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.

  • Fundacja Shalom WARSZAWA SINGERA XI FESTIWAL KULTURY ŻYDOWSKIEJ 23 – 31 Sierpnia 2014
    Fundacja Shalom WARSZAWA SINGERA XI FESTIWAL KULTURY ŻYDOWSKIEJ 23 – 31 sierpnia 2014 Organizatorzy zastrzegają sobie prawo do zmian w programie Szanowni Państwo, Drodzy Przyjaciele, od dziesięciu lat towarzyszycie kolejnym warszawskim edycjom naszego Festiwalu. Nazwaliśmy go „Warszawa Singera“ w przekonaniu, że to właśnie w twórczości jego patrona najlepiej wyraził się duch przedwojennej żydowskiej Warszawy i jej języka – jidysz. Nikt tak jak Icchok Baszewis Singer nie opisał zaułków Muranowa, Grzybowa i Starego Miasta, tamtejszych bożnic, sklepów i domów nauki, chasydów i litwaków, uczonych i kupców, bogaczy, biedaków i złodziei. Jeżeli warszawscy Żydzi mieli swojego barda, który ich unieśmiertelni i rozsławił na całym świecie, był nim właśnie autor „Rodziny Muszkatów”, „Spinozy z ulicy Rynkowej” i „Urzędu mojego ojca”. Jeżeli Icchok Baszewis Singer otrzymał literacką Nagrodę Nobla, dostał ja dzięki Warszawie. Ale Singer to nie tylko Warszawa, a Warszawa to nie cały żydowski świat. Patron naszego Festiwalu przyszedł na świat w Leoncinie na Mazowszu. Najwcześniejsze lata spędził w chasydzkim Radzyminie pod Warszawa, młodość – w stolicy, u ojca na sławnej ulicy Krochmalnej, oraz w Biłgoraju na Lubelszczyźnie, w rodzinnym domu Baszewy, ukochanej matki. To na jej część stał się Baszewisem. Opuściwszy Polskę na zawsze w 1935 roku, wyjechał do Nowego Jorku, gdzie mieszkał ponad pół wieku. I tak, bez Radzymina nie byłoby Dworu, bez podroży na Lubelszczyznę – debiutanckiego Szatana w Goraju i pisanego już po wojnie Sztukmistrza z Lublina, ulubionej książki wielu miłośników jego talentu. Z kolei bez Nowego Jorku nie powstałyby Cienie nad rzeka Hudson – przejmujący portret żydowskich emigrantów w Nowym Świecie, których wciąż nawiedzają widziadła Zagłady. Dlatego w tym roku wychodzimy poza warszawskie opłotki.

How do we create a place where people November 21 can relate to each other, to the greater Jewish community, to Is- Vayetze rael, to Torah, and to God? Here is a selection from that sermon: November 28 A synagogue is a Beit Tefilah – literally a “House of Prayer.” Vayishlach Jews want to talk to God, to relate to God. I am well aware that many Jews who come to synagogue do not come to talk to God.

    YOUNG ISRAEL BETH EL OF BOROUGH PARK 30TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER November 4, 2018 In the YIBE Social Hall CELEBRATING OUR PAST – CHARTING THE FUTURE 2 Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park 30th Anniversary Dinner November 4, 2018 3 Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park 30th Anniversary Dinner November 4, 2018 4 FROM THE DINNER CHAIR On the 13 day of Kislev, 5750, December 10, 1989, I attended my first annual dinner at Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park. It was a month since my arrival in the US and it just happened to be the first dinner since the merger between Young Israel and Beth El. Twenty-nine years later I was appointed as the Dinner Chairman. It is truly an honor and a privilege, but also a responsibility to make the event successful. It has been a few years since our last Shul Dinner. For years, Mr. Martin Fruchter A”H and Mr. Karl Weisstuch A"H organized the annual dinners very successfully. I am humbled to follow in their footsteps. I hope that the renewal of the dinner campaign will restart this important and essential function as it is a main fundraiser for our Shul. It will help us continue our beautiful services and inspired Torah classes, provided by tonight’s guests of Honor, Rabbi Moshe and Rebbetzin Snow, and Chazzan and Mrs. Benzion Miller. Ours is a true Bait Mikdash Kattan, one that will celebrate 100 years in 2020. I hope that by that time we and our Shul will all be transplanted in Yerushalayim with the coming of Moshiach, In the meantime, let’s turn Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park into the Great במהרה בימנו Synagogue of Brooklyn.
