  • Milwaukee's Jews and the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle Steve Byers, UW-Milwaukee
    Chronicling a Community: Milwaukee's Jews and the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle Steve Byers, UW-Milwaukee The year was 1921. Milwaukee and the United States were coming out of what would be called World War I into a decade of relative prosperity. But it was also a time of distress for some newer Americans because the World War had fostered a rise in nativism that had some of this nation's ethnic communities on edge.1 To Milwaukee's Jewish community, it was the end of a period that had found that group almost tripling in size from an estimated 7,000 in 1907 to around 22,000 in 1922, with most of the growth coming from immigration, largely from Eastern Europe, according to historians Louis J. Swichkow and Lloyd P. Gartner. Despite the heavy immigration, a sizable number of Milwaukee Jews at that time were able to speak English.2 That sizable Jewish population speaking English becomes important because two men came into this community to establish Milwaukee's first English-language Jewish newspaper.3 The two, Nathan J. Gould and Irving G. Rhodes, had published Jewish newspapers in other Midwestern cities and dreamed of a chain of Jewish newspapers throughout the Midwest. On December 16, 1921, the pair started the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, a weekly publication that continues today. They produced a newspaper that was considered distinguished and solid. It also became successful enough that they abandoned plans for other publications and centered their attention on Milwaukee and the Chronicle.4 Despite the importance of ethnic newspaper editors and publishers,5 there has been surprisingly little written about the Chronicle or Gould and Rhodes.

  • Jewish Federation of Reading Student Camp and Education Awards
    Jewish Federation of Reading Student Camp and Education Awards For several years, Jewish Federation of Reading has provided monetary awards to children who attended Jewish summer camp and to support students studying abroad in Israel or participating in a number of Jewish sponsored high school education programs in Israel. Last year, a committee was formed to help put into place a structure for the award offerings. Thanks to the work of the Educational Committee, the Federation is proud to offer Jewish children/students, who are residents of our Berks County Jewish community, monetary awards to help support their participation in programs that nurture Jewish identity, leadership and connections with their culture, history and Israel. Working together with our families and thanks to your campaign support, our Jewish community can help its children grow and discover a deep-seated and profound sense of what it means to them to be a Jew while learning about themselves and the world. If you have questions pertaining to your child/children’s eligibility for any of the offerings below, please do not hesitate to contact William D. Franklin at the Federation office – 610- 921-0624. Are you interested in helping send a camper to Jewish camp or support a student as they pursue academic study and explore their Jewish culture abroad?

  • Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York
    Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York Israel in Our Lives is a project sponsored by The CRB Foundation, The Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education Department of Jewish Education and Culture in the Diaspora, and The Charles R. Bronfman Centre for the Israel Experience: Mifgashim. In cooperation with Jewish Education Service of North America and Israel Experience, Inc. Israel In Our Lives Online was funded in part through a generous grant from the Joint Program for Jewish Education of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State of Israel. The editors would like to thank all the authors, advisors, and consultants of the Israel In Our Lives series— educational leaders who have brought their considerable insights and talents to bear on this project. In addition to those already mentioned in these pages, we extend our appreciation to those who helped in shaping the project concept: Dr. Zvi Bekerman, Gidon Elad, Dr. Cecile Jordan, Rachel Korazim, Clive Lessem, Caren Levine, Dr. Zev Mankowitz, Dr. Eliezer Marcus, & Susan Rodenstein. Part 1 While no one would suggest that the synagogue and Israel are duplicates of one another - and indeed the differences between them are legion - they have in this generation increasingly represented (especially for North American Jewry) two important, parallel symbols of Jewish identity. This is because both are special "places" in which being a Jew constitutes an essential pre-requisite, perhaps even a sine qua non, for affiliation. Additionally, both are places where one expects to find Jews in the overwhelming majority and in charge, where Jewish concerns are paramount, and where Hebrew is spoken.
