OREATO LIBRACY Mrs. Ford's Remarks Martin Steinberg Center Dedication June 22, 1976 N.Y.C. The dedication of the Jewish people throughout the centuries to the creative arts has enlivened the music, literature and theatre of many lands. Many American artists have been nurtured by the Jewish heritage. This influence has contributed to the diversity of our culture. Because the Martin Steinberg Center will help keep alive the legacy of Jewish creativity, I'm very pleased to share in this ancient ceremony of blessing--the mezuzah--which symbolizes your faith. I know this center will help continue the lively history of Jewish cultural contributions, which bring so much joy to so many. 2. FORD LIBRARY news AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS STEPHEN WISE CONGRESS HOUSE, 15 EAST 84th STREET NEW YORK, N.Y. 10028 TRAFALGAR 9-4500 Remarks of Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, President, American Jewish Congress to Mrs. Betty Ford at Dedication Ceremonies of the Martin Steinberg Center, June 22, '76 Mrs. Ford and distinguished guests: We are honored by your presence among us, in this house and garden, on what is to us a most auspicious and happy occasion -- the dedication of the Martin Steinberg Center. The Center is the gift of Martin Steinberg, who with his wife Lillian have been generous contributors to the American Jewish Congress for many years. But they have been more than the givers of funds to create institutions such as this. Mrs. Martin Steinberg -- our beloved Lillian -- has given us her energies, her devotion and her feeling for young people. From the gifts of Martin and Lillian Steinberg we have taken encouragement and inspiration and we have built living institutions where young people may gather to read, to paint, to sing -- to bring out the best in themselves as citizens and as Jews. It is a noble and beautiful work that the Steinbergs have undertaken. Martin Steinberg is ill today and Mrs. Steinberg is at his side. Our joy in this occasion is marred only by their absence. Mrs. Ford, it is proper that we begin this dedication ceremony today with the affixing of a Mezuzah to this doorpost in according with the verse from Deuteronomy, "And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house, and upon thy gates." There is a Mezuzah in every Jewish home in every corner of the globe; it is fitting that there be one here. Inside this small case is a small parchment on which are inscribed verses from the Bible. The scroll inside the Mezuzah enjoins us to "teach. diligently" the words of the Lord unto our children. The words of the Mezuzah are especially appropriate for this house because the Martin Steinberg Center will be primarily a place for young people, young Jewish men and women engaged in all aspects of Jewish artistic expression -- music and dance, painting and sculpture, fiction and film-making. Here they will come together to explore and develop their creative talents. Here they will exhibit their work, read their poems, play their music, share their creative efforts and develop a sense of community with each other -- and we believe, with the sense of past Jewish tradition on which to make R. their own contributions to a vibrant, living Jewish culture. MORE SERALS THEY X862 LIBRARY - 2 - It is only 12 days before the 200th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, and we in the American Jewish Congress should like to regard this building as a kind of contribution to the Bicentennial. For we believe deeply that as Americans we make our most valuable and original contribution to our community and to our country as we give authentic expression to all that is Jewish within in. We are better Americans because we are better Jews. We are authentic Americans as we are authentic Jews. In the 60 years since its founding the American Jewish Congress has done battle on many occasions for civil rights and civil liberties for all Americans in the great and ongoing struggle to perfect American democracy. We have done so out of the injunctions of our prophet to pursue justice, to practice righteous- ness, to love one's neighbor as one's self. Today we dedicate this building as a center for that part of our program which seeks to enhance the creative continuity of the Jewish people through programs of Jewish education, through publications of our magazines: Congress Monthly and Judaism, through the inauguration of a wide variety of programs designed to "teach. diligently" unto our children - and ourselves. all that which is precious in our heritage. We see no separation, no division, no dichotomy between the tasks of advancing human freedom and strengthening Jewish life. These tasks are one -- joined by our past history and by our present condition. And here they are - joined by a garden. Here we stand in the Martin S. Steinberg Center -- the place devoted to our Jewish culture. It is a link to our past, through the great Jewish books that line its shelves. And it is an expression of faith in the future, a vote of confidence in our younger generation. For we believe that works of literature and art and music that will be read here and listened to and played and even created here will lead to a greater awareness of the Jewish heritage, a greater appreciation of the Jewish cultural tradition, a more authentic Jewish expression. Opposite us is Stephen Wise Congress House, our national headquarters, named for our founder and longtime President, a great and courageous fighter for the noblest ideals of the Jewish heritage and of America's great promise. The two buildings are joined not only by a garden but by the commitment we bring to improving the world unto the Almighty and to teaching His word and his law "diligently" unto our children. - 3 - Mrs. Ford, I should now like to present to you this silver Mezuzah as a gift for you and the president from the American Jewish Congress. I remember that when the State of Israel was declared, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel, cameto the White House and gave to President Harry Truman a scroll of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. Dr. Weizmann told President Truman in presenting the gift to him that the Torah, the most precious possession of the Jewish people, belonged not only to Israel but to America as well, for it contains the very precepts of justice and liberty and respect for human dignity by which our country was founded. And President Truman brought it to the White House and then to the Truman Library next to his home in Independence, Mo. On the eve of the Bicentennial of our country's founding, it seems to us in the American Jewish Congress that it would be proper and fitting that you, as the First Lady of this land, should have something that belongs to the Jewish people and because we Jews are part of this country -- that belongs to America as well. Let this Mezuzah, which is fixed to the lintel of every Jewish home in America and wherever there are Jews, be part of your home too. It represents all that is most authentically Jewish - and hence authentically American - -- in us, and we give it to you in friendship, in admiration and in love.

