S. Culture Infiltration Seen as world Zionism Aim<br> - Israel has No Rights Authority Over Lives of U.S. Jews Rosenwald Says: Assumptions in Ben-Gurion’s Knesset Speech Rejected by Head of American Council for Judaism<br> <br> “The American Council for Judaism ACJ is an organization of American Jews committed to the proposition that Jews are not a national but a religious group adhering to the original stated principles of Reform Judaism as articulated in the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform. In particular it is notable for its historical opposition to Zionism. Although it has since moderated its stance on the issue it still advocates that American Jews distance themselves from Israel politically and does not view Israel as a universal Jewish homeland.<br> The rabbis of Reform Judaism had opposed Zionism prior to World War I supporting freedom democracy and equal rights for Jews in the countries where they lived. The influential American Jewish Committee was also anti-Zionist until 1918 when it shifted to a non-Zionist platform until the 1967 Six-Day War. The Central Conference of American Rabbis of the Reform movement declared itself officially neutral on Zionism in 1937.<br> In 1942 a split within the Reform movement occurred due to the passage of a resolution by some rabbis endorsing the raising of a ‘Jewish Army’ in Palestine to fight alongside the Allies of World War II. The American and British general staffs opposed placing Jews in segregated armed forces.The founders of the American Council for Judaism regarded the potential segregation of Jews to be a highly regressive and harmful measure.<br> The ACJ was founded in June 1942 by a group of leading Reform rabbis including six former presidents of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the president of the Hebrew Union College as well as laymen who opposed the creation of a religiously segregated Jewish Army to fight alongside the Allies and the new political direction of some in their movement including but not limited to on the issue of Zionism as redefined by the Biltmore Program in May 1942.The leading rabbis included Louis Wolsey Morris Lazaron Abraham Cronbach David Philipson and Henry Cohen but their most vocal representative for a time became Elmer Berger who became the council's Executive Director.<br> The ACJ described itself as anti-nationalist and followed a universalist interpretation of Jewish history and destiny. According to its statement of principles the ACJ supported the 'rehabilitation' of Palestine and did not support political Zionism. It also declared that 'Jewish nationalism tends to confuse our fellowmen about our place and function in society and diverts our own attention from our historic role to live as a religious community wherever we may dwell.' The ACJ's leaders felt that they represented the views of a majority of American Jews and began a large membership drive. By 1946 it had numerous local chapters throughout the United States and regional offices in Richmond Chicago Dallas and San Francisco.<br> During World War II the council was active in opposing Zionism. In 1944 it protested the formation of the Jewish Brigade by the British Army which was composed of Palestinian Jews led by British-Jewish officers…it stated that…’Americans of the Jewish faith are and always have been in the American armed forces. The flag of Americans of the Jewish faith is the Stars and Stripes.'<br> While protesting the White Paper of 1939 which imposed strict limits on Jewish immigration to Palestine and land purchases in the country it also opposed 'Zionist nationalism' and urged American Jews to 'organize in strength out of deep concern for oppressed Jews everywhere behind a non-nationalistic program to deal with the total Jewish problem.' <br> It declared that 'Beyond the abrogation of the White Paper lies the need for a basic solution. That solution we believe can come only when there is world wide recognition of the rights of Jews to full equality. It can come in Palestine only when the pretensions to Jewish Statehood are abandoned and we seek instead freedom of migration opportunity based on incontestable rights and not on special privilege….<br> We look forward to the ultimate establishment of a democratic autonomous government in Palestine wherein Jews Moslems and Christians shall be justly represented; every man enjoying equal rights and sharing equal responsibilities; a democratic government in which our fellow Jews shall be free Palestinians whose religion is Judaism even as we are Americans whose religion is Judaism.'