We flew through summer, now we are almost out of Fall. Where did the time go? We are in the season for being thankful for what we have, thankful for our health, thankful for our family and friends. Now it’s time for giving back to the people we love, give to the homeless, the needy and the people who just need a helping hand. At the time of this writing I just attended the Los Angeles Archdiocese Bishop Day. In Most Reverend Joseph Brennan’s homily he spoke about giving, how we always give away the used items we no longer want any more or give can goods that we don’t like, but, • Newly initiated members of Br. 179 St. Dorothy. he said we should give things away that we really want and things we like give Andy Pappani initiated the 37 charter n Sunday, November 12, 2017, the away.

A crucial piece of this vision has been to make more visible to an international audience the rich research collections concerning Jews in the vari- ous archives and libraries on the Austin campus. We have prepared this guide to promote the use of these resources by both students and scholars based not only in Austin, but also elsewhere in the United States and around the world. Someone not familiar with the University of Texas may find astonishing the depth, breadth, and importance of these materials. Available for research are resources like the papers of Jewish writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer, Arthur Miller, and Nor- man Mailer, local history collections of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, exten- ROBERT H.
