66 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1908, the English " Jewish Year Book" for 56C8, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jiidische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. Some of the statements rest upon the authority of competent individuals, as for South Africa and Curagoa. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES 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 estimates. 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 184S by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates. In the left-hand column is given the estimated Jewish population of each State for 1905 as it appears in the " Jewish Encyclopedia," Vol. XII, pp. 371-374, in the article "United States." In the right-hand column are the estimates made up from figures fur- nished by correspondents who interested themselves in the DIRECTORY OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES com- piled for the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 5668 (p. 432).

SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

Her long, straight hair cascaded down the page, fram- ing the charming face selected to represent a group of ten “lovely young film stars of Europe.” Calling the young women “stars” was something of a misnomer, since all were relative newcomers. But given that Life was then enjoying a peak circulation of 8.5 million copies, chances were good that at least some of the featured starlets would soon develop into true celebrities.1 Each had been handed an express ticket to fame, none more so than the woman showcased on the cover. What would it take for Catherine’s big break to result in true celebrity? If stars achieve their status primarily because they are uniquely gifted, attractive, and interesting people, then the answer would depend on the aspiring performer herself. If the public plays the chief role in determin- ing who becomes a celebrity, then Catherine’s success would depend on how well she realized its collective ideals and desires. And if the power to confer stardom resides first and foremost with the media, then publicity alone would do the trick. Each of these three explanations of how celebrity works has received considerable support among both scholars and the general public.

So will es zumindest Heinrich Heine in seiner Lutetia (1855) wissen (Heine 1981, 401). Die Pointe, also der Ver- gleich von Kant mit Cagliostro, dem neapolitanischen Scharlatan, hat an amüsanter Prägnanz seit Heines Zeiten nichts eingebüßt. Sie erschließt sich wohl nach wie vor den allermeisten Lesern.
  • The First Exhibition of the Art Collection of the Jewish Community Berlin1

    The First Exhibition of the Art Collection of the Jewish Community Berlin1

    The First Exhibition of the Art Collection of the Jewish Community Berlin1 From the report on the opening day by Moritz Stern Out of the great wealth of precious material our collection contains, only part of it can be exhibited due to limited space: an exhibition, I assembled from Albert Wolf’s donation, from acquisitions made, and from loans from the Community with the addition of several library treasures2. A so-called “Guide through the Exhibition,” it is to be hoped, will soon provide the necessary orientation. For today, the following overview shall offer a kind of substitute. Only few antiquities from Palestine can be found in Europe. These are solely owed to excavations. Wolf managed to acquire several that give us insight into private life in ancient Palestine. Reminding us in its shape of the worship in the time of the older kingdom is an idolatry figure (Astarte) from clay, even though it might originate only from the Maccabean period. The subsequent period, when the Second Temple was still in existence, emerges before our mind’s eyes thanks to an oil lamp, also from clay. We can see the inventory of Palestinian houses in the Roman period through various valuable glasses, a small gold chain, a little bronze lion, and other items. A valuable coin collection gradually assembled by Wolf is transferring us into the public life of the Jewish state. It is an excellent visual and educational example for our laypeople, but also a treasure trove for the archeological science; since it forms a complement to the collections of the Münzkabinett (Numismatic Collection) in Berlin and the British Museum in London.

The mode of spirituality called the Left Hand Path has, Embracing the Dark however, not yet attracted the attention of academia. The present study of the dark The Magic Order of Dragon Rouge– magic order DRAGON ROUGE constitutes an attempt to contribute thoroughly and Its Practice in Dark Magic creatively to this line of research. Objects of study are the organization, philosophy and Meaning Making and practices of the order, as well as the complex discursive conventions involved in the adherents’ construction of coherent world views. In an attempt to shed light on the particularities of this contemporary, late modern esoteric phenomenon, a historical perspective on Western Esotericism has here been combined with a discussion on the impact of recent societal change.