<br> Following World War II with the question of Palestine's future being considered the ACJ continued to support a joint Jewish–Arab state rather than a Jewish state in Palestine and opposed dispossessing the Arabs who were then living in Palestine.<br> The presidency of the ACJ was accepted by the well-known philanthropist Lessing J. Rosenwald who took the lead in urging the creation of a unitary democratic state in Mandatory Palestine in American policy-making circles. Rosenwald testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946 urged the creation of a unitary Jewish–Arab state in Palestine and allowing Jewish immigration to Palestine to continue only upon 'renunciation of the claim that Jews possess unlimited national right to the land and that the country shall take the form of a racial or theocratic state' and said that the United States and other UN member states should allow more Jewish immigration to solve the European–Jewish refugee problem.<br> It later endorsed the Committee of Inquiry's recommendations including that Palestine become neither a Jewish or Arab state and the admittance of 100000 Jewish refugees into Palestine. In addition it opposed the establishment of a Jewish state anywhere else in the world not just in Palestine. The ACJ's official position was that European Jews should be rehabilitated by restoring their civil political and economic security. <br> During the Jewish insurgency in Palestine a campaign against the British by Jewish underground groups in Palestine the Haganah Irgun and Lehi the ACJ opposed what it viewed as Jewish terrorism. Following the King David Hotel bombing it issued a statement calling for American Jews to 'repudiate the perpetrators of those outrages and those leaders of Jews in and out of Palestine whose incitement is equally responsible.' In a statement Lessing Rosenwald called for the American Jewish community to condition any further assistance to the Yishuv Palestinian Jewry on the end of violence….<br> After the State of Israel declared independence in 1948 the ACJ continued its anti-Zionist campaign….<br> Its position was that to American Jews Israel was not the state or homeland of the Jewish people but merely a foreign country. In December 1948 Lessing Rosenwald urged that the US condition friendship with Israel on Israel building an inclusive Israeli nationalism confined to its own borders and inclusive of its Muslim and Christian citizens rather than Jewish nationalism….<br> The ACJ switched its focus to battling what it viewed as its primary foe—the political influence of Zionism upon American Jewry. In addition to supporting a network of religious schools committed to Classical Reform Judaism the Council fought American-Jewish fundraising for Israel and agitated against the merging of Zionist fund-raising organizations with local Jewish community boards provided financial aid to Jews emigrating from Israel and to Palestinian refugees and enjoyed friendly relations with the Eisenhower State Department under John Foster Dulles. <br> The ACJ also vocally supported the efforts of William Fulbright to have the lobbyists for Israel in the United States legally registered as foreign agents. In 1955 the ACJ's head Elmer Berger advocated the complete assimilation of Jews into American life by switching the Jewish Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday creating a new menorah to 'reflect the appreciation of American Jews of the freedom of life in the United States' and for the interpretation of the holiday of Sukkot 'to be broadened to take on meaning to all citizens of an industrial society.'<br> In 1957 the Union of American Hebrew Congregations now known as the Union for Reform Judaism denounced the American Council for Judaism. In a statement the UAHC alleged that the ACJ misrepresented classical Reform Judaism undermined the unity of the Reform movement questioned the national loyalty of Jews who supported Zionism aided antisemites and 'played directly into the hands of Arab propagandists'.<br> Jewish intellectuals who at one time or another passed through the Council included David Riesman Hans Kohn Erich Fromm Hannah Arendt Will Herberg Morrie Ryskind Frank Chodorov and Murray Rothbard. Among the notable gentile friends of the council were Dorothy Thompson Norman Thomas Freda Utley Arnold J. Toynbee and Dwight Macdonald. The ACJ was particularly influential in San Francisco Philadelphia Houston Chicago Baltimore Washington D.C. Atlanta and Dallas†Wikipedia.<br> SUBJECTS: Zionism and Judaism -- Periodicals.