Y. 10028 TR 9-4500 June 22, 1976 Martin Steinberg and Lillian Steinberg Martin Steinberg of Brooklyn has been a generous contributor to the American Jewish Congress for 25 years, not only to its programs in the United States but also to its Louise Waterman Wise Youth Hostel in Jerusalem, the largest youth hostel in Israel. With his wife Lillian, Mr. Steinberg has given the im- petus for many innovative programs undertaken by the American Jewish Congresss. The Steinberg have provided funds for two major additions to the Hostel, which serves as a social and cultural center for young visitors to Israel from around the world and for young Israelis. The Lillian and Martin Steinberg Garden Pavilion, dedicated in 1973, serves as an informal coffee house, meeting place and center of many of the Hostel's social and cultural activities. In March 1974, ground breaking for the Hostel's Lillian and Martin Steinberg Cultural Center was begun. This new three-story building will, when completed, include a threatre, library, movie and film projection room and dining facilities, and will also serve as a community center for the youth of the suburbs of Jerusalem. Lillian Steinberg has given more than a quarter century of service to the Congress, having held leadership positions in every facet of AJCongress work, including organization and membership, fundraising, law and social action, international affairs and Jewish cultural affairs. She served as president of the National Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress from from 1962 to 1965 and was recently elected an honorary vice-president of the American Jewish Congress and co-chairman of its Commission on Jewish Affairs. Last December the American Jewish Congress presented Lillian and Martin Steinberg with its Stephen Wise Award for "distinguished service to the Jewish people." The Steinbergs are residents of Brooklyn. Mrs. Steinberg is a former teacher in the city's elementary schools. Mr. Steinberg is a retired realtor and investor. XXX 212 Dedication - The Martin Steinberg Cultural Center 15 East 84 Street, New York City Remarks by Martin E. Segal - Chairman, Commission for Cultural Affairs of the City of New York June 22, 1976 Mrs. Ford, Mr. Squadron, Mr. Steinberg, Honored Guests: I want to thank the American Jewish Congress for asking me to join in this ceremony at the new Martin Steinberg Cultural Center. Today's dedication of a center for the arts reminds me of a modest story for which I ask your indulgence. Two women emerged from an art exhibit, exhilarated by what they had seen. Suddenly one turned to the other and said: "You know, even though I love abstract art, I really can't have abstract paintings in my home. After all, I do have a 16 year old daughter." Her friend was puzzled. "What does that have to do with it?" she asked. "Well," said the mother, "with those abstract paintings, you just never know whether they are decent or not." This little anecdote about a naive mother points whimsically toward the theme that underlies this dedication. Thomas Carlyle, in a critical essay published in 1827, said: "The great law of culture is: Let each become all that he was created capable of being." I cannot help think how that view, in all its nobility, contrasts with another view voiced 100 years later. Said the speaker: "When I hear anyone talk of culture, I reach for my revolver." Hermann Goering, who made that statement, truly meant what he said - and he spoke for all Nazis as well. Culture, which embraces that which is excellent in the arts, sums up the aspirations of man. Needless to say, a center devoted to culture sums up the aspirations of civilization. Its very existence affirms our commitment to decency and excellence. The establishment of the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center is a major step in the enrichment of New York's cultural life. It is true that New York is home to many cultural organizations. But it can never be home to too many. For in an era when the City's preeminence is challenged in a number of areas, - 2 - its stature as a cultural leader remains undiminished. Indeed, cultural leadership assumes new importance in these trying times. Some 50,000 people in New York City depend for their living on the local "cultural industry." They work in the theater or concert worlds, for our museums, libraries, botanical gardens or ZOOS -- they are involved in ballet and opera, film or other activities. This industry spends over $3 billion annually in New York City, making a vital contribution to the health of our economy. For its part, the City spends $25 million a year, in services and in funds, to help maintain institutions and activities which are components of this industry. In return for every dollar it so spends, the City gets back $4 directly in taxes and much more indirectly. The City's contributions are, of course, vitally important to the vigor of the arts in New York. Equally important are the financial contributions of philanthropists such as Martin Steinberg, who through their own resources endow the arts with moral and financial support. Sectarian or ethnic involvement in the arts is by no means rare. In New York it is warmly welcomed and encouraged, for our City boasts as one of its treasures an ethnically diverse population. Its Jews, who derive from many different backgrounds, have made valuable contributions to the cultural life of the City. The list of Jewish musicians, singers and artists, sculptors and composers is long and