    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B.

  • American Jewish History a Qijilrteriy P11bllcatlon of the Amerloan J.Ewlsh Hlstorloal Society
    American Jewish History A QIJilrteriY P11bllcatlon of the Amerloan J.ewlsh Hlstorloal SOciety Two Jewish Lawyers Named Lollis* JONATHAN D. SARNA The year r856 was a vintage year for brilliant Jewish lawyers named Louis. On November 13, r8s6, Louis Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky. One month later, on December 14, r856, Louis Marshall was born in Syracuse, New York. Louis and Louis were both first-generation Americans, born of central European Jewish parents. They both compiled stellar academic records. They both went on to have a profound affect on American law. Both were considered for seats on the U.S. Supreme Court, although only one of them made it.' And both became eminent leaders in American Jewish life. Yet while both men earned enormous respect within the Jewish and general communities, they never became friends and rarely worked to­ gether. They differed religiously, philosophically, and politically. They approached Judaism, America, and even the law itself from sharply different perspectives. The parents of Louis Brandeis and Louis Marshall arrived in America at approximately the same time in the middle of the nineteenth century.' Brandeis' parents hailed from Prague, Marshall's father from Baden and his mother from Wiimemberg. The two fathers had experienced prejudice and privation in central Europe that precipitated their emigration. Adolph Brandeis, who grew up in an urban area and studied at the Technical ,. An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the 1006 B. G. Rudolph Lecture in Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, commemorating the rsorh anniversary of the birth of Louis Marshall. I am grateful to Syracuse University for permitting me to publish the lecture here.

  • RECONSTRUCTIONISM in AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE by CHARLES S
    RECONSTRUCTIONISM IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN NATURE OF RECONSTRUCTIONISM • ITS HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS • ITS CONSTITUENCY • AS IDEOLOGY OF AMERICAN JUDAISM • FOLK AND ELITE RELIGION IN AMERICAN JUDAISM INTRODUCTION JLHE RECONSTRUCTIONIST MOVEMENT deserves more serious and systematic study than it has been given. It has recently laid claim to the status of denomination, the fourth in American Judaism, along with Orthodoxy, Conservatism, and Reform. Its founder, Mordecai M. Kaplan, probably is the most creative Jewish thinker to concern himself with a program for American Judaism. He is one of the few intellectuals in Jewish life who have given serious consideration to Jewish tradition, American philosophical thought, and the experiences of the American Jew, and confronted each with the other. Reconstructionism is the only religious party in Jewish life whose origins are entirely American and whose leading personalities view Judaism from the perspective of the exclusively American Jewish experience. The Reconstructionist has been Note. This study would not have been possible without the cooperation of many Reconstructionists, friends of Reconstructionism, and former Reconstructionists. All consented to lengthy interviews, and I am most grateful to them. I am espe- cially indebted to Rabbi Ira Eisenstein, president of the Reconstructionist Founda- tion, who consented to seven interviews and innumerable telephone conversations, supplied me with all the information and material I requested, tolerated me through the many additional hours I spent searching for material in his office, and responded critically to an earlier version of this study. Rabbi Jack Cohen read the same version. He, too, pointed to several statements which, in his view, were unfair to Reconstructionism.

  • Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism As Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959
    ETHNICITY AND FAITH IN AMERICAN JUDAISM: RECONSTRUCTIONISM AS IDEOLOGY AND INSTITUTION, 1935-1959 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Deborah Waxman May, 2010 Examining Committee Members: Lila Corwin Berman, Advisory Chair, History David Harrington Watt, History Rebecca Trachtenberg Alpert, Religion Deborah Dash Moore, External Member, University of Michigan ii ABSTRACT Title: Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism as Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959 Candidate's Name: Deborah Waxman Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2010 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Lila Corwin Berman This dissertation addresses the development of the movement of Reconstructionist Judaism in the period between 1935 and 1959 through an examination of ideological writings and institution-building efforts. It focuses on Reconstructionist rhetorical strategies, their efforts to establish a liberal basis of religious authority, and theories of cultural production. It argues that Reconstructionist ideologues helped to create a concept of ethnicity for Jews and non-Jews alike that was distinct both from earlier ―racial‖ constructions or strictly religious understandings of modern Jewish identity. iii DEDICATION To Christina, who loves being Jewish, With gratitude and abundant love iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of ten years of doctoral studies, so I type these words of grateful acknowledgment with a combination of astonishment and excitement that I have reached this point. I have been inspired by extraordinary teachers throughout my studies. As an undergraduate at Columbia, Randall Balmer introduced me to the study of American religious history and Holland Hendrix encouraged me to take seriously the prospect of graduate studies.

