Judaism 101 A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts Emma Lazarus Emma Lazarus was born on July 22, 1849 to Moses and Esther Lazarus in New York City. She came from an old family of Spanish Jews, but her initial reaction to Jewish ritual and customs was not positive. When her old religious teacher asked her for a poem for his hymn book, she refused, saying “I will gladly assist you as far as I am able; but that will not be much. I shall always be loyal to my race but I feel no religious fervor in my soul.” Instead, she turned to Transcendentalism, a distinctively American philosophy, that found literary expression in the poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson. She maintained a long correspondence with that American literary icon. But after staying for a week in Concord at the invitation of Emerson and his wife, she seems to have left Transcendentalism behind. In 1881, a bloody pogrom broke out in Russia, which produced a large stream of refugees. Emma met with them on Ward’s Island in the East River, along with a group of Jewish women. Expecting them to find them of a low class, she was amazed to find among them “men of brilliant talents and accomplishments – the graduates of Russian universities, scholars of Greek as well as Hebrew ... and burning with zeal in the cause of their wretched co-religionists.” This first encounter with reviled and persecuted Jews changed Emma’s life. She began to identify strongly with the Jewish People. She became a defender of Jews against anti-Semites, and became active in many Jewish causes. She began to sing of freedom –

Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: Emma Lazarus Great-grandfather Samuel Lazarus had joined with Gershom Mendes Seixas in organizing Kalfe Sedakah a society for the relief of those stricken by yellow fever in the epidemic of 1798, and had himself fallen victim to it. His son, Eleazar S., American-born son of German Ashkenazic immigrants, became the leading authority on Sephardic liturgy in the first half of the nineteenth century. Eleazer also served as parnas (president) of the Shearith Israel Congregation, as did his eldest son, Samuel, who, like his father, would on occasion lead the service in the synagogue. The second son, Moses, married Esther Nathan, the daughter of an aristocratic Sefardi family and made his fortune in the sugar refining business. They raised six daughters. Private tutorial schooling, stressing literature and languages, was provided for the Lazarus children; Hebrew education was not. Like others in their group, the Lazarus family relegated their Jewish religious life to the formal, occasional expression that good manners required. Thirty original poems and forty-four translations from the German (Heinrich Heine) and the French (Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo), seventy-four poetic pieces in all, written by Emma Lazarus between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, make up this book. Not one of them is of Jewish content or interest. Her "Jewish soul" as she termed it, was not awakened till later in life. The dedication is "To My Father," Moses Lazarus, who had the volume printed for private circulation in New York in 1866.

This heard Admetus, King of Thessaly, Whose broad, fat pastures spread their ample fields Down to the sheer edge of Amphrysus' stream, Who laughed, disdainful, at the father's pride, That set such value on one milk-faced child.

She did not live to see the statue erected, and never knew that her work would be engraved and placed on the statue's base. Yet her poem became the statue's mission statement, identifying it in the minds of the public as a signal of welcome to immigrants from around the world. The statue and nearby Ellis Island have been closed to visitors since the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame

More details to come. Statue of Liberty - Presented to the United States by the people of France in 1886, this great national landmark has been a worldwide symbol of freedom to millions of people and a welcoming beacon for millions more immigrants. "Its formal name is 'Liberty Enlightening the World'. The statue depicts a woman escaping the chains of tyranny, which lie at her feet. Her right hand holds aloft a burning torch that represents liberty. Her left hand holds a tablet inscribed with the date “July 4, 1776” (in Roman numerals), the day the United States declared its independence. She is wearing flowing robes and the seven rays of her spiked crown symbolize the seven seas and continents." "Conceived by the French sculptor Frédéric August Bartholdi, it cost approximately 1 million francs, a sum raised by conscription. The colossal copper figure was shipped in sections in 1885 and unveiled on Oct. 28, 1886. President Grover Cleveland accepted it in a belated commemoration of a century of American independence. From the pedestal to the top of the upraised torch, the height is 152 feet; the overall height is 302 feet.

The Statue Of Liberty Visitors: for ticket and schedule information, call (212)269-5755 Also see: National Park Service website The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States from the people of France, conceived and designed as a monument to a great international friendship. But its significance has broadened and for many people throughout the world it has become the recognized symbol of liberty. See dedication poem: The New Colossus Historical Notes: Construction of the Statue began in France in the year 1875, by sculptor Auguste Bartholdi. The final completion date of the individual sections was in June of 1884, and it stood in Paris until it was dismantled in early 1885 for shipping to the US. Engineering of the structure's assembly was done by Gustave Eiffel. The French frigate "Isere" transported the Statue from France to the United States. In transit the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. On October 28, 1886 President Grover Cleveland accepted The Statue on behalf of the United States and said in part: "we will not forget that liberty here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected". Physical Details: Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (7.62 cm) and the torch to sway 5 inches (12.7 cm).

Emma Lazarus wrote her poem, The New Colossus, about the Statue of Liberty shortly after its dedication in 1886. She passed away the next year. Her poem was inscribed on a bronze plaque at the base of the statue in 1903. Emma Lazarus' famous words, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" may now be indelibly engraved into the collective American memory, but they did not do so overnight. In fact, Lazarus' sonnet to the Statue of Liberty was hardly noticed until after her death, when a patron of the New York arts found it tucked into a small portfolio of poems written in 1883 to raise money for the construction of the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. The patron, Georgina Schuyler, was struck by the poem and arranged to have its last five lines become a permanent part of the statue itself. More than twenty years later, children's textbooks began to include the sonnet and Irving Berlin wrote it into a Broadway musical. By 1945, the engraved poem was relocated (including all fourteen lines) to be placed over the Statue of Liberty's main entrance. Today the words themselves may be remembered more than the poet herself, but in Lazarus' time just the opposite was true. As a member of New York's social elite, Emma Lazarus enjoyed a privileged childhood, nurtured by her family to become a respected poet recognized throughout the country for verses about her Jewish heritage. A reader and a dreamer, Lazarus had the good fortune to claim Ralph Waldo Emerson as a pen-pal and mentor. Before her death at age 37, Lazarus grew from a sheltered girl writing flowery prose about Classical Antiquity to a sophisticated New York aristocrat troubled by the violent injustices suffered by Jews in Eastern Europe.
