What "Catskillphile" could resist the blandishments of Sal's bazaar. Yiddish music poured from the phonograph and many of us were immediately wrapped in a veil of nostalgia. We were sitting ducks. With the exception of part of Friday night when it rained, the entrance to the Main House at Sunny Oaks Hotel, our conference headquarters, was flanked with temptations. All the records filling the air were for sale, as were books and memorabilia. Judaica-collector-and-peddler- extraordinaire Salo Kluger offered some amazingly up to date merchandize and a vast array of older books. There were books on the old neighborhoods, books on entertainers, books on the remotely Jewish. Who could resist. Few of us even tried. We all needed more books and more records. To say nothing about a business card from a hotel in Ulster Heights where one's brother played in a band in 1948. Phil Brown got first dibs on the memorabilia, collecting choice menus and business cards for the Catskill Institute Collection. Where but at Sal's would an Aaron Lebedeff record stare at you; the one featuring "In Odess[a]" which was never the hit that his signature nostalgia song "Romania" was. But one simply also had to listen to the Yinglish "A Yiddish Maidel Darf a Yiddish Boy." Festivities officially began at six with a welcoming "happy hour" where we nibbled, drank and met up with people we hadn't seen since the last conference. After a very non-traditional Shabbat Dinner our program rolled into action. Phil Brown and Shalom Goldman officially welcomed us and brought us up to date on Institute happenings. Then we were ready for the evening's star turn, a dramatic reading of Phil's short story "Return to the Mountains" performed by the eclectic and never-to-be-ready-for-prime-time "Sunny Oaks Troubadors" a pick up crew that included Phil's son, Michael, as a busboy (He has worked as a busboy, Phil noted quickly adding, "On the Cape, not the Catskills." With too many of us going to the Cape and the Hamptons the Catskills declined.). Deborah Dash Moore even appeared in costume. M. Susan Richman neglected to bring her tiara to add a touch of verisimilitude to her role as a hotel guest in the "Golden Age." Other performers included Phil, Irwin Richman, Deborah Dash Moore and Jerry Schwartz. A mysterious hackie picks up an odd assortment of 1990's characters and takes them to work at the Brigadoon-like "Greenstein's Meadow View Hotel," where they share mysterious and life altering experiences. Daniel Goldman once again ran the Ping Pong Tournament. The prize was a 10% discount on the winner's hotel bill, courtesy of the Arenson family. Saturday's program began with a talk "Musicians in the Catskills" presented with great wit and charm by Henry Foner whose family, including the well-known scholar Philip Foner played in Catskill bands and were active in many left wing causes of the 1930's. While working at the Arrowhead Lodge in Ellenville in 1941, Foner wrote the song "Shoot the Strudel to me, Yudel!" Lorraine Foner, Henry's wife of almost fifty years was in the audience, and this Saturday (August 31) was the 50th anniversary of their meeting—in the Catskills, naturally—and they got a big mazel tov. After the now traditional cold borscht lunch, Irwin Richman from Penn State Harrisburg presented "A Bungalow Colony Slide Show" which briefly traced the growth of the resort industry of the Catskills from the visions of Hudson River school artists including Thomas Cole and Fredrick Church. Then using the imagery of other artists and photographers he explored the conditions of the new Jewish immigration which led to the growth of "The Jewish Alps." Turning to the story of the bungalow colonies he showed many images that will not be appearing in his forthcoming book, Borscht Belt Bungalows: Memories of Catskill Summers to be published in January 1998 by Temple University Press. Irwin's wife, Susan, perked up when he showed a slide of a group of day camp counselors, identifying a long past summer romance. His mother Bertha was especially interested in the next session "Hotel Owners Keeping Alive the Mountains" because as a relative kid herself (81 years old), she is a long-time acquaintance of Carrie Komito who at 92 still runs the Aladdin Hotel in Woodbourne which Carrie saved by adding many bungalows to her operation. Carrie Komito is the model for Mrs. Mandheimer in her son-in-law Sidney Offit's novel He Had It Made, (1959). Ellen Halbert of the Raleigh Hotel talked about the problems of getting people to put aside their negative stereotypes about the Catskills