Yet time after time, they have risen to the challenges both from without and within the community, said Sarna, the former chief historian for the 350th commemoration of the American Jewish community.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking from behind an imposing podium on the stage of Nunamaker Hall at Loyola University, \u00a0the dimunutive and dynamic professor proclaimed: &#8220;I&#8217;m glad to report after 359 years, now, that the Jews are still here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The unusual Jewish studies event was held on Wednesday evening, October 30, at the Catholic (Jesuit) institution of higher learning, in the spirit of interfaith dialogue and religious outreach. Loyola&#8217;s College of Humanities and Natural Sciences co-sponsored the event in recognition of the Centennial Celebration of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans. College dean Maria Calzada; Kenneth Keulman, chairman of the Department of Religious Studies and Father James Carter, president emeritus and a distinguished professor on the faculty, \u00a0represented Loyola University at the event.<\/p>\n<p>Sarna, the Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University is also the chairman of its Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program. He authored the critically acclaimed &#8220;American Judaism: A History,&#8221; a large, scholarly work that was the winner of the Jewish Book Council&#8217;s Jewish Book of the Year Award in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Sarna published &#8220;When Grant Expelled the Jews,&#8221; a New York Times bestseller that cast light on a dark chapter in the American Civil War, in which General Ulysses S. Grant removed Jews from their land in Kentucky and, for a time, stripped them of their possessions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10453\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10453\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10453 lazyload\" title=\"Morton_Katz_loyola\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-768x1024.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10453\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10453 \" title=\"Morton_Katz_loyola\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Morton_Katz_loyola-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-10453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Loyola Law School graduate and Federation president Morton Katz at the final Centennial Celebration event. (Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sarna was introduced by Federation president Morton Katz, himself a 1969 graduate of the Loyola Law School and active alumnus of the university. Sarna&#8217;s talk was titled &#8220;American Jewish History, Backwards and Forward&#8221; and was a survey of the history of the American Jewish community through its creation up to present day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t have a better speaker to end our Centennial Celebration,&#8221; Katz said in his introduction. Katz represented Federation, while Carol Wise, the president of the Jewish Endowment Foundation of Louisiana, also served to represent the Jewish community. In addition, Congregation Gates of Prayer Rabbi Robert Loewy, an instructor in Judaism at Loyola for many years, delivered an invocation with a specific reference to <em>Notre Aetate<\/em>, the papal encyclical that recognized the importance of the Jewish people and attempted to erase centuries of mistrust and persecution by the Church.<\/p>\n<p>Sarna, who currently serves at the chief historian of the recently opened National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, initially cautioned audience members about his presence in New Orleans on a night when the Boston Red Sox were slated to win their first World Series Championship on their home field of Fenway Park since 1918. &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell anyone in Boston that I am here tonight,&#8221; he quipped. &#8220;They consider it a great act of disloyalty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although much of the nature of the talk was serious, Sarna peppered jokes and witticisms throughout his address.<\/p>\n<p>Sarna frequently referred to the recently released Pew Research Center study (<a title=\"Pew Research Council survey\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/survey-reveals-alarming-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\">See related CCJN story here<\/a>), which cited an overall interfaith marriage rate of 58 percent, a largely growing number of Jews raising their children either as non-Jews or without any religion and a huge segment which identifies as secular Jews, eschewing any organized religion and identifying strictly through culture.<\/p>\n<p>A closer examination of the study revealed that 40 percent of young Jews do not identify with a congregation. &#8220;That&#8217;s a huge number,&#8221; Sarna averred. Also, another item that did not get reported is that half of American Jewish adults are single, he said. By comparison, that&#8217;s twice the number of Jews who are intermarried.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10454\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10454\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10454 lazyload\" title=\"Panel\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10454\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10454 \" title=\"Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Panel-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-10454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panel, from left, professor Jonathan Sarna, Morton Katz, Carol Wise, Dean Maria Calzada, president emeritus Father James Carter and Rabbi Robert Loewy. (Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite these somewhat unsettling trends, Sarna seemed non-plussed. Critics have always charged that Judaism can&#8217;t survive in a climate of freedom and church-state separation, as exists in America, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Through a constant process of assimilation and revitalization, the Jewish people living in the United States have continually reinvented themselves, Sarna asserted. &#8220;Sometimes you promote continuity by promoting discontinuity,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The author of over 30 scholarly works he has written or edited, Sarna suggested that Jews have lived in the New World from the earliest of times, pointing out that a Jew was recorded as having lived in the colony of Roanoake in 1585 and that a Jew named Solomon Franco came to Boston in 1649 before being forced to leave.<\/p>\n<p>But the more important date, according to Sarna, was the establishment of a Jewish community, he said, That began with the landing in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam \u00a0of 23 Jews fleeing the Inquisition from Recife, Brazil in 1654.