[Doris Lessing] [Patrick Eddington aka "Pat the Cat"]
An archive of 4 letters and 1 original typed prose essay sent by Doris Lessing to Patrick Eddington
The late Patrick Eddington was a Utah artist and former high school art teacher who had as a goal the desire to create “The Cat Project†where literary and visual artists from around the world were asked to produce original works about cats which would be included in a traveling exhibition and book unfortunately never realized. Doris Lessing 1919-2013 born in what was then Persia now Iran spent her childhood years in southern Africa. The author of nearly 50 books she received the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature becoming only the eleventh woman to receive literature’s most prestigious award in its 106-year history. Her works are often viewed as in-depth studies of twentieth-century living conditions behavioral patterns and historical progressions. Her masterwork is considered to be The Golden Notebook a postmodern feminist work published in 1962. Interestingly Lessing who was a devoted cat lover throughout her life is also the author of a book which conjures up the subtleties of feline existence On Cats. With regards to this small archive it is significant that this rather busy Nobel-Prize winning author would provide Eddington a high school art instructor and small press printer with a piece of original prose regarding cats supplied specifically for him at a relatively low cost.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Included in the archive are the following:<br /> <br /> <br /> TLS. Letter 8†x 10†from Doris Lessing to Patrick Eddington sent from London and dated 17th January 1986. A letter in which Lessing discusses her feelings with regards to one of her earlier works “A Small Personal Voice.†Eddington had recommended it to a friend and Lessing claims “The trouble is I wrote some of it a long time ago and I no longer agree with a lot of it. I wonder if she would like to read something more recent I wrote and read five lectures for C.B.C. under the title of Prisons We Choose to Live Inside. This represents what I think now not what I used to think in the ‘fifties.’†Signed “Yours Doris L.†at the foot.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ALS. Letter on a sheet of paper 7†x 9†written by Doris Lessing to Patrick Eddington. Not dated. In the brief letter Lessing thanks Eddington for the book by Barbara Kingsolver and writes “I am glad u sic like Brian Aldiss. He is one of my favorite people.†She closes the letter assuring Patrick that if she writes something suitable regarding the subject of cats she will remember him.<br /> <br /> <br /> TLS. Brief letter 8 ¼†x 11 ¼†from Doris Lessing sent from London and dated January 6 2000 addressed to Patrick. Lessing opens with “OK I’ve done a short piece. It is not a question of being paid but of time- am as usual in the middle of something. I don’t need a thousand dollars… Perhaps 500 I don’t need a Navajo rug….†Signed by Lessing.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Typed letter 8 ¼†by 7 ¾†from Lessing’s literary agent Jonathan Clowes to Patrick Eddington dated 10 January 2000 written in reference to the piece written by Doris Lessing titled “About Cats.†Clowes writes “We are happy for you to use this piece for the sum of $500 and perhaps you could let us have further details of your publication so that we can send you a permission contract for non-exclusive rights in the work. In particular please let us know which territories the book will be published in and how many copies will be printed.†Signed by the literary agent at the foot.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Typed manuscript signed 8 ¼†x 11 ½â€. “About Cats†by Doris Lessing. The original piece that Lessing sent to Patrick Eddington titled “About Cats†containing periodic manuscript corrections made by the author. Cat lovers will immediately recognize this as a keenly insightful succinct piece regarding the precious feline’s nature. Within the work the author muses “People who do not observe their cats but only rely on ‘received’ wisdom miss out. A cat gives back what you put into it returning affection and attention but withdrawing in dignified silence if ignored. No creature is more sensitive to slights and taunts and even teasing. Too much and they will take themselves off in search of a more sympathetic home. And yet one may not generalize: people who have had more than one child know that every baby is born different and similarly in a litter of kittens each one will be an individual. Like humans they are coarsegrained and sensitive stupid and clever clinging and standoffish. They may be talkative and silent show-offs and modest introverts.â€. unknown

[Kaplan, Anatoli Lvovich] Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim
Nathan der Weise. Ein dramatisches Gedicht in fünf Aufzügen. Mit 15 Kreidezeichnungen von Anatoli L. Kaplan. Signed and inscribed in russian by Illustrator Anatoli Lvovich Kaplan.

