FIVE GATES - CASUAL NOTES FOR AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY 1°9 From the Hotel Commodore, I rushed early in the morning over to Forty-third Street and Fifth Avenue to see Temple Emanu-El- which some years before had cost me, or rather the Hamburg Temple, one million marks. When the Hamburg Temple set out to raise funds for a new building, Mr. Henry Budge, a very rich New York banker who had returned to Europe and lived in Hamburg, had been my first target for a contribution. My president had sent me to him, and I had told him about our plan to build a new temple in Hamburg. Budge had asked me how much it was going to cost. We had figured one million marks. I expected him to give us 5,000 or 10,000 marks. "You can have the million," he said, "under one condition. I would like to have a service like Temple Emanu-El in New York - men and women sitting together, men without hats and without talesim (prayer shawls) ." c c I have to refuse your generous offer, Herr Budge - we are building a Temple for Hamburg Jewry, not for you." Returning to my board, I had offered my resignation as their rabbi. Having refused so generous a gift, I could not, I felt, hold on to my pulpit. My board, however, agreed with me, and in the Hamburg Temple, the cradle of Reform, men and women remained separated up to the last moment. It took me years to accustom myself to seeing men and women sitting together. The same afternoon, my first in New York, I strolled down Fifth Avenue, admiring the famous boulevard. A thought struck me; I had been here almost twenty-four hours, without meeting an acquaintance - that was strange. At that moment, a man stopped me. He spoke English, and I could not understand one word, but he continued in German and said: "I was born here in New York, and last year, for the first time, I went to Europe, stayed in Hamburg and watched you every morning, watering your flowers in your garden. Won't you have lunch with me?" I shall never forget those first days in New York. Here I was - lost in the colossus of houses, streets, faces, a babel of languages - a replica of the Wandering Jew. How often I stood, looking at Hebrew letters like Bosor Kosher (kosher meat), which gave me a feeling of nostalgia!
Julian Obermann, later professor at Yale University, was my only acquaintance. He helped me to get a room at Broadway and One Hundred Thirteenth Street. The first Friday evening I went to a synagogue and at eight o'clock in the evening came to a Jewish restaurant on Broadway. The place was dark. I tried the door - it opened; the man was about to leave. "What's the matter?" I asked. "Shabbos (the Sabbath)," he said. "Can you let a Kosher Jew starve?" < < No, I'll give you something to eat," and he was about to go to the kitchen. I stopped him. "Wait, it's Shabbos. I have no money." (I had money.)
