  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction Forty Years with the Jews of Harlem— the Old and the Renewed In the spring of 2002, David Dunlap, architecture columnist for the New York Times, came to my office to discuss an article he was com- posing about a lost and forgotten Jewish community. The subject of his investigation was Harlem. I was taken aback by the idea that a New York Jewish settlement that once had housed close to 175,000 Jews was not remembered. After all, I had written my first book, When Harlem Was Jewish, 1870– 1930, in 1978. And for more than the next quarter century, I had reminded everyone who would hear me out— fellow academicians and the general public alike— how important the com- munity had been in the history of Gotham. I argued everywhere that the saga of immigrant Jewish life and advancement in the metropolis during the early decades of the prior century was incomplete without considering Harlem. One of the prime intellectual conceits was that a complex set of forces motivated Jewish relocation from one area of the city to the next and greatly influenced the types of group identifica- tions that were maintained. Prior historians had not been sensitive to the reality that downtown—that is, the Lower East Side—and uptown alike were home, at least after 1900, to both poor and more affluent Jews. Previous scholars also had not discussed how these two sibling communities likewise included both acculturated Jews and those who were just starting to learn American ways. Indeed, the fact was that more immigrants and their children moved to Harlem, or were pushed out of the so-called “ghetto,” before they achieved financial success than as a sign that they had begun to make it in America.

No one was injured. DOI began its investigation after it was notified by NYCHA about allegations that a NYCHA employee may be involved in a mattress fire that occurred on September 8, 2010, at the Manhattanville Houses. The Office of New York County District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., is prosecuting the case. DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said, “The charges in this case are alarming: the fire set in a residential apartment building by a City employee, as charged, could have ended in tragedy but for the quick response of firefighters.

    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
