Acquisition Information The Western Jewish History Center, Vertical Files were transferred to The Bancroft Library from the Judah L. Magnes Museum in 2010. Accruals No additions are expected. System of Arrangement Arranged to the folder level. Processing Information Processed by Jeffrey P. Sahaida in 2013. Organizational History The Western Jewish History Center (WJHC) was established in 1967 at the Judah L. Magnes Museum to collect, preserve, and provide access to archival and oral history documentation about the Jewish community in the American West. The center was created by Seymour Fromer, under the direction of Moses Rischin, and from an early stage saw the involvement of a series of archivists and local historians, including Ruth Kelson Rafael, Fred Rosenbaum, and Ava Kahn. The archival collections collected by the Western Jewish History Center are now part of the Western Jewish Americana archives of The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at the Bancroft Library. The collections encompass the entire western United States beginning with the 1849 Gold Rush and continuing to the present, with a specific focus on the Jewish experience in California and the San Francisco Bay Area. Many paintings, sculptures, and ritual objects initially collected by the Western Jewish History Center are now part of the museum collections of Jewish art and life. From 1967 until 2010, when the archives were transferred to The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at The Bancroft Library, the Western Jewish History Center occupied the top floor of the Magnes Museum, the former Jeremiah Thaddeus Burke mansion in Berkeley, California. The theme of Western American Jewish history, however, pervaded all activities of the Judah L. Magnes Museum, itself named after Judah L. Magnes (1877-1948). Magnes was the first native-born rabbi from the American West and the first Chancellor of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a cultural and political activist who, in the eyes of the founders, symbolized the spirit of California's Jews in their achievements and contributions to global humanity. The Center published over twenty monographs and bibliographies based on its collections. These imprints include Taking Risks: A Jewish Youth in the Soviet Partisans and His Unlikely Life in California by Fred Rosenbaum (2004), winner of Forward Magazine's Book of the Year award, and The Jews of the West: The Metropolitan Years, edited by Dr. Moses Rischin (1979). The Western Jewish History Center staff and collections provided guidance and research materials to over a dozen fundamental studies in Jewish Americana including Jewish Life in the American West by Ava Kahn (2002); Pioneer Jews, A New Life in the West by Harriet Rochlin (2000); Towers of Gold by Frances Dinkelspiel (2008); and Cosmopolitans, A Social and Cultural History of the Jews of the San Francisco Bay Area by Fred Rosenbaum (2009). Scope and Content of Collection The Western Jewish History Center, Vertical Files contain the office reference and research files of the Center and document its efforts to provide guidance and assistance in the study of western Jewish Americana.

However, its roots go back to 1874 with the establishment of the city's first Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA). The JCC SF reflects a progressive period in American history that resulted in provision of services and facilities for the underprivileged, and/or for minority ethnic groups. The Jewish Community Center project reflected both national and local efforts to facilitate coordination and effective work among Jewish social, athletic, cultural and charitable organizations by gathering them under one roof. Nationwide the Jewish community was influential in group social work, helping to develop the profession of social workers, and a wide variety of inclusive charitable organizations. In the era spanning 1900 to 1940, Jewish leaders in many American cities promoted the local development of these community centers to serve their communities as a central location for public service organizations, and recreational and social venues. The JCC SF is not closely associated with any specific event in the history of San Francisco or community, nor with any one individual significant to the city, state or nation.

  • Leader's Guide
    Kol Ishah: A Woman’s Voice This is the third year of the Women’s League Divrei Hokhmah initiative: engrossing material to be used at the beginning of a Sisterhood meeting as a d’var Torah . There is no better way to involve your women than to warm them up with a spirited discussion about issues of importance. This Divrei Hokhmah: Kol Ishah unit is designed as a brief ten-minute (or less – or more!) prelude to your Sisterhood meetings. We have provided prepared texts and study questions to generate lively discussion and social interaction as an effective lead-in to your program. Additionally, women will be involved in the mitzvah of study, one of Judaism’s most revered values. New Format • The format has been revamped and is designed so that anyone can lead the discussion. • There are fewer questions, and they require very little prior preparation by the discussion leader. • It is imperative, however, that there be sufficient copies of the participants’ texts so that women can read along. • Save unused material for another time. You can use it in a variety of venues. Why Kol Ishah? The concept of Kol Ishah: A Woman’s Voice was initially derived from the 20 th anniversary celebration of the Jewish Theological Seminary’s investiture of female cantors. Commemorated by this year’s Torah Fund pin, it was a deliciously ironic tribute to women whose voices were once banned from public ritual. It seemed a fitting selection for these Divrei Hokhmah mini-study units used to open Sisterhood meetings. After all, who better to speak for us, about us

