we probably wouldn't do it,"
Steinberg said. "That's certainly a
big part of it."
For some, re-enacting offers "a
sort of theme camping trip," Tony
Horwitz said. "Man and wilderness,
no modern conveniences, the ulti-
mate test of manhood in battle. Re-
enacting is a safe way to express tra-
ditional masculinity, and may be
partly a response to feminism and
political correctness. You can wear a
uniform, shoot a gun, wave a rebel
flag - all things you might feel
uncomfortable doing in another set-
ting."
Not everyone feels this way, how-
ever. Take Dr. Steve Oreck, a 49-
year-old hand surgeon in Madison,
Wis. Playing the part of a doctor at
the Gettysburg re-enactment will
mean more to him than just another
fun weekend of dress-up, another
chance to show off the $6,000 worth
of uniforms aid reproduction med-
ical equipment he has accumulated
over the years.
For Oreck, assuming the role of a
French-Jewish surgeon in Company
B of the 2nd Wisconsin Regiment
will mean returning to a nobler,
more decent time.
"I am not nostalgic about Civil
War medicine, or Civil War sanita-
tion, and if you've ever tried eating
salt beef and hard tack, you can't be
too nostalgic about Civil War rations
either," said Oreck.
"But there were certain values and
expectations at that time that, in
many ways, were better than the val-
ues we have now. People saw an
obligation to their country, and they
saw a necessity for self-sacrifice. I
mean personal self-sacrifice, not just
giving a hundred bucks to the
United Jewish Appeal," he said.
"This was not a society of pure
hearts and chivalry by any means,
but people had a deep personal com-
mitment to their society, both in the
North and the South. If you were a
part of this society, than you owed
something to this society."
A combat veteran who served in
Vietnam and the Persian Gulf,
A Southern Seder
n 1864, a soldier named Isaac
J. Levy wrote from camp in
Adams Run, S.C., to his sis-
ter, describing how he and his
brother Ezekiel observed Passover
thatyear. The original letter is on
file in the American Jewish Archives
in Cincinnati, though the text can
also be found at Leah Berkowitz's
Civil War Web site
(http://www.geocities.com/-wal-
nut_street/jewish.htm).
"Dear Leonora,
"No doubt you were much sur-
prised on receiving a letter from me
addressed to our dear parents dated
on the 21st, which was the first day
of [Pesach]. We were all under the
impression in camp that the first
day of the festival was the 22nd and
if my memory serves me right, I
think that Ma wrote me that Pesach
was on the 22nd. Zeke was some-
what astonished, on arriving in
Charleston on Wednesday after-
noon, to learn that that was the first
[seder] night.
"He purchased [matzos] sufficient
to last us for the week. The cost is
somewhat less than in Richmond,
being but two dollars per pound.
We are observing the festival in a
truly Orthodox style. On the first
day, we had a fine vegetable soup. It
was made of a bunch of vegetables,
which Zeke brought from
Charleston containing new onions,
parsley, carrots, turnips and a young
cauliflower; also a pound and a half
of fresh [kosher] beef, the latter arti-
cle sells for four dollars per pound
in Charleston.
"No news in the section at pre-
sent. Troops from Florida are pass-
ing over the road en route for
Richmond. `Tis probable that we
will remain in this department and
were it not for the unhealthy season
which is approaching, would be well
satisfied to remain here."

[Isaac .1 Levy was killed in the trench-
es at Petersburg, Aug. 21, 1864, at
age 21. He is buried in the Hebrew
Cemetery on Shockoe Hill in
Richmond, in the Levy family plot.]