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Stuyvesant, the governor of the colony was the son of a Calvinist minister and was, himself, training to be a Calvinist minister, according to Sarna. Stuyvesant called the Jews &#8220;deceitful, repugnant and blasphemous of the name of Christ,&#8221; Sarna recounted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10457\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10457\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10457 lazyload\" title=\"Sarna_podium\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-768x1024.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10457\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10457\" title=\"Sarna_podium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Sarna_podium-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-10457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Author and historian Jonathan Sarna speaks at Loyola University on October 30, 2013. (Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Stuyvesant was not merely anti-Semitic, the professor continued. The peg-legged governor stated for the record that giving the Jews liberty would open the floodgates for the Lutherans, Papists and others. In his dealings with the Dutch West India Company in Holland, Stuyvesant opined that he was fighting &#8220;for nothing less than the religious character of New Amsterdam,&#8221; Sarna related.<\/p>\n<p>The present state of American Judaism began to take shape in the period of the 1820s, he continued. Following the establishment of Congregation Shearith Israel, also known as the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, young people began to advocate for changes including the establishment of early morning worship services. When their petitions were denied, a split resulted in the formation of the first Ashkenazi synagogue, B&#8217;nai Jeshurun.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in Charleston, SC, a group of young Jews bent on changing the conventional prayer offerings by inserting sermons and prayers in English and shortening the services were also rebuked by the elders of the synagogue there. This resulted in the formation of the very first Reform synagogue in America, Sarna said.<\/p>\n<p>Both groups were essential to the formation of the American Judaism we know today, Sarna continued. &#8220;They produced a religious rebellion that spread from Charleston and New York across the nation,&#8221; Sarna posited.<\/p>\n<p>The period of the next hundred years was the flowering of the American Jewish community through immigration from a population of 3,000 Jews in 1820 to over three and a half million Jews in 1920. &#8220;Jews spread out across the country wherever roads the railroad tracks took them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10458\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10458\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10458 lazyload\" title=\"Cake_group\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10458\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10458\" title=\"Cake_group\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Cake_group-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-10458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sponsors and participants at the Centennial Celebration event gather around the cake. (Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As they spread out to new areas, the central questions remained, Sarna said. &#8220;Is America a land that is good for the Jews, but bad for Judaism?&#8221; he queried.<\/p>\n<p>Some Jews continued to practice a strategy of Jewish education, emphasizing traditional values as what keeps Jews together. Others, like Rabbi Issac Mayer Wise, sought to lure young Jews back to synagogues by abandoning tradition through the institution of Reform Judaism. A third segment rejected the synagogue altogether, Sarna explained.<\/p>\n<p>The history of American Judaism is defined by each of these three strategies, either separately or together, he noted. Oftentimes the contentiousness of these debates results in the unsettling prospect of Jews battling Jews, Sarna said with regret.<\/p>\n<p>The questions remain today for American Jewry. &#8220;Should Jews compromise for the sake of Jewish unity or stand together to preserve Jewish unity?&#8221; he asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n<p>Jews are a global people, but several facts are disturbing, according to Sarna. Eighty percent of all Jews live in either the U.S. or Israel and half of those living in America reside in just four cities. Jewish communities of 5,000 residents or more only exist in 37 countries and most of the remaining 200-plus countries are barren of Jews or have communities of less than 1,000, he declared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jews now live in the most economically advanced countries in the world,&#8221; Sarna continued. &#8220;That is a benefit, but it comes at a huge price.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several former Jewish communities in countries like Yemen, Syria and Iraq no longer exist, he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>But while uncertain, Sarna seemed optimistic about the future of American Judaism. &#8220;American Jews will find enduring ways to broaden Jewish life with the help of creative Jewish leaders,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a terrible system of government, Sarna confided, &#8220;except for all the other ones!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the evening, Chef Harveen Khera of Hillel\u2019s Kitchen on the nearby Tulane University campus provided a large sampling of vegan and gluten-free foods. A large cake emblazoned with icing proclaimed the Centennial Celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks were given throughout the night to Loyola University as host of the event. Other generous donors who contributed in part to its funding were the Jewish Endowment Foundation of Louisiana, Lester and Beverly Wainer, The Luther and Zita Templeman Foundation, The Goldring Family Foundation, and The Woldenberg Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Images from the final Centennial Celebration event are here:<\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Sarna%3A%20Jews%20are%20doomed%21%20%28again%29\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4204,4208,4205,2124,8790,8783,34,8795,1825,4206,4196,4207,8836,8788,342],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10451"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10451"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10461,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10451\/revisions\/10461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
