ACCESS AND PROVENANCEThe majority of the materials in the UNION FOR REFORM JUDAISM RECORDS was presented to the American Jewish Archives by the Union from 1951 through 1974. When the offices of the UAHC moved from Cincinnati to New York City in 1951, many of the Union's files were left in Cincinnati, stored in the Archives. In 1955, the Union began sending additional records to the Archives. Other materials in the UNION FOR REFORM JUDIASM RECORDS were donated to the Archives by various donors from 1956 through 1986. Subseries 2 of the micro-filmed material was sent to the American Jewish Archives in June 1969 and microfilmed at the American Jewish Periodical Center (Cincinnati, Ohio) before being returned to the Union in August 1970. The Executive Board meeting transcripts (Subseries 1) were filmed in New York City by an outside vendor during the Spring of 1999.
The collection is open to all users and available in the reading room of the American Jewish Archives. Literary rights have not been dedicated to the public. Any questions concerning literary or copyrights should be addressed to the Administrative Director of the American Jewish Archives.
INSTITUTIONAL SKETCH
top
In early 1873, five Cincinnati congregations issued a call for a national conference of Jewish congregations to be held in Cincinnati in order to form a Jewish congregational organization. Such an action had been recommended the previous year by both Moritz Loth and Isaac Mayer Wise, President and Rabbi, respectively, of Cincinnati's Congregation Bene Yeshurun. Thus, from July 8-10, 1873 delegates representing twenty-nine congregations (basically from the Midwest and the South) assembled in Cincinnati and founded the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC). The stated objects of the Union were: to establish a Hebrew theological institute, provide for and advance Sabbath schools for the instruction of the young, aid and encourage new and young congregations and "provide, sustain and manage such other institutions which the common welfare and progress of Judaism shall require." At this first meeting, Moritz Loth was elected president, an Executive Board was selected and Cleveland, Ohio was designated as the site for the first UAHC Council meeting in 1874.
The primary purpose of the Union, the establishment of a Jewish theological seminary, was accomplished at this first Council meeting in Cleveland. In February 1873 Henry Adler had donated $10,000 for the establishment of a rabbinical college with the stipulation that it be used within three years. With this impetus, the UAHC Council unanimously adopted the report of the Committee on Theological Institute, which recommended that a rabbinical seminary, to be named Hebrew Union College and located in Cincinnati, be declared established. The UAHC Council further approved the suggestion that the College be under the control, management, and government of a Board of Governors which was to be appointed by the Union.
Hebrew Union College officially opened on October 3,1875 with seventeen students and Isaac M. Wise as President and teacher. Thereafter HUC grew both in the number of students as well as the number of faculty. The HUC curriculum developed and changed over the years and the relations between the Union and the College remained amicable. From 1875 until his death in 1900, Dr. Wise submitted monthly reports to the Board of Governors concerning the HUC's progress. In 1881 the Union purchased a building for the College's use. In 1883 HUC ordained its first graduates. In the early 20th century, the Union purchased land and erected a library and classroom building for the College in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Clifton.
In 1924 the UAHC Committee on Survey, formed to analyze the activities of the Union and all its administrative methods, recommended that the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Hebrew Union College be chartered separately. The Committee felt that separate incorporation would provide more money for the College as well as relieve the UAHC of some of its financial responsibilities. Thus in 1926 the Union transferred $25,000 to Hebrew Union College and henceforth became its patronizing body, retaining possession of the land and the HUC buildings and electing 2/3 of the members of the Board of Governors.
The UAHC Department of Synagogue and School Extension, which was initially established as the Department of Synagogue Extension in 1903, is responsible for the achievements of two other chartered aims: 1) to provide for and advance Sabbath schools for the instruction of the young and 2) to aid and encourage the development of new and young congregations.
Immediately upon its founding, the Union began disseminating Jewish literature by distributing Bibles for use by congregations, Sabbath schools and individuals. By 1876 a Committee on Sabbath Schools had been established. And in 1894, at the suggestion of Edward N. Calisch, the Union appointed a Committee on Circuit Preaching, which was to "devise ways and means to supply" the Jewish families of smaller cities with religious educations as well as religious services. In 1903 the Department of Synagogue Extension was established and the office of Field Secretary was created. During the next two years, George Zepin, who was appointed the first UAHC Field Secretary, travelled throughout the United States bringing Judaism and the UAHC to small towns while also bringing information about American Jews and Jewish congregations to the UAHC.
