Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds,Community Councils

THIS DIRECTORY is one of a series compiledannually by the Council of Jewish Federa-

tions and Welfare Funds. Virtually all ofthese community organizations are affiliatedwith the Council as their national associa-tion for sharing of common services, inter-change of experience, and joint consultationand action.

These communities comprise at least 95per cent of the Jewish population of theUnited States and about 90 per cent of theJewish population of Canada. Listed for eachcommunity is the local central agency—fed-eration, welfare fund, or community council—with its address and the names of the presi-dent and executive officer.

The names "federation," "welfare fund,"and "Jewish community council" are notdefinitive and their structures and functionsvary from city to city. What is called a federa-tion in one city, for example, may be called

a community council in another. In the mainthese central agencies have responsibility forsome or all of the following functions: (a)raising of funds for local, national, and over-seas services; (b) allocation and distributionof funds for these purposes; (c) coordinationand central planning of local services, such asfamily welfare, child care, health, recreation,community relations within the Jewish com-munity and with the general community, Jew-ish education, care of the aged, and vocationalguidance, to strengthen these services, elimi-nate duplication, and fill gaps; (d) in smalland some intermediate cities, direct adminis-tration of local social services.

In the directory, the following symbols areused:

(1) Member agency of the Council ofJewish Federations and Welfare Funds.

Albert Einstein

j i HE FAME of Albert Einstein was made up of three strands. There was firstJL the scientific achievement, which was and will remain the inner core of

his reputation. Second was the change in philosophic outlook which hebrought to this century, and which made relativity an everyday word. Andthird was the wide humanity, the sympathy with the best in all men, whichin his later years made his own name more familiar a word even than rela-tivity.

These three strands were not separate in Einstein's mind; the professionalscientist was not insulated from the philosopher, nor the philosopher fromthe man. Einstein was a single personality, who looked with the same directand penetrating vision at science, at the world, and at men, so that every-thing that he did has an unforced unity. If his character and his achievementcan be summed up in one word, the word is "single-minded."

In all that he did, Einstein was a thinker. And he proved in all he didthat the life of the mind does not atrophy the human conscience. He wassomething more than a great man; he was a whole man. His life was as singleas his mind.

Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in South Germany on March14, 1879. His father did not do well in business, and tried to do better bymoving first to Switzerland and later to Italy. The boy Albert ran away fromthe German school where he had been left, because he disliked its discipline.Even then he was already much occupied with his own questions about na-ture. In some autobiographical notes that Einstein wrote towards the end ofhis life, he recalls two such boyhood memories. One was his fascination atseeing, when he was only four or five, a compass needle steadily pointingnorth however it was moved about: at that moment, he says, he grasped thatthe laws of nature are universal. The other was his being given a geometrybook when he was about ten, and from it making up for himself a proof ofthe famous theorem of Pythagoras.

The young Einstein went to college in Switzerland, but he was not out-standing there, and he continued to be more absorbed in his own specula-tions than in the official syllabus in physics. He did not get a university postafter he had taken his degree, and instead he had to take a job as a minorofficial in the Swiss patent office. He went on doing his own thinking in theevenings, and he was still working in the Swiss patent office when he pub-lished his first great papers in 1905.

This was the annus mirabilis, the wonderful year in which the young man

° f ^ ^ E i n s t e i n ' s c a r e e r ' see AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK,

ALBERT EINSTEIN 481

of twenty-six wrote papers which made remarkable advances in three separatebranches of physics. Two of these papers are concerned, in different ways,with the behavior of the world on its smallest scale—a single atom of matter,a single photon of light. It had recently been shown that these tiny events donot behave in the smooth and continuous manner of the larger events withwhich we are familiar in everyday life; and Einstein's papers were among thefirst to elucidate the strange laws of the small scale. Einstein continued to bea pioneer in the understanding of the new laws of the microscopic world forthe next ten years, and this was the work for which he was given the NobelPrize in 1921.

