He served as a mohel (ritual circumciser) in New York and as a rabbi and mohel in New Rochelle. Kadushin attempted to professionalize the practice of milah (circumcision) . He complained that âevery individual and sluggard who comes to this land and does not desire to carry on his back the heavy load of the peddler titles himself a mohel. Â He claimed to âhave seen hundreds of actual arelim (uncircumcised individuals) â as a result of the ignorance of these mohelim. Kadushin himself circumcised âseven thousand boysâ" He died in 1932. This manual contains the services (with an English translation) and an anthology of the laws for weddings, circumcisions, bar mitzvahs and the redemption of the first-born. Kadushin published it for religious functionaries unable to study the procedures directly from the codes because their time was consumed with their livelihood.

Â Includes a prayer for the government and a prayer for the settlement of Eretz Yisrael. SUBJECTS: Sermons. OCLC lists 3 copies worldwide (UCLA, Harvard, JTS) . Very Good Condition.

About 4-8 pages each, except for final issue, which has 20 pages; 22 cm. A continuation of the News Bulletin from 1938-1946. A nearly complete DP-era run of the News Bulletin Published by American Friends of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem from 1948-1953.

Their Jewish consciousness is very strong, however, and when intermarriage takes place between one of them and a Catholic Indian, the non-Jewish partner is usually converted to Judaism and brought into the congregation. Aimed primarily at building political and financial support for the University within American Jewry, the publication is very slick and appealing to look at.

"The son of a distinguished merchant family in Minsk, Zitron was educated at Lithuanian yeshivot. While studying at the Volozhin yeshivah, he became attracted to the Haskalah and in 1876 moved to Vienna, where he became friendly with P. Smolenskin. After studying for several years in Germany, he began his journalistic career, and for more than 50 years contributed to the Yiddish press and to nearly all the Hebrew periodicals in the Diaspora. In the 1880s to 1890s, he wrote short stories, one of which, "Yonah Potah" (1887) , aroused popular attention. He joined the Hibbat Zion movement in its early days and translated L. Pinsker 's Autoemanzipation into Hebrew. From 1904 Zitron lived in Vilna and edited various newspapers and anthologies. Of special interest are a series of articles on the Hebrew press published in Haolam. Based mainly on Zitron's personal experiences and recollections, the articles contain material of historic value, particularly on Ha-Maggid, Ha-Meliz, Ha-Zefirah, Ha-Karmel, Ha-Levanon, Ha-Emet, and Ha-Kol. He also wrote about the history of the Yiddish press in the 19th century. With the decline of the Hebrew press in Eastern Europe, Zitron wrote extensively for the Yiddish press, and published many monographs written in a popular style, some of which were later published in book form. Zitron also translated many books into Hebrew (including the works of An-Ski and the stories of L. Levanda) . " (EJ, 2007) Ex library.

He was a political Zionist, not a cultural or religious Zionist, having ceased being an observant Jew at eighteen, instead becoming a "militant naturalist and evolutionist, " and making his fame with Die Conventionellen Luegen der Kulturmenschheit, first published in 1883. Also at eighteen, he started his career in journalism, on the staff of the Pester Lloyd. While condemning modern culture and politics, the situation of the Jewish people was never far from Nordau's mind. He met Theodor Herzl in 1982, and soon after began discussing the possibility of a Jewish state with him. He was vice president of the First through Sixth Zionist Congresses, and president of the Seventh through Tenth. (EJ, 2007) Bookplate, otherwise very good condition. (HebLit-5-19)

Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Jewish Historical Society of New York held at Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish & Portugese Synagogue on April 10, 1975. Stern (19151984) , was a U. S. Reform rabbi, historian, genealogist. Stern, who has been called "the father of Jewish genealogy in America, " was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1981, Stern joined the faculty of the New York campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, initially as counselor for student field work and subsequently as adjunct professor of American Jewish History. There he continued his research, begun in 1950, as genealogist for the American Jewish Archives and the American Historical Society. Stern compiled the pioneering volume American Families of Jewish Descent (1960) , an eight-pound tome containing 26, 000 names researched over the course of 10 years of labor. It was the first genealogical survey of Jewish families who settled in the United States between 1654 and 1840, and was lauded as an invaluable research tool in the fields of American and Jewish history. Many American Protestants and Catholics first learned of Jewish roots and branches in their family trees from Stern's data, which served as an important source for Stephen Birmingham's best-selling novel, The Grandees.

COLLECTION OF PAPERS FROM CONGREGATION SHEARITH ISRAEL, NEW YORK
A series of papers connected to a controversy in 1997 over changes in the board of Trustees, and in 2004 over changes in the seating plan of the Synagogue which would have allowed both women and men to sit on the main floor, changing a tradition that dates back to the consecration of the original synagogue building on Mill Street in 1730. Extensively researched reports submitted by a congregant on the history of the rituals around seating at Shearith Israel, and the importance of continuity of their traditions. He argues that this change would move the service away from its unique Western Sephardic style, and closer to that of Modern Orthodoxy, an Ashkenazi movement. Also included are various papers connected to celebrations and special events at the Synagogue, and brochures on the buildings history, legacy and capital campaign. Some papers are folded. 24 items. Very good condition. (SEF-35-21)
