Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils

rpms DIRECTORY is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish Federations -L and Welfare Funds. Virtually all of these community organizations are affiliated with the Council as their national association for sharing of common services, interchange of experi- ence, and joint consultation and action. These communities comprise at least 95 per cent of the Jewish population of the United States and about 90 per cent of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each commu- nity is the local central agency—federation, welfare fund, or community council—with its address and the names of the president and executive director. The names "federation," "welfare fund," and "Jewish community council" are not defini- tive and their structures and functions vary from city to city. What is called a federation in one city, for example, may be called a community council in another. In the main these central agencies have responsibility for some or all of the following functions: (a) raising of funds for local, national, and overseas services; (b) allocation and distribution of funds for these purposes; (c) coordination and central planning of local services, such as family welfare, child care, health, recreation, community relations within the Jewish community and with the general community, Jewish education, care of the aged, and vocational guidance, to strengthen these services, eliminate duplication and fill gaps; (d) in small and some in- termediate cities, direct administration of local social services. In the directory, the following symbols are used: (!) Member agency of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. (2) Receives support from Community Chest.

YITZCHAK LEYBUSH PERETZ

AN APPRECIATION

AY 18, 1952 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of M Yitzchak Leybush Peretz—poet, story teller, dramatist, essayist, jour- nalist, editor. Peretz's work became familiar to readers of Hebrew as early as the 70's and 80's of the nineteenth century; in 1888 he began to publish in Yiddish and rapidly assumed a position of leadership in Yiddish literature as an inspiring force. However, Peretz never identified wholly either with the Hebraists or with the Yiddishists; he had written in Yiddish before 1888, and he con- tinued to employ Hebrew to achieve certain of his literary goals after that date. For Peretz had too many intellectual interests, was too many-sided a man, too dynamic an artist and thinker, and, regardless of his social demo- cratic sympathies, was too much of an individualist ever to be a social or literary partisan. Hence it is not surprising that almost every group and faction in Jewish life and literature should claim some aspect of Peretz as its own. The hun- dredth anniversary of his birth has been celebrated by Yiddishists and He- braists, Zionists and non-Zionists, Socialists and non-Socialists alike. Early in 1952 the World Congress for Jewish Culture, whose headquarters are in New York, took the initiative and officially declared 1952 to be the Peretz Cen- tenary. Celebrations were held in Jewish communities throughout the world, and were marked by exhibitions, readings, lectures, radio and school pro- grams, and translations (mainly into English, Spanish, and Polish). Peretz was popularized by articles in the press, bibliographies, and pamphlets; com- plete volumes were devoted to his work and influence. In New York City a square and in Haifa, Israel, a street were named after him. In Israel, of course, it was Peretz's accomplishments in Hebrew that were stressed. But the truth is that like almost all of the nineteenth-century Jewish writers Peretz was bilingual, writing in both Yiddish and Hebrew. (Peretz, incidentally, wrote Polish poetry in his youth, as well.) Peretz's diversity was not limited to literary forms and language. He made a deep impression both on the literature of the Jewish Enlightenment (par- ticularly on the popular and Socialist-oriented aspects) and on the literature of the post-Enlightenment period. He was limited to no particular epoch or ideology. Peretz's career is the history of modern East European Jewish thought and writing in brief. Three factors contributed to the variety of Peretz's genius: the milieu where he spent the first and largest part of his life; his family; and his unique per- sonality. Born in Zamos'c, a former Russian stronghold near the Austrian and Ger- man frontiers, Peretz imbibed these various cultures in his youth, in addition to the Jewish, and they all had a part in the shaping of his remarkably broad Weltanschauung. YITZCHAK LEYBUSH PERETZ 543 Other forces conspired to free Peretz from the narrow confines of his birth- place, which despite the appellation of Paris Minor in which its residents delighted, was after all only a provincial Russian-Polish town. Peretz came of a solid Sephardic-Ashkenazic family of distinguished lineage, intellectually sophisticated and rich with the traditional religious culture. Then again, the Jewish community of Zamoscv had lost its homogenous character as early as the first half of the nineteenth century. In Peretz's youth the community was differentiated—not like other Jewish provincial towns only into the Chasidim and their opponents, the Mitnagdim—but also along the lines of the Ortho- dox, the semi-Orthodox, and the more-or-less enlightened group that included Jewish merchants whose business took them abroad to such cosmopolitan cen- ters as Danzig and Leipzig. Peretz's early profession was also significant. He was a lawyer, an occupation that enriched his social experience and cultural interests. Yet none of these hereditary and environmental influences would have been efficacious had Peretz not been singularly equipped by his own personal qualities to assimilate them. He was, in his own words, "an all- absorbing sponge.'' Peretz's earliest poetry, written in Yiddish, Hebrew, and Polish when he was very young, shows a confluence of three cultural streams that could not have been accidental: that of Jewish folklore, that of the Enlightenment, and that of the humanistic "positivist" European literature of the nineteenth century. Even in his juvenilia certain basic characteristics and motifs typical of his later work are evident: a frequently epigrammatic style; humor blended with satire; the "romantic irony" of Heine, simultaneously sentimental and sarcastic; a narrative tendency in his verse, and a fondness for the form and didactic character of the parable; a concern with social problems and radical interpretations of society; and an interest in love as a psychological motif, an innovation in Yiddish literature in the 70's and 80's of the nineteenth century.