But of course the outstanding paper in 1905 was the third, in which Ein-stein set out the theory of relativity. Here the searching mind could be seenat work, looking simply and directly into our experience of nature, so thatfrom this fundamental examination the bold conclusions flowed of them-selves. The paper became widely known at once, and made Einstein notmerely a scientific but an intellectual leader. He made a deep impression onhis fellow scientists at what have become historic meetings in 1909 and 1911.He held professorships at Prague and then in Switzerland, and by 1914 aspecial post had in effect been created for him as director of the Kaiser Wil-helm Research Institute for Physics in Berlin.

The life of a thinker cannot be separated from his thought, and we shallnot enter the personality of Einstein if we do not take some pains to followthe way in which he thought. We must therefore pause in his biography andlook into his mind as it faced the world of physics at that time.

The world of physics was running fairly well, but there were some excep-tions, small but irritating, which nagged at the peace of mind of morethoughtful scientists. True, the triumphant laws in which Isaac Newton,more than two hundred years before, had given order to nature could still betested, day in and day out, and found right almost everywhere. But only al-most everywhere: there were three exceptions. The planet Mercury was notquite keeping time. The speed of light refused to behave as classical physicsexpected. And the electrons which had been discovered recently seemed tochange their mass as they changed their speed. These could of course betaken as three minor irregularities, and most physicists took them so. Theycould not ignore them, but for the most part they were content to look forsmall ways to tinker with Newton's laws so that they might cover theseexceptions.

The minor adjustments were not getting physics forward, and it is charac-teristic that Einstein never had any truck with them. From the outset helooked for no ingenious gloss on the laws of physics, and for no minute errorof formulation. Instead, he set himself to reach the unwritten assumptions onwhich the laws themselves were built, and it was there that he looked for theflaw in the physics of his day.

Put in scientific terms, these assumptions were that space and time aregiven to us absolutely. They are, as it were, fixed boxes in which the eventsof the world occur, and they are the same for every observer. Put more gen-erally, the assumptions take for granted that there exists a sharp division be-tween the observer and the natural world which he observes. Classical physics


saw nature as a chain or network of events which unrolls itself in imper-turbable sequence, and of which the observer is a witness but not a link.

What Einstein from the outset asked about this majestic view was notwhether it is tenable, in some abstract sense—whether it can be metaphysi-cally defended—but whether it is practical. Does science in fact record im-personal events? Can it separate the fact from the finding, and distill theevent from our observation of it? Once the question is asked, the answer isplain; and the answer is, No. Physics as we actually practice it does not con-sist of events; it consists of observations. And between the event and thosewho observe it there must pass a signal, a ray of light perhaps, a wave or animpulse, which simply cannot be taken out of the observation. Event, signal,and observation: this is the relationship which Einstein recognized as thefundamental unit in physics. Relativity is the understanding of the worldnot as events but as relations.

Something like this had been said by philosophers for some time: that sci-ence must get rid of abstractions and make its system only out of what is infact observed. Einstein himself acknowledged his intellectual debt to otherphilosophers who had looked realistically at the way in which the proceduresof science are carried out. But it is one thing to lay down a philosophic dic-tum about science, and another to persuade the man in the laboratory orwith the slide rule that such speculations really have a bearing on his work.Einstein was the first practising scientist who took this philosophy seriously,as something more than a pious impractical hope. He put it into equations,and within a few years physicists were astonished to find that it explainedthe erratic behavior of Mercury, and predicted the bending of light near thesun. It had linked mass with energy from Einstein's first papers.

There are thus two characteristics to be remarked in Einstein's thought.One is that it always reaches down to fundamentals: it is a searching thought.The other is that it is always looking for relations; it is a unifying thought.This is the rare combination which marks the greatest minds. Lesser minds,when they are searching, usually find differences and not likenesses; andwhen they are unifying minds, they usually cover only the surface of severalsubjects. It is the remarkable achievement of Einstein that, looking always atfundamentals, he discovered new unities between space and time, betweenmass and energy, and between gravity and the behavior of his own space-time.

