Author Robert Davidow profiles 11
Jewish judges appointed by the president.
Their rulings have made an impact on the
lives of all Americans; and many of those
decisions, according to Davidow, were
influenced by their Jewish upbringing.

the 150th anni-
versary of the last
year of the American Civil
War and the end of slavery.
Much like the division of the greater
United States during this time, most
Jewish citizens based their opinions on
slavery and the Civil War largely upon
their geographical location; Southern
Jews aligned with the Confederacy and
Northern Jews aligned with the Union.
There were vocal advocates for
both sides. For example, Rabbi David
Einhorn and Ernestine Rose were two
prominent abolitionists. In response to
the question of the Jewish role in abo-
litionism, Einhorn exclaimed, "It is the
duty of Jews to fight bigotry since, for
thousands of years, Jews have conscious-
ly or unconsciously fought for freedom

Michigan Jewish History
Now Has Digitized Index
The Jewish Historical Society of Michigan
now has a fully digitized index covering 54
years of Michigan Jewish History, the orga-
nization's highly lauded annual journal
enjoyed by readers and used by research-
ers worldwide.
The Michigan Jewish History Digitized
Index, dedicated to Judith Levin Cantor in
honor of her commitment and dedication
to the creation of this online resource, is a
free and open online resource.
Users can easily access back issues of
Michigan Jewish History, the longest con-
tinuously published journal of local Jewish
history in the U.S.
Throughout its 54 years, the journal has
chronicled an enormous range of topics
through articles written by academics,
historians and journalists, including the
history of Michigan's Jewish communi-
ties and leaders; the early development
of synagogues, institutions and busi-
nesses; and profiles of prominent Jewish
leaders such as Max Fisher as well as
lesser-known community innovators like
Abraham Kaufman, who, in 1927, served
as president of the New England Malt
& Hops Company, one of several local
suppliers of hopped malt syrup to home
brewers, which was permitted during the
Prohibition era.
The 2014 issue of Michigan Jewish
History, Vol. 54, was released in November
to JHSM members, libraries and Judaic
studies programs. Among the many
articles is "Jewish Federal Judges in

It is estimated that Jews fought
on both sides of the war in greater
numbers than their percentage of the
population. Moreover, six Jewish sol-
diers in the Union Army received the
highest American military honor: the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
On Jan. 21,1955, the Detroit Jewish
News ran a historical cartoon about Jews
and the Civil War.