Leinen mit illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Sehr guter Zustand mit nur absolut geringen rein äußerlichen Gebrauchsspuren. Rücken des Umschlags etwas vergilbt. Nathan the Wise original German title: "Nathan der Weise" is a play by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in 1779. It is a fervent plea for religious tolerance. It was never performed during Lessing's lifetime and was first performed in 1783 at the Döbbelinsches Theater in Berlin. Set in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade it describes how the wise Jewish merchant Nathan the enlightened sultan Saladin and the initially anonymous Templar bridge their gaps between Judaism Islam and Christianity. Its major themes are friendship tolerance relativism of God a rejection of miracles and a need for communication. Wikipedia Anatoli Tankhum Lvovich Kaplan December 26 1902 in Rahachow Belarus- July 3 1980 in Leningrad was a Jewish-Russian painter sculptor and printmaker whose works often reflect his Jewish origins. Kaplan one was one of six children; his father was a butcher in Rahachow which was at that time within the Jewish Pale of Settlement in Russia. His background was therefore not dissimilar to that of Marc Chagall born a generation earlier in 1887 and although their lives were very different their art has much in common. The shtetl figures in many of Kaplan's paintings - autobiographical references are very clear in The Butcher's Shop 1972 and Tailor's Shops 1975 and in the many illustrations which he was to create to the works of Sholem Aleichem. Around 1922 Kaplan came to Leningrad then named Petrograd where he was to base his career for the rest of his life although he often revisited the towns of his childhood. He graduated in 1927 from the Russian Academy of Arts there. In the 1930s he became associated with a group of artists and lithographers in Leningrad which had been instructed to prepare a series of works dedicated to the remote Jewish Autonomous Oblast being created by Stalin in the hope of resettling Russia's Jewish population in a remote area in the Far East of the country. Here Kaplan learnt and took to the skills of printmaking developing many individual techniques. His first cycle of prints 1937-1940 was entitled Kasrilevka the name of the village invented by Sholem Aleichem. During the war Kaplan was at first evacuated to the Urals but returned to Leningrad in 1944. His lithograph cycle of Landscapes of Leningrad during the Days of the Blockade 1948 was widely acclaimed in Russia and was purchased by eighteen State galleries. At one time Kaplan was supervisor of design in a glassware factory and this gave him an interest in the third dimension which was later to blossom in his ceramics and sculptures. From the 1950s onwards Kaplan's artworks concentrated on Jewish themes despite constant and often serious opposition and obstruction from the Soviet cultural authorities. Amongst these works should be mentioned his cover and illustrations to the Jewish Folksongs of Dmitri Shostakovich 1977 illustrations to Aleichem's Tevye the Milkman 3 series 1957-1966 The Enchanted Tailor 1954-57 and Song of Songs 1962 and a magnificent series of coloured lithographs printed in London in 1961 on the old Jewish Passover song Chad Gadya One Kid Goat. Throughout this time Kaplan was also producing paintings though in view of their subject matter they were rarely displayed in the Russia of his time. From 1967 onward he began also to produce ceramics and sculptures including a remarkable set based on the characters of Gogol's Dead Souls. Wikipedia Anatoli Lwowitsch Kaplan 28. Dezember 1902 in Rahatschou Weißrussland; † 3. Juli 1980 in Leningrad war ein russisch-jüdischer Maler Bildhauer und Grafiker. Kaplans Umfeld in der Kindheit war nicht unähnlich dem von Marc Chagall der eine Generation früher 1887 geboren wurde. Auch wenn das Leben der beiden Künstler sehr unterschiedlich verlief so haben sie in ihrem Werk doch viel gemeinsam. Vor allem die Stetl-Gestalten und –Szenen spielen bei beiden eine große