Foreword
This history of B'nai B'rith has commissioned at the approach of the Bicentennial of the United States of America, when many of us were thinking in historical terms. America is nota single concept; it has grown into a rich, colorful tapestry of varied peoples, institutions, ideas, and ideals. In thinking of B'nai B'rith and its history, which then spanned across nearly seventy percent of the 200 years of the nation one of the oldest voluntary associations on the contemporary scene we asked ourselves: why nota history of B'nai B'rith working in tandem with the history of the nation of its birth?
Other writers have published partial and/or personal recollections of B'nai B'rith itself. One of the first was by Adolf Kraus, an early president of the fraternal order. Then came volumes by the late Maurice Bisgyer, who served as executive vice-president during my tenure as president of B'nai B'rith, and by Edward Grusd, former editor of the organization's National]ewish Monthly. As valuable as any one of these works may be in throwing light on B'nai B'rith's past, each differs from the present book. Recording the achievements in any given period may delight the author and the many whose names dot his pages. Analyzing the aims, activities, problems, successes, and failures of the organization in the framework of a relatively young nation, however, requires the skills and art of a historian.
How important was it to launch this present history? A catalogue of events might have been enough, especially for those who lived through some of them and understood their genesis and raison d'tre.
