Whereas in some cases it is difficult to find enough material, the difficulty here is I to make a selection of the overwhelming amount of material that is available. It is rather a long period and a period crowded with events of immense importance both in our own Anglo-Jewish sphere and in the larger world outside. I am, naturally, not going to try to cover the ground in any detail. I am going to try and give you a few impressions of tendencies rather than events, and I shall have to speak in general terms or I should be keeping you here all night. Finally, let me make it clear, by way of preface, that anything I may have to say in no way commits the Anglo-Jewish Association. These are just a few personal impressions. I had better try and divide the subject under four main headings: (i) the relations, during the 1940-1950 period, between British Jews and their fellow-citizens; (ii) the domestic affairs of Anglo-Jewry; (iii) the impact of Israel; and (iv) the place of the Anglo-Jewish community in the Jewish world. First of all, about the development, during this period, of the relations between British Jews and their fellow-citizens. In the years preceding the War, a violent anti-Jewish campaign had been carried on by the Fascists. The Fascists, at that time, were aggressive and causing a certain amount of trouble. When the War came, British Jews felt that they had seen the last of this nuisance. The Fascists were bound up ideologically with all the things Britain was fighting against and were now un- masked. Again in 1939, just on the eve of the War, there had been the 1939 * The address here reproduced was delivered last April. When it was suggested to me that it should be published in the Anglo-Jewish Association Year Book, I had some hesitation in agreeing, not only because I was conscious of its shortcomings, but also because it had already become in some respects a little out of date. I might not have expressed myself on all points in exactly the same way if I had been speaking six months later. I hope that this will be borne in mind. This applies, in particular, to some of the passages dealing with the relations between the State of Israel and Jews, or Jewish communities, in other parts of the world. On this subject the views of the Government of Israel have since been authoritatively expressed by Mr. Ben Gurion in his widely reported speech in Jerusalem on August 23. This important statement has done much to clear the air and to dispel misunderstanding created by loose talk and confused thinking in less responsible quarters. 8.

  • The Debate Over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue
    Jack Wertheimer (ed.) The American Synagogue: A Sanctuary Transformed. New York: Cambridge 13 University Press, 1987 The Debate over Mixed Seating in the American Synagogue JONATHAN D. SARNA "Pues have never yet found an historian," John M. Neale com­ plained, when he undertook to survey the subject of church seating for the Cambridge Camden Society in 1842. 1 To a large extent, the same situation prevails today in connection with "pues" in the American syn­ agogue. Although it is common knowledge that American synagogue seating patterns have changed greatly over time - sometimes following acrimonious, even violent disputes - the subject as a whole remains unstudied, seemingly too arcane for historians to bother with. 2 Seating patterns, however, actually reflect down-to-earth social realities, and are richly deserving of study. Behind wearisome debates over how sanctuary seats should be arranged and allocated lie fundamental disagreements over the kinds of social and religious values that the synagogue should project and the relationship between the synagogue and the larger society that surrounds it. As we shall see, where people sit reveals much about what they believe. The necessarily limited study of seating patterns that follows focuses only on the most important and controversial seating innovation in the American synagogue: mixed (family) seating. Other innovations - seats that no longer face east, 3 pulpits moved from center to front, 4 free (un­ assigned) seating, closed-off pew ends, and the like - require separate treatment. As we shall see, mixed seating is a ramified and multifaceted issue that clearly reflects the impact of American values on synagogue life, for it pits family unity, sexual equality, and modernity against the accepted Jewish legal (halachic) practice of sexual separatiop in prayer.