N THE late 1880's, when Peretz had begun to publish stories in addition to I his earlier poetry in both Yiddish and Hebrew, an important change took place in his personal life, as well. He was compelled to quit Zamosc (he had been informed on for propagating Socialist ideas, and the Tsarist regime had deprived him of the right to practice law). For a year Peretz travelled through the Polish provinces as a member of a commission that was investigating the economic situation of the provincial Polish Jews. (The literary result of this trip was a series of excellent sketches of Jewish life in the small towns of Poland.) Afterward Peretz moved his permanent residence to Warsaw, where he took a position in the Jewish community administration. For half his work-day he labored in the Department of Cemeteries; the other half he de- voted to his vigorous social and literary activities. He was not content to write poetry, stories, popular science, essays, and later plays—Peretz was also an editor, publisher, did public reading, lectured, was a communal figure, and became a youth leader, particularly interested in those young people who had literary, artistic, or theatrical ambition and talent. In 1891 Peretz began to publish almanacs devoted to literature and social 544 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK problems, which were known as the Yiddishe Bibliotek. He was assisted in this work by Jacob Dineson, a popular novelist who devoted almost all of his free time to Peretz, to the point where he practically stopped writing himself to become Peretz's alter ego. The Bibliotek was financed by a group of Jewish intellectuals interested in the enlightenment of the Polish Jewish masses. Peretz eagerly discovered and developed talented co-workers. A few years later (1894-96) Peretz became associated with the students and young workers. With the collaboration of David Pinsky, who shortly after- ward emigrated to the United States, Peretz began to publish brief alamanacs, in lieu of a periodical, which it was extremely difficult to obtain govern- mental permission to publish. These Yomtov Bletlach, as they were popularly known, appeared on every Jewish holiday and special occasion, and con- tained, in addition to Peretz's own works, that of other young and liberal Jewish writers. Though never explicitly revolutionary because of the difficul- ties of censorship, the Yomtov Bletlach became a kind of legal organ for the illegal workers' and youth movement, which was then beginning to be organ- ized. Peretz became the hero of these restless groups, though he himself be- longed to none of their organizations, and they were influential in populariz- ing his publications. Peretz frequently attended their underground meetings to give them readings from his works (in 1899 he was arrested at one of these meetings and imprisoned for three months). Peretz set his personal imprint on the nascent Jewish literature and the movement whose aim it was to instruct the average Jew and to raise his cul- tural level. He was not the leader of that movement, because leadership de- mands a more circumscribed and set credo than the one Peretz possessed. Not being the standard bearer of the Jewish cultural movement, Peretz became its standard. Ceglana No. 1, the modest three-room apartment in Warsaw which he occupied until several years before his death, became the address of Jewish literature. Such literary aspirants as Abraham Reisen, Yehoash (Solomon Bloomgarten), David Pinsky, and later Sholem Asch and H. D. Naumberg came to Warsaw from the provinces, carrying manuscripts in their pockets, specially to see Peretz. Composers, actors, painters, sculptors, from every part of Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, young artists and intellectuals—all came to Ceglana No. 1, to read their works aloud and listen to the works of others, to discuss literary and social problems, to sing folk songs and sit at Peretz's table of a Sabbath eve, like Chasidim at the table of their rebbe.

