judgement from your standpoint of letting in people that are screwy
and "Darrin" who is the guy who believes that New York is more Jewish
than Tel-Aviv is pissy that he is getting raw deal that Henry is not
letting his posts in..... Pssst.... Mods are just human....At least we
are not listening to the Ben Cramer/Ron Goldman personality on this
forum... >>Fer pete sake... >>
DoD, it's not a BS thing to say! Under the principles of the First
Amendment, I (like others) am entitled to my own beliefs. If I want to
kvell New York Jewish History for 24/7, I have that right! NY Jewish
History is part of World Jewish History & Culture. Ironically, had I
responded to your above off-topic post, my message would have been
rejected. This is called bias censorship! I do not have to curtail my
speech, because you or someone else happens to suffer from ultra-
sensitive frailties! Self-assured and knowing people do not kvetch
over the rightful praising of Jewish NY!
DoD, are you like Susan? The Big Macher who has card blanche (aka auto-
approval status), and can say and do as she pleases? Yet when I and
others label Henry Goodman & Harry Weiss as Thought Police, you run to
their defense? Until both imbeciles are removed, I refuse to post on
SCJM! One imbecile lost his mind when he shlepped out of Jewish NY
(largest, richest, most creative Jewish community in the world), and
the other is an anti-American insular Brit, who up until a year or so
ago, did not know what the First Amendment was! LOL! Remember, this is
not an isolated incidence. There is no human error when you
continually engage in bias censorship. As for Jewish NY?
Yes, in terms of "practical Jewish history" (aka "not staring at a
wailing wall" eh), Jewish NY leaves Israel in the dust! Always has,
always will! Jewish NY was the "first" thriving Jewish community that
was giving back to the world! This is a fact! We have more Jews for
any single city, more World Jewish Organizations, more opportunities
for Jews, more shuls, more Yeshivas, more Kosher eateries, more Jewish
museums, more Jewish events, more Jewish firsts (including the World's
First Jewish Music Awards at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the
World's First Jewish Children's Museum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn),
and the most diverse Jewish community in the world. Had you lived
here, you would already know this! Once again, where else will you see
"Se Habla Yiddish" in a store window?ehee
DoD, I know you mean well, but you're a little too involved in what
"this one" says about "that one!" It borders on the bizarre!! -D, NYC
"For the past one hundred years, Jewish New York has grown into a
world center of Jewish life, Jewish thought, and Jewish power. New
York Jewry has fulfilled completely the mandate the Dutch West Indies
Company set out for Jews here 350 years ago: "not to become a
burden...but be supported by their own nation." New York now is a
leading voice of the Jewish international community" - LEADER OF WORLD
JEWRY, JEWISH NEW YORK: NOTABLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS BY
IRA WOLFMAN.."What's the First Amendment, does it have halachik
meaning, and in what way do we disregard it?" - HENRY GOODMAN
(clueless Brit/head moderator, SCJM).."FWIW the statistics for you are
1116 accepted 117 rejected. This is a rejection rate of 9.49%. While
higher than most it is hardly huge. There are posters, whom I am not
prepared to name, with higher rates." LOL! (HENRY GOODMAN responding
to a user who asked why he was not auto-approved).."It is sad that
some of you come from totalitarian regimes and do not understand the
concepts of freedom of speech and think it only applies to those you
agree with" - HARRY WEISS (co-moderator, 'King of self-
contradiction').."The Jews of New York City today make up the largest,
richest, most creative Jewish community in the world. Yet little more
than a hundred years ago, most of them were desperately poor, living
in teeming immigrant neighborhoods. How these Jews - through struggle,
education, and determination - transformed themselves and their city
is a great American success story. Jewish New Yorkers powered major
city businesses such as the garment and media industries, reinvented
Broadway theatre, and helped invent the modern labor movement. They
also won Nobel Prizes and introduced the United States to such
delights as pastrami, Egg Creams, and an intimitable form of Jewish
comedy" - GREATEST JEWISH CITY IN THE WORLD, JEWISH NY: NOTABLE
NEIGHBORHOODS & MEMORABLE MOMENTS BY IRA WOLFMAN.."It was the 1967
Arab-Israeli war, which preceded by weeks of international tension,
which really demonstrated the depth of New York Jewry's support for
the state of Israel. In a matter of a few weeks, the city's Jewish
community raised $72 million. Six years later, in response to the 1973
Israel-Arab war, the donations topped $100 million. In today's world,
in which an independent but still threatened Jewish state exists, New
York Jews know full well that their attention to the needs of World
Jewry is incredibly important. Beyond that is the community's keen
awareness that Jews the world over are linked, and that living in the
freest, most affluent Jewish society in the world does release them
from responsibility for their brothers and sisters" - LIONS & LAMBS
UNITE TO AID THE SHTETL, IBID.."New York City has for several
centuries offered a promise to the destitute and downtrodden of the
world: venture here and you too can earn a living in our highy
competitive, intensely commercial metropolis. Millions of Jews took
that challenge, found success, and along the way attempted almost
every occupation imaginable" - GOTTA EARN A DOLLAR, IBID.."Imagine,
then, that until 1825, the only synagogue in all of New York City was
Shearith Israel, the "Spanish and Portuguese congregation" that began
in 1654 with those twenty-three refugees from South America. Though
Director-General Stuyvesant begrudgingly allowed them to stay, he
forbade the Jews to pray in public, insisting that they congregate in
private home for religious worship and ceremonies. However, the
English conquered New Amsterdam (aka NY) soon afterwards, and New York
map of 1695, already included a notation for a "Jews Synagogue" -
SYNAGOGUES & CELEBRATIONS: The Place Of Prayer in New York, IBID.."New
York City offers something for every type and facet of Jewish
religious life. Unique places of worship in the city cater to Jews of
diverse national origins, linguistic traditions, styles of worship,
philosophical affiliations, and even professions. A sampling of
synagogues in Manhattan includes: Millinery Center synagogue,
Garment Center congregation, Actors Temple, Fur Center synagogue, Gay
and Lesbian synagogue, Romaniote (Greek-speakers) synagogue, Romanian-
Americans congregation, Austrian Shul, Sephardic (Levantine/Middle
Eastern) synagogue, Sephardic (Spanish & Portuguese) synagogue,
African-Hebrew congregation, Congregation for Humanistic Judaism,
Temple of Universal Judaism, Reconstructionist Society for the
Advancement of Judaism, Jewish Continuity Center Congregations of Jews
from Bialystok, Lisk, and many other towns and shtetlach" - SYNAGOGUES
& CELEBRATIONS: The Place of Prayer in New York, IBID.."At the same
time that 350,000 Jews were crammed into the bustling Lower East Side,
other "Israelites" were living a life of luxury. Only six miles north
of Hester Street, Fifth Avenue had, by the 1890s, become a
neighborhood of the fabulously wealthy, and New York's German Jewish
families were among them. The Warburgs, Kahns, Lehmanns, Guggenheims,
Schiffs, Seligmans, Strauses, and Bloomingdales had made their money
in the garment trade, financial world, department stores, cigar
business, and shipping industry. With their wealth, they built lavish
homes close to those of America's superrich, such as Carnegie and
Frick" - UPTOWN JEWS: RICH ON FIFTH AVENUE, IBID.."The extraordinary
European Jews who emigrated to New York were enriching the city's
intellectual life with an intensity that has probably never been
equaled anywhere during a comparable period of time. I was raised
largely by these Jews... They were my teachers; they were my
employers; they were my friends. They introduced me to a world of
books and ideas that I didn't know existed" - MARLON BRANDO, excerpt
from "Songs My Mother Taught Me")
