Excerpt from Report of the Executive Committee, Presented at the First Annual Convention of the Jewish Community (Kehillah): New York, February 26 and 27, 1910
In the name of your Executive Committee, I have the honor of welcoming you to this, our first convention, since our establishment as a Kehillah. As is but natural, some of our former delegates have seen fit to withdraw; but on the other hand, we are glad to have with us the delegates of many organizations not hitherto affiliated with us. In accord with our endeavor to bring about unity between Jews of all kinds, we may regard it as a good omen that we are privileged to welcome, for the first time, I believe, in communal affairs, an organization of Jews hailing from the Ottoman Empire.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the Executive Committee's activities and the reports of various sub committees within the first year after the establishment of the Kehillah, the Jewish communal organization of New York City. The Kehillah sought to bring together a Jewish community that, as a product of immigration and disaggregated across New York, lacked unity. This book provides a snapshot of the Kehillah's efforts to effect that unity through organizing religious activities, social and philanthropic work, educational programs, and advocacy. It also includes the keynote speech delivered by the Executive Committee chair at the Kehillah's first annual convention. Together, these reports provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives, concerns, and aspirations of the Jewish community in New York at the turn of the 20th century, and touches on the challenges and opportunities for a diverse group of people striving to define and maintain their identity as both Jews and New Yorkers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
