Charleston will bring partici-
pants to the building of the He-
brew Orphan Society, the oldest
chartered Jewish charitable or-
ganization in the United States,
dating from 1801, and, more sig-
nificantly, the institution in
which Confederate statesman
Judah P. Benjamin was raised.
Another prominent Jew in the
Confederacy is memorialized in
the Baruch Auditorium of the
state's Medical University, also
located in the old, historic sec-
tion of Charleston. The building
is named for another Beth Elo-
him congregant, Dr. Simon
Baruch, father of the better-
known Bernard Baruch who
served as an adviser to U.S.
Presidents from Woodrow Wil-
son to Harry Truman.
The elder Baruch was a sur-
geon in the Confederate Army,
serving at the front for three
years. Captured and jailed,
Baruch wrote during his im-
prisonment a book on military
surgery which remained a stan-
dard work until World War I.
The archives of Beth Elohim
and the records of its member-
ship since its founding are stored
in one of the buildings of anoth-
er downtown institution, the
College of Charleston. Founded
in 1770, it is the oldest public
college in the United States. De-
spite a relatively small Jewish
enrollment, the college main-
tains a Jewish Studies Program,
directed by Dr. Martin Perl-
mutter and offering courses in

the Hebrew language and on the
Bible, the Holocaust, Zionism
and other subjects.
In conjuction with Charleston's
three congregations, Reform,
Conservative and Orthodox, the
program also sponsors a Jewish
Student Union through which
undergraduates are involved in
such phases of community life as
Sabbath and High Holy Day ser-
vices, as well as hospitality in
private homes.
The Jewish Studies Program
has an outreach to the general
public which is open to visitors
as well. A Jewish film series cur-
rently features Bernard Mala-
mud's The Fixer. There are also
free lectures for Charlestonians
and visitors alike on Tuesdays
at 7:30 p.m. and "Brown Bag"
talks every Wednesday noon.
Participants bring their own
sandwiches and receive free cof-
fee or soft drinks. Details are
available from Professor Perl-
mutter, (803) 953-5687.
Information on kosher eating,
on Charleston's three Judaica
shops, on Addlestone Hebrew
Acadamy, with 180 students
from pre-kindergarten through
8th grade — on religious ser-
vices, on programs at the Jew-
ish Community Center, on
facilities for newcomers — is
published in the community's ex-
cellent monthly newspaper, the
Charleston Jewish Journal. The
editor is Eileen Chepenick, (803)