ERETZ'S influence was not restricted to Europe. From 1893 on, almost all Phis writings were reprinted in American Yiddish journals and periodicals. Some of his satirical works could only be published pseudonymously in the United States because of the strict Russian censorship. Peretz distinguished himself in the Yiddish literature produced on both sides of the ocean not only by the brilliant variety of his literary talent but also by the originality of the aims he set himself and the unique means he employed to achieve them. It was Peretz's contention that a writer must use the vernacular as he would any other language—as Peretz himself did. Even more strongly than YITZCHAK LEYBUSH PERETZ 545 Mendele Mocher Seforim, Peretz was opposed to "descending to the level of the average reader—opposed to cheap popularization, to belaboring the obvi- ous. An author, he felt, was under an obligation to place his whole intellec- tual and artistic ego at the disposal of the reader, even the common reader, and dared not offer only fragments of his personality. An author dared not grudge to give of himself, for fear lest he might not be understood. His rela- tionship with the reader could not resemble that of a doctor to his patient (as many of the more pedantic rationalists believed). Rather it must be a rela- tionship of peers. According to Peretz, instructing the common people meant elevating them spiritually—i.e., not offering them predigested intellectual food, but rather teaching them to think for themselves. This required that the writer raise his own intellectual level, bringing himself to discover the doubts as well as the certainties within him. The writer's chief obligation was not to desire to change the old popular dogmas for the sake of new ones. The purpose of enlightenment was to liberate the common man from all forms of dogmatism. "I do not come to put you to sleep," Peretz addresses his reader in the introduction to the anthology Ha-Hetz, which was to have been the Hebrew counterpart of his Yiddish Yom Tov Bletlach, "I do not come to put you to sleep. On the contrary: I come to prevent you from sleeping." Inevitably, Peretz had to modify the Yiddish language to achieve his pur- poses. At the end of the 80's he wrote to Sholem Aleichem in one of his first letters: "If we introduce new ideas, we must also introduce new forms, a new idiom. . . ." "The goal of poetry," he expatiated in the same letter, "is not to repeat in metaphor what is common knowledge. We must open new heavens, create new concepts for the common man. We must express new, radical ideas, and not chew the same cud time and again." Peretz surpassed his contemporaries in the freedom and audacity with which he coined phrases and introduced foreignisms. As well as enriching Yiddish diction, Peretz accelerated its rhythm. Sholem Aleichem's tempo, like Mendele's, is that of the shtetl, the provincial small- town—slow, stable, set. Peretz made Yiddish more dynamic, more urbane. His sentences are short, breathless, rapid, nervous. Like his two colleagues Peretz took the themes of the bulk of his work from the shtetl environment of his youth; but his technique is cosmopolitan, almost European. There is a similar distinction between Sholem Aleichem and Mendele on the one hand and Peretz on the other in their attitude toward folklore. All three writers introduced a tremendous amount of folklore into their works; but while Mendele and Sholem Aleichem took no pains to separate them- selves from their subject matter, either in style or in language, the distance between folklore and literature is so large in Peretz that the process of the conversion of folklore into literature and of Yiddish from a vernacular into a language is readily apparent. Concomitant with the flexibility and urbane mobility of his diction and style, the restless thrust of his ideas, and the vigor of his emotions, was the principle, the very atmosphere, of individualism that Peretz introduced into Yiddish literature. Previous to Peretz, Yiddish literature had been essentially communal. Its background had been Kobtsansk, Kassrilevke—the Jewish com- 546 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK munity qua community. Every character represented not only himself but also the group and collective of which he was a part—the poor people or the rich people, the old-fashioned traditionalists or the up-to-date enlightened folk. Peretz did not disassociate himself from the community; he continued the tradition of depicting the social and communal milieu. But his writings give expression to the individual qua individual. He described the social and communal situation by tracing the complicated psychological structure of his characters. Never content with externals, Peretz sought continually to pene- trate deep into his characters and situations. The result is that, even in his most realistic stories in which a social motif is presented against a social back- ground, Peretz analyzed personality. Take, for instance, Der Tanis, a typical story of social significance pub- lished in 1890. The readers' sympathies are aroused for the children of the poor Jewish laborer who must go to sleep with empty stomachs, and for their mother who has difficulty restraining her tears when her husband returns home empty-handed late at night. Yet even more intense is our interest in the paterfamilias himself, the water carrier, who, crude though he may be, discovers a delicate way of soothing his children, so hungry they cannot fall asleep. He tells them that a penitential fast has been decreed in the syna- gogue, because a Torah scroll had fallen to the ground. At this news the children are no longer hungry; rather, like all the other Jews, they too are fasting. Clearly, the psychoanalytic concept of sublimation was unfamiliar not only to Peretz's water carrier, but to Peretz himself in 1889. Like many other artists Peretz had an intuitive grasp of the truths of modern psycho- analysis. The uniqueness of Peretz's accomplishment in Yiddish literature lay in the fact that he was the first to give Yiddish narrative a universal psychological dimension. Peretz's characters are all completely Jewish. But since it was his aim to penetrate to the core of their personalities—and at heart they are pri- marily human—it may be said that while Sholem Aleichem and Mendele looked primarily for the Jew in the human being, Peretz discovered the human being in the Jew. He presents universal human problems for our con- sideration in an authentic Jewish form. That is why so Jewish a folk story as "Buntshe Shvayg" has been translated into many languages and has been reprinted in many English anthologies.1 Even in Peretz's most traditional works (e.g., the series of stories popularly known as the "Chasidic" and "folk" tales which were most responsible for his reputation and created a complete neo-Romantic movement in Jewish literature), on the whole his deeper motifs are universal, not simply Jewish. There has been a tendency in Jewish literary criticism, particularly in that originating in the Soviet Union, to lay stress on a significant distinction be- tween Peretz's earlier "realistic" and "radical" period of the 90's, and his later "romantic-nationalistic" period. There is no justification for this chron- ology. At bottom Peretz was never completely a revolutionary realist or a romantic nationalist. His early "realism" was one of depth, often employing