impressive. They include Leonard Bernstein, Beverly Sills, Richard Rogers, Barbra Streisand and others too numerous to mention. But in addition to these distinguished Jews, and many as yet unknown but destined to achieve success and prominence, there are the other ethnic groups the Blacks, Hispanics, Italians and Orientals who live in this City with us, and who enrich it with their commitments of toil and talent. One of New York's major contributions to American culture has been the musical theater. It is here in this City that the musical theater, from the early days of "Floradora" to "A Chorus Line," has grown and flourished. - 3 - Over the decades, in just this one segment of the arts so uniquely linked to New York, artists of all types and backgrounds have made important contributions to our lives and to culture. The musicals now on Broadway illustrate the kind of ethnic diversity which typifies that art form and gives it such vitality. "Bubbling Brown Sugar" is a retrospective of the best in Black music, and "The Wiz" is a musical version of the Oz story that scintillates with an all-Black cast. "Chicago" co-stars Chita Rivera, a Hispanic, and "A Chorus Line" has made a singing and dancing star of Cookie Vasquez. "Pacific Overtures" stars several Orientals, including Mako, Yuki Shimoda, and Soon Teckoh. The cast of "Grease" includes such Italian-Americans as Albert Infinnia, Ray De Mettis, Joy Rinaldi and Frank Piegaro. Even White, Protestant Anglo-Saxons are represented -- there is "Shenandoah" at the Alvin Theater. The musical theater is a microcosm of the arts. The diversity which characterizes it is now common in other areas -- the films, television and the novel, for example. The diversity which New York City has found to be so enriching has enriched the country as well, and indeed the world. At a time like the present when the strains and stresses of the City's financial problems are putting pressure on the City's social fabric, the forward movement of its cultural life is truly a binding and affirmative force. The Martin Steinberg Cultural Center, I am certain, will make a valuable contribution to cultural activities in New York. Its list of suggested programs is varied and ambitious. In the area of film, the Center proposes to work closely with young film makers as well as campus groups, youth organizations and the like, to view films at the Center. It will periodically review and evaluate films of special interest, and through these and related activities, become an important resource center. The Center's library will house an extensive collection representing all types of Jewish music, from liturgical to folk. There will be booths in which to listen to records and tapes, and workshops, seminars and other activities will encourage young composers and musicians to identify with the CAD Center, to use its facilities and to meet with special guest lecturers. LIBRARY - 4 - Activities planned for young writers include a writers' workshop and poetry readings. An attempt is being made to arrange special visits and workshops by famous contemporary writers. Also under consideration is a plan to create a workshop for younger writers in high school in cooperation with the Board of Jewish Education. What I have already described demonstrates the scope of this Center's ambitions. But there is more. In the fields of art and photography, the Center will provide space for the display and exhibition of works by talented young artists and photographers. Moreover, the Center hopes to get publicity and exposure for these artists to advance their careers. The scribal arts have a long tradition in history, and the Center proposes to meet the special requirements of those in this field. It similarly proposes to help the growing number of young people involved in crafts. In response to this need, the Youth Commission is arranging an outdoor crafts fair in cooperation with the West Side Jewish Community Council. Needless to say, there will be emphasis on the drama. In the past year alone, a number of theater groups have sprung up and are performing in New York City. The Center will offer those interested in drama a place to meet and share common concerns. Help will be provided to find facilities for rehearsals and performances -- an area in which the Center has already been active. The library will have books and material relating to all the arts, and a special section will be reserved for the books and publications of the Jewish student movement. Finally, the Center will sponsor an Arts Coffee House a delightful diversion for young people involved in all aspects of cultural life. Each monthly session will be devoted to a different art form, allowing for a broad interchange of views and skills among those in differing disciplines. The coffee house will give young artists the opportunity to share creatively with each other and to develop a feeling of community among themselves. Ad hoc committees, I am told, have already begun meeting to explore these suggestions so that the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center can become a magnetic center of cultural expression and serve as a model for communities elsewhere. LIBRARY - 5 - It would be my hope, I might add, that the Center would serve as a model cooperator for other ethnic groups within the City who aspire to preserve and codify that which they have already accomplished, while encouraging the development of further creative output. Serving this way as a prototype for other