They are meant to summarize the state of knowledge in any given field and convey it to both the layperson and the scholar in a clear, concise manner. For Jews and Judaism, the first major effort in this regard was the Jewish Encyclopedia of 1906, which drew upon the knowledge of a cadre of European and American scholars of the Science of Judaism (Wissenschaft des Judentums). Its successor the German Encyclopaedia Judaica began to appear in 1929 but was interrupted in 1934 by the rise of Nazism. It had only reached the end of the letter L. After the war, efforts resumed which resulted in the production of two major encyclopedias, The Hebrew Encyclopaedia Hebraica (ha-Entsiklopedyah ha-‘Ivrit), completed in 1982, and the English Encyclopaedia Judaica (henceforth EJ1), which first appeared in 1971 followed by a corrected edition in 1972. Both works were published in Israel and are considered to be major achievements. The latter used a lot of material from both its German and Hebrew predecessors.","PeriodicalId":81746,"journal":{"name":"Judaica librarianship","volume":"46 9 1","pages":"195-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66841859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stempler","doi":"10.14263/2330-2976.1009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14263/2330-2976.1009","url":null,"abstract":"Isaac Edward Kiev (1905–1975), former Chief Librarian of New York’s Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, spent a lifetime facilitating Jewish research. This article, based on the author’s Master’s thesis on Kiev, focuses on his contributions to the founding of Jewish book and library organizations during the American post-war era, including the Association of Jewish Libraries, Jewish Book Council of America, Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc., and numerous Jewish book foundations in the United States and Israel. In addition to providing insight into the creation of these associations, the article illustrates the parallel development of the fields of Judaica librarianship and Jewish Studies in academia. Kiev’s legacy continues into the twenty-first century through his lasting influence on his profession as well as the I. Edward Kiev Judaica Collection at the George Washington University. The life of Isaac Edward Kiev met a tragic yet poignant end when he had a heart attack while carrying books from his car up to the library of New York’s Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR).1 Kiev’s entire life was surrounded by books, as a librarian facilitating learning and scholarship, and as a leader in Jewish book and library organizations. In addition to his fifty years at HUC-JIR’s library, Kiev served as chaplain for Jewish patients at the Sea View Hospital in Staten Island (a tuberculosis sanitarium), and later as pulpit rabbi at Congregation Habonim, a synagogue built by German Jewish refugees in 1939. Kiev was by all accounts a private person and did not leave behind a great deal of writings, sermons, or personal records. In fact, most of what is known 137 J U D A I C A L I B R A R I A N S H I P V O L S . 16/17 2011 1 Kiev died on November 3, 1975. about his activities comes from archival records of Jewish book and library organizations. Therefore, this essay is not intended to be a comprehensive biographical review of Kiev’s life, but should serve as a historical mirror reflecting the development and growth of American Judaica librarianship and its professional organizations during the post-war period following World War II. Stephen S. Wise, the Jewish icon of the progressive Reform movement and the founder of the Jewish Institute of Religion (JIR), would be a constant presence in Kiev’s life from the beginning of their association in 1924 when Kiev was nineteen years old. Wise believed there was a need for a non-denominational Jewish seminary, particularly in New York City, which had the greatest concentration of Jews in the country. He especially wanted to create an alternative to Hebrew Union College (HUC), the only Reform rabbinical seminary, which was officially non-Zionist and often viewed as hostile to the idea of a Jewish State. The pluralistic spirit of the Institute embodied the concept of Kelal Yisra’el, which had a lasting effect on Kiev. Kiev was accepted by the Institute as a “special student” due to","PeriodicalId":81746,"journal":{"name":"Judaica librarianship","volume":"16 1","pages":"137-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66841787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Families have continually passed down these traditions from one generation to the next as a means to preserve Jewish culture as well as to maintain their Jewish identity. The authors propose that one of the methods of preserving and transmitting these culinary traditions, traditions clearly rooted in oral tradition, has been through the cookbook. While the written cookbook continues to be popular and marketable, traditional cookbook contents are becoming increasingly available online. In saving recipes for future generations, cookbooks preserve religious, cultural, and traditional elements of Jewish life. As important as it is for Jewish libraries to consider the value of cookbooks in preserving Judaism, non-Jewish libraries, from academic to public, and from K-12 to special, can also share in this mission. Passing cookbooks down through genera- tions not only strengthens culinary cuisine and traditions, but also preserves memories, both familial and religious.","PeriodicalId":81746,"journal":{"name":"Judaica librarianship","volume":"16 1","pages":"149-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66841843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
