Biography/History
In 1953, Wisconsin Jews joined in observing the three hundredth anniversary of Jewish settlement in America. As part of the observation, Rabbi Joseph L. Baron proposed 1) a state-wide organization to promote research in local Jewish history and 2) establishment of a Hebrew chair at the University of Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Chapter of the American Jewish Committee started organizing these tercentenary activities; from May 1954 the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee of Wisconsin did the planning, and in August 1955 the Wisconsin Society for Jewish Learning (WSJL) became its permanent successor.
One of the first projects of the WSJL was a 75,000 dollar gift to establish the Department of Hebrew Studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison in September 1955. Professor Menahem Mansoor headed the department with an enrollment of 50 students. In the fall of 1961 a department was also established at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
A simultaneous project was the founding of the Wisconsin Jewish Archives, to be housed at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. This collection of manuscripts and records includes research material regarding individuals, organizations, and congregations throughout Wisconsin. Staff members organized and described the collections, wrote articles based on their contents, and made contracts with individuals and organizations for the addition of more material. The WSJL has provided continuing financial support for the Archives. For additional information about WJA activities researchers may consult the Project Files of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.
Other activities of the WSJL include scholarships for Hebrew and Jewish studies, formation of libraries of Judaica around the state, the sponsorship of lectures and publications, and the awarding at the Society's annual meeting of a citation to an individual for philanthropy or Jewish scholarship.
Arrangement of the Materials
This collection was received in multiple parts from the donor(s) and is organized into 2 major parts. These materials have not been physically interfiled and researchers might need to consult more than one part to locate similar materials.

Part 1 (Milwaukee Mss 132, Audio 522A): Original Collection, 1954-19801.2 cubic feet (3 archives boxes) and 6 audio recordings Records, primarily 1954 to 1977, of an organization formed in 1954 to promote the study of Jewish history and culture. Included are correspondence, minutes, membership lists, publications, publicity materials, Scholarship Committee material, and clippings. The records document the role of the WSJL in establishing departments of Hebrew Studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and Milwaukee in 1955 and 1961 respectively, and in founding the Wisconsin Jewish Archives at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Also documented are ongoing activities and projects such as lectures and research, fundraising, scholarships, and awards. The papers are arranged alphabetically by type: Clippings, Correspondence, Departments of Hebrew Studies, Interviews, Invitations, Membership Lists, Minutes, Publications, Publicity, Scholarship Committee. The records trace the establishment of the Wisconsin Society for Jewish Learning, the Departments of Hebrew Studies at the University of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Jewish Archives. They also document ongoing activities of the WSJL such as fundraising, sponsoring lecture series and research projects, and awarding scholarships and citations. The most voluminous and complete part of the collection is Minutes of the WSJL Board of Directors, 1954-1977. These files contain agenda, meeting notices, reports, minutes of the WSJL Executive Committee, and a copy of the organization's by-laws. Included also are some minutes of the preceding organization, the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee. Correspondence files contain outgoing and incoming correspondence and are most complete for the years 1954 to 1961. Thereafter, the correspondence becomes fragmentary. Departments of Hebrew Studies files contain reports, newsletters, press releases and clippings which reflect the relationship between the departments and the WSJL. A complete file of WSJL publications variously titled the Newsletter, Memo, and Bulletin can be found in Publications. The Publicity file includes programs, reprints, and informational brochures promoting the WSJL, its lecture series, and scholarship funds. The Scholarship Committee file contains correspondence and financial records which mainly document contributions made to various memorial and scholarship funds administered by the WSJL. The collection also includes tape recorded Interviews with five past presidents and one early member of the WSJL conducted by Lennie Zukrow in June 1970. The interviewees discuss their involvement with the Society, the contributions of Rabbi Baron, establishment of the Hebrew Studies departments, founding of the Wisconsin Jewish Archives, programs of the Milwaukee Jewish Forum, WSJL project financing, and other current and future activities. Although each tape does not cover every topic, the interviewer asked the same basic questions of each person.

These additions are divided into two series: 2006 ADDITIONS and 2012 ADDITIONS; the 2012 additions are further divided into the following subseries: EDUCATION AND PROGRAM FILES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S FILES, WISCONSIN SMALL JEWISH COMMUNITIES PROJECT, AUDIO, and VISUAL MATERIALS. The EDUCATION AND PROGRAM FILES principally document the annual meetings and the trip to Israel sponsored by the Society in 2005-2006. The EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S FILES are principally the files of Kathy Jendusa, the Society's final executive director and include materials relating to committees, grants, and the establishment of the Hebrew and Semitic Studies departments at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. In addition, there are Board minutes, correspondence, newsletters, and financial and membership information. The WISCONSIN SMALL JEWISH COMMUNITIES PROJECT documents the Society's oral history project promoting an awareness of the Jewish population in Wisconsin. The records consist of research on local municipality's Jewish history as well as oral histories of Jewish members of those communities. This research was compiled into an online database. Also included are oral history interviews, a film on DVD, and video and DVD recordings of WSJL lectures and events.
