Imprint: New York; Conference On Jewish Relations, 1940 Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages. 23 cm. Holocaust-era Publication by the Medical Committee of the organization ‘Conference on Jewish Relations’; this sociological study outlines the findings of research into the medical profession, the ratio of Jewish doctors to population, their dispersal geographically in the United States (with an accompanying map) , and proposals for the need to eliminate the quota system in the higher education system which prevents Jews from entering into diverse professions, as well as a proposal for where doctors in exile from the troubles in Europe can emigrate to (specifically, areas with low concentrations, not only of Jewish doctors, but doctors in general) . “What is the status of Jews in the field of medicine, and what are their prospects? Are too many of them crowding the profession or are many turned away unjustly? How extensive or justified is the limitation on Jews in medical schools, on hospital staffs, or in certain specialized medical societies? Has our general standard of medical practice been sufficiently high to deserve greater prestige? What does the future hold out for us and what if anything should we do about it? The Conference on Jewish Relations has been studying these and other questions in the conviction that there can be no sound policies of proper adjustment to our fellow citizens without an adequate basis of accurate information as to the actual conditions. ” The piece also outlines, besides the systemic Antisemitism of the higher university system, the social Antisemitism of towns and locales wherein hotels or businesses bar Jews from admittance, owing to the presence of “Nazi and K K K organizations”, the same types of groups who repeatedly stereotype the “Jew practicing medicine. ” Includes original laid-in ‘business reply envelope’ of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The Conference on Jewish Relations was later known as the Conference on Jewish Social Studies; the Conference published the journal Jewish Social Studies. Subjects: Jewish physicians. Two listings on OCLC (HUC, UT Austin) . Clean and fresh. Very good + condition. (LB-5-34) Stock number: 30758.

List of Officers include Hyman Gratz officiating as Gabay and Reader Rev. Isaac Leeser. Also includes a List of 42 Members. “In August, 1829, Leeser arrived in Philadelphia with….fresh ideas about his new job. Until that time, a hazzan in America mostly led the congregation in Hebrew prayers….Leeser was aware however that Rev. Gershom Mendes Seixas, the synagogue's first rabbi and congregation founder had delivered sermons in English on occasion, as had Rev. Solomon Nunes Carvalho….Leeser helped to transform the lectern into the pulpit. On June 2, 1830, Leeser delivered his first English sermon. Thereafter he preached with regularity, though on sufferance only, until June 18, 1843 [the same year he founded the Occident], when the congregation formally accepted the sermon as regular. Leeser's practice of delivering sermons on a regular basis was ultimately adopted by American congregations, and preaching became one of the standard duties of Jewish clergymen” (Wikipedia)Congregation Mikveh Israel, "The Hope of Israel," was founded in 1740 in Philadelphia, and was led for many years by the bastion of American Orthodoxy, Isaac Leeser. It has a two-fold tradition, that is, the synthesis of the Spanish-Portuguese Jewish ritual and the ongoing development of the American-Jewish community. During the War of Independence, Jews from New York, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Lancaster and Easton fled to Philadelphia seeking refuge from the British. In 1780, Rev. Gershom Mendes Seixas, Hazan (Minister) of Congregation Shearith Israel in New York, came to Philadelphia and became its religious leader. During his tenure, he was instrumental in establishing the form of prayer and organizational structure in the Spanish-Portuguese tradition which remain today.

Imprint: Vilna: Farlag Yidishe Kooperative Folksbibliotek, 1925 1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 12mo, [104] pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as, “Laws About Cooperatives.” 1 of 1000 copies printed. “Serie II No. 1. Handbikher.” By 1906, “across the Pale of Settlement….there were already 58 savings and loan funds (Yid., lay kase or shpar kase), and in the following two years, 280 additional funds were created. By 1915, there were 699 funds across the Russian Empire, with 450,000 members, more than 90 percent of whom were Jewish. Since to be eligible for membership one had to be the head of a household, it is estimated that about half of Russian Jews were members of a savings and loan fund…. World War I destroyed or at least silenced the cooperative organizations that extended petty credit. Between 1919 and 1920, attempts were made, especially in the Vilna region, to rehabilitate the lay kase and shpar kase, as well as the cooperative banks. In 1921, the Zwiazek Zydowskich Towarzystw Spóldzielczych w Polsce (Union of Jewish Cooperative Societies) was founded in Warsaw. This organization enjoyed the full support of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the ICA. Partisan organizations, professionals, and groups of people with political aims or interests also established credit cooperatives, which were sometimes called 'communal banks' or 'popular banks.' All of these cooperatives extended loans to their members to be repaid in the short to medium term. The credit societies that extended small to moderate loans proved exceedingly resilient and succeeded in withstanding the Polish fiscal crisis of 1923. However, the Great Depression led to a decline (see Table 1). During the 1930s, cooperative organizations suffered hardships because of the significant impoverishment of those classes in Jewish society (mainly artisans and petty merchants) to which they would provide credit on easy terms. Numbers of members, independent capital, and the sum total of the deposits diminished considerably….Jewish mutual loan societies in Lithuania were called ‘popular banks.’ A well-developed and well-organized system, they recorded their best year in 1931 when the consortium of banks claimed a membership of 23,000 Jews. In 1937 this number declined to 15,728.” (Marcos Silber in YIVO Encyclopedia). OCLC: 233372546. OCLC lists only 1 copy worldwide (NLI).
