After six interesting and satisfying years working with RIJHA authors and officers, I hand the baton over to the next runner. It has been a real mitzvah. Now my family and I have relocated to Amherst, Massachusetts, to begin a new chapter—never too old! A new chapter begins for the RIJHA too: I foresee a brilliant future, after a half-century of notable accomplishment, for our organization in its new quarters. Those new quarters will, I predict, bring formidable challenges and make possible unforeseen achievements as the Association starts its next fifty years. The history of Jewish Rhode Island has already revealed a glorious vitality beginning with its colonial birth; may it continue to attest to the same diversity, confidence, and strength! For the last time, I acknowledge the courtesy, good will, and practical help others have offered, especially Stan Abrams, George Goodwin, Anne Sherman, Edith Grant, Dick Dow, and the indefatigable (undefeatable) Aaron Cohen. I offer a special thanks to those authors who have contributed regularly to the Notes: without your research and writing, year in and year out, we would have no journal. As editor, my primary goal has been to make these writers look good. I have tried to go beyond copy editing (grammar, spelling, and other mechanical details) to make each article as clear, well organized, and intriguing as its author intended. If our readers have felt (as I do) that it is the writers rather than the editor who deserve all the credit, then I have succeeded. I can only wish that the next editor enjoys the same cooperation and dedication while engaged in our common enterprise —constructing the historical record of Jewish life in Rhode Island. Leonard Moss 9 Notes from the President In 2004 our Association will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes. This splendid milestone will coincide with the 350th anniversary of the Jewish arrival in North America and the 150th anniversary of Temple Beth-El, Providence’s oldest synagogue. In the fall of 2004, the Association will publish, in cooperation with University Press of New England and Brandeis University Press, The Jews of Rhode Island. This handsome, hardbound anthology will include sixteen outstanding articles previously published in our journal. Spanning the colonial era to recent decades, this volume will be the first comprehensive history of Rhode Island Jewry. It is intended for a broad readership, including Association members, students, teachers, scholars, genealogists, and history buffs. I am confident that the book will be a source of insight, pride, and joy for decades to come. The historians represented in the anthology include many of our journal’s most devoted authors such as Geraldine Foster, Dr. Seebert Goldowsky, and Eleanor Horvitz. There are essays by Brown professors and students, historians from several states, Jews and Gentiles alike. Rhode Island Jewish history is investigated from demographic, economic, educa­ tional, recreational, and religious perspectives. Still another perspective is autobiographical, with reminiscences by four Rhode Islanders (two of them beloved rabbis). The Jews of Rhode Island will include two original introductory essays, a detailed timeline, an extensive bibliography, and an index. There will be nearly 100 photographs, a great many never before published. These photos were selected from more than 10,000 belonging to our Association, other Rhode Island cultural institutions, local families, and businesses. Many of our readers will recognize their families and local scenes that no longer exist. Planning for the anthology began in the summer of 2002 with guidance by the Association’s publications committee. Its chairman, Stanley Abrams, has actively and enthusiastically participated with me in the project’s development. Dr. Phyllis Deutsch, executive editor of University Press of New England, has championed this book, as has Professor Jonathan Sama of Brandeis University. The Jews of Rhode Island will appear in his distinguished series of more than twenty-five volumes on American Jewish history. Dr. Ellen Smith, a former curator of the American Jewish Historical 10 Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes Society, has also played a key advisory role. Our anthology could not have been produced without the support of many friends and neighbors. The Association is grateful to the Dorot Foundation, the ADDD fund of the Rhode Island Foundation, and the endowment fund of Jewish Federation of Rhode Island for generous grants. Several of the Association’s board members and other communal leaders have kindly made leadership gifts. As readers will discover, The Jews of Rhode Island has not only been a scholarly endeavor but a labor of love. While paying tribute to all of the editors, writers, photographers, bibliographers, indexers, and proofreaders who have made the Notes significant, it sets a new standard for the next generation of historians. Thrilled and honored to be part of this 50th anniversary celebration, I have every reason to believe that you will be too. George M. Goodwin 11 Three Soviet

    RHODE ISLAND RIVERS COUNCIL HISTORICAL OUTLINE 1989-1990: Lieutenant Governor's Task Force on Rivers, Final Report & Recommendations, 58 pages, February, 1990. 1991-2000: Governor Bruce Sundlun inaugurated January 1, 1991. General Assembly created RI Rivers Council (RC) – RI General Law 46-28. Kenneth Payne became RC chair. Statewide Planning Program provides staff support to RC. RC concluded in 1992 that "more effective integration of existing programs and authority for rivers is needed." RC formulated draft classifications for rivers in 1993. RC held four workshops in northern, central, southern and eastern RI in 1994 to refine draft river classifications. Governor Lincoln Almond inaugurated January 1, 1995. Michael Cassidy, Planner for the City of Pawtucket, became RC chair. RC, working with the Divison of Planning, created digital maps of the state's watersheds. The State Planning Council adopted the RI Rivers Policy and Classification Plan, in January 1998, as State Guide Plan Element 162. RC established policies for recognizing local watershed councils in 1998. The Blackstone, Saugatucket and Wood-Pawcatuck were first river systems to have watershed councils designated by RC. Note: Designated watershed councils have certain legal authority and standing to represent their water bodies in state and local jurisdictions as well as be eligible for state grants via RC. 2001-2007: Meg Kerr became RC chair. General Assembly commences in 2001 providing annual legislative grants to RC from $22,000 to $52,000 range. Annual grant rounds commence from RC to designated local watershed councils generally in $2,500 to $7,500 range from Fiscal Year 2002 to the present.