DIED SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 The American Jewish Year Book 5682 October 3, 1921, to September 22, 1922 Volume 23 Edited bv HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1921 Uewish C. P< EIS4- At COPYRIGHT, 1921, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA NEWYORKUNIVERSITY WASHi^TON SQUARE LIBRARY CT CL tT w 1 RT PEEFACE The past year has witnessed no marked change in the life of the Jewish people. There has merely been a development according to tendencies resulting" from pre-war conditions and the events of the past seven years. In the chronology for 5681, although we have again reports of numerous acts of humiliation and violence committed against our brethren in Eastern Europe and Hungary, yet many hopeful signs of returning order, sanity and humanity are already visible, and there are indications that with the return of normal economic con- ditions and political stability the situation of the Jews in this region will greatly improve. In the meantime, the Jewry of the United States has become the new center of gravity of the Jewish people. If we may disregard several misguided, though dangerous, movements to transplant anti-Semitism on Ameri- can soil—movements which have met with failure thanks to the courage and clear vision of leaders of thought and opinion, and the spirit of justice and fairness which characterizes the American people—we may say that the Jews of the United States have been most favored of Providence in being spared all of the many evils and sorrows visited upon the Jews of Eastern Europe.

Connie is a scholar in her own right, she received her Ph.D. at New York University, we were doctoral students together under Cyrus’s tutelage, and has published a few articles. An important one that I cite all the time in Abr‐Nahrain, sometime 1 in the 80’s I think,1 based on her dissertation on the formation of plural nouns in Hebrew, so I commend her work to you as well, and I thought we’d begin just by quickly introducing ourselves to Professor Gordon, many of you know him through past contacts, and if we just go around the room real quickly, and say a word.

  • Max Leopold Margolis
    MAX LEOPOLD MARGOLIS 1866-1932 MAX LEOPOLD MARGOLIS* A Sketch by CYRUS ADLER MAX LEOPOLD MARGOLIS, scholar, teacher and author was born in Meretz, Government of Vilna, Russia, on October 15, 1866, the son of Isaac Margolis and Hinde Bernstein. He was a descendant of a family of rabbis and scholars, among whom the most notable was Rabbi Lipmann Halevi Heller. His own father, Rabbi Isaac Margolis, was a scholar of distinction and besides publishing two considerable learned volumes left several Hebrew manuscripts of merit. His father, although largely devoted to rabbinical studies, nevertheless had a knowledge of Latin, Greek, mathematics and science, and it was from him that Max Margolis received his earliest instruction. He was sent to Heder at the age of five but left that school and continued his instruction under his father, whilst general subjects were taught to him by the Priest of the Orthodox Church of his village. By the time he was eleven years of age he was an expert scribe and reader of the Torah and in general showed remarkable brilliance. He was a rather jolly youth, inclined to be an athlete and even to a little mischief. He swam well, skated in the winter, was a good oarsman and, during his California days, an expert fisherman. After he was thirteen he decided to run away from home in order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge elsewhere, but he returned after staying in Berlin for a short time, and again his father took up his instruction and even taught him trigonometry and logarithms in Hebrew.

Manufactured in the United States of America Designed by G&H SOHO, Inc. CONTENTS Preface . vii Subject Index . 1 Author Index . 193 Book Reviews . 303 v PREFACE The goal of this cumulative index is two-fold. It is to serve as an historical reference to the conventions of the Rabbinical Assembly and to the statements, thoughts, and dreams of the leaders of the Conser- vative movement. It is also to provide newer members of the Rabbinical Assembly, and all readers, with insights into questions, problems, and situations today that are often reminiscent of or have a basis in the past. The entries are arranged chronologically within each author’s listing. The authors are arranged alphabetically. I’ve tried to incorporate as many individuals who spoke on a subject as possible, as well as included prefaces, content notes, and appendices. Indices generally do not contain page references to these entries, and I readily admit that it isn’t the professional form. However, because these indices are cumulative, I felt that they were, in a sense, an historical set of records of the growth of the Conservative movement through the twentieth century, and that pro- fessional indexers will forgive these lapses.
