The Archives Department of Central Synagogue is in the early planning stages of its fifth scholarly monograph in a series that highlights the synagogue and its archives in the wider community. The focus of this monograph will be Central Synagogue congregants who have had an impact on the larger noncongregational world, prior to 1950. (The synagogue was founded in 1846.) We're thinking of people who were members of Central Synagogue and perhaps honed and developed their leadership skills at Central, and then went on to serve the greater community or, conversely, became members of Central later in their careers. As in our past monographs, the hope is that material in our archives will be featured in the research of this publication. Additionally, the author is expected to present his or her work at the synagogue during an evening devoted to the subject. We, of course, are offering an author's stipend for this work. Our earlier monographs are entitled CENTRAL SYNAGOGUE IN ITS CHANGING NEIGHBORHOOD by Andrew S. Dolkart; CONGREGATING AND CONSECRATING AT CENTRAL SYNAGOGUE: The Building of a Religious Fellowship and Public Ceremonies by Elizabeth Blackmar and Arthur A. Goren; THE AMERICANIZATION OF THE JEWISH PRAYER BOOK and the Liturgical Development of Congregation Ahawath Chesed New York City by Gary Phillip Zola; and SOUNDING JEWISH TRADITION: The Music of Central Synagogue by Judah M. Cohen. All of our authors are renowned scholars in their fields. We would love to know if you are interested in taking on this project or might know a scholar who would be. Please contact Central Synagogue Archives at archi...@censyn.org<mailto:archi...@censyn.org> or 212-838-5122 extension 2041. Best, Amy Goldberger, Chair Anne Mininberg, Archivist