and to get them to come to her hotel, which, she believes, offers a lot of value for the money. "Three meals a day and facilities starting at $60 a day." A daughter of the owner of the Raleigh, she is a dynamic businesswoman, mother of a young daughter and wife of the man who 2 now runs the kitchen of the family's resort. Both the Aladdin and the Raleigh are among the very few Catskill hotels that are current on their taxes. After a cocktail party and a dinner that offered guests gefilte fish, brisket, and kasha, we enjoyed a reading and commentary by author Vivian Gornick, who spent childhood summers in bungalows and college summers working at hotels. In Fierce Attachments, a memoir, she recalls stories her mother told her about life at a leftist kuchalein in the 1930's. Most intriguing was her account of traveling spiritualists who visited kuchaleins and who profited by entertaining or terrifying the guests. She also read from "The Catskills Remembered," an essay in her collection Approaching Eye Level (1996), which recall with irony, insight and flashes of anger her summers working at various hotels, most notably at a hotel she later identified as being Grossinger's. After Ms. Gornick's session we were treated to a concert by two fine young classically trained musicians, Amy and Jonathan, friends of the Arenson family. Following this unannounced delight, the hardiest among us watched the best Catskill film to date Sweet Lorraine. Sunday morning, building on his triumphal reading at last year's conference of Isaac Bashevis Singer's "The Yearning Heifer," Shalom Goldman now of Emory University, presented an insightful paper "Isaac Bashevis Singer in the Catskills: A Literary and Personal Turning Point" in which he noted that within mere miles from where we were meeting, Singer would meet his future wife (then inconveniently married to another man) and here too he would decide to write about the American themes that introduced him to the larger world. While Singer in his later years, carefully cultivated the image of the sweet old man, those who knew him, knew him to be a SOB. Next, Jenna Weissman Joselit, a very insightful author of many books on American Jewish culture including The Wonders of America: Reinventing Jewish Culture, 1880-1950 (1994) discussed the Jewish attitude toward vacations (positive, even among those of the pre-War European Jewry who could afford them) and rabbinical and conservative organizational American commentators who deplored the fact that the ever more popular vacations caused synagogue attendance to drop during the summer. Other observers worried about the vulgar images vacationing Jews might present to the non-Jewish World. After lunch we watched two films on the same subject "A Single Weekend at the Concord." In an eerie coincidence both featured the same bizarre dentist who was looking for "a woman with perfect teeth" among the interviewees the film makers and reporters followed. Clarence Steinberg, co-author (with Abraham Lavender) of Jewish Farmers of the Catskills talked about the lives of Jewish farmers, successful Jewish-organized co-ops, and Jewish farmers' problems with government farm programs. Steinberg who grew up on his parent's farm in the Catskills has just retired as a Public Affairs Specialist with the Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. The next day there was a very nice account of his talk in the Middletown Times Herald Record complete with a fine picture. Next, we watched the film The Rise and Fall of the Borscht with its marvelous mix of interviews with hotel keepers, Catskill comics, and bungalow guests, and ending in the performance of a "mock marriage," once the quintessential Borscht Belt entertainment.

Towards A Boundless Ethic Henry Spira “In their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.” -- Isaac Bashevis Singer Today we have particularly good reason to be concerned with the violence humans inflict on humans. But should those of us who care about the violence inflicted on men, women and children care about the violence inflicted on animals? In my own mind, the need for a consistent ethic of nonviolence for both human and non-human animals is obvious•-one is an extension of the other. When thinking of violence to animals many people may just conjure up a gun-toting trophy hunter or a sadistic psychopath torturing a dog. Yet to limit one's vision to these dramatic but occasional acts of violence is to miss the point. The real, massive violence is part of the structure of our culture-animals are considered lab tools and edibles.