1 Among the first to translate Peretz into English in England and the United States were Helena Frank and Professor Leo Wiener. Those who have written about Peretz in English include Professor Gotthard Deutsch, Horace M. Kallen, Sol Liptzin, Louis Lipsky, Dr. A. A. Roback, and Maurice Samuel. YITZCHAK LEYBUSH PERETZ 547 folk material and allegorical in spirit. Despite the fact that his Chasidic and folk tales were based on historical, folk, and legendary sources, his "romantic" work never showed the slightest desire to revive the past. Nor was his roman- ticism ever that idealization of the Middle Ages so characteristic of the Ger- man Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century. In Peretz's roman- ticism he attempted to forecast the future in the depths of the past; he was a revolutionary romantic a la Victor Hugo, rather than a romantic a la Cha- teaubriand. Peretz betrayed a strong leaning to romantic themes at the very beginning of his career. He was interested in folk songs as early as the 70's when he was still in Zamos'c; in Warsaw in the 90's in the midst of publishing his semi- revolutionary Yom Tov Bletlach he began to collect Jewish folk songs, and encouraged others to do the same. In 1877 he published a Hebrew poem (Kiddush Ha-Shem) which was essentially a versified folk tale. As for his Chasidic themes—two of his most profound stories of this kind (Mekubalim and Mishnas Chasidim) were both published in the mid 90's, in his sup- posedly "radical" period. Any difference between the various periods of Peretz's writing is one of stress; essentially it is the same in all periods. In some of his work, it is the social motif that is accentuated, in others it is the folk motif; some of his writings are more traditional, others modern. The same is true of his stylistic technique: in places it is recognizably realistic, in other places, romantic. The struggle for social justice and the vital values of the Jewish heritage were equally close to Peretz's heart. Peretz's intellectual and artistic personality was a complicated and even contradictory one, but the French paradox la plus ca change, la plus c'est la mime chose certainly applied to him. There is a saying in one of Peretz's stories which bears directly on him. In "Skoler Rebbetzin" (from the book Provintzreise) the widow of the rabbi of Skol repeats this saying in the name of her husband, who had been a Mitnagid, an opponent of the Chasidim. "When people came to him and complained about the Chasidim, he said: 'There are many kinds of armies, there are many kinds of weapons, there are various customs in the world, but we are all serving the same kingdom . . . the one kingdom.'" The kingdom that Peretz served with a variety of weapons was that of humanism, broadly and profoundly comprehended. He did not hesitate to humanize the very mysticism of Chasidism (as, for example, in his "Oyb Nisht Noch Hecher"). He believed, as a poet, in the identity of beauty and truth—and truth, in Yiddish as in a few other languages, is a synonym for charity and justice. The common man occupied so large a role in Peretz's works not only because he represented the downtrodden elements of society that Peretz aimed to ameliorate. But, like the sick boy in his story of that title, Peretz also longed for Jewish life to tower and thrust toward heaven, like a medieval cathedral—and dreamt that it would have "a golden roof and stained-glass windows." And what of man himself? Man requires wings (in one of Peretz's stories we read that after the Messiah arrives men will be born with wings). Man, and particularly the artist, must conquer the drab law of gravity, the rules of drab realism—and fly to heaven. 548 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Typically, Peretz's principal metaphor for dimension was that of unlimited height. Mendele Mocher Seforim helped Yiddish literature take root and draw its sustenance from the deep soil of Jewish life: with Sholem Aleichem the language and literature expanded (although in a work like Tevye der Milchiger the dimension of depth is involved again); and Peretz endowed Yiddish with lofty scope. Peretz reached the peak of his own artistry in the more successful of his Chasidic and folk tales. In the course of exalting the heroes of the Chasidic folk tales he elevated himself as well. His neo-Chasidism did not consist in his becoming "Chasidized"; it would be more accurate to state