"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.] For more about Jezvisb life in the modern-day South, see this week's "On The Bookshelf" in the JiV Entertainment section, which exam- ines Eli Evans' updating of his classic book, "The Provincials: A Personal History of Jews in the South."
