    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 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 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. 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 1848 by M.

  • Ethical Perspectives of Stem Cell Research
    The Writing Anthology Edited by Elizabeth Koele and Hannah Marcum Advisors Walter Cannon and Joshua Dolezal A Publication of the English Department and the Art Department Central College Pella, Iowa 2016 Dear Readers, Welcome to the 36th edition of The Writing Anthology. We are very excited to share this year’s publication with you. After reviewing nearly fifty submissions, we selected the following thirteen pieces to be featured in the anthology. The difficulty of this selection process is a testament to the excellent quality of student writing at Central College, and we are proud to see all the hard work put in by our peers. Ideas have power. Each of the following essays was written with a unique goal to transform perspective. Through examining relevant questions and proposing solutions, the authors contribute to a broader global discourse. Considered as a whole, we believe this anthology develops a compelling statement concerning our present and future realities. The first and last pieces in this anthology are natural complements. Both explore the association between humans and their health. Together, they build a framework for the progression of the collection. The first half of the anthology highlights human connection, both good and bad. Central to our arrangement is a philosophy essay that reminds readers of the origins of academic reasoning—a lens through which humans interpret their surroundings. Following this, the anthology’s focus shifts toward meaningful interaction between humanity and the environment, reaching for a balance between the two elements. Each year the John Allen Award is granted to the author or authors of the best student writing.

  • Depression Since Prozac: an Argument for Authenticity Russell Helms* College of Arts and Sciences, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, USA
    essio epr n D an f d Helms, J Depress Anxiety 2018, 7:1 o A l a n n x r DOI: 10.4172/2167-1044.1000298 i e u t y o J Journal of Depression and Anxiety ISSN: 2167-1044 ResearchReview Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Depression Since Prozac: An Argument For Authenticity Russell Helms* College of Arts and Sciences, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, USA Abstract Many science writers think that taking drugs such as Prozac for depression betrays one’s authenticity. This paper belies that notion, promoting the benefits of SSRIs, namely for the relief of depressive symptoms, which leads to a fuller and more meaningful life. Critics of Prozac and the SSRIs, such as Charles Barber, Carl Elliot, Nassir Ghaemi, and David Healy, decry the loss of sadness as a vital organ to one’s authenticity. This organic authenticity it seems is the primary indicator that one is following his or her “true self.” I argue that an unmedicated self, while suffering from depression, is not the true self and that rather the “true self” is that person who has been lifted from depression by medications such as Prozac, which leads to a more meaningful and productive life. As the number one cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, the pharmacologic treatment of depression deserves respect and an open mind to those interventions that have been proven to work. Keywords: Depression; Prozac; Psychopharmacology; Authenticity; In terms of cost, according to the CDC, “the economic burden of Sadness depression, including workplace costs, direct costs and suicide-related costs, was estimated to be $210.5 billion in 2010.” Drugs like Prozac Introduction are, of course, a substantial portion of this disease cost.

It is a truism in Wallace studies that Wallace is a posthuman writer whose characters are devoid of any kind of inner interiority or soul. This is a misreading of Wallace’s work. My argument is that Wallace’s work and his characters—though they are much neglected in Wallace studies—are animated by the tension between materialism and essentialism, and this dualism is one of the major ways in which Wallace bridges postmodern fiction with something new.

Voting Against: none. Abstaining: Rabbi Jan Kaufman. Sheilah: May a single, unmarried, individual who wants to choose to become a parent through adoption and/or the use of artificial reproductive technologies (ART) do so under Jewish law? Teshuvah: Introduction: About fifteen years ago, a congregant approached me to perform a baby naming for her newborn daughter. I knew the woman. She had grown up in the congregation. She was single, had despaired of ever getting married, and had chosen to utilize ART to have a child of her own and raise that child on her own. She wanted to welcome her child into the covenant within her congregational home. The next Sabbath, with the proud grandparents in attendance, the woman carried her daughter up to the bimah for her aliyah, following which I blessed her and her child and announced the child’s name. After services, I was approached by several older members who were distressed that the congregation had “legitimized” a child born “out of wedlock.” It was irrelevant to them that they knew the woman since she had been a child and were otherwise sympathetic to her.