The last of these unities was put forward by Einstein in the more generaltheory of relativity which he published in 1915. Before this, however, thefirst world war had broken out, and it involved Einstein in a battle withauthority which was characteristic of, and perhaps influenced, his whole life.

When war broke out in 1914, the German government was anxious tomuster intellectual support for its ambition, and it put pressure on its lead-ing men to make a public statement on its behalf. Eighty-three of the leadersin science and the arts were persuaded to sign a manifesto in support of theGerman actions, which was addressed "an die Kulturwelt." The list of thosewho signed makes sad reading; Einstein did not sign. He and three othersissued a countermanifesto against militarism. He was then, as he always was

ALBERT EINSTEIN 485

afterwards, fearless in his love of peace; and then as afterwards, Germanpatriots did not forgive him.

Even as a young man, Einstein had chosen to take Swiss rather than Ger-man nationality when he had the chance, because the regimentation of Ger-many had outraged him. He chose to become a German again after the de-feat and the revolution of 1918 as a gesture of support to the new WeimarRepublic Alas, the Weimar Republic did little to save him from attack, ontwo flanks, when the fame of his work made him a public figure after 1919.

The history of these years is absorbing, and throws its shadow over Ein-stein's career. In 1914, he was outstanding among young scientists, somethingof an innocent and an enfant terrible, and an acknowledged leader. His repu-tation, however, lay only among scientists; no one else had heard of him.

In 1915 he published the general theory of relativity. The fundamentalconcept which he examined here was that of force. He pointed out that wehave no way of telling whether a bullet which flies past the sun is reallydrawn towards it by a force of gravity, or whether the sun distorts the space-time in which it flies. The force of gravity is something that we invent inorder to explain the behavior of things near massive bodies such as the sunand the earth. Einstein was always suspicious of such explanations, and hecould show that physics would be more unified if gravity were replaced by adistortion of space-time.

It is of course an attractive picture to say that a massive body, such as thesun, distorts the space-time in which it lies; it forms, as it were, a hollowround itself, and when a bullet flies past the sun, it slips into this hollow.But if this is to be meaningful, it must be more than a picture. If what itdescribes is truly a distortion of space and time, then everything which crossesthe sun's hollow must be drawn inwards; not only a bullet but a ray of lightas well. This exciting implication can be put to practical test, and Englishscientists (although they were then at war with Germany) at once planned todo so at the next total eclipse, which would occur in the spring of 1919. Theyannounced their findings in November 1919, at one of the most dramaticmeetings ever held at the Royal Society in London. The findings talliedwith Einstein's forecast. Light does bend towards the sun, and by approxi-mately the amount which the general theory of relativity predicted. Einsteinhad made gravitation a behavior of space and time; and space and time, in re-venge, overnight made him a public figure for the world to quarrel over.

On one side, of course, were the rising Nazis. To them, the world repu-tation of a Swiss Jew with pacifist ideas was particularly hateful, and theywere sure that it must be false. At the very time when Einstein was winninga new respect for German science, they maligned him in fantastic ways, andmade scenes whenever he appeared in public. When the city of Berlin pre-sented him with a lakeside house, they made it impossible for him to livethere. Einstein was "un-German"—the phrase has a familiar ring—and every-thing that he did was suspect.

At the same time, there was an equally noisy attack from the nationalistson the other side, across the Rhine. To Frenchmen with bitter memories ofthe long and bloody war, Einstein was a German scientist—a German ofwhom too much fuss was being made. When he went to lecture in Paris in


1922, he had to be hidden from French nationalists for fear that they woulddemonstrate against him. Nevertheless, he gave his lectures; and those whospeak of his visit recall with pleasure that, as always, he brought his violinand played quartets with his fellow scientists.

In the face of these feuds, Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in1921. The cautious awarding committee avoided at least some of the disputesby making no reference to relativity in their citation. About this time, Ein-stein gave a casual press interview in which he said, with his characteristicmixture of foresight and humor, that he could think of two future discov-eries which might threaten mankind with annihilation: the discovery ofatomic energy, and the discovery of how to read other people's thoughts.

