Philanthropy in Boston’s Jewish Community at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: The Origins and Impact of the First Jewish Federation in the US 

Join our 2025 Genevieve Geller Wyner Research Fellow Benjy Maor to learn about how and why Jewish community leaders in Boston founded, in 1895, the first federation in the United States, The Federation of Jewish Charities of Boston (today known as Combined Jewish Philanthropies). In this lecture, Maor will discuss the first community-wide fundraising campaign, the key players in this early history (including Jacob Hecht, Abraham C. Ratshesky, Rabbi Solomon Schindler, Martha Silverman, and Morris D. Waldman), and the wider context for these large-scale changes, in philosophy and approach, from charity to philanthropy.

Attendees will have the special opportunity to view and interact with archival materials that Benjy Maor used in his research.
