The National Jewish Welfare Board (JWB) was formed on April 9, 1917, three days after the United States declared war on Germany, in order to support Jewish soldiers in the U.S. military during World War I.[1] The impetus for creating the organization stemmed from Secretary of War, Newton Baker and Secretary of Navy, Josephus Daniels.[1] The organization was also charged with recruiting and training rabbis for military service, as well as providing support materials to these newly commissioned chaplains. The JWB also maintained oversight of Jewish chapel facilities at military installations.[2] History Postcard, 1919 In 1921, several organizations merged with the JWB to become a national association of Jewish community centers around the country in order to integrate social activities, education, and active recreation. These merged organizations included the YWHA, YMHA, and the National Council of Young Men's Hebrew and Kindred Association.[2][3] In 1941, the United Service Organizations for National Defense was brought into existence through Presidential order February 4. The USO was incorporated in New York state as a private, nonprofit organization, supported by private citizens and corporations. President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted the morale of military personnel to remain high and believed that current service organizations would be better suited for the job than the Department of Defense.[4] The six private organizations were - the National Catholic Community Service (NCCS),Young Men's Christian Association YMCA, Young Women's Christian Association YWCA, the National Jewish Welfare Board (NJWB), the Traveler's Aid Association and the Salvation Army. These organizations were challenged to handle the on-leave morale and recreational needs for members of the Armed Forces. The six organizations pooled their resources and the United Service Organizations, which quickly became known as the USO, was incorporated in New York on February 4, 1941.[5] In 1942 the NJWB established the National Jewish Music Council; a sub-organization of the NJWB whose purpose was to promote cultural programming, publish literature, and produce recordings on subjects related to music of the Jewish people. The organization presented an annual Jewish Music Festival in addition to sponsoring other events such as performances and lectures. The organization also produced recordings of Jewish music and published biographies, handbooks, and other scholarly materials.[6] In the 1950s, during the Second Red Scare, the NJWB encouraged Jewish community centers to ban radical Jewish speakers from using their facilities.[7][undue weight? – discuss][failed verification][8] The Jewish Young Fraternalists, the youth arm of the communist Jewish People's Fraternal Order, was expelled in 1953 from the National Jewish Youth Conference, an organization sponsored by the NJWB.[9] The organization is now the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council®, part of JCC Association of North America.[10] The Council sends religious artifacts and supplies for Jewish holidays, including Passover Seder kits, Hanukkah candles, four species for Tabernacles, and more.[11] Related links Wikimedia Commons has media related to National Jewish Welfare Board.

Although Jewish Americans represented a large and diverse community, they had no single organization that was positioned to execute war work on behalf of Jews at the beginning of the war. For this reason, members of more than ten national Jewish groups met and agreed that each of their groups would delegate power to a new agency, the Jewish Welfare Board.[1] While the American Jewish community had formed a single group dedicated to providing war work services to American soldiers, they were not immediately incorporated into the United States war work effort as run by the Commission on Training Camp Activities. The War Department had previously established the Commission, whose duty was to defend and protect the moral well being of the American soldier. The Commission on Training Camp Activities almost immediately partnered with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), but refused to allow other religious groups, including Catholics, to become partner agencies. The chairman of the Commission on Training Camp Activities, Raymond Fosdick, eventually “agreed to give the Welfare Board informal authorization to serve as one of the government’s agents for welfare work with soldiers.”[2] By September of 1917, the Jewish Welfare Board was the official Jewish partner of the Commision on Training Camp Activities, one of five American religious groups chosen for partnership.

