Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds,Community Councils

THIS DIRECTORY is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish Federationsand Welfare Funds. It includes over 600 communities, virtually all of which are affiliated

with the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, their national association forsharing of common services, interchange of experience, and joint consultation and action.This number compares with 305 communities in the 1943 directory, and reflects the develop-ment of Jewish communal organization in American.

These communities comprise at least 95 per cent of the Jewish population of the UnitedStates and about 90 per cent of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each commu-nity is the local central agency—federation, welfare fund, or community council—with itsaddress and the names of the president and executive director.

The names "federation," "welfare fund," and "Jewish community council" are not defini-tive and their structures and functions vary from city to city. What is called a federation inone city, for example, may be called a community council in another. In the main thesecentral agencies have responsibility for some or all of the following functions: (a) raisingof funds for local, national, and overseas services; (b) allocation and distribution of fundsfor these purposes; (c) co-ordination and central planning of local services, such as familywelfare, child care, health, recreation, community relations within the Jewish communityand with the general community, Jewish education, care of the aged, and vocational guidance,eliminating duplication and filling in gaps in service; (d) in small and some intermediatecities, direct administration of local social services.

In the directory, the following symbols are used:(J) Member agency of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.(2) Receives support from Community Chest.

ABRAHAM CAHAN1

WHEN Abraham Cahan came to the United States in 1882 the entireJewish population of this country was no more than one-quarter of a

million. When he died in 1951 at the age of ninety-one, the AmericanJewish community had grown to approximately 5,000,000. As the editor ofthe influential Jewish Daily Forward, Abraham Cahan was one of those out-standing individuals who played a significant role in the development ofthe largest Jewish community in the world.

Cahan was one of that group of young Jewish idealists who fled Russiaafter the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, and the ascension of AlexanderIII to the throne. The wave of pogroms that flooded Russia during the early1880's brought the ardent Jewish university students to the unhappy con-clusion that there was no hope for them in Russia. They were swept intotwo new movements which came in time to determine the fate of worldJewry: Am Olam, and BILU. The Am Olam movement attempted to con-vince Russian Jewry of the necessity of departing en masse for the UnitedStates, where Jews could live as free citizens, and devote their energies tomore productive labor than was possible under the narrow conditions oflife in Russia. BILU also urged Russian Jews to emigrate—but to Palestinewhere they could build a national home. Out of these two movements theredeveloped in the course of time the two most important phenomena ofcontemporary Jewish life: the American Jewish community, and the stateof Israel.

Abraham Cahan belonged to the Am Olam movement, the radical avante-garde of that mass immigration that began to stream into the United Statesfrom Russia in the 1880's. He was one of those Russian Jewish pioneeremigrants who came to the United States not in search of wealth or materialgain, but to enrich their personal lives.

Abraham Cahan was a life-long Socialist and Socialist leader. But he wasnever one of those fanatical partisans who cling to outworn dogma, regardlessof reality. He expressed in his Socialist activity the same level-headed realismas in his fiction. As he himself put it, on the occasion of a jubilee celebrationin honor of the Jewish Daily Forward, Cahan's slogan was, "Socialism plusCommon Sense."

Abraham Cahan's name is always associated with that of the Jewish DailyForward, the New York Yiddish daily. For, in addition to being one of thefifty-one who founded the Forward, from 1897 on, Cahan was, except for abrief interval, its chief editor. It was under his editorship that the Forwardbecame the largest, most popular, and most influential Jewish newspaper in

the world. A good deal of the Forward's success may be attributed to Cahan'sflexibility and enterprise; he attracted to the Forward the best journalistsand writers, regardless of their political affiliation. During the first half ofthe twentieth century there was not a single Jewish literary man of impor-tance who did not contribute to the Forward. Nor was Cahan content to pub-lish authors with established reputations. He personally aided in the develop-ment of new, hitherto unknown writers. And he was largely responsible forthe importance given to belles lettres in the contemporary American Yiddishpress.

A man of strong character and temperament, Abraham Cahan devotedhimself heart and soul to the task of editing the Forward. The scope of hisinterests was broad; there was not a single problem in Jewish and general lifein the United States and abroad which was foreign to the pages of the For-ward. The story of the Forward is that of Abraham Cahan's enthusiasms.Even his staunchest opponents were forced to recognize his moral fervor. Thepower of his intellect, disciplined by the responsibility of editorship, produceda personal influence which goes far to explain the importance of the Forward.

