From the Rabbi’s Desk/Rabbi James Prosnit Pittsburgh: From Platform to Principles The Pittsburgh Platform has long been considered a founding document in the story of Reform Judaism in America. Written in 1885 it sparked a revolution in identity and practice that set the stage for a Jewish life eager to embrace assimilation as the best way to ensure a Jewish future. The rabbis who signed it saw Judaism as a religion with ethical monotheism as its core. They hoped for a time when universal principles of tolerance would span all faiths and Jews would be accepted fully in our land. In many respects that has happened. But the shootings at the Tree of Life Synagogue reminded us that even noble visions fall short. No matter how universal the message and how accepting The shooter may have sought to “kill Jews” and American society is of Jews – bigots still see us as other. Anti-Semitism is alive, create fear, but for most of us the reaction has and in Pittsburgh that Shabbat morning, been to come together. its hatred became a lethal obsession. 1) Do not divide — multiply.

The repressed unused natures then tend to return as Images of the Golden Age, or Paradise, or as theories of the Happy Primitive. We can see how great poets, like Homer and Shakespeare, devoted themselves to glorifying the virtues of the previous era, as if it were their chief function to keep people from forgetting what it used to be to be a man.

  • Banning Cars from Manhattan
    Paul and Percival Goodman Banning Cars from Manhattan 1961 The Anarchist Library Contents Peripheral Parking.......................... 4 Roads.................................. 4 Means, etc................................ 6 Conclusion............................... 6 2 We propose banning private cars from Manhattan Island. Permitted mo- tor vehicles would be buses, small taxis, vehicles for essential services (doctor, police, sanitation, vans, etc.), and the trucking used in light industry. Present congestion and parking are unworkable, and other proposed solu- tions are uneconomic, disruptive, unhealthy, nonurban, or impractical. It is hardly necessary to prove that the actual situation is intolerable. “Motor trucks average less than six miles per hour in traffic, as against eleven miles per hour for horse drawn vehicles in 1911.” “During the ban on nonessential vehicles during the heavy snowstorm of February 1961, air pollution dropped 66 per cent.” (New York Times, March 13, 1961.) The street widths of Manhattan were designed, in 1811, for buildings of one to four stories. By banning private cars and reducing traffic, we can, in most areas, close off nearly nine out of ten cross-town streets and every second north-south avenue. These closed roads plus the space now used for off-street parking will give us a handsome fund of land for neighborhood relocation. At present over 35 percent of the area of Manhattan is occupied by roads. Instead of the present grid, we can aim at various kinds of enclosed neighborhoods, in approximately 1200-foot to 1600-foot superblocks. It would be convenient, however, to leave the existing street pattern in the main midtown shopping and business areas, in the financial district, and wherever the access for trucks and service cars is imperative.

    ^^. The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE: Thursday, October I7, I968 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart PRESS PREVIEW: Wednesday, October I6, I968 2-6 P.M. A six-foot scale model of Louis Kahn^s Monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs will have its first public showing at The Museum of Modern Art from October I7 through November I5. Commissioned by the Committee to Commemorate the Six Million Jewish Martyrs representing nearly 50 national and local Jewish organizations, the monument was designed for a site in Battery Park, alongside the Promenade near the Emma Lazarus Tablet and overlooking the Statue of Liberty. It has been approved in principle by the Parks Department and by the City Art Commission, and it is hoped that work can be completed by 1970. Arthur Drexler, Director of the Museum*s Department of Architecture and Design, says that the monument offers a physical embodiment of hope as well as despair. It consists of seven glass piers each 10* square and 11* high placed on a 66^ square granite pedestal. The center pier has been given the character of a small chapel into which people may enter. The walls of the chapel will be inscribed. The six piers around the center, all of equal dimensions^ are blank. "The one - the chapel - speaks; the other six are silent," the architect says. The piers are constructed of solid blocks of glass that interlock without the use of mortar, "Changes of light, the seasons of the year, the play of the weather, and the drama of movement on the river will transmit their life to the monument," Mr.

  • BATTLING for BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L
    1 BATTLING FOR BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L. Schneider Introduction Anthony C. Wood Preservation in New York City has achieved such a level of success that it risks being taken for granted by new generations of New Yorkers; a fate that could translate into a future of unnecessarily lost buildings and disfigured historic neighborhoods. December 2009 saw the designation of the city’s 100th historic district and 2010 marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of New York City’s hard won landmarks law. Preservation in New York certainly has come of age. Contributing to the possibility that future New Yorkers may misguidedly assume preservation is now the city’s default policy position (tragically ignoring the cold reality that the blood of most New York powerbrokers still races at the mere mention of real estate development) is the fact that preservationists have largely failed to tell their stories of the often heroic efforts required to save the city’s landmarks and historic districts. One wonderful exception to this is the story of the saving of Brooklyn Heights. Thanks to the prescience and dedication of those involved in this battle, the struggle to save Brooklyn Heights is the best documented of all New York City’s preservation sagas. Today we are fortunate to have available to us extensive newspaper accounts from that time, numerous original documents, oral histories and personal remembrances. If only the same could be said for other significant chapters in preservation’s history. Thanks to Martin L. Schneider, we now can add to the existing material on Brooklyn Heights, this compelling narrative “Battling for Brooklyn Heights.” Told through the eyes of a witness to history and capturing the emotions of one who lived through it, Mr.
