22. Emma Lazarus Emma Lazarus. (18491887). By Diane Lichtenstein. Give me your tired,your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, proclaims http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/lazarus.html

Emma Lazarus By Diane Lichtenstein "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," proclaims the "Mother of Exiles" in Emma Lazarus's sonnet "The New Colossus." Her best-known contribution to mainstream American literature and culture, the poem has contributed to the belief that America means opportunity and freedom for Jews, as well as for other "huddled masses." Through this celebration of the "other," Lazarus conveyed her deepest loyalty to the best of both America and Judaism. Born on July 22, 1849, Lazarus was the fourth of Esther (Nathan) and Moses Lazarus's seven children. She grew up in New York and Newport, Rhode Island, and was educated by private tutors with whom she studied mythology, music, American poetry, European literature, German, French, and Italian. Her father, who was a successful sugar merchant, supported her writing financially as well as emotionally. In 1866, when Emma was only seventeen, Moses had Poems and Translations: Written Between the Ages of Fourteen and Sixteen printed "for private circulation." Daughter Emma dedicated the volume "To My Father."

Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: Emma Lazarus Great-grandfather Samuel Lazarus had joined with Gershom Mendes Seixas in organizing Kalfe Sedakah a society for the relief of those stricken by yellow fever in the epidemic of 1798, and had himself fallen victim to it. His son, Eleazar S., American-born son of German Ashkenazic immigrants, became the leading authority on Sephardic liturgy in the first half of the nineteenth century. Eleazer also served as parnas (president) of the Shearith Israel Congregation, as did his eldest son, Samuel, who, like his father, would on occasion lead the service in the synagogue. The second son, Moses, married Esther Nathan, the daughter of an aristocratic Sefardi family and made his fortune in the sugar refining business. They raised six daughters. Private tutorial schooling, stressing literature and languages, was provided for the Lazarus children; Hebrew education was not. Like others in their group, the Lazarus family relegated their Jewish religious life to the formal, occasional expression that good manners required. Thirty original poems and forty-four translations from the German (Heinrich Heine) and the French (Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo), seventy-four poetic pieces in all, written by Emma Lazarus between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, make up this book. Not one of them is of Jewish content or interest. Her "Jewish soul" as she termed it, was not awakened till later in life. The dedication is "To My Father," Moses Lazarus, who had the volume printed for private circulation in New York in 1866.

She did not live to see the statue erected, and never knew that her work would be engraved and placed on the statue's base. Yet her poem became the statue's mission statement, identifying it in the minds of the public as a signal of welcome to immigrants from around the world. The statue and nearby Ellis Island have been closed to visitors since the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame

Whether the plague traveled by engines of war or by trade ships, once it reached Europe it spread rapidly; in a few years the Black Death killed as many as 25 million people, or about a third of the population. In his "Florentine Chronicle," Marchione di Coppo Stefani, born 1336, gives an account, adapted here, of the plague's impact on his native Florence.

THE NEW EZEKIEL by: Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) HAT, can these dead bones live, whose sap is dried By twenty scorching centuries of wrong? Is this the House of Israel, whose pride Is as a tale that's told, an ancient song? Are these ignoble relics all that live Of psalmist, priest, and prophet? Can the breath Of very heaven bid these bones revive, Open the graves and clothe the ribs of death? Yea, Prophesy, the Lord hath said. Again Say to the wind, Come forth and breathe afresh, Even that they may live upon these slain, And bone to bone shall leap, and flesh to flesh. The Spirit is not dead, proclaim the word, Where lay dead bones, a host of armed men stand! I ope your graves, my people, saith the Lord, And I shall place you living in your land.

NYC 's - Emma Lazarus Commemorative Tablet Rededication - Battery Park May 14, 2002 at Battery Park, New York City Bryant Park River to River Festival Previous 2001st Parks Sign Unveiling Downtown Lower Tip Photos On May 14th, 2002 no-one could've asked for a better evening for any sort of outdoor function. With the wonderful sea breeze rushing through our heads and the beautiful sun shining above our heads we all gathered at Battery Park for the rededication of the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Tablet. Originally inscribed on a bronze plaque placed on the interior wall of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty monument in 1903, this plaque now sits within our very own Battery Park . Emma (1849-1887) was inspired to write poetry that emotionally protested against the persecution of the Jews in Russia at a time when anti-Jewish attacks took place there well over a century ago. This function, existing not only for the unveiling of this important plaque but for remembering Emma Lazarus herself served well to remind even yours truly of the great value one should place on one's own freedom in today's world. There may never have been such a more appropriate time for such a function to take place considering all that's happened in New York City, and considering the strength and will we've all shown in the face of adversity. There are quite a number of plaques and statues within Battery Park. You can find the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Tablet near the western end.

document.write(""); LAZARUS LAZARUS (a contracted form of the Heb. name Eleazar, " God has helped," Gr. Aafapos), a name which occurs in the New Testament in two connexions. i. LAZARUS OF BETHANY, brother of Martha and Mary. The story that he died and after four days was raised from the dead is told by John (xi., xii.) only, and is not mentioned by the Synoptists. By many this is regarded as the greatest of Christ's miracles. It produced a great effect upon many Jews; the Aeta Pilati says that Pilate trembled when he heard of it, and, according to Bayle's Dictionary, Spinoza declared that if he were persuaded of its truth he would become a Christian. The story has been attacked more vigorously than any other portion of the Fourth Gospel, mainly on two grounds, (i.) the fact that, in spite of its striking character, it is omitted by the Synoptists, and (ii.) its unique significance. The personality of Lazarus in John's account, his relation to Martha and Mary, and the possibility that John reconstructed the story by the aid of inferences from the story of the supper in Luke x. 40, and that of the anointing of Christ in Bethany given by Mark and Matthew, are among the chief problems. The controversy has given rise to a great mass of literature, discussions of which will be found in the lives of Christ, the biblical encyclopaedias and the commentaries on St John. See article in the Century Magazine, New Series, xiv. 875 (portrait p. 803), afterwards prefixed as a Memoir to the collected edition of The poems of Emma Lazarus (2 vols., 1889). (I. A.)

The Week's Famous and Infamous Women Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Emma Lazarus from 'The New Colossus' Voice of America's Immigrants Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) Emma Lazarus is remembered today primarily for her poem The New Colossus that graces the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, but during her lifetime, Emma didn't receive any recognition for the poem and was known primarily for her outspoken opinions about Jewish issues. Raised in a prominent and well-do-to family in Manhattan, Emma was well educated and had become an established writer and poet by the time she was 25 years old, publishing articles on music, art, and literature in the Century and the Critic The New Colossus to help raise money for constructing the pedestal of Statue of Liberty, but after its initial publication, the poem was forgotten. The pedestal was still three years away from completion. After Emma's death at age 37, a New York art patron named Georgina Schuyler found The New Colossus inside the portfolio of poems that had been written for the 1883 fundraising effort. Georgina was struck by the poem and arranged to have its last five lines become a permanent part of the Statue of Liberty monument. Irving Berlin wrote the poem into one of his musicals and in 1945, all 14 lines of the poem were placed over the Statue of Liberty's main entrance. Emma was born on July 22, 1849.