that he "Peretzized" Chasidism, as he did the Yiddish folk tales. The Chasid's faith, his pious ferver, the holiness of his rebbe, his ecstatic singing and dancing— Peretz translated these into the universal language of man's faith in his cre- ative potentialities, the ecstasy of human heroism, and the joy of dreaming (cf. the first act of his dramatic poem Di Goldene Kayt). Thomas Mann has observed that there is a natural human tendency to enjoy looking for and discovering contradictions in the life and work of every great writer. This is certainly true of Peretz, as well. Complementing his romantic fantasy, Peretz was the first to introduce intellectuality of a cer- tain kind into Yiddish literature. Though he formulated no specific ethical credo, Peretz resembled the old Yiddish morality writers. His art was often essentially one of ideas, perhaps because his personality was more ethical than esthetic. Perhaps that is why he so seldom depicted nature; his true paysage was human nature, ambivalent and contradictory in the same sense that Peretz himself was in his relation to the world in general and Jewish life in particular—although he did not view himself as either ambivalent or con- tradictory. Thus, for example, Peretz mocked the sort of Jewish nationalism that was a "German idol dressed in a prayer shawl." Simultaneously he advocated some form of Jewish nationalism, although he urged his fellow Jews "to learn from every man and to behave like the best among all the peoples." Peretz urged his contemporaries to "guard the old treasures . . . with the understanding that in guarding we fulfill and increase them." "The rigorous person (dogmatist—S.N.) is the true, the only slayer of God and religion." A living God, a living faith, is always in flux. But to be in flux does not mean to be rootless. (With what vexation and pain Peretz wrote: "Tragi-comic . . . an old greybeard must go to school to learn from children—the oldest of people from the youngest of literatures"!). Spiritually the most youthful of Jewish writers, he longed for "age" in Jewish literature. But this did not imply that Peretz was old-fashioned. There was nothing he feared more than to cease being young; during his last decade he began to experiment again, particularly with plays. Just before he died (he was sixty-three at the time) he began to write juvenile poems and stories. Warsaw was then teeming with thousands of Jewish families which the Tsarist regime had uprooted from their frontier homes at the beginning of World War I. Hundreds of children had lost their parents in the process—and Peretz was one of the first to attend to the needs of these abandoned children by setting up children's homes and institutions. And it was for these children that Peretz, then already sick in YITZCHAK LEYBUSH PERETZ 549 body and spirit, composed light verse and charming stories. Juvenile litera- ture was a completely new medium for him—but characteristically he was ready to undertake it, since it was in consonance with his new aims.

ERETZ'S death (of a heart attack on April 3, 1915) put an end to his career Pbut not to his influence. On the contrary it has continued to grow, and is still growing. Like Rabbi Nachman Bratzlaver, the Chasidic Zaddik a few of whose stories Peretz retold, he became even more of a master after his death. A crowd of 150,000, including representatives of every segment of the Warsaw Jewish population, accompanied Peretz to his last rest. In dozens of Jewish communities on both sides of the ocean funeral orations were delivered in his honor, and his anniversaries have since been celebrated almost as de- voutly as those of the great Chasidic masters. Before the Nazis invaded Poland the Polish Jewish school children used to pay annual visits to his grave—and adults as well. In 1941, when the Nazis had already concentrated Jews behind the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto the Jewish young people of the Warsaw Ghetto made their last pilgrimage to Peretz's grave. With yellow badges on their arms, hungry and wracked with pain, they stood before Peretz's tomb and read the inscription on the monument—a verse from Di Goldene Kayt:

We proud Jews, Sabbath Jews and holiday Jews . . .

And today throughout the world Jews proudly take solace in Peretz's work and the "proud Jews, Sabbath Jews and holiday Jews" he wrote of. There is a growing Peretz cult. Peretz has become a legend. S. NIGER
