Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils

HIS DIRECTORY is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish Federations Tand Welfare Funds. It includes over 600 communities, virtually all of which are affiliated with the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, their national association for sharing of common services, interchange of experience, and joint consultation and action. This number compares with 305 communities in the 1943 directory, and reflects the develop- ment of Jewish communal organization in American. These communities comprise at least 95 per cent of the Jewish population of the United States and about 90 per cent of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each commu- nity is the local central agency—federation, welfare fund, or community council—with its address and the names of the president and executive director. The names "federation," "welfare fund," and "Jewish community council" are not defini- tive and their structures and functions vary from city to city. What is called a federation in one city, for example, may be called a community council in another. In the main these central agencies have responsibility for some or all of the following functions: (a) raising of funds for local, national, and overseas services; (b) allocation and distribution of funds for these purposes; (c) co-ordination and central planning of local services, such as family welfare, child care, health, recreation, community relations within the Jewish community and with the general community, Jewish education, care of the aged, and vocational guidance, eliminating duplication and filling in gaps in service; (d) in small and some intermediate cities, direct administration of local social services. In the directory, the following symbols are used: (J) Member agency of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. (2) Receives support from Community Chest.

ABRAHAM CAHAN1 HEN Abraham Cahan came to the United States in 1882 the entire WJewish population of this country was no more than one-quarter of a million. When he died in 1951 at the age of ninety-one, the American Jewish community had grown to approximately 5,000,000. As the editor of the influential Jewish Daily Forward, Abraham Cahan was one of those out- standing individuals who played a significant role in the development of the largest Jewish community in the world. Cahan was one of that group of young Jewish idealists who fled Russia after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, and the ascension of Alexander III to the throne. The wave of that flooded Russia during the early 1880's brought the ardent Jewish university students to the unhappy con- clusion that there was no hope for them in Russia. They were swept into two new movements which came in time to determine the fate of world Jewry: Am Olam, and BILU. The Am Olam movement attempted to con- vince Russian Jewry of the necessity of departing en masse for the United States, where Jews could live as free citizens, and devote their energies to more productive labor than was possible under the narrow conditions of life in Russia. BILU also urged Russian Jews to emigrate—but to Palestine where they could build a national home. Out of these two movements there developed in the course of time the two most important phenomena of contemporary Jewish life: the American Jewish community, and the state of Israel. Abraham Cahan belonged to the Am Olam movement, the radical avante- garde of that mass immigration that began to stream into the United States from Russia in the 1880's. He was one of those Russian Jewish pioneer emigrants who came to the United States not in search of wealth or material gain, but to enrich their personal lives. Abraham Cahan was a life-long Socialist and Socialist leader. But he was never one of those fanatical partisans who cling to outworn dogma, regardless of reality. He expressed in his Socialist activity the same level-headed realism as in his fiction. As he himself put it, on the occasion of a jubilee celebration in honor of the Jewish Daily Forward, Cahan's slogan was, "Socialism plus Common Sense." Abraham Cahan's name is always associated with that of the Jewish Daily Forward, the New York Yiddish daily. For, in addition to being one of the fifty-one who founded the Forward, from 1897 on, Cahan was, except for a brief interval, its chief editor. It was under his editorship that the Forward became the largest, most popular, and most influential Jewish newspaper in

