She juggled raising a family while helping Abraham conduct business. He gave Abigail legal control of his enterprises when he died, and they flourished under her leadership as never before. Because Abigail never remarried, she maintained her agency. She expanded the land holdings she inherited from her husband exponentially. She also ran a popular tavern that served as an important meeting place for businesspeople and political figures. The tavern used products from her plantations, and the plantations also provided building materials for her urban real estate investments. A patriot during the American Revolution, she fled to Charleston while the British occupied Georgia. Yet her political and business contacts shielded her property in Georgia from confiscation. Informed by the important role of women in the family economy over generations, her blending of agriculture and business is an important illustration of key themes in this essay: in a region dominated by a cash-crop farming economy, the Jews who pursued agriculture did so almost always in line with their regular commercial activities.","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"143 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47853800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ira Robinson traces the evolution of Orthodoxy in Cleveland up to 1940 and finds the movement, as elsewhere, beset with problems, from a lack of interest on the part of the younger generation to internal strife to battles over kashrut certification. His essay ends before the arrival of the Telshe Yeshiva, whose leaders fled Lithuania and reestablished in Cleveland in 1941; it would have been interesting to learn how the renowned institution affected the existing Orthodox community. Engaging with current historiographical trends, Mary McCune examines the impact of feminism on the Cleveland branch of the National Council of Jewish Women and finds evidence to support recent scholarship challenging the “first wave” and “second wave” narrative in favor of a “more complex and multidimensional” story (123). She reminds us that it is necessary to look beyond the coasts to get a true picture of how American Jewish women acted to advance women’s rights through the decades. Finally, two essays focus on singular—and singularly different—personalities. Samantha Baskind’s piece on much-admired comic book writer Harvey Pekar describes how he expressed his firm commitment to both his Jewishness and “Clevelandness” in his work and compares the irascible Pekar to the more famous Cleveland Jewish comic book writers Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, creators of Superman (90). She also explores what Pekar’s local (posthumous) popularity says about his hometown. Zohar Segev takes on the life and career of notable Cleveland rabbi and Zionist Abba Hillel Silver, integrating Silver’s roles as both a Cleveland Jewish leader and an influential actor on the world stage. He concludes that Silver’s local political work was “essential to his success in establishing and wielding the ‘Jewish vote’ in America” (116).","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"94 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44687520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