  • A Synagogue for All Families: Interfaith Inclusion in Conservative Synagogues
    A Synagogue for All Families Interfaith Inclusion in Conservative Synagogues Introduction Across North America, Conservative kehillot (synagogues) create programs, policies, and welcoming statements to be inclusive of interfaith families and to model what it means for 21st century synagogues to serve 21 century families. While much work remains, many professionals and lay leaders in Conservative synagogues are leading the charge to ensure that their community reflects the prophet Isaiah’s vision that God’s house “shall be a house of prayer for all people” (56:7). In order to share these congregational exemplars with other leaders who want to raise the bar for inclusion of interfaith families in Conservative Judaism, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) and InterfaithFamily (IFF) collaborated to create this Interfaith Inclusion Resource for Conservative Synagogues. This is not an exhaustive list, but a starting point. This document highlights 10 examples where Conservative synagogues of varying sizes and locations model inclusivity in marketing, governance, pastoral counseling and other key areas of congregational life. Our hope is that all congregations will be inspired to think as creatively as possible to embrace congregants where they are, and encourage meaningful engagement in the synagogue and the Jewish community. We are optimistic that this may help some synagogues that have not yet begun the essential work of the inclusion of interfaith families to find a starting point that works for them. Different synagogues may be in different places along the spectrum of welcoming and inclusion. Likewise, the examples presented here reflect a spectrum, from beginning steps to deeper levels of commitment, and may evolve as synagogues continue to engage their congregants in interfaith families.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

OFThrough THE the DECISION-MAKING Sustainable Synagogues CULTUREBusiness Models project, facilitated by Measuring Success from 2009 to 2012, UJA-Federation learned that thriving synagogues regularly assess and make decisions based on the extent to which their communal vision, mission, and values are aligned with all aspects of synagogue life. We also learned that it matters which systems synagogues SELF-ASSESSMENTuse to collect data. In order TOOL to help synagogues assess which system might meet their particular needs, UJA-Federation funded the development of “A Guide to Synagogue Management Systems: Research and Recommendations,” and more recently a 2014 update, in collaboration with the Orthodox Union (OU), THEUnion DATA for ReformMATURITY Judaism PROGRESSION (URJ), and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ). Furthermore, we have also learned through observations in the field that synagogues are not simply “data-driven or not data-driven.” Rather, there is a broad spectrum of data maturity, beginning with simple data collection and moving along the spectrum in complexity to reflect more sophisticated SUPPORTINGuses of data. THE JEWISH IDENTITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE COMMUNITY This paper reflects UJA-Federation's commitment to identifying and sharing innovations and strategies METHODOLOGYthat can support synagogues on their journeys to become thriving congregations.

The Irreconcilability of Judaism and Modern Biblical Scholarship James L. Kugel Thanks to the work of scholars of the Hebrew Bible over the last two centuries or so, we now know a great deal about how and when various biblical texts were composed and assembled; in fact, this has been the focus of much of modern biblical scholarship. One thing has become clear as a result. Our biblical texts are actually the product of multiple acts of rewriting. All our canonical books have been found to be, in some degree, the result of editorial expansion, rearrangement, and redaction introduced by various anonymous ancient scholars. This raises an important question about those ancient scholars. To put it bluntly: How dare they? If you, an ancient Israelite, believe that Scripture

At the 1950 general election eighty-four per cent of the electorate voted and of this number ninety-seven per cent chose one or other of the two parties who claimed to have a combined total of three million members. At this point Labour and the Conservatives appeared to hold a secure place in the people’s affections: as the political scientist Robert McKenzie concluded in 1955, they were ‘two great monolithic structures’ deeply embedded in society.2 More broadly, leading social scientists believed – encouraged by many Britons’ effusive reaction to the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 – that the rulers and ruled enjoyed a ‘moral unity’.3 Most contemporaries also considered that the collectivist policies introduced by the 1945 Attlee government had solved Britain’s interwar economic problems.

Soon after the Resettlement of 1656, Ashkenazi Jews came into Britain from Holland and Germany. In 1690 they founded the Great Synagogue in Duke’s Place. The Hambro’ followed at Fenchurch Street in 1702. In 1762 the New Synagogue was opened at Leadenhall Street. To meet the westward movement of the community, the Central Synagogue was founded at Great Portland Street in 1855 and the Bayswater Synagogue at Chichester Place in 1863. There was already a great deal of cooperation between the five synagogues. During Succot 1866, Chief Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler suggested a merger to strengthen London Jewry and provide for its future. Negotiations between the communities and with the Charity Commissioners took some years but finally the scheme was approved. The Act received Royal Assent on 14th July 1870.
