  • The Lives of the Jews of Horažd'ovice
    The lives of the Jews of Horažd’ovice In Memoriam WESTMINSTER SYNAGOGUE Our community’s visit to Horažďovice confirmed that no brutality or oppression can ever destroy the spirit of humanity. #e inhabitants of that little town not only showed us their respect and love for those who were so cruelly taken from their midst but also that no amount of fear placed into people’s minds and hearts whether it was through fascism or communism can destroy the spark of godly spirit implanted within us. #e preservation of the Horažďovice scroll and the scrolls from other Czech cities is a reminder of our duty to foster their memories both within the Jewish community and outside, to pass it on to our children and to future generations, forming a chain strong enough to always overcome. It also tells us how important it is to respect one another and not allow prejudice to rear its ugly head. #ere has to be tolerance and understanding and our role here, with our friends in Horažďovice and with the world at large, is to ensure that this never ever should happen again. We must be vigilant and never remain silent in the face of danger or where truth is at stake. We owe this duty to all those who have perished in the horrors of the Holocaust and also to those who today, in different parts of the World, suffer because they are seemingly different. Humanity is only one, just as there is One God whose watchword we say twice a day, Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One.

    “Creative Conservation:” The Environmental Legacy of Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson, 1963-1969 Derek L. Tanner Kyle L. Walker Brooke Privette Amanda M. Rock Rayanna Hoeft Helen D. Johnson Nancy K. Berlage, Ph. D., Principal Investigator Dan K. Utley, Chief Historian Center for Texas Public History, Department of History Texas State University January 2020 ABSTRACT In May 2019, staff members of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, headquartered at Johnson City, and the Center for Texas Public History at Texas State University met to discuss a partnership for historical research related to President Johnson’s administrative role in conservation and environmentalism. Under the terms of the subsequent contract, graduate Public History students at Texas State University, working as a special projects class, identified, researched, and compiled information on eight distinct topical themes that provide greater insights into the larger context. Within the span of one semester, they conducted original research, and wrote and edited the following report, which is hereby presented to the National Park Service staff in fulfillment of the contract. Additionally, students compiled an extensive curriculum guide following the same general themes. That guide is separate from this published report and has been forwarded to park service personnel as a digital report.

  • Special Articles Jewish Theology in North America: Notes on Two Decades
    Special Articles Jewish Theology in North America: Notes on Two Decades by ARNOLD EISEN XF THERE IS ONE POINT OF AGREEMENT among students and practitioners of Jewish theology in North America, it is that not much creative work has been forthcoming over the last two decades. Eugene Borowitz, reflecting on "the Form of a Jewish Theology" at the start of the period under review here, wondered whether systematic Jewish thought could even be attempted in our time. "Holism" was essential, he argued, but it was perhaps unavailable.1 Neil Gillman, for that very reason, titled his book, issued in 1990, Sacred Fragments: Recovering Theology for the Modern Jew. Fragments were all we had at this point in the history of Judaism, he maintained. As a result, theology could not simply be written, it had to be "recovered."2 This sentiment is widespread. Few would disagree with Emil Fackenheim's pointed lament in 1982 that "in the realm of purely theoretical Jewish thought, and despite claims in this or that quarter to having 'gone beyond' Buber and Rosenzweig, the main characteristic of more recent Jewish thought is, by comparison, its low level. The consequence is that the pioneering work then accomplished still waits for adequate successors."3 Our first task in this overview of the Jewish theology produced in Amer- ica since Lou Silberman's Year Book survey in 1969,4 then, will be to join practitioners of the craft in wondering why their number and productivity have remained so limited. To be sure, there has been a prodigious amount of Jewish religious reflection in America.

  • Notes to Chapter 1
    Notes Notes to Chapter 1 1. The art of memory valued by the Ancient Greeks and developed in medieval times is still present in modern day books claiming to teach people how to improve their memories. Hence, Tony Buzan in Use Your Memory (1999) argues that by using a series of images and systems people can artificially enhance their memories. He combines this idea with contemporary ideas in brain science and New Age ideas on how thought and imagination can result in material changes. The Roman Room System, as he names it: is particularly amenable to the application of the left and right cortical skills, and to the Memory Principles … if you begin to imagine yourself, in possession of certain items that exist in your imaginary room, both your memory and creative intelligence will begin to work paraconsciously on ways in which you can actually acquire such objects, increasing the probability that you will eventually do so.’ (Buzan, 1999:66). 2. Part of this erasure of Jewish memory began in 1936 with a law in Germany banning stonemasons from carving Jewish gravestones (Young, 1988:189). 3. In the material relating to the trial of the commander of Helmbrechts, Alois Dorr, a number of former prisoners describe how one Jewish women was forced to stand in the snow with her hair shorn, because she had in her possession a photograph. (See S. K. Dorr, Vol. 4, p. 607, cited in Goldhagen (1997), note 54, p. 584). 4. For example, survivor Gena Turgel (1995) describes in I light a Candle how the Nazis forced people to participate in the erasure of their crimes.

  • Polish-Jewish and Czech-Jewish Studies: (Dis)Similarities
    Studia Judaica 19 (2016), nr 1 (37), s. 11–40 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.16.001.5347 POLISH-JEWISH AND CZECH-JEWISH STUDIES: (DIS)SIMILARITIES Rachel L. Greenblatt Building the Past: Historical Writing on the Jews of the Bohemian Crown Lands in the Early Modern Period Abstract: Scholarship on the history of Jews in the early modern period, espe- cially European Jewry, has flourished in recent years, clearly demonstrating that the period from c.1500 to c.1750 should be seen as distinct from both medieval and modern Jewish history. Mobility of people and information, changing rela- tionships among rabbinic leaders and communal organizations, and the evolv- ing nature of Jewish identity are among the characteristics that have been noted as unique to this period. This article surveys how historical scholarship related to Bohemian Jewry fits in that context, and suggests directions for moving that scholarship forward. Today’s historiography has grown from foundations laid in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Wissenschaft des Judentums framework, by way of the establishment of the Jewish Museum in Prague and scholarly activities undertaken there, through the difficult years of World War II and Communist rule. Building on that tradition, the strengths of current histori- cal writing on early modern Bohemian Jewry include material and print culture. Room remains for the development of broader, more synthetic analyses that link this regional history more closely with its central European and Jewish early mod- ern surroundings. More research on specific areas such as Bohemian Jewish his- tory through the lens of gender analysis, wide-ranging social history, and more, together with improved integration with broader historiographical trends, would both shed light on historical processes in the Bohemian Lands and improve un- derstanding of early modern Jewish history as a whole.
