This issue illustrates how the two concerns come together: there are articles, for example, on Jewish contributions to the performing and visual arts, and an essay on the founding of the Miriam Hospital as a service to non­ Jewish as well as Jewish patients and doctors. There is an essay on the philanthropy of a well-established Providence family and there are also stories told by two women who came to the Providence-Boston area only after escaping from wartime distress halfway around the world. The theme of war, and its impact on the local Jewish community, has run through the essays and recollections published in the Notes from this journal’s beginning— the theme of surviving man’s inhumanity to man, and not only surviving, but coming through with style. Recently, the five-part series entitled “Jewish Veterans of World War II” offered a panorama of experiences related by Rhode Island servicemen. More wartime experiences are retold in this issue, ordeals endured by civilians and soldiers, women and men, immigrants to Rhode Island and native sons, from Europe to Shanghai, from Providence and Pawtucket to Vietnam, with a look also at troubled conditions in prewar Palestine and Nazi Germany. Our efforts to make sense of all the violence and dislocation continue to occupy our thoughts and our memories after a century of almost unceasing combat in which Jews have suffered and then borne witness to their losses. We can only pray that the new century may be less painful. As Mr. Klyberg put it, our hope at the local level is that “as understanding and true affection Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes grows, our Heritage Harbor partnership will develop such a permanent bond that no one, no group in our community, will ever have to face evil alone again.” On a lighter note, I wish to acknowledge the efforts made by Alene Silver in scrupulously proofreading and researching matters large and small; by Aaron Cohen in diligently recruiting new authors; by Anne Sherman in tirelessly operating the new computer; and by Dick Dow in fastidiously designing the page layouts for the Notes and patiently executing many changes and revisions. You will notice the use in these pages of a larger type face, or font, together with other typographical improvements. These changes will result in less crowded pages and should make for easier reading. In addition, this issue features a full color front cover. As always, we welcome your suggestions toward making this journal interesting, useful, and relevant to Jewish life in Rhode Island. 9 A Rhode Island Historian Looks at the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes by Albert T. Klyberg At the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association on April 18, 1999, Mr. Klyberg, director of the Rhode Island Historical Society, delivered the twenty-ninth David Charak Adel man lecture. In his talk, he commented on the forty-five-year output of the Notes, 1954-98. Historical organizations like the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Asso­ ciation and the Rhode Island Historical Society make their mark on the community in many ways. Although one of the most important is the social relationships they create in the form of meetings and gatherings, in the end it is easier to analyze and measure the permanent product they make — publications. It is still the printed word that we have the easiest time grasping and thinking of as “history.” Over the years, for my lectures at the University of Rhode Island and Providence College, I have had many occasions to use the Jewish Historical Notes to explain a development in the state’s history. I have always found them to be informative, and I have always found them to contain surprises and interesting twists. Therefore, I decided to sit down and read them from cover to cover, from 1954 to 1998. Actually, the

  • Jewish Organizational Life in the United States Since 1945
    Jewish Organizational Life in the United States Since 1945 by JACK WERTHEIMER .T\FTER MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY of expansive institutional growth at home and self-confident advocacy on behalf of coreligionists abroad, the organized Jewish community of the United States has entered a period of introspection and retrenchment in the 1990s. Voices emanating from all sectors of the organized community demand a reallocation of funds and energy from foreign to local Jewish needs, as well as a rethinking of priorities within the domestic agenda. Their message is unambiguous — "The future begins at home."1 Institutional planners are also advocating a "radical redesign" of the community's structure: some insist that agencies founded early in the 20th century are obsolete and should merge or disap- pear; others seek to create entirely new institutions; others castigate com- munal leaders as "undemocratic" or irrelevant to the lives of most Jews and demand that they step aside; and still others urge a "major overhaul" of the community's priorities as a way to win back the alienated and disaffiliated.2 In short, the organized Jewish community is engaged in a far-reaching reassessment of its mission and governing institutions. Note: The author acknowledges with appreciation generous support from the Abbell Fac- ulty Research Fund at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Much of the research for this essay was conducted at the Blaustein Library of the American Jewish Committee, whose staff graciously provided much helpful assistance.The author also thanks Jerome Chanes and Peter Medding for reviewing the manuscript.

  • The James Blair Historical Review
    The James Blair Historical Review Volume 10 - Issue 1 - WiNter 2020 Letter From the Editor Dear Reader, IN the immortal words of the historiaN Carl Becker, “the history that lies inert in unread books does No work iN the world. The history that does work in the world, the history that influences the course of history, is liviNg history… that enlarges and enriches the collective specious present.” What you have before you, the teNth volume and first issue of the James Blair Historical Review, is a labor of love, a collectioN of histories that seeks to do work in the world. IN this time of chaos aNd calamity, we at the James Blair Historical Review are truly blessed to have gotteN to publish such brilliaNt work. Nell Williamson Shafer’s “Borderwaters at the Edge of Empire” spiNs us a fasciNatiNg tale about the peripheries of empire and actual pirates of the CaribbeaN. CaroliNe Azdell’s “The Path of Progress,” on racism and student culture at our very owN College of William & Mary, remiNds us to stay vigilant in recognizing the racial prejudice withiN our academic commuNities. Andrew Bilodeau’s “Creating a Crime” is a thoroughly eNlighteNiNg accouNt oN the wartime iNternment and scapegoating of Canadian-Italians during the SecoNd World War. ClosiNg the issue is Jordan Sisco’s “Egypt in Africa,” an erudite work that coNsiders the historical relatioNship between the Land of the Nile and its African continent. These essays are eNgrossiNg, meaNiNgful, aNd accessible histories, and I am delighted to share them with you here. MaNy thaNks are iN order for this year’s Review, coiNcideNtally celebratiNg its 10th ANNiversary.
