  • (The) Sisterhood Is Powerful: Remarks by Rabbi Rachel M. Isaacs Upon the Inauguration of the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Professorship in Jewish Studies
    (The) Sisterhood is Powerful: Remarks by Rabbi Rachel M. Isaacs upon the Inauguration of the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Professorship in Jewish Studies. November 19, 2015 Colby College, Waterville, Maine In October of 1957, the Beth Israel Congregation sisterhood met to discuss issues that ranged from the pedestrian to the controversial. After a vigorous conversation on the value of having a gossip column in the synagogue newsletter, the women of the sisterhood turned to their attention to an issue that was as salacious as it was fantastical: the possibility of women rabbis. Even though the Reform movement had ordained one woman, Regina Jonas, in Germany before the Holocaust, she had perished with her congregation in the concentration camps, and was largely forgotten by the mainstream Jewish world for many decades to come. But on this day in October of 1957, the sisterhood leaders of Beth Israel Congregation discussed the issue in Waterville, Maine. According to synagogue records, “Mrs. George Chesner introduced Rabbi Steinberg who was the speaker of the evening. His topic - ‘Women Rabbis’.” Sisterhood secretary Esther Paikowsky recorded his remarks: “Rabbi Steinberg is definitely opposed to women following this 1 profession. One reason being that there would not be a ‘Rebbetzin (a rabbi’s wife), and since a ‘Rebbetzin’ has functional duties in a congregation, it would not do to have the husband perform these duties. Another objection is who would raise the family and care for the home, certainly a man cannot do that. Therefore a man

  • Variation in Form and Function in Jewish English Intonation
    Variation in Form and Function in Jewish English Intonation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rachel Steindel Burdin ∼6 6 Graduate Program in Linguistics The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Brian D. Joseph, Advisor Professor Cynthia G. Clopper Professor Donald Winford c Rachel Steindel Burdin, 2016 Abstract Intonation has long been noted as a salient feature of American Jewish English speech (Weinreich, 1956); however, there has not been much systematic study of how, exactly Jewish English intonation is distinct, and to what extent Yiddish has played a role in this distinctness. This dissertation examines the impact of Yiddish on Jewish English intonation in the Jewish community of Dayton, Ohio, and how features of Yiddish intonation are used in Jewish English. 20 participants were interviewed for a production study. The participants were balanced for gender, age, religion (Jewish or not), and language background (whether or not they spoke Yiddish in addition to English). In addition, recordings were made of a local Yiddish club. The production study revealed differences in both the form and function in Jewish English, and that Yiddish was the likely source for that difference. The Yiddish-speaking participants were found to both have distinctive productions of rise-falls, including higher peaks, and a wider pitch range, in their Yiddish, as well as in their English produced during the Yiddish club meetings. The younger Jewish English participants also showed a wider pitch range in some situations during the interviews.

  • The Rebbetzin and the Thespian Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Ekev 5776 Four Words. It Was Four Words That Made Steven Hill Famous, and F
    The Rebbetzin and The Thespian Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Ekev 5776 Four words. It was four words that made Steven Hill famous, and four words that changed his life. Anyone who viewed the original series “Mission Impossible” remembers the tape played at the beginning of each episode, saying “Good Morning, Mr. Phelps” to the character played by Peter Graves. Originally, however, that recording said “Good Morning, Mr. Briggs,” to the character Dan Briggs, played by Steven Hill, who passed away this week at the age of 94. Hill was best known in Hollywood for the many roles he played in television and movies; in the Jewish world, he was known for being a baal teshuvah who embraced traditional Judaism at the height of his ​ ​ career. His return to Judaism came about because of another four words. In ​ 1961, he appeared in the play A Far Country, portraying Sigmund Freud. This experience had a profound effect on Hill's later life, because in one scene, a patient screams at Freud, "You are a Jew!" This happened every week, nine times a week, and it caused Hill to think about his life. "In the pause that followed I would think, 'What about this?' I slowly became aware that there was something more profound going on in the world than just plays and movies and TV shows. I was provoked to explore my religion." 1 He became a disciple of the previous Skverer Rebbe, Rav Yaakov Yosef Twersky, who encouraged him to continue acting, and while his observance led to an 11 year career hiatus, he returned to the screen for a number of successful roles, including that of Adam Schiff, the hardbitten and pragmatic DA on Law and Order.