1 For a detailed necrology, s" also p. 523. 528 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOR the world. A good deal of the Forward's success may be attributed to Cahan's flexibility and enterprise; he attracted to the Forward the best journalists and writers, regardless of their political affiliation. During the first half of the twentieth century there was not a single Jewish literary man of impor- tance who did not contribute to the Forward. Nor was Cahan content to pub- lish authors with established reputations. He personally aided in the develop- ment of new, hitherto unknown writers. And he was largely responsible for the importance given to belles lettres in the contemporary American Yiddish press. A man of strong character and temperament, Abraham Cahan devoted himself heart and soul to the task of editing the Forward. The scope of his interests was broad; there was not a single problem in Jewish and general life in the United States and abroad which was foreign to the pages of the For- ward. The story of the Forward is that of Abraham Cahan's enthusiasms. Even his staunchest opponents were forced to recognize his moral fervor. The power of his intellect, disciplined by the responsibility of editorship, produced a personal influence which goes far to explain the importance of the Forward. Abraham Cahan paid dear for this accomplishment. For, in becoming a great editor, he sacrificed the artist in him. And he was an artist, first and foremost. His literary works, written in English, attest to his potentialities, recognized by the best critics of American literary in his fine novel, The Rise of David Levinsky. Had it not been for his great drive for power and influ- ence, Abraham Cahan would have occupied a prominent place in American literature. For the first five years of his life in the United States, Cahan was an English journalist and writer. His autobiographical Bleter fun mayn Lebn ("Leaves out of my Life") contain several very interesting anecdotes about his literary acquaintances and meetings during that period. Abraham Cahan represented a complete epoch in Jewish life in the United States. Some of the most dramatic moments in American Jewish history of the past seventy years are associated with his name: the organization and unionization of the exploited workers, the Americanization of Jewish immi- grants, the blooming of the . As a popularizer extraordinary, Abraham Cahan devoted himself to teaching the man on the street, inform- ing thousands of immigrants, of the facts and possibilities of American life. Cahan showed his indomitable spirit in his battle against Communism in the United States. At a time when fellow-traveling was very much the fashion, Cahan took up the cudgels against Communism. Though the future of the Forward seemed threatened by this unpopular course, he refused to allow himself to be diverted. Abraham Cahan was also to a certain extent responsible for the popular Jewish interest in the building of a national homeland for Jews in Palestine. In 1925 Cahan traveled to Palestine for the first time. When he began to ex- press his admiration for the accomplishments of the Jewish colonists in his writings, he was sharply attacked in Socialist circles, where opposition to Zionism was then axiomatic. But he was not to be deflected, and eventually kindled the Jewish labor movement with his own enthusiasm for Palestine. In the course of time Jewish labor in the United States became among the active supporters of Jewish labor in Palestine. ABRAHAM CAHAN 529 Nor did Cahan lack courage when his common sense told him that Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was a harbinger of a more liberal epoch in the history of the United States. After considerable reflection he came to the conclusion that the New Deal represented the beginning of the fulfillment of conditions which Socialists had long been advocating. When he was sure in his mind that this was so, Cahan came out for Roosevelt and the New Deal in the Forward. His action created a furore in Socialist circles, where it was considered apostasy. There was even talk of suspending Cahan from the Socialist party. But he was not to be intimidated, and held to his course. In time Abraham Cahan's judgment was proven correct. Like every strong person who is sure of his position, and acts accordingly, Cahan had many opponents. Often the charges levelled against him were justified. He was charged with catering to the masses and not lending the Forward to the battle in behalf of a Yiddish educational system and the Yid- dish language. But he was certain that he understood the facts of the situ- ation better than his detractors. As a popularizer he was a strong advocate of simplification, particularly since the Jewish immigrants who were his audi- ence had received no systematic education. When after a time he perceived that Yiddish education was a possibility in the United States, he changed his position, and enrolled the Forward in the struggle for it. Abraham Cahan was so involved in his literary, journalistic, and political activity that he had no time for a personal life in the usual sense. Though his fame was widespread, he was a lonely and unhappy man. But his was the sublime solitude of the great man. In a letter to Sholem Asch, urging him to give up the notion of writing a novel about Jesus, Cahan once remarked that he was an experienced editor and an experienced Jew. He believed that the experience of Jewish history taught that it was dangerous to renew the ancient debates over the relation between Judaism and Christianity with which apostates used to bait Jewish scholars during the Middle Ages. Cahan's funeral was attended by more than ten thousand persons. Two governments were represented among those who delivered funeral orations: United States Secretary of Labor, Maurice Tobin, and the Ambassador of the State of Israel, Abba Eban. Thus, the two streams that flowed through Abra- ham Cahan's life were united at his close: BILU, the call for a Jewish na- tional homeland in Palestine, and Am Olam, the promise to an eternal people that they need not lose hope, for a great new Jewish community could flourish in the land of democracy and freedom, the United States.