Rolle. Ebenso die autobiographischen Bezüge wie sie in Kaplans Gemälden „ Metzgerladen“ 1972 und „Schneiderladen“ 1975 ganz offensichtlich sind ebenso in vielen Illustrationen zu Werken des Schriftstellers Scholem Alejchem. Auf der Akademie wurde Kaplan in erster Linie als Maler ausgebildet. Weil er damit in den Jahren danach sein Brot nicht verdienen konnte musste er alle möglichen Aufgaben übernehmen. Dadurch erwarb er sich Routine auch in dekorativen und plakativen Arbeiten sowie in unterschiedlichsten Techniken samt dem Umgang mit Schrift und Ornamenten. Im Jahr 1937 erhielt er den Auftrag des Leningrader Ethnographischen Museums für die jüdische Sektion eine Serie von Lithographien zu schaffen. Jetzt erst in der Experimentierwerkstatt des Leningrader Künstlerverbandes erlernte Kaplan systematisch die Techniken der Druckgrafik. Er entwickelte auch eigene Verfahren. Seinen ersten Lithographie-Zyklus 1937–1940 nannte er „Kasrilewke“ nach einem Dorf in einer Erzählung von Scholem Alejchem. Der Krieg brachte einen harten Einschnitt in Kaplans künstlerisches Wirken. Erst 1944 nach der Rückkehr aus der Evakuierung im Ural konnte er seine Arbeit wieder aufnehmen. Er begann sofort mit einem Lithographien-Zyklus über die Leiden seiner Stadt. 1946 erschien die Mappe „Leningrad in den Tagen der Blockade“. Kaplan führte die Bildfolge bis zum Ende der fünfziger Jahre weiter und bezog den Wiederaufbau ein. Ab 1953 konzentrierte sich Kaplan wieder ganz auf jüdische Themen. Damit eckte er ständig und ernsthaft bei den sowjetischen Kulturbehörden an. Unter den Werken dieser Epoche sind besonders bemerkenswert die Illustrationen zu „Jüdische Volkslieder“ von Dmitri Schostakowitsch zu Scholem Alejchems „Tewje der Milchmann“ „Der behexte Schneider“ und „Stempenju“ und zu Mendele Moicher Sforims „Fischke der Lahme“. Ab 1967 schuf Kaplan vor allem Keramiken und Skulpturen darunter einen bemerkenswerten Satz von Gestalten aus Gogols Roman „Die toten Seelen“. In Formen und Farben beweist er einen phantastisch-spielerischen Umgang mit dem Material. Wikipedia hardcover

[LESSING, Doris]; [SHAW, Mike]
Brief TLS from Doris Lessing to Mike Shaw Curtis Brown turning him down
1979. One-page TLS 24th March 1979 on thin white paper: nine lines in black type featuring Lessing's Kingscroft Road address and signed in black biro "Doris". Folded and heavily creased a few nicks unrelated note in black biro to reverse. Good- A brief but significant 1979 typed letter in which Lessing turns down Mike Shaw of Curtis Brown the literary agency which first represented her: "Well I can only say – and mean most sincerely – that I am very sorry – but I have decided not to". After a line about the handling of her foreign rights she closes by noting that she has "started volume three" and once it "is well and truly under weigh" she will invite him for lunch. The "volume three" is likely The Sirian Experiments the third volume of her five book sci-fi series Canopus in Argos: Archives which was published the following year in 1980. The British agent Jonathan Clowes represented Lessing for most of her writing career. unknown

The Diary of Good Neighbour
Alfred A. Knopf 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 253 pages. A novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author published under a pseudonym as a stunt to show the treatment of books by unknown authors.

''If the books had come out in my name they would have sold a lot of copies and reviewers would have said 'Oh Doris Lessing how wonderful.' As it is there were almost no reviews and the books sold about 1500 copies here and scarcely 3000 copies each in the United States.''--Lessing in the New York Times September 23 1984. Lessing's long-time British publisher declined to publish either of the two 'Jane Somers' novels before they knew the author was Lessing. First American edition first printing. Near fine in a dust jacket with minor scuffing to covers and light fading to spine thus near fine. Signed by the author as Doris Lessing on the title page.<br> Alfred A. Knopf hardcover
