REGent 7676 YEAR BOOK OF THE ANGLO-JEWISH ASSOCIATION 1950 m LONDON OFFICE OF THE ANGLO-JEWISH ASSOCIATION WOBURN HOUSE, UPPER WOBURN PLACE, W.C.I FOREWORD The seventy-six annual reports of the Anglo-Jewish Association which precetie the one included in this volume are replete with information as to the situation of the Jews throughout the world. This followed from the purposes to which the Association's Founders had dedicated their efforts for, as a subsequently adopted Statement put it, " the Association was the first Anglo-Jewish body which, looking beyond the domestic affairs of the Community, was formed for the express purpose of securing just treatment and equality of status for Jews wherever these rights might be denied them" In 1871, the date of the Association's foundation, the Anglo-Jewish Press was already well established, but for some time thereafter it was probably to the series of the Association's annual reports that readers turned for a collated review of events in the Jewish world. Though curtailed somewhat as a result of war-time stringencies, the form of those reports has remained substantially unaltered to the present day, despite radical changes in the nature and amount of information, now constantly available, as to Jewish life in all parts of the world. Following a recommendation by the Administrative Committee, the Council of the Association agreed to a change being made this year, and hence the 11th Annual Report is incorporated in a Year Book which it is hoped will be found of service within and beyond the ranks of the Association's membership. No attempt has been made to include every detail of the institutional life of the Anglo-Jewish Com- munity, that is a function which is adequately performed by existing publications, the duplication of which would serve no useful purpose. 4 FOREWORD What has been attempted is to provide basic reference material which the layman would find of advantage to have readily at hand. For such an effort to be successful selection is almost on a par with accuracy as a prime requirement; but this is peculiarly a matter on which readers form their own judgment, and it will considerably assist the Editor in the preparation of succeeding volumes to have their criticisms and suggestions. These will be given careful consideration and taken account of for the future. It may be in point to emphasise that it is by the requirements of the general reader and not of the specialist that w$ have sought to govern our compilation. In the "Jewish Bookshelf" a few works temporarily out of print hqve been included, it being under- stood that they may shortly be available again. Thanks are due to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for assistance in providing statistical material; to the Rev. Michael Elton (Librarian of Jews' College) for assistance in compiling the calendar; and to Mr. R. N. Carvalho and Mr. W. S. Samuel for helpful criticism. In preparing the "Review of the Year" use has been made of "Month by Monthone of the regularfeatures of "The Jewish Monthlythe Editor of that journal readily granting permission to adapt material which had appeared in its columns. Finally, thanks are gratefully offered to Mr. Eric Kahn, of Fredk. W. Kahn, Ltd., the printers of this volume, for his ready assistance in solving the many typographical and kindred problems with which a first appearance is beset.

  • The Debate Over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue
    Jack Wertheimer (ed.) The American Synagogue: A Sanctuary Transformed. New York: Cambridge 13 University Press, 1987 The Debate over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue JONATHAN D. SARNA "Pues have never yet found an historian," John M. Neale com­ plained, when he undertook to survey the subject of church seating for the Cambridge Camden Society in 1842. 1 To a large extent, the same situation prevails today in connection with "pues" in the American syn­ agogue. Although it is common knowledge that American synagogue seating patterns have changed greatly over time - sometimes following acrimonious, even violent disputes - the subject as a whole remains unstudied, seemingly too arcane for historians to bother with. 2 Seating patterns, however, actually reflect down-to-earth social realities, and are richly deserving of study. Behind wearisome debates over how sanctuary seats should be arranged and allocated lie fundamental disagreements over the kinds of social and religious values that the synagogue should project and the relationship between the synagogue and the larger society that surrounds it. As we shall see, where people sit reveals much about what they believe. The necessarily limited study of seating patterns that follows focuses only on the most important and controversial seating innovation in the American synagogue: mixed (family) seating. Other innovations - seats that no longer face east, 3 pulpits moved from center to front, 4 free (un­ assigned) seating, closed-off pew ends, and the like - require separate treatment. As we shall see, mixed seating is a ramified and multifaceted issue that clearly reflects the impact of American values on synagogue life, for it pits family unity, sexual equality, and modernity against the accepted Jewish legal (halachic) practice of sexual separatiop in prayer.

