Previous Volume

Ezra Mendelsohn’s book appeared in the series Essential Papers on Jewish Studies and is an excellent continuation of the previous volume, Essential Papers on Zionism. Both books present a complicated picture of the two most significant currents in contemporary Jewish political and ideological life. I would be glad to see a third volume on the traditional, conservative movements (with Agudat Yisrael as the most important) and perhaps another containing the other currents which cannot be represented in the previous books....

Chapter 10 proceeds in light of our suggestion that sagely behavior is freely chosen, benign, yet powerful, and seeks cooperation in the world in ways that are positive, progressive, nurturing, and constructive in nature. This chapter, however, accounts for people who have been gifted with or have assiduously developed powers of rapport or charisma, achieving notable fractal congruence in the social, political, or economic life of institutions or communities but who have gone the other way. This phenomenon over a wide range of scale can elevate those who become destructive or aggrandizing to the ultimate detriment of society. Numerous followers can gravitate to the kind of socially-fractally-adept individual that we call an anti-sage. The chapter discusses examples of the antisage phenomenon in cults and terrorist organizations such as the People’s Temple and Aum Shinrykyo. In this narrative pertinent expressions of human selfness include: Protean self vs. fundamentalist self and parochial altruism. Also explored are politics and government, notably the administration of George W. Bush, creed-based religions, particularly Christianity and Islam, and aggrandizement in educational administration, such as that of John Sexton’s presidency of New York University.

Clinical Cases

Miniimplant recently became a way of orthodontic treatment. Compared to the other implants, miniimplants are relatively small, allowing them to be placed between the dental roots in various areas of the jaws and serve as skeletal anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. The use of miniimplants for orthodontic skeletal anchorage may be an predictable and accurate alternative without requiring patient compliance, compared with conventional versions of anchorage. The paper presents a series of clinical cases seen and treated within the dental office of S.C. RANDI SRL and in the Department of Orthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry.

The Way

This chapter reviews the book The Impossible Jew: Identity and Reconstruction of Jewish American Literary History (2015), by Benjamin Schreier. In The Impossible Jew, Schreier challenges the dominance of a totalizing (historicist/nationalist/anthropologist) context in Jewish studies in America. Rather than asking what is “Jewish” in a text, he wishes to focus on scholars’ and readers’ inclination to conceptualize texts within one of these essentialist categories. He rejects the approach used by scholars to distinguish between the “Jews” and the “non-Jews.” Instead, he offers an alternative that highlights the way (Jewish) literature destabilizes these same categories. The Impossible Jew is thus a reflection on the impossibility of Jewishness as a coherent identity.

A Current

The safe storage and handling of plastic objects presents a pressing and often overlooked problem in many library and archival collections. Plastics are notoriously difficult to care for because they can deteriorate faster than other materials in archival collections. The so-called “malignant” plastics can also produce harmful degradation products that damage surrounding materials, including photographs and papers. Part of the issue is the myriad available tools for plastics identification, which can be both cumbersome and daunting. The other is that ideal storage environments for plastics recommended in the preservation literature are often difficult to achieve due to the accessibility needs and space constraints faced by many libraries and archives. This article introduces a current project at New York University Libraries that evaluates existing recommendations for the identification and housing of plastics, and provides guidelines for making scalable housing types that support user access.
