Roshei Yeshiva did not wish to isolate themselves from the ‘city’ but rather saw themselves as a part of the general commu- nity and, given the sad state of Orthodoxy, felt a religious obligation to work for the ideals of Torah.

With the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor of Germany came the beginning of the road to war. We suffered the worst ecological disaster in our history, the Dust Bowl. And as we recovered economically, we headed to war.

  • The Early German Jews of Baltimore
    THE EARLY GERMAN JEWS OF BALTIMORE By MOSES ABERBACH Jewish Historical Society of Maryland (Text of lecture delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland on February 18, 1970.) A little over a hundred years ago, the Jewish community of Baltimore was almost exclusively German. A handful of Sephardi, i. e., Spanish and Portuguese Jews had indeed arrived in the 18th century; but they had never been able to form a viable community of their own. An attempt to have a synagogue of their own proved abortive for lack of members.1 Before the Civil War, there may also have been a few indigent East European Jews in Baltimore,2 but they, too, played a negligible role in the community. To all intents and purposes, Baltimore Jewry was a hundred percent German in language and culture. Like Julius Caesar's Gaul, the history of the Baltimore German-Jewish community can be divided into three parts. The first, which few people know about, is the German background of the immigrants, the circum- stances which induced them to leave their homeland and seek their fortune in the New World. The second is the story of their struggle to adapt them- selves to the changed environment in which they had to lead their social, economic and religious life. The third part is the account of their role in the Civil War and of their Americanization during the years that followed. I propose to deal with these three major aspects of the history of the German-Jewish community in Baltimore.

  • The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai
    The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai By Philip S. Shapiro1 Introduction This work had its genesis in an initiative of the “Alka” Samogitian Museum, which has undertaken projects to recover for Lithuanians the true history of the Jews who lived side-by-side with their ancestors. Several years ago, the Museum received a copy of the 500-plus-page “yizkor” (memorial) book for the Jewish community of Telšiai,2 which was printed in 1984.3 The yizkor book is a collection of facts and personal memories of those who had lived in Telšiai before or at the beginning of the Second World War. Most of the articles are written in Hebrew or Yiddish, but the Museum was determined to unlock the information that the book contained. Without any external prompting, the Museum embarked upon an ambitious project to create a Lithuanian version of The Telshe Book. As part of that project, the Museum organized this conference to discuss The Telshe Book and the Jewish community of Telšiai. This project is of great importance to Lithuania. Since Jews constituted about half of the population of most towns in provincial Lithuania in the 19th Century, a Lithuanian translation of the book will not only give Lithuanian readers a view of Jewish life in Telšiai but also a better knowledge of the town’s history, which is our common heritage. The first part of this article discusses my grandfather, Dov Ber Shapiro, who was born in 1883 in Kamajai, in the Rokiškis region, and attended the Telshe Yeshiva before emigrating in 1903 to the United States, where he was known as “Benjamin” Shapiro.

  • Rabbi Edward L. Israel: the Making of a Progressive Interracialist, 1923–1941
    Rabbi Edward L. Israel: The Making of a Progressive Interracialist, 1923–1941 by Charles L. Chavis, Jr.* ithin a few years into his appointment as rabbi of Baltimore’s historic Har Sinai Congregation, Edward L. Israel began to dis- W play the marks of a true progressive by speaking out against labor inequality in Maryland and throughout the country. In his response to one of the lesser-known labor strikes of the interwar era, Israel penned these words in May 1927: Today, the sensual and luxury laden generation is nameless, but Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and the others who spoke in terms of justice and righteous- ness live on as a glory to mankind. The pulpit today may not be arrogant enough to dare to compare itself to these religious geniuses of the moral courage to speak in the name of God of mercy and truth wherever there is social or industrial injustice.1 Serving as an arbitrator for the Western Maryland Railroad strike in behalf of disgruntled workers, Israel led an ecumenical investigation team whose report was praised throughout the country. However, missing from this report was the black worker. Between 1926 and 1936, the rabbi evolved from a progressive voice in the labor movement to become an interracial and interfaith advocate who was forced to acknowledge the dehumaniza- tion of Jim Crowism after being challenged by the key leaders of the early civil rights movement in Baltimore. His activism represented a lesser- known black-Jewish alliance that became an essential element of the black freedom struggle in Baltimore and Maryland during the 1930s and early 1940s.2 * The author may be contacted at [email protected].
