Book Description
Excerpt from History of Har Sinai Congregation of the City of BaltimoreThe founding of Har Sinai Congregation was in the form of a protest against the strict Orthodox regime of Rabbi Abraham Rice, who was Rabbi of the Stadt Schul, now the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. In 1840 there were about two hundred Jewish families in Baltimore, of whom only a very small proportion were native-born. There were then two congregations - the congregation just named, the Stadt Schul, which was then worshiping in a building at the cor ner of Hanover Street and zetna Lane, and the Fells Point Congregation with a synagogue at the northwest corner of Bond Street and Canton Avenue, later known as the Hebrew Friendship Congregation, which passed out of existence in 1904.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The American Synagogue
Author: Jack Wertheimer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521534543
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Adapting to the shifting characteristics of the American Jewish population and the larger society of the United States, the synagogue has consistently served as American Jewry's vital forum for the exploration of the evolving ideological and social concerns of American Jews. From the Americanization of an immigrant congregation in Seattle to the growth of a synagogue center in Brooklyn, and from the agitation for religious reform in early nineteenth-century Charlestown to the introduction of American folk music in a Houston temple, the cases studied in this volume attest to the prominent role of the synagogue in shaping, as well as adapting to, social, cultural, and ideological trends. The book begins with an overview of the historical transformation and denominational differentiation of American synagogues. The essays in the second section offer in-depth analyses of the critical challenges to and changes in synagogue life through innovative studies of representative congregations. The problems of geographic relocation, the conflict between ethnic preservation and acculturation, the development of education in the synagogue, and the changing role of women in the congregation are all examined.

The Dispersion of Egyptian Jewry
Author: Joel Beinin
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 052092021X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In this provocative and wide-ranging history, Joel Beinin examines fundamental questions of ethnic identity by focusing on the Egyptian Jewish community since 1948. A complex and heterogeneous people, Egyptian Jews have become even more diverse as their diaspora continues to the present day. Central to Beinin's study is the question of how people handle multiple identities and loyalties that are dislocated and reformed by turbulent political and cultural processes. It is a question he grapples with himself, and his reflections on his experiences as an American Jew in Israel and Egypt offer a candid, personal perspective on the hazards of marginal identities.
