THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
.
Ritual Blood Libel
Continued from preceding pafle
Agency reports of July 28,
1929, from Jerusalem, and
July 29, 1929, from Damas-
cus), the results of the ef-
forts of the mission of Sir
Moses Montefiore and the
great Jews who served
with him (and the noble
Christians who
encouraged them) was that
ritual • murder incrimini-
tions were relegated to the
ranks of the most ignorant
and most lowly.
But a result of much
greater significance was
that Jews began to think
in terms of unity and co-
operation, and that the
various branches of world
Israel were more closely
knit together by the
tragedy. This horrible af-
fair proved the helpless-
ness of unorganized
Jewry. Adolphe Cremieux,
who was great not only <
the service of the Jewish
people but as well in that
of France, whom he served
as Minister of Justice in
1848 and as a member of
the Government of Na-
tional Defense in 1871, dur-
ing the Franco-Prussian
War, was awakened to the
need of organizing French
Jewry. He was instrumen-
tal, as a result of the les-
sons he learned from the
Damascus affair, in or-
ganizing the Alliance Is-
raelite Universelle in 1860.
In other lands Jews
similary organized, and, in
the words of Lord How-
don, much "good arose
from evil."
Cache Of Yiddish
Music Recovered
Amherst (JTA) — Workers
from the National Yiddish
Book Center in this Massa-
chusetts town have recovered
a treasuretrove of almost
85,000 folios of out-of-print
Jewish music from a garage
in Boro Park, Brooklyn, it
was announced here recently.
The collection, which in-
cludes long out-of-print "hits"
from the Yiddish theater,
songs of the Jewish pioneers
in Israel, Yiddish folk songs
and cantorial scores, is believ-
ed to represent the largest
single inventory of Yiddish
music anywhere in the world.
Virtually all the music was
published by Metro Music, a
well-known music publisher
on New York's Lower East
Side. When Metro Music
went out of business in the
early 1970's, its entire unsold
stock was purchased on spec-
ulation by a group of private
investors. The Metro Music
building was eventually dem-
olished, and the collection of
sheet music was stored in a
succession of New York City
locations.
The ownership of the
materials finally passed to
Sidney Rimmer, a part-time
cantor who works as a com-
puter auditor for the City of
New York. Rimmer believed
that preservation of the
music was a mitzvah, regard-
less of its , commercial value.
With the help of friends, he
cleared out the two-car gar-
age behind his home in Boro
Park, a primarily Hasidic sec-
tion of Brooklyn, where he
packed away the.-thousands
of folios of sheet music, hop-
ing that someday they would
be of interest once again. The
materials remained in Rim-
mer's garage for the next 13
years.
Last month, news of the
treasure reached Rabbi Aryeh
Gotlieb of Paramus, New
Jersey. A long-time lover of
both Yiddish and cantorial
music, Gotlieb travelled to
Boro Park to investigate. He
took one look at Rimmer's
garage and immediately rec-
ognized the historic signifi-
cance of the long-lost
collection.
Gotlieb phone Aaron Lan-
sky, executive director of the
National Yiddish Book Cen-
ter in Amherst, a non-profit
organization which has at-
tracted worldwide attention
for its campaign to rescue un-
wanted and discarded Yid-
dish books and return them
to active use.
Lansky, 31, responded im-
mediately to Gotlieb's call.
•He phoned Rimmer and ar-
ranged for the entire collec-
tion to be donated to the Cen-
ter, where it could be proper-
ly stored and catalogued. A
truck was dispatched to New
York, and staff members and
student interns worked for
two days in the summer heat
emptying the garage, loading
the truck and transporting
the sheet music to the cen-
ter's 18,000 square foot Yid-
dish book annex in Holyoke,
Mass.
"This is one of the most ex-
traordinary discoveries in the
Center's history," said Lan-
sky, upon reviewing the col-
lection. "During the last
seven years the Yiddish book
center has rescued almost a
half million Yiddish books,
but we've found less than 200
folios of Yiddish sheet music.
Until we actually saw Mr.
Rimmer's garage, were afraid
that Yiddish music was lost
forever. These 85,000 folios
will be an incomparable boon
to the students, scholars and
lovers of Jewish music around
the world!'
Workers at " the Yiddish
Book Center are now sorting
the music.
