191936908New York December 11 1919. 1919. Very good. - Over 30 words typed on his 6 inch high by 8 inch wide buff "Free Synagogue / New York" stationery. Stephen Samuel Wise is pleased to accept American impresario and lecture agent James B. Pond's invitation to serve on the committee welcoming Maurice Maeterlinck to America. Wise writes "I accept with much pleasure your kind invitation to serve as a member of the Honorary Reception Committee." Signed "Stephen S. Wise". Folded for mailing with a small piece out from the top left corner. Very good. <p>Born in Budapest Stephen Samuel Wise 1874-1949 emigrated to the US when his father accepted service as rabbi of Brooklyn's Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes. After completing his studies at Columbia University Wise pursued rabbinical studies under several noted rabbis of the era including Richard J.H. Gottheil Kohut Gersoni Joff and Margolis. He was appointed assistant rabbi of NYC's Congregation B'nai Jeshurun becoming the Congregation's senior rabbi later that year. Taking over as rabbi of Portland Oregon's Congregation Beth Israel he attacked many of the social and political ills facing the country. He soon broke with the traditional reform movement and established his "Free Synagogue" in 1907 launching a movement. Wise was an early supporter of Zionism and laid the groundwork for what became the Zionist Organization of America and served as president of the American Jewish Congress. His good friend Albert Einstein profoundly praised him in a tribute that Einstein presented at the celebration of Wise' 60th birthday. In 1914 Wise co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP. Wise early on saw the threat posed by Hitler's rise in Germany and fought to shape U.S. public opinion against the growing German threat leading efforts for a Jewish Boycott of Germany and the creation of the World Jewish Congress.<p>James B. Pond the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides.

He enlisted in Andrew Jackson's army in the War of 1812. He carried ammunition in the Battle of New Orleans in which he was struck on the thigh by a 12-pound shot which tore off a large mass of the flesh. He was saved by Rezin Davis Shepherd a Virginia merchant who helped nurse him back to health and their close friendship continued throughout their lives. Judah Touro's lasting fame however was as a philanthropist. He contributed $40000—an immense sum at the time—to the Jewish cemetery at Newport. He is buried in the that Jewish Cemetery. Among the contributors was Carl Clinton Van Doren September 10 1885 - July 18 1950 was an American critic and biographer.

The Touro Synagogue or Congregation Jeshuat Israel is a synagogue built in 1763 in Newport Rhode Island. It is the oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States the only surviving synagogue building in the U.S. dating to the colonial era and the oldest surviving Jewish synagogue building in North America. In 1946 it was declared a National Historic Site. The first congregation was made up of Sephardic Jews who are believed to have come via the West Indies where they participated in the triangular trade along with Dutch and English settlements. They practiced a Spanish and Portuguese Jewish liturgy and ritual. The community purchased and dedicated the Jewish Cemetery at Newport in 1677. In the late eighteenth century when warfare threatened the congregation transferred the deed and Torah scrolls to Congregation Shearith Israel in New York for safekeeping. Since the late 19th century the congregants have been primarily Ashkenazi. Touro Synagogue was designed by Peter Harrison a noted British architect and Rhode Island resident. It is considered his most notable work. The interior is flanked by a series of twelve Ionic columns supporting balconies which signify the twelve tribes of ancient Israel and each column is carved from a single tree. The building is oriented to face east toward Jerusalem. The ark containing the Torah is on the east wall; above it is a mural representing the Ten Commandments in Hebrew which was painted by Newport artist Benjamin Howland. The Touro Synagogue was built from 1759 to 1763 for the Jeshuat Israel congregation in Newport under the leadership of Cantor Chazzan Isaac Touro. The cornerstone was laid by Aaron Lopez a Newport-based philanthropist for Jewish causes who primarily made his fortune through the trading in addition to being involved in the spermaceti candlemaking business and other commercial ventures. The Jeshuat Israel congregation dates to 1658 when 15 Spanish and Portuguese Jewish families arrived probably from the Dutch or British West Indies. The synagogue was formally dedicated 2 December 1763. The Touro congregation annually reads President Washington's letter on religious pluralism and celebrates the occasion with invited speakers. They have included Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan; and Brown University presidents Ruth Simmons and Christina Paxson.