  • A Synagogue for All Families: Interfaith Inclusion in Conservative Synagogues
    A Synagogue for All Families Interfaith Inclusion in Conservative Synagogues Introduction Across North America, Conservative kehillot (synagogues) create programs, policies, and welcoming statements to be inclusive of interfaith families and to model what it means for 21st century synagogues to serve 21 century families. While much work remains, many professionals and lay leaders in Conservative synagogues are leading the charge to ensure that their community reflects the prophet Isaiah’s vision that God’s house “shall be a house of prayer for all people” (56:7). In order to share these congregational exemplars with other leaders who want to raise the bar for inclusion of interfaith families in Conservative Judaism, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) and InterfaithFamily (IFF) collaborated to create this Interfaith Inclusion Resource for Conservative Synagogues. This is not an exhaustive list, but a starting point. This document highlights 10 examples where Conservative synagogues of varying sizes and locations model inclusivity in marketing, governance, pastoral counseling and other key areas of congregational life. Our hope is that all congregations will be inspired to think as creatively as possible to embrace congregants where they are, and encourage meaningful engagement in the synagogue and the Jewish community. We are optimistic that this may help some synagogues that have not yet begun the essential work of the inclusion of interfaith families to find a starting point that works for them. Different synagogues may be in different places along the spectrum of welcoming and inclusion. Likewise, the examples presented here reflect a spectrum, from beginning steps to deeper levels of commitment, and may evolve as synagogues continue to engage their congregants in interfaith families.

It exists to promote and defend the religious and civil liberties of British Jewry and to promote its standing. Nearly 300 Deputies represent local communities and organisations in a democratically elected body ZKLFKLVWKHƪUVWSRUWRIFDOOIRUJRYHUQPHQWDQGRWKHUIDLWKJURXSVRQLVVXHV relating to the Jewish community. On issues of importance, such as Holocaust remembrance and education, the Board reaches out through its Deputies and its close relationship with the other organisations to the whole community to consult and to listen, ensuring that we speak with a strong and consistent voice. Most of the community’s major communal organisations have contributed to this document and are listed in Appendix 1, along with details of our consultation process. Many are also submitting their own documents. We particularly urge the Commission to consider, alongside this document, submissions from the main synagogal bodies, the Regional Representative Councils, the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, and of course, the Charedi community, each of which bring a particular perspective.

  • Data Maturity for Synagogues: Incorporating Data Into the Decision-Making Culture Prepared by Idealware © 2014 UJA-Federation of New York
    VOLUME 9 | 2015 | 5775 UJA-Federation of New York SYNERGY Innovations and Strategies for Synagogues of Tomorrow DATA MATURITY FOR SYNAGOGUES: INCORPORATING DATA INTO THE DECISION-MAKING CULTURE Prepared by Idealware © 2014 UJA-Federation of New York 1 INTRODUCTION For years, UJA-Federation of New York has been exploring how data-informed decision making can MAKINGhelp synagogues DATA PART thrive. OFThrough THE the DECISION-MAKING Sustainable Synagogues CULTUREBusiness Models project, facilitated by Measuring Success from 2009 to 2012, UJA-Federation learned that thriving synagogues regularly assess and make decisions based on the extent to which their communal vision, mission, and values are aligned with all aspects of synagogue life. We also learned that it matters which systems synagogues SELF-ASSESSMENTuse to collect data. In order TOOL to help synagogues assess which system might meet their particular needs, UJA-Federation funded the development of “A Guide to Synagogue Management Systems: Research and Recommendations,” and more recently a 2014 update, in collaboration with the Orthodox Union (OU), THEUnion DATA for ReformMATURITY Judaism PROGRESSION (URJ), and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ). Furthermore, we have also learned through observations in the field that synagogues are not simply “data-driven or not data-driven.” Rather, there is a broad spectrum of data maturity, beginning with simple data collection and moving along the spectrum in complexity to reflect more sophisticated SUPPORTINGuses of data. THE JEWISH IDENTITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE COMMUNITY This paper reflects UJA-Federation's commitment to identifying and sharing innovations and strategies METHODOLOGYthat can support synagogues on their journeys to become thriving congregations.

  • Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research
    Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD has become increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments in the historiography of the sciences and the human- ities. A move away from hagiography and presentations of scientifi c processes as an inevitable progression has been requested in this context. Historians of archae- olo gy have begun to utilize approved and new histo- rio graphical concepts to trace how archaeological knowledge has been acquired as well as to refl ect on the historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute to this trend. By linking theories and models with case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the authors illuminate implications of communication on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of di erent approaches such as narratological concepts or the concepts of habitus is thus considered. berlin studies of 32 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 32 edited by topoi excellence cluster Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research edited by Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. © 2015 Edition Topoi / Exzellenzcluster Topoi der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Typographic concept and cover design: Stephan Fiedler Printed and distributed by PRO BUSINESS digital printing Deutschland GmbH, Berlin ISBN 978-3-9816384-1-7 URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100233492 First published 2015 The text of this publication is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC 3.0 DE.