groups, the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center would invest with true significance Carlyle's precept: "Let's each become all that he was created capable of being." Before closing, I want to express on behalf of Mayor Beame and all of the City's citizens, our appreciation for the generosity of Martin Steinberg, which made this Cultural Center possible. In St. Paul's Cathedral in London there is an inscription to Sir Christopher Wren: "Si monumentum requiris circumspice." Translated from the Latin, it means: "If you would see the man's monument, look around." How gratifying to look around at a monument, not merely of bricks and mortar, but of the spirit as well -- built to house a Center for that which is noblest in man -- the art and aspirations of a great civilization. news AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS STEPHEN WISE CONGRESS HOUSE, 15 EAST 84th STREET NEW YORK, N.Y. 10028 TRAFALGAR 9-4500 Richard Cohen, Director Dept. of Public Relations For Immediate Release Mrs. Betty Ford will dedicate the city's newest Jewish cultural institu- tion the Martin Steinberg Center of the American Jewish Congress at 16 East 85th Street . next Tuesday afternoon (June 22) at 4:00 p.m. The center is designed to serve as a gathering place for young Jewish ar- tists, writers, musicians and filmmakers. It includes a music library and listening booths, a circulating and reference library, a screening room for film presentations, and exhibition space for work by Jewish artists and sculptors. Funds for the new center were provided by a gift from Martin Steinberg, a Brooklyn realtor. Mr. Steinberg, a longtime supporter of the Congress, is the hus- band of Lillian Steinberg, an active leader of the organization who served as presi- dent of its national women's division from 1962 to 1965. Before formally unveiling a plaque bearing Mr. Steinberg's name, Mrs. Ford will watch as Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, president of the Congress, recites the appro- priate blessing and affixes a Mezuzah to the doorpost of the building leading to a garden that separates the Steinberg Center from Stephen Wise Congress House, national headquarters of the Congress. A Mezuzah is a small parchment on which are inscribed verses from the Bi- ble, rolled tightly and placed in a small case that is affixed to the doorposts of a Jewish home. The Jewish tradition of the Mezuzah is taken from Chapter 6, Verse 9 of Deuteronomy, which states: "And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house, and upon thy gates." Following the dedication ceremonies in the garden of the center, Martin E. Segal, chairman of the New York City Commission for Cultural Affairs, will address a reception of leaders of the American Jewish Congress. Mrs. Bertie Schwartz, donor of the Charles and Bertie Schwartz Jewish Read- ing Room and Library, and Bernard L. Madoff, who contributed the Bernard L. Madoff Jewish Music Library, will also speak. A musical presentation by Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus and a poetry reading by Diane Levenberg will conclude the ceremonies. Visitors to the Martin Steinberg Center will also see an exhibition of photographs by William S. Aron, "The Lower East Side Revisited."

General Chairmen GERALD FORD LIBRARY "Not relief but redress; not palliation but prevention; not charity but justice- this is the only program worthy of a great and proud people. - Rabbi Stephen S. Wise March 27, 1916 "I know that the American Jewish Congress will continue to participate in the urgent, great and main needs of the Jewish nation-the establishment of a covenant of our people and a light to the nations in our common homeland." -David Ben Gurion "The notable founders and leaders of the American Jewish Congress have played a historic role and made important contributions to this nation-and worked effectively to meet the problems of Jewish communities in many troubled areas." -Harry S. Truman Founding fathers Nathan Straus, Louis Brandeis, Stephen Wise. "Over the years, the American Jewish Congress has been in the forefront of our nation's great struggle to advance the cause of equal justice and opportunity for all Americans." -Earl Warren Founded by Stephen Wise, Louis Brandeis, Nathan Straus and other distinguished American Jews in 1916, the American Jewish Congress was the first democratically organized national Jewish "The eloquent voice of the American Jewish Congress has been heard not just on behalf of movement, established on the principle that all Jews, but on behalf of the highest ideals of freedom and democracy we all share as members of the Jewish community should have a Americans. Its courageous and effective campaigns to advance civil rights, protect civil voice in the determination of policies affecting liberties, and defend religious freedom have helped make this country a better home for Jewish life and that Jewish unity was essential if all." -Lyndon B. Johnson Jewish rights were to be protected. Proudly pro-Zionist, the Congress in its first action sent a delegation to the Versailles peace conference that successfully urged recognition by the League of Nations of the Balfour Declaration calling for establishment of a Jewish national "The American Jewish Congress has been deeply committed not only to the preservation of home in Palestine. fundamental American liberties but to the great work of advancing all our citizens who suffer exclusions because of racial and religious discrimination and prejudice.