INSTITUTION Rhode Island State Dept. of Education, Providence. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 41p.; For related document measuring Rhode Island schools, see TM 030 078. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; *Academic Standards; Annual Reports; *Elementary School Students; *Grade 4; Intermediate Grades; *Standards; State Programs; State Surveys; *Test Results; Testing Programs IDENTIFIERS *Rhode Island ABSTRACT This second annual report on public K-12 education in Rhode Island focuses on fourth graders, an age group that represents the most vulnerable portion of the school population. As the percentage of proficient fourth graders increases, the secondary schools will find it easier to raise their levels of proficiency. Rhode Island administers a School Accountability for Learning and Teaching (SALT) Survey to yield information about the key dimensions of school functioning. The SALT Survey consists of versions for elementary, middle, and high schools with different forms for parents, teachers, students, and administrators. This report presents information from the SALT survey and some additional sources to paint a portrait of what education actually looks like in Rhode Island's schools. Data are grouped into discussions of: responsive schools; student assessment; community support networks; and well-prepared, well-supported teachers. An analysis of information about Rhode Island schools suggests that three things are necessary to achieve 100t proficiency for all fourth graders:(1) taking care of the multiple needs that influence children's ability to perform in school; (2) giving teachers and students the opportunities they need to teach and learn commensurate with established standards; and (3) focusing first and foremost on reading.

  • Endowment Book of Life
    ,ntv harua “Plants bear witness to the reality of roots.” - Maimonides This Endowment Book of Life was created by the members of the Harry Greenstein Legacy Society, and we gratefully dedicate it to them — the visionary men and women who gave life to the ancient Jewish prayer: Help us remember the Jewish past we have inherited, and keep us ever mindful of the Jewish future which we must secure and enrich. Our community flourishes today and will grow in perpetuity because they planted the seeds of caring and nurtured its roots. In these pages, they share their hopes and ideals with future generations — the Jews of tomorrow who will be inspired to renew this precious legacy in years to come. 1 Lynn Abeshouse The Yom Kippur War was my very first memory as a little girl of both my parents calling upon our community to help our Jewish people in a time of great crisis. Through the years, my family’s involvement within the Jewish community, and at The Associated, consisted of various philanthropic leadership positions – my father, Dr. George Abeshouse, chaired the Doctors’ campaign division on many occasions, my mother, Sara Offit Abeshouse, chaired Top Gifts and other campaign leadership positions within the Women’s Division, and my uncle, Morris W. Offit, chaired numerous positions both nationally and internationally. These were just some of the examples that became an integral part of my life lessons. I learned that it is every Jewish person’s obligation to assist those less fortunate and to always try one’s best to prioritize this value in one’s life.

  • Jewish Fraternal Organizations of the Early 20Th Century Hal Bookbinder ([email protected])
    Jewish Fraternal Organizations of the early 20th Century Hal Bookbinder ([email protected]) Our ancestors created a wide variety of organizations to provide mutual support, from religious to social, educational, insurance and burial services. “Landsmanshaften” brought together individuals who came from the same town in Europe. Sometimes established as lodges of a fraternal organization, like the Independent Order, Sons of Jacob. These organizations paralleled existing American ones incorporating the pomp and secrecy of Masonry, Pythians and Odd Fellows. These organizations provided a safety net through life and health insurance and offered social opportunities to lead and to be recognized. Hundreds of thousands of our immigrant ancestors participated during the heyday of these organizations in the first half of the 20th century. Most were male-focused. Women participated through auxiliaries and occasionally fully independent orders. Understanding these organizations provides important insights into the lives of our immigrant ancestors. Over a score of major Jewish Fraternal Organizations were formed between 1840 and 1920, including American Star Order Independent Order Western Star Improved Order of B’nai B’rith (now, B'nai Independent Order, B’nai B’rith B'rith International) Independent Workmen’s Circle of America Independent Order Ahavas Israel Jewish National Workers’ Alliance of America Independent Order B’rith Abraham Kesher Shel Barzel Independent Order B’rith Sholom Order of B’rith Abraham Independent Order Free Sons of Israel Order of the Sons of Zion (now, “B’nai Zion”) Independent Order of American Israelites Order of the United Hebrew Brothers Independent Order of Free Sons of Judah Progressive Order of the West Independent Order of Sons of Abraham United Order of the True Sisters, Inc.
