    JEWISH NATIONAL OEGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES In the following list information is given respecting those Jewish organ- izations which have a national scope as distinguished from societies of a local character which are listed in the Directory of Local Jewish Organizations, volume 21, pp. 330-583, and in the Supplementary Directory in this volume, pp. 322-339. Eighty-two hodies are listed below. During the past year, the Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis disbanded, and the three organizations of Roumanian Jews were amalgamated. Over against this decrease are nine new national bodies, namely, the Aid Association for ex-Patients of Tubercular Sanatoriums, the Federation of Hungarian Jews, the Federation of Ukrainian Jews, the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic, the Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America, The Leo N. Levi Memorial Hospital Association, Sigma Epsilon Delta Fraternity, the Union of Orthodox Women's Organization of America, and Young Israel of Amer- ica. There has therefore been a net increase of six in the number of organizations. No material change has occurred in the statistics of these organizations as given in volume 21. The classification used there is repeated below with the addition of the Landsmanpschaften—organizations of natives of various sections of Europe—and a miscellaneous group comprising the Jewish Sab- bath Alliance of American and the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic. In the international group are the Alliance Israelite Unlverselle, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Jewish Congress ; the Zionist organizations have been grouped separately. In the educational class are the Council of Young Men's Hebrew and Kindred Associations, the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, the Jewish Chautauqua Society, and others of a similar character.

  • Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980S
    Group of 78: Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980s Reprinted from the Bulletin of the United Nations Association, February 1982. During the last few months, a group of Canadians with a special concern for Canada's role in the global community consulted together and arrived at certain conclusions which are detailed in the statement below. The group, consisting of 78 Canadians, are known informally as the "Group of 78" - an idea borrowed from the Group of 77 original lesser developed countries which banded together at the UN to work toward common goals. The statement of the Group of 78 - for which the prime mover has been Andrew Brewin, former NDP MP for Toronto Greenwood - follows: The basic priorities of Canada's foreign policy should be threefold: 1. Removal of the threat of nuclear war, the greatest danger facing mankind today; 2. the strengthening of the United Nations and other global institutions designed to bring about a pacific settlement of disputes, foster international cooperation, promote the growth of world law and the protection of basic human rights; 3. the mobilization of world resources to achieve a more equitable international order and bring an end to the crushing poverty which is the common lot of the majority of the Third World These objectives require a new emphasis in our foreign policy based on the recognition that national security depends on an international effort to maintain an equitable and stable international order. Canada should incorporate in its foreign policy the principal objectives set forth in the Final Document of the 1978 UN Special Session on Disarmament, and take an active part in the preparation for the Second Special Session in 1982.

  • The Spirit of the Ghetto
    The Spirit of the Ghetto By Hutchins Hapgood The Spirit of the Ghetto Chapter One The Old and the New THE OLD MAN No part of New York has a more intense and varied life than the colony of Russian and Galician Jews who live on the east side and who form the largest Jewish city in the world. The old and the new come here into close contact and throw each other into high relief. The traditions and customs of the orthodox Jew are maintained almost in their purity, and opposed to these are forms and ideas of modern life of the most extreme kind. The Jews are at once tenacious of their character and susceptible to their Gentile environment, when that environment is of a high order of civilization. Accordingly, in enlightened America they undergo rapid transformation tho retaining much that is distinctive; while in Russia, surrounded by an ignorant peasantry, they remain by themselves, do not so commonly learn the Gentile language, and prefer their own forms of culture. There their life centres about religion. Prayer and the study of "the Law" constitute practically the whole life of the religious Jew. When the Jew comes to America he remains, if he is old, essentially the same as he was in Russia. His deeply rooted habits and the "worry of daily bread" make him but little sensitive to the conditions of his new home. His imagination lives in the old country and he gets his consolation in the old religion. He picks up only about a hundred English words and phrases, which he pronounces in his own way.

  • Eastern Europe Abroad: Exploring Actor-Networks in Transnational Movements and Migration History, the Case of the Bund
    IRSH 57 (2012), pp. 229–255 doi:10.1017/S0020859012000211 r 2012 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Eastern Europe Abroad: Exploring Actor-Networks in Transnational Movements and Migration History, The Case of the Bund F RANK W OLFF IMIS, Osnabru¨ck University E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: The ‘‘transnational turn’’ is one of the most discussed topics in historio- graphy, yet it has inspired more theoretical tension than empirically saturated studies. This article combines both aspects by examining the transnational network formation of one of the most important social movements in late imperial Russia, the Jewish Labour Bund. It furthermore introduces into historiography one of the most fruitful theories in recent social sciences, ‘‘actor-network theory’’. This opens the view on the steady recreation of a social movement and reveals how closely the history of the Bund in eastern Europe was interwoven with large socialist organizations in the New World. Based on a large number of sources, this contribution to migration and movement history captures the creation and the limits of global socialist networks. As a result, it shows that globalization did not only create economic or political net- works but that it impacted the everyday lives of authors and journalists as well as those of tailors and shoemakers. Repeatedly, the Russian Revolutions have attracted the world’s interest. But the emergence of this revolutionary movement was by no means only a Russian matter. Even before Red October, it had a great impact on movements and societies around the globe. Moreover, the Russian movement itself relied on actors who lived and worked far from Russian itself.

Jahrhun- derts«. Recent research on Jewish migration and “Jewish spaces” usually asks for the relevance of “Jewish spaces” in Jewish life. This article looks the other way and examines how the changing conditions of Jewish life altered emi- grant’s perceptions of their “old home” in East Europe. It argues that in Jewish memory East Europe functioned as a mythscape which changed from a repres- sive and revolutionary over a progressive to the lost “old home”.