Mrs. Martin Steinberg -- our beloved Lillian -- has given us her energies,\nher devotion and her feeling for young people. From the gifts of Martin and\nLillian Steinberg we have taken encouragement and inspiration and we have built\nliving institutions where young people may gather to read, to paint, to sing --\nto bring out the best in themselves as citizens and as Jews. It is a noble and\nbeautiful work that the Steinbergs have undertaken.\nMartin Steinberg is ill today and Mrs. Steinberg is at his side. Our\njoy in this occasion is marred only by their absence.\nMrs. Ford, it is proper that we begin this dedication ceremony today\nwith the affixing of a Mezuzah to this doorpost in according with the verse from\nDeuteronomy, \"And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house, and\nupon thy gates.\" There is a Mezuzah in every Jewish home in every corner of the\nglobe; it is fitting that there be one here.\nInside this small case is a small parchment on which are inscribed\nverses from the Bible.\nThe scroll inside the Mezuzah enjoins us to \"teach.\ndiligently\"\nthe\nwords\nof the Lord unto our children. The words of the Mezuzah are especially appropriate\nfor this house because the Martin Steinberg Center will be primarily a place for\nyoung people, young Jewish men and women engaged in all aspects of Jewish artistic\nexpression -- music and dance, painting and sculpture, fiction and film-making.\nHere they will come together to explore and develop their creative talents.\nHere they will exhibit their work, read their poems, play their music, share\ntheir creative efforts and develop a sense of community with each other --\nand we believe, with the sense of past Jewish tradition on which to make\nR.\ntheir own contributions to a vibrant, living Jewish culture.\nMORE\nSERALS\nTHEY\nX862\nLIBRARY\n- 2 -\nIt is only 12 days before the 200th anniversary of the signing of the\nAmerican Declaration of Independence, and we in the American Jewish Congress\nshould like to regard this building as a kind of contribution to the Bicentennial.\nFor we believe deeply that as Americans we make our most valuable and original\ncontribution to our community and to our country as we give authentic expression\nto all that is Jewish within in. We are better Americans because we are better\nJews. We are authentic Americans as we are authentic Jews.\nIn the 60 years since its founding the American Jewish Congress has done\nbattle on many occasions for civil rights and civil liberties for all Americans\nin the great and ongoing struggle to perfect American democracy. We have done so\nout of the injunctions of our prophet to pursue justice, to practice righteous-\nness, to love one's neighbor as one's self.\nToday we dedicate this building as a center for that part of our program\nwhich seeks to enhance the creative continuity of the Jewish people through\nprograms of Jewish education, through publications of our magazines: Congress\nMonthly and Judaism, through the inauguration of a wide variety of programs\ndesigned to \"teach. diligently\" unto our children - and ourselves. all that\nwhich is precious in our heritage.\nWe see no separation, no division, no dichotomy between the tasks of\nadvancing human freedom and strengthening Jewish life. These tasks are one --\njoined by our past history and by our present condition. And here they are\n-\njoined by a garden. Here we stand in the Martin S. Steinberg Center --\nthe place devoted to our Jewish culture. It is a link to our past, through\nthe great Jewish books that line its shelves. And it is an expression of faith\nin the future, a vote of confidence in our younger generation. For we believe\nthat works of literature and art and music that will be read here and listened to\nand played and even created here will lead to a greater awareness of the Jewish\nheritage, a greater appreciation of the Jewish cultural tradition, a more authentic\nJewish expression.\nOpposite us is Stephen Wise Congress House, our national headquarters,\nnamed for our founder and longtime President, a great and courageous fighter for\nthe noblest ideals of the Jewish heritage and of America's great promise. The\ntwo buildings are joined not only by a garden but by the commitment we bring\nto improving the world unto the Almighty and to teaching His word and his law\n\"diligently\" unto our children.\n- 3 -\nMrs. Ford, I should now like to present to you this silver Mezuzah as a\ngift for you and the president from the American Jewish Congress. I remember\nthat when the State of Israel was declared, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the first President\nof Israel, cameto the White House and gave to President Harry Truman a scroll\nof the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. Dr. Weizmann told President\nTruman in presenting the gift to him that the Torah, the most precious possession\nof the Jewish people, belonged not only to Israel but to America as well, for it\ncontains the very precepts of justice and liberty and respect for human dignity\nby which our country was founded. And President Truman brought it to the White\nHouse and then to the Truman Library next to his home in Independence, Mo.\nOn the eve of the Bicentennial of our country's founding, it seems to us\nin the American Jewish Congress that it would be proper and fitting that you,\nas the First Lady of this land, should have something that belongs to the Jewish\npeople and because we Jews are part of this country -- that belongs to America\nas well.\nLet this Mezuzah, which is fixed to the lintel of every Jewish home in\nAmerica and wherever there are Jews, be part of your home too. It represents\nall that is most authentically Jewish - and hence authentically American - -- in us,\nand we give it to you in friendship, in admiration and in love.\nXXX\nMemorandum from\nAMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS\n15 East 84th St., New York, N.

