  ... assured the maintainance of clean-lines* and hygienic conditions. These ordinances became frequently the cause of complaints as they were not uniformly applied. Since the laws were en-forced by the non-Jewish policemen, discrimination in issuing fines for violations were not infrequent. Often it became the task of the Jewish Councilman to intervene on behalf of the victim to cither cancel or reduce the fine. The meetings at the City Council were often stormy, as some of the Jewish members would expose ordinances to be anti-Semitic in intent and execution. The position of the Jewish Councilman was an unenviable one. He fought the subtle and overt anti-Semites in the City Council and defended Jewish rights with vigor and dignity.

"The Odyssey of an American Zionist," in the Hebrew language to be given on gradua-tion day to the graduates of the public school in Kaanana, in which the Fischers arc very much interested, it would be a fine thing if they would buy an additional 100 copies of the 200. which I had donated to the Boibekker committee 111 Israel in the names of my brothers Samuel and Abraham Haber. The committee in Israel has sent one copy to each family of Boibcrkc who resides in Israel as a gift.

  ... a meager living by carrying water to the would not begin the services until Gottlieb sat in his place. I also recall the night after the fasting on Yom Kipur, the local band under the leadership of Chaim Gross, or Chaim Klender, (he played the clarinet) would come to Moishc Gottlieb’s house and played their instruments, and the younger set of the town would stand at the windows to listen to the fine music. Moishe Gottlieb felt that the streets of New York weren’t for him. He left for Palestine and when his wife, Roisclc. came from Boiberke to join him. they settled in Jerusalem. In 1912, when I was on a visit to Boiberkc. I was told that Gottlieb’s oldest son, Joscl. who was known as a Moshkc, always against the Jewish National Movement, had returned from a visit to his p3rcnts ...

  ... oxen. 147 cows and 66 pieces of farm equipment. The 8 families of Boiberke consisted of 11 men II women. 17 boys and 12 girls up to the age In July 1773 a rare ease occurred in Boiberke in connection with the marriage taxes. A Boiberker inkecper’s 14 year old son was married to a 12 year girl. Since the pair were not of legal age. they could not. according to the law. be prosecuted. However, their parents were prosecuted and paid a large fine. This should have warned the Jewish community about paying all taxes, even if they considered them to be unjust.

  ... civic serveant he did not concern himself with world affairs. He was not active in high politics, but always concerned himself with the problems of the little man, always seeking to give relief to those in need. A "Stadlan" — (intercessor) in the positive sense of the word. On countless occasions he would scurry from one hostile civic clerk to another in order to cancel a fine of a zloty or two that had been levied by a policeman or officer against some poor hawker. For many years he admistered the charity or-ganizations of the community, a task he was dedi-cated to. He looked upon this work as sacred. He would personally bring the money to the needy ones’ homes, and also went himself to collect the payments of debts. He never approached then as a claimant, but with downcast eyes ...
