Dear American Jewish History Friends,Volume 108 #1 is out: and for those of you who find comfort in the past, we’re pleased to warp you to January 2024 for three new essays and a spate of new reviews. Will we ever catch up? Who knows: but at this rate it appears our journal provides an alternate uncertain future that foreshadows AND backshadows, rendering time a mere construct. Think about that a moment. Then look at our cover image: a stereoscope of a women’s medical exam at Ellis Island.

Dearest AJH Reader,Breathe. It’s summer. We’ll wait. …Welcome back. Perhaps you’re just returned from the AJHS Biennial, refreshed and inspired by the latest ideas in American Jewish history scholarship. Perhaps you’re thinking about what to read first in that stack of (virtual?) materials you’ve been setting aside for months. We hope you place the latest issue of American Jewish History, featuring George Washington and his steed on the front cover, near the top. Why? It will bring back memories.

We are at an extraordinary moment in our nation’s history — an opportunity to make leaps forward in the health, wealth and happiness of the American people. We also have a problem: Seizing this opportunity requires a more highly educated populace. Yet many citizens don’t take advantage of our country’s world-leading higher education system. First, some facts. The data continues to show that a college degree pays off financially.

Dear AJH Readers,If the chickens on the front cover of our latest issue could talk, they would say a lot about American Jewish history. Even as images, however, they offer an important entry into to the first two essays’ complementary accounts of Jewish farming communities in the 1930s and 1940s. The first essay, by Daniel Rosenblatt, brings us deep into the history of the present-day leafy Borough of Roosevelt, New Jersey.

The liberal arts are suffering from a perception problem right now. Those perceptions ignore the facts. An analysis of job postings — many for high-paying occupations — from 2018-19 performed by Project Lead the Way and Burning Glass Technologies found that 64% of open jobs required at least one of these five competencies: communication, critical thinking, teamwork, empathy and mindfulness. These durable skills are the foundation of a liberal arts curriculum.
