  • THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY It Is
    THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY By MORDECAI SOLTES, PH.D. Director, Extension Education, Bureau of Jewish Education, New York INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that there is a great need to-day for civic instruction which will function more effectively. Our life and needs are becoming more complex; our stand- ards of civic behavior are being constantly revised upwards, and the civic responsibilities which our citizens must dis- charge are becoming increasingly difficult. Education for citizenship should occupy a central position in the public school curriculum. The civic pos- sibilities of all the school subjects should be utilized to a maximum, and the specific ideals of citizenship should become the possession of the pupils as a result of their entire school training and activity. In addition there should be provided, wherever neces- sary, aside from the general courses, supplementary in- struction to meet specific needs of pupils, which shall have been ascertained beforehand. This suggestion applies with particular force to schools which are located in neighborhoods of comparatively large immigrant populations. Wherever fairly homogeneous groups of children could be located, 166 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK it would prove best to make a diagnosis of the civic virtues ;ind deficiencies of the corresponding adult group, to es- tablish their prevailing civic characteristics, both favorable and unfavorable, and to develop, on the basis of the out- standing needs revealed, special supplementary courses that would tend to prevent or correct the expected short- comings, to improve the desirable traits and approved qualities which are insufficiently or wrongly developed, and to capitalize fully the civic potentialities of the younger generation.

  • Annual Impact Report Hebrew College 2020
    HEBREW COLLEGE 2020 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT Resilience and Imagination LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear friends, It was about a year ago that our world turned upside down. I have been awed over these last months by your dedication, compassion, resilience, and imagination in the face of this difficult and unsettling time. I have been awed by the creative collaborations that have continued to put learning and community at the center of our sacred mission—in ways that are both enduring, and ever-new. One of the great spiritual challenges of this time has been remembering, in the face of the pandemic-induced separation that has kept us physically apart, that we are not alone. That we are part of something larger. We know this, but we so easily forget. We get caught up in the things that divide us, the things that make us feel isolated —even when we are not in the midst of a pandemic. We are about to celebrate the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar. The Gemara teaches (in Bavli Ta’anit 29)—Mi she’nichnas Adar, marbim b’simcha. From the beginning of Adar we increase joy. The Hasidic master, the Yismach Yisrael, asks: “How do we enter the gates of this joy?” His answer: “We do this by loving our friends, and by uniting with the Children of Israel.” For the Yismach Yisrael, we are most vulnerable when “our hearts are alienated from each other.” This is why, he teaches, at the beginning of the month of Adar, we recall the Torah’s obligation for each and every member of the community to bring a required donation of half a shekel.

  • JEWISH STATISTICS the Statistics of Jews in the World Rests Largely Upon Estimates
    150 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rests largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the numbers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statis- tical authority after another. In spite of the unsatisfactoriness of the method, it may be assumed that the numbers given are approximately correct. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1905, the English " Jewish Year Book" for 5665, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," and the Alliance Israelite Universelle reports. Some of the statements rest upon the authority of competent individ- uals. A comparison with last year's statistics will show that for several countries the figures have been changed. In most cases, the change is due to the fact that the results of the census of 1900, 1901, and 1902 have only now become available. THE UNITED STATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimate, though several of the estimates have been most conscientiously made. The Jewish population was estimated In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

  • Combating Online Hate Speech and Anti-Semitism
    WORKING PAPER SERIES Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group Oxford Department of International Development University of Oxford Corneliu Bjola and Ilan Manor Combating Online Hate Speech and Anti-Semitism DigDiploROx Working Paper No 4 (Jan 2020) I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The spread of hate speech and anti-Semitic content has become endemic to social media. Faced with a torrent of violent and offensive content, nations in Europe have begun to take measures to remove such content from social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. However, these measures have failed to curtail the spread, and possible impact of anti-Semitic content. Notably, violence breeds violence and calls for action against Jewish minorities soon lead to calls for violence against other ethnic or racial minorities. Online anti-Semitism thus drives social tensions and harms social cohesion. Yet the spread of online anti-Semitism also has international ramifications as conspiracy theories and disinformation campaigns now often focus on WWII and the Holocaust. On Nov 29, 2019, the Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group (DigDiploROx) held a one-day symposium at the European Commission in Brussels. The symposium brought together diplomats, EU officials, academics and civil society organizations in order to search for new ways to combat the rise in online anti-Semitism. This policy brief offers an overview of the day’s discussions, the challenges identified and a set of solutions that may aid nations looking to stem the flow of anti- Semitic content online. Notably, these solutions, or recommendations, are not limited to the realm of anti-Semitism and can to help combat all forms of discrimination, hate and bigotry online.

  • Class of 1965 50Th Reunion Yearbook
    Class of 1965 50th Reunion 1 2 BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY 50th Reunion 3 4 Dear Classmates, Here we are…fifty years later. What a milestone, and what a celebration! We were so delighted with the turnout at our 50th Reunion, June 5-7, 2015. It was terrific to reconnect with friends and classmates, see the transformed campus, and reflect on the top-notch education we received at Brandeis and that Brandeis still offers. This “golden celebration” afforded us the chance to come together as a class and rekindle fond memories of our Brandeis experience. Our 50th Reunion Committee worked tirelessly to provide an exciting line-up of events, from dinners and discussions to folk sing-alongs and social gatherings, all of which were memorable. As you know, we shared a digital copy of our 50th Reunion yearbook with all of our classmates before Reunion. To make sure we captured our class’s newest memories, we had a photographer take lots of pictures over Reunion weekend, and added them into this printed copy. Thank you to all for everything you did to make our 50th Reunion truly special. We trust this keepsake will remind you always of how special your Brandeis family truly is. Enjoy! With best wishes, 5 6 Special Thanks On behalf of the Institutional Advancement Division, we would like to thank the members of the Class of 1965 Reunion Committee William S.
