Ehrlich & Sons)with multiple immigration organizations (the Industrial Removal Office and theIndustrial Removal Unit).However, the CAJE collection’s overarching focus relates to the primary andsecondary research of the Kansas City Jewish community undertaken by Dr.Joseph Schultz in the 1970s which culminated in the publication of his criticallyacclaimed book, Mid-America’s Promise: A Profile of Kansas City Jewry,published by the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City in 1982.Concerning his secondary sources, the collection features various essays (somepublished in reputable scholarly journals such as the Missouri Historical Reviewand the American Jewish Historical Quarterly, while others are unpublishedlectures used at symposia) pertaining to the history of the Kansas City Jewishcommunity since the 19 th century. Along with conducting interviews of numerousSHSMO-KC September 5, 2013 PRELIMINARY

K0670 Central Agency for Jewish Education (CAJE) Collection Page 3community luminaries (with an emphasis on educators and rabbis) for primarysources, Schultz also utilized journals, diaries, memoirs, letters, correspondence,and newspaper articles on both esoteric (such as the fragmentary journal of EliasEppstein of Congregation B’nai Jehuda covering the years 1880-1883) andrenowned Missouri Jews, the most significant being Eddie Jacobson, a successfulbusinessman and old acquaintance of Harry Truman (their friendship dating backto their military service in the same infantry unit in World War I), whosepersistent lobbying on behalf of the Zionist cause was decisive in enabling thePresident to overcome his prior equivocation and to extend diplomatic recognitionto the nascent state of Israel a mere eleven minutes after its formal creation onMay 14, 1948.Additionally, the collection contains a scrapbook entitled “The American Pastand Palestine Partition Ends” compiled by CAJE student Adrienne Joyce Asherwhich contains newspaper clippings chronicling U.S. history from the Declarationof Independence to World War II and the partition of Palestine culminating in thecreation of the state of Israel. Notwithstanding the ostensible differences betweenthese historic events, Asher deliberately placed them together “because the fightfor a homeland for the Jews in Palestine and America’s fight for a free democraticland has so much similarity.”Whereas KA1396 largely focuses on historical materials utilized as researchby Dr. Joseph Schultz for his book Mid-America’s Promise, KA1464, thesubsequent addition to the collection, primarily features records pertaining toschool administration dating back to the period when CAJE was then known asthe Jewish Education Council (JEC). Consequently, KA1464 is inundated withforms, lesson plans, financial reports, directories, questionnaires, correspondenceand minutes of JEC as well as other organizations, notably CAJE’s affiliate, theCouncil for Initiatives in Jewish Education (CISE).Nevertheless, in underscoring the periodic record overlapping betweenKA1464 and KA1396, the former contains extensive cassette and VHS interviewsof numerous educators in the Kansas City Jewish community (teachers, schooladministrators, professors and rabbis) interestingly conducted contemporaneouslywith Schultz’s own interviews in the late 1970s (although the collection does notindicate whether Schultz’s research project inspired CAJE to conduct anambitious oral history project or vice versa, though this is quite possible).Additionally complementing this pattern is KA1464’s containment of essays,articles, newsletters (The Synagogue Scroll, newsletter of Beth ShalomCongregation) and a M.A. thesis recounting the history of Missouri Jewry.Nonetheless, given that the preponderance of its primary source materials, withthe notable exception of the Congregation Ohev Sholom 100 th Anniversary 1877-1977 booklet containing reproductions of 19 th century records, mainly date fromthe 1950s onwards, the division between KA1396 and KA1464’s historicalrecords, unlike many of their other contents, is defined via clear chronologicaldemarcation.SHSMO-KC September 5, 2013 PRELIMINARY