With his wife Lillian, Mr. Steinberg has given the im-\npetus for many innovative programs undertaken by the American Jewish Congresss.\nThe Steinberg have provided funds for two major additions to the Hostel,\nwhich serves as a social and cultural center for young visitors to Israel from\naround the world and for young Israelis. The Lillian and Martin Steinberg\nGarden Pavilion, dedicated in 1973, serves as an informal coffee house, meeting\nplace and center of many of the Hostel's social and cultural activities.\nIn March 1974, ground breaking for the Hostel's Lillian and Martin\nSteinberg Cultural Center was begun. This new three-story building will, when\ncompleted, include a threatre, library, movie and film projection room and\ndining facilities, and will also serve as a community center for the youth of\nthe suburbs of Jerusalem.\nLillian Steinberg has given more than a quarter century of service to\nthe Congress, having held leadership positions in every facet of AJCongress\nwork, including organization and membership, fundraising, law and social\naction, international affairs and Jewish cultural affairs. She served as\npresident of the National Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress from\nfrom 1962 to 1965 and was recently elected an honorary vice-president of the\nAmerican Jewish Congress and co-chairman of its Commission on Jewish Affairs.\nLast December the American Jewish Congress presented Lillian and\nMartin Steinberg with its Stephen Wise Award for \"distinguished service to\nthe Jewish people.\"\nThe Steinbergs are residents of Brooklyn. Mrs. Steinberg is a former\nteacher in the city's elementary schools. Mr. Steinberg is a retired realtor\nand investor.\nXXX\n212\nDedication - The Martin Steinberg Cultural Center\n15 East 84 Street, New York City\nRemarks by Martin E. Segal - Chairman, Commission for\nCultural Affairs of the City of New York\nJune 22, 1976\nMrs. Ford, Mr. Squadron, Mr. Steinberg, Honored Guests:\nI want to thank the American Jewish Congress for asking me to join in\nthis ceremony at the new Martin Steinberg Cultural Center. Today's dedication\nof a center for the arts reminds me of a modest story for which I ask your\nindulgence.\nTwo women emerged from an art exhibit, exhilarated by what they had\nseen. Suddenly one turned to the other and said: \"You know, even though\nI love abstract art, I really can't have abstract paintings in my home. After\nall, I do have a 16 year old daughter.\"\nHer friend was puzzled. \"What does that have to do with it?\" she\nasked.\n\"Well,\" said the mother, \"with those abstract paintings, you just never\nknow whether they are decent or not.\"\nThis little anecdote about a naive mother points whimsically toward\nthe theme that underlies this dedication.\nThomas Carlyle, in a critical essay published in 1827, said: \"The\ngreat law of culture is: Let each become all that he was created capable\nof being.\"\nI cannot help think how that view, in all its nobility, contrasts with\nanother view voiced 100 years later. Said the speaker: \"When I hear anyone\ntalk of culture, I reach for my revolver.\" Hermann Goering, who made that\nstatement, truly meant what he said - and he spoke for all Nazis as well.\nCulture, which embraces that which is excellent in the arts, sums up\nthe aspirations of man. Needless to say, a center devoted to culture sums\nup the aspirations of civilization. Its very existence affirms our commitment\nto decency and excellence.\nThe establishment of the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center is a major\nstep in the enrichment of New York's cultural life. It is true that New York\nis home to many cultural organizations. But it can never be home to too many.\nFor in an era when the City's preeminence is challenged in a number of areas,\n- 2 -\nits stature as a cultural leader remains undiminished. Indeed, cultural\nleadership assumes new importance in these trying times.\nSome 50,000 people in New York City depend for their living on the\nlocal \"cultural industry.\" They work in the theater or concert worlds, for\nour museums, libraries, botanical gardens or ZOOS -- they are involved in\nballet and opera, film or other activities.\nThis industry spends over $3 billion annually in New York City, making\na vital contribution to the health of our economy. For its part, the\nCity spends $25 million a year, in services and in funds, to help maintain\ninstitutions and activities which are components of this industry. In\nreturn for every dollar it so spends, the City gets back $4 directly in\ntaxes and much more indirectly.