Work in Europe became more and more difficult for him, but he would notbe deflected from his outspoken support of the ideals of liberal tolerance.At last, the power of Hitler made life impossible in Germany, and Einsteincrossed the Atlantic to America in 1933. Seven years later, the Germans werein Paris, and the French nationalists who had once reviled him were openlycollaborating with them.

Einstein worked at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1932 almostuntil the day of his death, which occurred on April 18, 1955. His aim waswhat it had always been, to unify the different parts of physics in a singletheory; he published his last Unified Field Theory in 1954. And to the endof his life, his method remained what it had been in his youth: to reachthis unity by examining not the surface but the fundamentals of physicalthought. He remained as simple, as searching, and as modest a worker in•his seventies as he had been in his twenties.

To the world, however, his life in America was dominated by somethingelse than science. He had been a heroic figure since the countermanifestoagainst German imperialism in 1914, and in America he was the symbol andthe champion of international idealism. Everyone wanted his help, and henever stinted it. He took a lead in bringing scientists and other men in needfrom Germany. He was particularly active in helping refugee students and•children. And at all times his greatest anxiety was for oppressed Jews every-where. For them he was willing to do the things which were most difficultfor him: to plead for funds, to auction a manuscript, and once even to playhis violin in public. He constantly worked for the United Jewish Appeal,and thereby did much to make it so important a success.

The approach of the second world war put him to an even more severetest of conscience. Early in 1939, a number of refugee physicists privately dis-cussed with him recent discoveries which made it likely that the energy inthe atom could be released explosively. These discoveries were known inGermany; indeed, some of them had been made there; and Einstein had nowto ask himself what might happen if Hitler had the monopoly of them. Upto this time he had been a pacifist. Now it seemed to him that, like otherdoctrines, pacifism had to be looked at afresh to see whether it fitted thefacts of the world as it then was. On August 2, 1939, Einstein broke with alifetime of pacifist belief as only he could have done. He wrote to tell Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt what his colleagues had told him, and that inhis view it meant that an atomic bomb might be made. And he advised

ALBERT EINSTEIN 485

Roosevelt that, since work on atomic fission was in progress (ironically, at theKaiser Wilhelm Institute) in Berlin, it must be feared that the Germanswould try to make such a bomb. The marvelous youth who at twenty-six hadfirst equated mass with energy now at sixty saw the equation threaten theworld.

Einstein lived his last years quietly in a suburban house in a suburban streetin Princeton. He was saddened by the events in which the last war endedand which followed it. Towards the end of his life he said of his letter toRoosevelt: "Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producingan atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger." Yet he was in no doubtthat, under the looming threat of Nazi tyranny in 1939, he had made theonly choice open to a man of conscience.

He gave his support now specifically to places of learning: the HebrewUniversity of Jerusalem, the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Albert Ein-stein Medical Center in Philadelphia, and the Yeshiva University College ofMedicine. One greater honor he refused. On the death of his fellow scientistChaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel, he refused the Presidency ofIsrael which was offered to him, on the grounds that he had "neither thenatural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings."

Yet he was endlessly good-humored and happy with human beings. He waspatient even with the many strangers who sneaked up to his front porch andhad their wives photograph them as if they were just coming out of the greatman's house. If Einstein had any impatience left, it was to the end, as it hadalways been, impatience with authority and the intolerance that he sawgrowing about him.

Einstein was one of the intellectual heroes of history; and all such heroesare twofold—rebels in their work, and heretics in society. He made all hisbeliefs, even his religious beliefs, for himself; they were not the beliefs ac-cepted by others, yet they share a universal idealism and faith in men. Heprized the integrity of man's personality more highly than man's science. Hesaw deeply into nature, her promise and her threat, but he was not too ab-stracted to remember the fallibility of men. For him the key to the worldlay in the minds of men. He fought for freedom of the mind from hisrebellious schooldays and the manifesto of 1914 to his dying day. His lovefor freedom was passionate, but it was part of a greater passion for all whosuffered. He loved people; he loved his own people.