In 1905 the Hebrew Sabbath School Union of America, which had been distributing books and educational aids to Jewish Sabbath Schools, turned its entire assets over to the UAHC. In that same year, the Union established the Department of Synagogue and School Extension, with a Board of Managers to serve as its governing body and George Zepin as its Director. The Department now assumed all responsibilities concerning Sabbath schools and the development of new and young congregations.
Since 1905 the Department has been involved in innumerable activities, some of which include: the publication of Young Israel, a periodical for Jewish youth, the opening up of the Ezra Hebrew School as well as several other religious schools in New York City by the New York Committee of this Department, the creation of a Bureau of Summer Services to provide religious services and activities at summer resorts and camps, and the sponsorship of annual layman's tours, which send speaking tours all over the country.
The Board of Delegates on Civil Rights was another important component in the early development of the Union. In 1876 the UAHC absorbed the Board of Delegates of the American Israelites, the only other American cogregational organization at the time. The Board of Delegates had been founded in 1859 to collect statistics on U.S. Jewry, provide Jewish educational services, carry out charitable works and safeguard national and inter- national Jewish civil and religious rights. When the Board became a part of the Union, these goals were retained by the creation in 1878 of the UAHC Board of Delegates on Civil and Religious Rights. Some of the accomplishments of the UAHC Board of Delegates include compiling statistics on American Jewry in 1878 and 1897, alerting the UAHC of Semitic and anti-Semitic activities in Russia, Romania and other foreign countries, recommending UAHC co-operation with the Alliance Israelite Universelle, and safeguarding Jewish civil and religious rights in the United States.
In 1925 the UAHC decided to eliminate the Board of Delegates from its structure because there were other organizations just as well suited to deal with Jewish civil rights, It was also felt that the Union should restrict itself to purely religious aims. In the forty-seven years of its existence, though, the UAHC Board of Delegates on Civil Rights played a significant role both in the American Jewish experience and in the development of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
In order to finance its various activities the Union had to raise money beyond what was provided through annual membership dues. As early as the 19th century, the Union began financing loans and participating in various real estate ventures. In addition the Union conducted many fund raising campaigns over the years: from 1900 through 1910 the Isaac M. Wise Memorial Fund to raise $500,000 for Hebrew Union College was conducted, in 1913 the Union began a $1,000,000 subscription campaign, in that same year a National Advisory Board for fund raising purposes was created with membership from all over the nation, and in 1924 Adolph S. Ochs undertook a massive campaign for the UAHC in New York City.
Since 1873, the Union has participated in many activities to help promote American Judaism. In 1906 the UAHC worked with B'nai B'rith to establish Jewish organizations at colleges and universities. During World War I the Union collected statistics on Jews serving in the armed forces. In 1917 the Union participated in the national food conservation movement. In 1924 the Union produced and circulated a film entitled The New Dawn.
In conjunction with the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) the Union has developed a pension plan for American rabbis. The UAHC and CCAR also have several joint departments and commissions, which deal with such things as social justice, rabbinical placement, Jewish education and interfaith activities. The Union has established several regional branches. In addition, it has founded various auxiliary organizations: the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods in 1913, the National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods in 1923, the National Federation of Temple Youth in 1939, the National Federation of Temple Secretaries in 1943 and the National Federation of Temple Educators in 1955.
In 1951 the Union moved its headquarters from Cincinnati to the House of Living Judaism in New York City. The organization which began with a conference of twenty-nine congregations from the Midwest and the South, now has several hundred member congregations, representing all geographic areas of the United States.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The Records of the Union for American Hebrew Congregations, 1873-1985 contain original and microfilm copies of correspondence, minutes, reports, financial records, nearprint and miscellaneous material. The collection traces the activities and growth of the Union, the development of Reform Judaism and the experience of 19th and 20th century American Jews and Jewish congregations. The Records are divided into five series:
SERIES A. CORRESPONDENCE, 1873-1969, consists of 53 boxes divided into three subseries: 1. Executive Secretary's Correspondence, 2. New York Office's Correspondence, and 3. Correspondence of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism.A. CORRESPONDENCE, B. FINANCIAL RECORDS. C. ANNUAL REPORTS D. MISCELLANES RECORDS E. MICROFILMED RECORDS. Subseries 1, Executive Secretary's Correspondence, forms the main body of the UAHC RECORDS. The correspondence in this subseries reflects the responsibility of the Jewish congregations (and consequently the UAHC) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to provide more than just religious services to the congregants. Interspersed with the correspondence concerning dues, donations and other financial or membership matters is correspondence, minutes and reports from individuals and UAHC committees concerning some of the social and political as well as religious issues confronting the contemporary Jew. Within this subseries one can witness the attempts of the Board of Delegates to protect national and international Jewish civil rights, the efforts (in 1903) to Americanize the name Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the failure of the Union to be represented at an international conference on Zionism in 1906, and the many efforts made for national co-operation between all American Jews and Jewish orcanizations. The development of Hebrew Union College and the growing importance of the Department of Synagogue and School Extension to the Union can also be seen in this Subseries.