Abraham Cahan paid dear for this accomplishment. For, in becoming agreat editor, he sacrificed the artist in him. And he was an artist, first andforemost. His literary works, written in English, attest to his potentialities,recognized by the best critics of American literary in his fine novel, The Riseof David Levinsky. Had it not been for his great drive for power and influ-ence, Abraham Cahan would have occupied a prominent place in Americanliterature. For the first five years of his life in the United States, Cahan wasan English journalist and writer. His autobiographical Bleter fun mayn Lebn("Leaves out of my Life") contain several very interesting anecdotes abouthis literary acquaintances and meetings during that period.

Abraham Cahan represented a complete epoch in Jewish life in the UnitedStates. Some of the most dramatic moments in American Jewish history ofthe past seventy years are associated with his name: the organization andunionization of the exploited workers, the Americanization of Jewish immi-grants, the blooming of the Yiddish theatre. As a popularizer extraordinary,Abraham Cahan devoted himself to teaching the man on the street, inform-ing thousands of immigrants, of the facts and possibilities of American life.

Cahan showed his indomitable spirit in his battle against Communism inthe United States. At a time when fellow-traveling was very much the fashion,Cahan took up the cudgels against Communism. Though the future of theForward seemed threatened by this unpopular course, he refused to allowhimself to be diverted.

Abraham Cahan was also to a certain extent responsible for the popularJewish interest in the building of a national homeland for Jews in Palestine.In 1925 Cahan traveled to Palestine for the first time. When he began to ex-press his admiration for the accomplishments of the Jewish colonists in hiswritings, he was sharply attacked in Socialist circles, where opposition toZionism was then axiomatic. But he was not to be deflected, and eventuallykindled the Jewish labor movement with his own enthusiasm for Palestine.In the course of time Jewish labor in the United States became among theactive supporters of Jewish labor in Palestine.

ABRAHAM CAHAN 529

Nor did Cahan lack courage when his common sense told him that Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was a harbinger of a more liberalepoch in the history of the United States. After considerable reflection hecame to the conclusion that the New Deal represented the beginning of thefulfillment of conditions which Socialists had long been advocating. When hewas sure in his mind that this was so, Cahan came out for Roosevelt and theNew Deal in the Forward. His action created a furore in Socialist circles,where it was considered apostasy. There was even talk of suspending Cahanfrom the Socialist party. But he was not to be intimidated, and held to hiscourse. In time Abraham Cahan's judgment was proven correct.

Like every strong person who is sure of his position, and acts accordingly,Cahan had many opponents. Often the charges levelled against him werejustified. He was charged with catering to the masses and not lending theForward to the battle in behalf of a Yiddish educational system and the Yid-dish language. But he was certain that he understood the facts of the situ-ation better than his detractors. As a popularizer he was a strong advocate ofsimplification, particularly since the Jewish immigrants who were his audi-ence had received no systematic education. When after a time he perceivedthat Yiddish education was a possibility in the United States, he changed hisposition, and enrolled the Forward in the struggle for it.

Abraham Cahan was so involved in his literary, journalistic, and politicalactivity that he had no time for a personal life in the usual sense. Thoughhis fame was widespread, he was a lonely and unhappy man. But his was thesublime solitude of the great man.

In a letter to Sholem Asch, urging him to give up the notion of writing anovel about Jesus, Cahan once remarked that he was an experienced editorand an experienced Jew. He believed that the experience of Jewish historytaught that it was dangerous to renew the ancient debates over the relationbetween Judaism and Christianity with which apostates used to bait Jewishscholars during the Middle Ages.

Cahan's funeral was attended by more than ten thousand persons. Twogovernments were represented among those who delivered funeral orations:United States Secretary of Labor, Maurice Tobin, and the Ambassador of theState of Israel, Abba Eban. Thus, the two streams that flowed through Abra-ham Cahan's life were united at his close: BILU, the call for a Jewish na-tional homeland in Palestine, and Am Olam, the promise to an eternalpeople that they need not lose hope, for a great new Jewish community couldflourish in the land of democracy and freedom, the United States.
