Horowitz Ken Ruoff Friedrich Schuler Michael Weingrad Portland State University 2010 ABSTRACT Rabbi Stephen S. Wise presents an excellent subject for the study of Jewish social progressivism in Portland in the early years of the twentieth-century. While Wise demonstrated a commitment to social justice before, during, and after his Portland years, it is during his ministry at congregation Beth Israel that he developed a full-fledged social program that was unique and remarkable by reaching out not only within his congregation but more importantly, by engaging the Christian community of Portland in interfaith activities.

Alternative selections are offered each shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the MRJ siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals.

  • The Yeae 5663
    THE YEAR 17 THE YEAE 5663 BY RABBI MAXMILLIAN HELLER, B. Lv M. A. As 1881 was made memorable in Jewish annals by the Elizavetgrad pogrom, 1891 by the Moscow oblava, that mid- night raid upon the unsuspecting, so 1903 will be known as the year of Kishineff. In the intervening years, Germany, Austria, France, Algeria, Eoumania, have, each in turn, held the centre of the Jewish stage by some fitful outburst of pre- judice or hatred; Russia, the great anachronism, stepfather- land of one-half of the world's Jews, has easily distanced, in these three successive times, all the accumulated horrors of every other paroxysm. At the opening of 5663, Jewish pulpits resounded with exultation over Secretary Hay's Note to Roumania. There was, at once, a feeling of uncertainty as to the probable effects of that bold act of intercession, even some criticism of the statements and implications put forward. Hardly any one ex- pected united action on the part of the Powers appealed to; whatever hope of ultimate benefit there was rested upon the moral weight of the measure and upon the financial exigencies of the turbulent Danubian Kingdom. Efforts were made, in the course of the year, to bring the matter to a head; Eng- land addressed a Note to Germany, proposing action; Dr. Bernstein appealed in the German Reichstag, Count d'Aunay in the French Senate, for some condemnation of Roumania's breach of agreement. Neither appeal met with any response, 18 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAH BOOK while an interpellation in the Austrian Keichsrath received a sympathetic reply from Minister Korber who had, however, to avow his helplessness in the premises.
