    JEWISH NATIONAL OEGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES In the following list information is given respecting those Jewish organ- izations which have a national scope as distinguished from societies of a local character which are listed in the Directory of Local Jewish Organizations, volume 21, pp. 330-583, and in the Supplementary Directory in this volume, pp. 322-339. Eighty-two hodies are listed below. During the past year, the Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis disbanded, and the three organizations of Roumanian Jews were amalgamated. Over against this decrease are nine new national bodies, namely, the Aid Association for ex-Patients of Tubercular Sanatoriums, the Federation of Hungarian Jews, the Federation of Ukrainian Jews, the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic, the Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America, The Leo N. Levi Memorial Hospital Association, Sigma Epsilon Delta Fraternity, the Union of Orthodox Women's Organization of America, and Young Israel of Amer- ica. There has therefore been a net increase of six in the number of organizations. No material change has occurred in the statistics of these organizations as given in volume 21. The classification used there is repeated below with the addition of the Landsmanpschaften—organizations of natives of various sections of Europe—and a miscellaneous group comprising the Jewish Sab- bath Alliance of American and the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic. In the international group are the Alliance Israelite Unlverselle, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Jewish Congress ; the Zionist organizations have been grouped separately. In the educational class are the Council of Young Men's Hebrew and Kindred Associations, the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, the Jewish Chautauqua Society, and others of a similar character.

  • Weizmann Institute Dinner, Chicago, Illinois, September 10, 1967
    [-ry~J September 10, 1967 Palmer House, Chicago, Ill. INTRODUCTION BY ADLAI E. STEVENSON III, State Treasurer of Illinois: Philip Klutznick has no cause to be grateful. We are all his debtors, and that includes my father, too. In 1789, when John Adams was the vice president, he wrote once and said, 11 My country has, in its wisdom, contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man has contrived or his imagination conceived. Apparently John Adams was unfamiliar with the office of State Treasurer {laughter) I won't mention the office of Lieutenant Governor,- - but all that, of course, is now changed. The course of events has thrust upon our Vice President responsibility of a magnitude which our founding fathers could never have conceived; and the mark of one man has given that office powers over the affairs of men which range from the control of outer space to the exploration of our oceans' floors. As mayor of Minne- apolis, ... as a United States Senator, ... as Vice President of the United States, and all his countless public endeavors, Hubert Humphrey has brought a touch of warmth, a careful blend of realism and idealism, a relentless devotion to the welfare of all, especially the underdog, and energies which only a pure heart and high purpose could generate. In the midst of appalling pressures, in times of cynicism and indifference, he has always shared with another of his predecessors, Thomas Jefferson, a boundless enthusiasm for the possibilities of - 2- reason and progress. He shares, too, with Thomas Jefferson, a con- viction that excellence is the heart of the Democratic hope, the animating ideal toward which it is forever groping.

  • The Spirit of the Ghetto
    The Spirit of the Ghetto By Hutchins Hapgood The Spirit of the Ghetto Chapter One The Old and the New THE OLD MAN No part of New York has a more intense and varied life than the colony of Russian and Galician Jews who live on the east side and who form the largest Jewish city in the world. The old and the new come here into close contact and throw each other into high relief. The traditions and customs of the orthodox Jew are maintained almost in their purity, and opposed to these are forms and ideas of modern life of the most extreme kind. The Jews are at once tenacious of their character and susceptible to their Gentile environment, when that environment is of a high order of civilization. Accordingly, in enlightened America they undergo rapid transformation tho retaining much that is distinctive; while in Russia, surrounded by an ignorant peasantry, they remain by themselves, do not so commonly learn the Gentile language, and prefer their own forms of culture. There their life centres about religion. Prayer and the study of "the Law" constitute practically the whole life of the religious Jew. When the Jew comes to America he remains, if he is old, essentially the same as he was in Russia. His deeply rooted habits and the "worry of daily bread" make him but little sensitive to the conditions of his new home. His imagination lives in the old country and he gets his consolation in the old religion. He picks up only about a hundred English words and phrases, which he pronounces in his own way.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • ISRAEL UNDER FIRE Emergency Support for the South of Israel
    © The Jewish Agency for Israel for AgencyJewish © The ISRAEL UNDER FIRE Emergency Support for the South of Israel MAY 2021 Introduction The Jewish Agency for Israel and Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal once again find ourselves at the forefront of the fight against terror, working closely with the Government of Israel and the most senior security officials in the country. As our brothers and sisters across Israel are once again facing rocket attacks, we turn to you, our dearest partners and closest allies, to aid us in providing critical support to those most deeply impacted by indiscriminate acts of terror. The security situation in Israel, particularly in the southern region, has deteriorated dramatically over the past few days and the need for intervention is immediate. Incessant rocket attacks have heightened the risk for local residents and as a result, schools have been periodically closed with families sleeping in bomb shelters. The damage caused by these attacks creates psychological, emotional, and financial ramifications. The trauma suffered may take years to even begin to heal from, and the after-effects could last a lifetime. Supported by Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal, The Jewish Agency’s Fund for Victims of Terror provides immediate financial assistance to bereaved families who have lost loved ones or suffered injuries due to terror attacks. We are currently seeking additional funds to respond to the current situation and ensure the safety and security of our nation and build long-term resilience among those who are impacted the most by the security situation and ongoing rocket attacks. The following items represent the most urgent needs during this current wave of rocket fire and acts of terror.
