Interviewed by Leslie Kelen, Rose Leibowitz (b. 1908) talks about her parents' lives in Rumania, their coming to America, her father's experiences in the egg and grocery businesses, her childhood, and Jewish rituals practiced in the home. She also remembers her involvement in various organizations in Salt Lake City, including the Talmud Torah ladies, B'nai B'rith, the Traveler's Aid Society, United Way, the Welfare Fund drive, and the Jewish Relief Society (which became the Jewish Family Service). Other topics covered include the differences between the B'nai Israel and Montefiore congregations, the social "clique-isness" of the women in the Jewish community, Rabbi Cardin, the high holy days, some of the people who were "bulwarks" of the Montefiore Congregation, and Zionism. She also recalls some of the locl scandals, the anit-Semitic situation in Salt Lake schools, and the younger generation of Jewish people moving away from Salt Lake. Finally, she speaks of her involvement in Hadassah, Youth Alleyah, fund raising, blue box luncheons, USO, the Jewish Relief Society, and help Jewish soldiers during World War II. 177 pages. |

Show OHI Rose Arnowitz 3-15-83 s2:55 RA OH, well. They have to - the way it worked was: the board remained constant until somebody resigned. That was another thing that was changed after I carne. LK So year to year to year. RA Year to year to yeafthe same, like Sonia, said, she was on - I don't know 20 years. And so unless someone resigned or passed away, or moved away, onb6GY else got on the board. But if that did happen, and as I mntioned to you - if it were a Bnai Israel member, then the Board would suggest that the board would suggest certain names. From - A few names for rn Bnai Israel. And the board would decide, ues, !think we should ask so and so to come on; And v they would ask her. And if she would come on, fine. If not, the'd go down to the next name. And ask the next one if they'd liek to serve. And we used tomeet in the They'd have b know. We used torneet early on Monday mornings. First Monday fo the mnth, I think it was Once a mnth. And, ah, it was kind of a prestige thing-Andpeople didn't go off the board. LK HOw come it wasprestigious. RA I dont know. Maybe it wasn't prestige. You know, it's more like L ¥~n would describe, they were{eally nosy. And they were in o thigns the others didn't know about & this sort of appealed dtthem. I think it appeals to women allthe time. I'm in on v something the other one doesn't know anything about. You have an in on the~rnrnunity.] |