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The New Jewish Pioneer: Capital, Land, and Continuity on the US-Mexico Border A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Chicana/o and Central American Studies by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg 2021 © Copyright by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The New Jewish Pioneer: Capital, Land, and Continuity on the US-Mexico Border by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg Doctor of Philosophy in Chicana/o and Central American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor Robert Chao Romero, Chair Ethnic Studies epistemologies have been central to the historicization and theorization of the US-Mexico border as an ordering regime that carries out structures of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and white supremacy. While scholars of Jewish history have explored the connections between colonial borders, transnational economic structures, and Jewish merchants, little is known about the role of Jewish entrepreneurs in the process of modern US-Mexico border formation. This dissertation explores how state, corporate, and military imperatives of US imperialism between the American Southwest and Northern Mexico created the conditions for Jewish inclusion into a white settler class and a model of Jewish continuity beyond Europe since the mid-nineteenth century. To explore the imprint of US settler colonialism on Jewish settlement, inclusion, and continuity, Chapter one reviews how Jews have been historicized as exceptional subjects in the contexts of colonial Mexico and the modern American West. Subsequently, Chapter two utilizes archival sources to reinscribe the Jewish border entrepreneur into the history of capitalist and ii military expansion across the new US imperial frontier.

  • Sybil Sheridan History of Women in the Rabbinate
    Sybil Sheridan History of Women in the Rabbinate: a Case of Communal Amnesia* It seems strange to be offering as history something that has in the main occurred in my own lifetime. Part of this makes me feel very old, as when my son asked me: “Mummy, was it the first world war or the second world war when you were a little girl?” But the history actually goes back quite some way: not just to 1976, when Rabbi Jacqueline Tabick was first ordained in England, nor to the ordination of Rabbi Sally Priesand in the USA in 1972, but at least a century. Why have we not heard of it? Because up to this moment, the history of women in the Rabbinate can be summed up quite neatly as a history of forgetting – a case of communal amnesia. To explain, I must apologise for beginning with a very personal moment in my own life, the day in October 1993 when Dr Hermann Simon, director of the Zentrum Judaicum Foundation in Berlin, came to the Leo Baeck College in London and presented a gift: a photograph and the ordination certificate of Rabbi Regina Jonas, ordained in Germany in 1935. The story of Rabbi Jonas may be well known to some; to others it will be new. Regina Jonas was born on 3 August 1902 in Berlin1 and at the age of 21 began working as a teacher of religion in the Orthodox Jewish School where her brother, Abraham also taught. Not content just to be a teacher, she * This article is based on a lecture given at Bet Deborah, Berlin to the European Conference of Women Rabbis, Cantors and Scholars, 13-16 May 1999 / 27 Iyar – 1 Sivan 5759; a shorter version has been published in German in the report of the conference: Sybil Sheridan, “Der Geschichte nicht trauen,” in: Bet Debora Berlin, Journal Nr.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Earl Raab dated June 5, 1996. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • JEM Programs for 2019-2020
    JEM Programs for 2019-2020 September 9, 2019: Confronting Hate, Promoting Love: A Personal Journey Through Racist Extremism ~ Elizabeth Moore Sponsored by an anonymous donor. Anti-Semitism and all forms of hate are on the rise in Canada, considerably fueled by online rhetoric which knows no borders. Confronting hate today feels like a daunting task; however, by understanding what motivates those who embrace it, as well as those who reject it, we have the opportunity to create positive changes in our communities. Tonight’s presenter will share insights into how and why people adopt racist extremist worldviews, why they may change, and what we can do collectively to disrupt the radicalization process. Elizabeth Moore is a former spokesperson for The Heritage Front, a white supremacist group. With the help of Bernie Farber and the Canadian Jewish Congress, she left the racist movement in 1995. Elizabeth has since contributed to numerous anti-racist education and arts initiatives, and continues to be a speaker, writer, and educator denouncing racist extremism. She is a member of the advisory board for the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and Parents for Peace. September 23: Escape from Vichy: The French Caribbean Connection ~ Eric Jennings Sponsor: Ronnee Alter, in memory of her husband, Lloyd This is the story of some 5000 refugees who left Vichy France via the French Caribbean in 1940-1941. They included Jews from all over Europe, anti-Nazis, Spanish republicans, Italian anti-fascists, and many others. The talk focuses on how the escape route came into being, how it was ultimately undone, and whether this significant historical event can truly be called a “rescue.” Eric T.