  • Liberté, Égalité, Animalité: Human–Animal Comparisons In
    Transnational Environmental Law, Page 1 of 29 © 2016 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S204710251500031X SYMPOSIUM ARTICLE Liberté, Égalité, Animalité: † Human–Animal Comparisons in Law Anne Peters* Abstract This article problematizes the discrepancy between the wealth of international law serving human needs and rights and the international regulatory deficit concerning animal welfare and animal rights. It suggests that, in the face of scientific evidence, the legal human–animal boundary (as manifest notably in the denial of rights to animals) needs to be properly justified. Unmasking the (to some extent) ‘imagined’ nature of the human–animal boundary, and shedding light on the persistence of human–animal comparisons for pernicious and beneficial purposes of the law, can offer inspirations for legal reform in the field of animal welfare and even animal rights. Keywords Animal rights, Human rights, Animal welfare, Speciesism, Discrimination, Cultural imperialism 1. introduction: civilized humans against all others Between 1879 and 1935, the Basel Zoo in Switzerland entertained the public with Völkerschauen,or‘people’s shows’, in which non-European human beings were displayed wearing traditional dress, in front of makeshift huts, performing handcrafts.1 These shows attracted more visitors at the time than the animals in the zoo. The organizers of these Völkerschauen were typically animal dealers and zoo directors, and the humans exhibited were often recruited from Sudan, a region where most of the African zoo and circus animals were also being trapped. The organizers made sure that the individuals on display did not speak any European language, so that verbal communication between them and the zoo visitors was impossible.

  • Recommended Reading About Animal Issues
    Recommended Reading about Animal Issues Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights by Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, North Carolina State University in Raleigh Described as the best introduction to animal rights ever written, this book dispels the image of animal rights advocates perpetrated by the media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of humane treatment favored by animal exploiters, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty. Regan, a leading philosopher in the animal rights movement, intends the book as a popular companion to his scholarly treatments of the subject. Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation by Gary L. Francione, Professor of Law. Rutgers University Law School A prominent philosopher of animal rights law and ethical theory, Francione is known for his criticism of animal welfare laws, his abolitionist theory of animal rights, and his promotion of veganism and nonviolence as the baseline principles of the abolitionist movement. In this collection, Francione advances the most radical theory of animal rights to date. Unlike Peter Singer, Francione maintains that we cannot morally justify using animals under any circumstances. Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully One of the best books ever written on the subject of animal welfare. Scully, a journalist and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. investigated several major animal industries, including hunting, whaling, and factory farming. He asks penetrating questions and shows the logical and political inconsistencies used to defend cruel industries. The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World by John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America What can we do to help stop global warming, feed the hungry, prevent cruelty to animals, be healthier, and live longer? Eat vegetarian, says Robbins.

  • “Why the Geese Shrieked” Isaac Bashevis Singer's
    “WHY THE GEESE SHRIEKED” ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER’S WORK BETWEEN MYSTICISM AND SCEPTICISM Khayke Beruriah Wiegand ABSTRACT: In a chapter of his memoirs, the acclaimed Yiddish writer Isaac Bashevis Singer grants his readers some insight into the life of his father’s rabbinic household in Warsaw – a household full of contrasts and tensions between his parents’ conflicting personalities, between Hasidic and Mitnagdic tendencies and between mysticism and scepticism. Both his father’s mysticism and his mother’s scepticism were formative influences on Bashevis, and his writing constantly vacillates between these two world-views. Bashevis is well-known for his short stories about demons, dybbuks and other supernatural phenomena, but it is interesting to note that at times his demons clearly seem to be external manifestations of internal, psychological states of being, whereas at other times no rational explanation for an apparent supernatural phenomenon can be found. Bashevis’s narrators and protagonists constantly question God and express their scepticism about traditional Jewish beliefs, while, on the other hand, they are deeply influenced by Jewish mystical ideas. The conflict between rationalism and mysticism, between modern philosophy and Jewish religious beliefs, especially Kabbalistic ideas, never gets resolved in Bashevis’s works, but this continuous tension is exactly what makes Bashevis such a great writer! In My Father’s Court), entitled) מײַ ן טאַטנס בית-דין שטוב In the second chapter of his memoirs Why the Geese Shrieked”), the acclaimed Yiddish writer Isaac“) ”פאַרװאָס די גענדז האָבן געשריגן“ Bashevis Singer (1904 – 1991) grants his readers some significant insight into the life of his father’s rabbinic household on Krokhmalne-gas (ulica Krochmalna) in Warsaw, a household full of contrasts and tensions between his parents’ conflicting personalities, between Hasidic and Mitnagdic tendencies and between mysticism and scepticism.1 Bashevis’s father, Rabbi Pinkhes-Mendl Zinger, was descended from an illustrious line of rabbis, scholars and Kabbalists.