\nThe City's contributions are, of course, vitally important to the\nvigor of the arts in New York. Equally important are the financial\ncontributions of philanthropists such as Martin Steinberg, who through\ntheir own resources endow the arts with moral and financial support.\nSectarian or ethnic involvement in the arts is by no means rare. In\nNew York it is warmly welcomed and encouraged, for our City boasts as\none of its treasures an ethnically diverse population. Its Jews, who\nderive from many different backgrounds, have made valuable contributions\nto the cultural life of the City. The list of Jewish musicians, singers\nand artists, sculptors and composers is long and impressive. They include\nLeonard Bernstein, Beverly Sills, Richard Rogers, Barbra Streisand and\nothers too numerous to mention.\nBut in addition to these distinguished Jews, and many as yet unknown\nbut destined to achieve success and prominence, there are the other ethnic\ngroups the Blacks, Hispanics, Italians and Orientals who live in\nthis City with us, and who enrich it with their commitments of toil and\ntalent.\nOne of New York's major contributions to American culture has been\nthe musical theater. It is here in this City that the musical theater,\nfrom the early days of \"Floradora\" to \"A Chorus Line,\" has grown and\nflourished.\n- 3 -\nOver the decades, in just this one segment of the arts so uniquely\nlinked to New York, artists of all types and backgrounds have made important\ncontributions to our lives and to culture. The musicals now on Broadway\nillustrate the kind of ethnic diversity which typifies that art form and gives\nit such vitality.\n\"Bubbling Brown Sugar\" is a retrospective of the best in Black music,\nand \"The Wiz\" is a musical version of the Oz story that scintillates with an\nall-Black cast. \"Chicago\" co-stars Chita Rivera, a Hispanic, and \"A Chorus\nLine\" has made a singing and dancing star of Cookie Vasquez. \"Pacific\nOvertures\" stars several Orientals, including Mako, Yuki Shimoda, and Soon\nTeckoh. The cast of \"Grease\" includes such Italian-Americans as Albert Infinnia,\nRay De Mettis, Joy Rinaldi and Frank Piegaro.\nEven White, Protestant Anglo-Saxons are represented -- there is\n\"Shenandoah\" at the Alvin Theater.\nThe musical theater is a microcosm of the arts. The diversity which\ncharacterizes it is now common in other areas -- the films, television and\nthe novel, for example. The diversity which New York City has found to be\nso enriching has enriched the country as well, and indeed the world.\nAt a time like the present when the strains and stresses of the City's\nfinancial problems are putting pressure on the City's social fabric, the\nforward movement of its cultural life is truly a binding and affirmative force.\nThe Martin Steinberg Cultural Center, I am certain, will make a valuable\ncontribution to cultural activities in New York. Its list of suggested programs\nis varied and ambitious. In the area of film, the Center proposes to work\nclosely with young film makers as well as campus groups, youth organizations\nand the like, to view films at the Center. It will periodically review and\nevaluate films of special interest, and through these and related activities,\nbecome an important resource center.\nThe Center's library will house an extensive collection representing\nall types of Jewish music, from liturgical to folk. There will be booths\nin which to listen to records and tapes, and workshops, seminars and other\nactivities will encourage young composers and musicians to identify with the CAD\nCenter, to use its facilities and to meet with special guest lecturers.\nLIBRARY\n- 4 -\nActivities planned for young writers include a writers' workshop and\npoetry readings. An attempt is being made to arrange special visits and\nworkshops by famous contemporary writers. Also under consideration is a\nplan to create a workshop for younger writers in high school in cooperation\nwith the Board of Jewish Education.\nWhat I have already described demonstrates the scope of this Center's\nambitions. But there is more. In the fields of art and photography, the\nCenter will provide space for the display and exhibition of works by talented\nyoung artists and photographers. Moreover, the Center hopes to get publicity\nand exposure for these artists to advance their careers.\nThe scribal arts have a long tradition in history, and the Center\nproposes to meet the special requirements of those in this field. It\nsimilarly proposes to help the growing number of young people involved in\ncrafts. In response to this need, the Youth Commission is arranging an outdoor\ncrafts fair in cooperation with the West Side Jewish Community Council.