Subseries 1 spans the years 1873 through 1963, although the majority of the material is prior to 1925. It covers Lipman Levy's entire tenure as UAHC Secretary (1873-1917) as well as part of the tenure of George Zepin who succeeded him. The Subseries is chronologically arranged by year.
The first two boxes contain four volumes of letterpress copybooks of the UAHC Secretary's outgoing correspondence for the years 1873 through 1888. The Secretary's incoming correspondence for these years is contained in the next eight boxes. The 1877-1888 correspondence was also bound into letterbooks but they were taken apart for preservation purposes. Their original order, however, has been left intact. An index by name of correspondent or city of congregation was maintained for retrieval purposes by Lipman Levy for each letterbook. These indexes preceed each letterbook in the collection.
The correspondence from 1873 through 1877 and after October 1888 is arranged by year and within each year alphabetically by city of the corespondent or city of the subject of the correspondence. (i.e. the 1902 correspondence with Isaac W. Bernheim is in the 1902 Louisville folder, the 1902 material concerning Hebrew Union College is in the 19O2 Cincinnati folders and the 1902 material dealing with the Board of Delegates on Civil and Religious Rights is in the 1902 Washington, D.C. folder). This is the original order used by Levy as Secretary and it is maintained because it reflects the importance of the city/congregation to the UHAC. Much of the material in this subseries supplements the information contained in the published Proceedings of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. As such, the Proceedings serve and a general index to this Subseries.
Subseries 2, New York Office Correspondence, consists of the correspondence files of Jacob B. Pollak as manager of the UAHC office in New York City. This office serced as the headquarters for the New York Executive Committee and the New York Committee of the Department of Synagogue and School Extention. The Subseries contains information UAHC activities in general as well as the various activities in NYC. Information con- cerning the UAHC Bureau of Summer Serivce and the Layman's Tours are in the Subseries along with information concerning the UAHC Religious Schools in New York City, New York's Association of Reform Rabbis, and the UAHC Northeastern Regional Association. The Subseries is arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within by the name of correspondent, institution, or congregation's location.
Subseries 3, Correspondence of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism consists of three folders of correspondence, minutes, reports of the Joint UAHC-CCAR Commission. Much of the materials deals with The Commission's Religious Action Center in Washing, D.C. The Subseries is arranged chronologically.
SERIES B. FINANCIAL RECORDS, 1873-1946, consists of UAHC bills bank records, budgetary information, contribution and subscription records, disbursemnet records, receipts and various other financial record books. The material in this Series shows both the day-to-day financial operations of the Union as well as the long-term financial planning of the Union's activities. The Series is divided into two Subseries: 1. General Funds, 2. Special Funds.
Series C. ANNUAL REPORTS, 1873-1985, contains reports and minutes of Council and committee meetings which do not appear fully in the Proceedings of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The congregational reports in this Series contain membership information which is found in the Proceedings but, in these early reports, UAHC Secretary Levy included many handwritten notes explaining the history of the particular congregation.
Series D. MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS, 1873-1981, consists of three boxes of records concerning the Union in general as well as specific departments within the Union. Some of the material in this Series includes: Executive Board attendance records, Lipman Levy's 1906 scrapbook of birthday greetings, 1930 UAHC newsreleases, questionnaires concerning Jews serving in the armed forces during World War I and statistical information.
Series E. MICROFILMED RECORDS, Subseries 1 consists of transcripts of both Executive Board and Executive Committee meetings from 1924-1973. Beginning in 1927, there is a detailed table of contents preceeding each transcript which lists agenda items, discussions, reports, and other topics covered in the meetings. These transcripts are a verbatim record these important administrative meetings, recording exactly what was said and by whom. Subseries 2, Committees, departments, and miscellaneous records, 1877-1955, contains correspondence minutes, reports and nearprint, with the majority of the material dating after 1920. The records in this Series basically deal with the activities of the various UAHC committees, departments and commissions. Included are records concerning UAHC finances and fundraising, rabbinical placement, education, armed forces, Council meetings, the Department of Synagogue and School Extension, the Commission on Jewish Education, the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods and the Board of Delegates on Civil Rights.
