From Past to Present: Notes From the History of Jewish Education in Boston

Abstract: Almost a decade has passed since the Report of the Study Committee on the Bureau of Jewish Education was presented to the Executive Committee of the Combined Jewish Philanthrophies of Greater Boston. The Study Committee had been appointed in December 1971 upon the recommendation of the Social Planning and Allocations Committee of the CJP “… to study the functions and structure of the Bureau of Jewish Education; to prepare recommendations with respect to the Bureau's future role and its relationship with all the institutions providing Jewish educational services to the community …”1 The focus of that mandate was shifted somewhat by the Study Committee which early in its work had concluded “… that community purposes would better be served by a study of the role and functions of a central agency as these relate to the Jewish educational needs of the community and its institution rather than [by] an in-depth evaluative study of the Bureau of Jewish Education's current function and activities.”2

Half a Century in Jewish Education

Abstract: I — Reminiscences Deuteronomy 32:7 Back in 1925, upon graduation from the Teachers Institute of Yeshiva University, I started my career as teacher in the first and oldest Talmud Torah in the United States, the Machzikey TT on East Broadway in Manhattan. I recall with pleasure how boys and girls spent ten hours a week in Jewish studies: giving the 12-13 year olds intensive instruction in Torah, Neviim, Mishnah, Hebrew Grammar, Hebrew Literature and Yiddish. For many years the Machzikey TT had a school enrollment of one thousand students and more. When the '30s came and the enrollment fell considerably, it became necessary to consolidate the school with the National Hebrew School, especially when the Downtown TT closed it doors.
