OF THE JKWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA The Annual Meeting of the Jewish Publication Society of America was held on Sunday evening, March 30, 1924, at the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning, Philadelphia, Pa. The President of the Society, Mr. Simon Miller, acted as Chairman, and Mr. I. George Dobsevage, as Secretary. Rabbi Mortimer J. Cohen, of Philadelphia, opened the meeting with prayer. The President read the following report of the Society's activities: THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS The institutions of Jewish life—-philanthropic, social, religious and educational, all serve to show the world that the Jews are not solely engaged in the sordid yet neces- sary pursuit of physical comfort but that they are seekers after the vital and the spiritual values of life. Among all such activities, none is so needful as a society for the publication and dissemination of the history and literature of the Jews. That the Jewish Publication Society has not fully encompassed this need may be ascribed to want of support, although its condition at the end of this year is somewhat better than at the beginning of last year. It is reasonable to conceive that the timely publication of Yehoash's "The Feet of the Messenger" may have JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 679 been one of the forces that during this year have been bent toward that rebuilding of Zion, which is engaging the best minds among American Jews. The American Jewish Year Book was in the hands of our members before our New Year's Day. It long ago ceased to be merely a Jewish almanac and is now a most necessary and timely hand-book of Jewish information. To its editor, Mr. Harry Schneiderman, and the many contributors whose names appear at the head of special articles and to the silent cooperators the thanks of Jewry is extended. The last issue contained five special features of timely interest. Miss Hannah London's article on Portraits of Jews by Early American Painters, besides throwing side-lights on the positions of usefulness occupied by many Jews in the colonial period of American history showed also that our brethren were among the small number who gave encouragement to the development of the fine arts in the early years of our national existence. Prof. Israel Davidson's brief but adequate discussion of the origin and nature of the time-honored prayer Kol Nidre, and Dr. Moses Hyamson 's article on the Jewish method of slaughter, have value not only as educational papers on interesting topics but also as a defense against subtle attacks. The list of Standard Books in English on Jewish Subjects compiled by Mr. I. George Dobsevage, contains not only titles of books on every phase of Jewish history, life, and thought, intended to suggest topical reading and to assist religious schools and libraries to complete their collections but is itself an index of how sparse and meagre is the literature in English in the very departments listed. The most important book published by the Society this (.so AMERICAN JKW1SH YEAR BOOK year is the volume of the religious poetry of Solomon Ibn Gabirol as translated by Israel Zangwill, from a critical text edited by Prof. Israel Davidson. This handy volume beautifully printed, artistically bound, containing an ac- curate vocalized Hebrew text prepared by the greatest authority on Hebrew poetry with an English translation by the foremost Jewish literary figure of today, is certainly a fitting and auspicious beginning of "The Schiff Library of Jewish Classics". Gabirol and Zangwill are great names in Jewish literature. In both burns the unquenchable flame of the Jewish spirit. Heine called Gabirol a nightingale of piety, the thinker among poets and the poet of thinkers. This book is instinct with high religious fervor and breathes in glowing faith in the wisdom, justice and graciousness of God; they utter the most authentic note in Jewish song since the days when the Psalms were written. The volume has been universally acclaimed and the first edition nearly exhausted. The Society may well be proud of the fact that it was responsible for the publication of Zangwill's first great book, "The Children of the Ghetto," and his latest great book, the translation of the Gabirol poems. The Year Book for the next year will contain as a leading article an essay by Dr. Saltes of New York, dealing with the contributions made by the Yiddish press to the American- ization of our immigrant population. Curiously enough, by internal evidences and citations Dr. Saltes will demon- strate that the love of country of the new settlers is indeed all of one hundred percent. The forthcoming issue of the Year Book will contain also a number of necrologies of the too many of our great JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 081 sons who have answered the final call and have gone to the Great Beyond. While the death of Judge Mayer Sulz- berger bereft the whole Jewish people of their greatest leader, the blow falls most heavily on our society. Since its inception his has been the guiding intellect, his the wise counsel, his the dynamic force, in all its efforts. No more fitting acknowledgment of the Jews' debt to him than the founding of a fund as suggested by Dr. Schulman for the resumption of the publication of a Jewish Commentary on the Bible. No work appealed to Judge Sulzberger so strongly as this idea of the Commentary, in proof of which witness his own original work in that field. In the death of Dr. Joseph H. Krauskopf, the Society lost one of its founders and earliest workers. His interest in our work continued until the other activities demanded so much of his time that he was forced to discontinue his active labors in our organization. Ever since Dr. Henry Berkowitz came to Philadelphia his connection with the Society as a member of the Publi- cation Committee was of great service to the cause. He was always ready with his counsel. His high sense of literary values, as well as his profound knowledge was of inestimable advantage to us. We will miss his kindly criticism and his unfaltering sense of duty. At this moment we must pause to pay our respects to the memory of that most gifted scholar and genial per- sonality who has been taken from us—Prof. Benzion Halper. Those who knew him intimately were distressed to hear of his passing, and it was a shock to all of us who had hope- fully looked forward and prayed for his recovery. The loss of Prof. Halper's services to Israel and to our Society 0X1 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK in particular is very serious.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract In mandatory Palestine, Zionist civil society proved to be a powerful instrument for institution- and state-building. Civil society developed around four conditions: shared values, horizontal linkages of participation, boundary demarcation and interaction with the state. These four 6ctors were created and/or enhanced by the provision of medical services and by the organization of public health. In Jewish Palestine, these were developed - especially in the 1930s - by two medical agencies: the Hadassah Medical Organization and Kupat Cholim. First of all, Zionist health developed autonomously from an administrative point of view. Secondly, it was organized in a network of horizontal participation which connect different sections of the (Jewish) population. In the third place, medical provision worked as a connecting element between territory, society and administratioiL Lastly, the construction of health in mandatory Palestine contributed to create a cultural uniformity which was implicitly nationalistic.

  • Ninety Years of Habonim-Dror Sa: a Short History
    NINETY YEARS OF HABONIM-DROR SA: A SHORT HISTORY By Gideon Shimoni, October 2020 FOUNDATIONS: A JEWISH SCOUT MOVEMENT The extraordinary significance of Zionism as sentiment, ideology and organization is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of South African Jewry, and youth movements have always been Zionism's beating heart and conscience. Habonim (now Habonim-Dror), founded in early 1931, has been the largest and most influential of these youth movements, at least until the last few decades when the orthodox-religious youth movement, Bnei Akiva, challenged its status. To be sure, flourishing youth societies, engaging youth above 16 years of age, existed before Habonim was founded. Known as Judean Societies, and Young Israel Societies, their activities were coordinated in 1932 through the formation of a Zionist Youth Council affiliated to the Zionist Federation. However, Habonim was the first youth movement that focused upon the adolescent age group (initially 12 to 16 years) and engaged each generation of its own graduates in the hadracha (guidance ) of the next generation of Jewish youth. When Norman and Nadia Lourie founded Habonim, it was essentially as a Jewish equivalent of Baden-Powell’s Boy Scouts. It was entirely independent and autonomous. Lourie himself had adopted the idea in London where he had joined Wellesley Aron in the founding of Habonim on the same model about a year earlier. Its underlying educational purpose was to foster character development in a healthily fun-filled, Jewishly meaningful and socially caring spirit. However, from the outset, the main emphasis was on identification with the Jewish national renaissance epitomized by Zionism.