\nNeedless to say, there will be emphasis on the drama. In the past year\nalone, a number of theater groups have sprung up and are performing in New\nYork City. The Center will offer those interested in drama a place to meet\nand share common concerns. Help will be provided to find facilities for\nrehearsals and performances -- an area in which the Center has already been\nactive.\nThe library will have books and material relating to all the arts, and a\nspecial section will be reserved for the books and publications of the\nJewish student movement.\nFinally, the Center will sponsor an Arts Coffee House a delightful\ndiversion for young people involved in all aspects of cultural life. Each\nmonthly session will be devoted to a different art form, allowing for a broad\ninterchange of views and skills among those in differing disciplines. The\ncoffee house will give young artists the opportunity to share creatively with each\nother and to develop a feeling of community among themselves.\nAd hoc committees, I am told, have already begun meeting to explore these\nsuggestions so that the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center can become a magnetic\ncenter of cultural expression and serve as a model for communities elsewhere.\nLIBRARY\n- 5 -\nIt would be my hope, I might add, that the Center would serve as\na model cooperator for other ethnic groups within the City who aspire to\npreserve and codify that which they have already accomplished, while\nencouraging the development of further creative output. Serving this way\nas a prototype for other groups, the Martin Steinberg Cultural Center would\ninvest with true significance Carlyle's precept: \"Let's each become all\nthat he was created capable of being.\"\nBefore closing, I want to express on behalf of Mayor Beame and all\nof the City's citizens, our appreciation for the generosity of Martin\nSteinberg, which made this Cultural Center possible. In St. Paul's\nCathedral in London there is an inscription to Sir Christopher Wren: \"Si\nmonumentum requiris circumspice.\" Translated from the Latin, it means: \"If\nyou would see the man's monument, look around.\" How gratifying to look\naround at a monument, not merely of bricks and mortar, but of the spirit\nas well -- built to house a Center for that which is noblest in man -- the\nart and aspirations of a great civilization.\nnews\nAMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS\nSTEPHEN WISE CONGRESS HOUSE, 15 EAST 84th STREET NEW YORK, N.Y. 10028 TRAFALGAR 9-4500\nRichard Cohen, Director\nDept. of Public Relations\nFor Immediate Release\nMrs. Betty Ford will dedicate the city's newest Jewish cultural institu-\ntion the Martin Steinberg Center of the American Jewish Congress at 16 East 85th\nStreet . next Tuesday afternoon (June 22) at 4:00 p.m.\nThe center is designed to serve as a gathering place for young Jewish ar-\ntists, writers, musicians and filmmakers. It includes a music library and listening\nbooths, a circulating and reference library, a screening room for film presentations,\nand exhibition space for work by Jewish artists and sculptors.\nFunds for the new center were provided by a gift from Martin Steinberg,\na Brooklyn realtor. Mr. Steinberg, a longtime supporter of the Congress, is the hus-\nband of Lillian Steinberg, an active leader of the organization who served as presi-\ndent of its national women's division from 1962 to 1965.\nBefore formally unveiling a plaque bearing Mr. Steinberg's name, Mrs. Ford\nwill watch as Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, president of the Congress, recites the appro-\npriate blessing and affixes a Mezuzah to the doorpost of the building leading to a\ngarden that separates the Steinberg Center from Stephen Wise Congress House, national\nheadquarters of the Congress.\nA Mezuzah is a small parchment on which are inscribed verses from the Bi-\nble, rolled tightly and placed in a small case that is affixed to the doorposts of a\nJewish home. The Jewish tradition of the Mezuzah is taken from Chapter 6, Verse 9 of\nDeuteronomy, which states: \"And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house,\nand upon thy gates.\"\nFollowing the dedication ceremonies in the garden of the center, Martin E.\nSegal, chairman of the New York City Commission for Cultural Affairs, will address a\nreception of leaders of the American Jewish Congress.\nMrs. Bertie Schwartz, donor of the Charles and Bertie Schwartz Jewish Read-\ning Room and Library, and Bernard L. Madoff, who contributed the Bernard L. Madoff\nJewish Music Library, will also speak.\nA musical presentation by Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus and a poetry reading by\nDiane Levenberg will conclude the ceremonies. Visitors to the Martin Steinberg\nCenter will also see an exhibition of photographs by William S.