During the war, the Welfare Board organized an incredible number and variety of war work components in U.S. armed forces camps at home and overseas. The Board provided spiritual support to 225,000 Jewish soldiers, while also serving the interests of the American armed forces at large.[3] According to the executive director of the Jewish Welfare Board, Chester Jacob Teller, one contribution was the erection of “thirty buildings, not to overlap, not to duplicate, but to supplement the facilities created by other agencies,” to be used for recreational and religious purposes.[4] Their goal was not to compete with other participating agencies, but to succeed together. Additionally, the Jewish Welfare Board secured “governmental sanction… for the sale of Kosher non-perishable food products in the camps” where Jewish soldiers were stationed.[5] In this action, the Jewish Welfare Board hoped to give each soldier the ability to pursue his religious traditions during wartime. Whether they were Jewish or not, the Board provided moral guidance, religious services, and virtuous recreation to as many soldiers as possible over the course of the conflict in order to support American boys in their time of need. Americanization and Acceptance unitedweserve_poster Figure 3. A poster advertising the united campaign. Courtesy of the Library of Congress. While the Jewish Welfare Board was created for the purpose of supporting American soldiers during the war, it was also focused on fostering acceptance of the Jewish community by the American public. Facing a predominantly Protestant society in the early twentieth century, the Jewish Welfare Board clashed with an “invisible sectarianism” that colored the beginnings of the United War Work Campaign.[6] While the YMCA was immediately chosen by Chairman Fosdick to partner with the Commission on Training Camp Activities, he and Secretary of War Newton Baker believed that it would act without religious bias, serving American soldiers regardless of their religious affiliations. Only the exclusion of Catholic and Jewish representatives on the YMCA’s National War Work Council forced a reluctant Fosdick to acknowledge the implicit sectarian divisions between the groups of the United War Work Campaign operating under the Commission on Training Camp Activities.[7] The challenges that the Jewish Welfare Board faced in its struggle for official government recognition were indicative of the larger question of the Jewish role in American society. Members of the Jewish Welfare Board and of the Jewish community as a whole were eager to show that the beliefs of Judaism do not conflict, but instead intertwine, with the aspirations of American democracy. An article in the American Israelite states that the goal of the Board was “to help Jewish boys to adjust themselves to understand and sympathize with their gentile brothers-in-arms and to be in turn understood by them.”[8] The Jewish Welfare Board went to great lengths to facilitate unity within the groups of the United War Work Campaign, in order to emphasize its harmony with the American ideals of the day. After its recognition as a formal partner of the Commission on Training Camp Activities, the Jewish Welfare Board showed a remarkable amount of cooperation with other member groups. The YMCA, which had originally denied the Board a position on its National War Work Council, had built a friendly relationship with the Jewish Welfare Board by the end of the war. Dr. John Mott, a leader of the YMCA, said that the work of the Board was of “distinctive and vital function,” and “cannot be done by any other organization of workers.”[9] Father John Burke, chairman of the National Catholic War Council, corresponded regularly with Chairman Harry Cutler of the Jewish Welfare Board, and they agreed on the importance of a unified fundraising drive as part of the United War Work Campaign. Once incorporated into the “Seven Sisters” of the United War Work Campaign, the Jewish Welfare Board was able to both support American soldiers and sailors as well as demonstrate the indivisibility of the Jewish and American spirits. Colonel Harry Cutler Harry Cutler served as the chairman of the Jewish Welfare Board during the Great War, acting on behalf of his fellow Jewish Americans. Cutler was born in Russia in 1876. He came to the United States eight years later with his mother and sister after a escaping a pogrom that counted Cutler’s father as one of its victims.[10] By the early 1900s, he had become a successful jewelry manufacturer who was quickly gaining the respect of Providence, Rhode Island community, even being appointed to the National Board of Trade and elected to the Rhode Island General Assembly.[11] Likely because of the experiences of his family and his heritage as a Russian Jew, Cutler embraced the causes of Zionism and Jewish relief work around the globe. After the Kishinev pogrom of 1903, he organized and served as chairman on the United Jewish Relief Committee of Providence. As chairman, Cutler was able to unite 44 different Jewish community organizations to work in harmony.[12] Although the Committee did not last, this feat cemented his leadership abilities among American Jews. Not surprisingly, then, Harry Cutler replaced Cyrus Adler as Chairman of the Jewish Board for Welfare Work in July of 1917.[13] Members of the board believed that Cutler would be more representative of the group (later to be renamed the Jewish Welfare Board) as a Jewish immigrant from Russia, rather than Adler, who came from a German background. Furthermore, Cutler had earned the title of “Colonel” while serving with the Rhode Island National Guard, giving him added credibility with the military. As its new Chairman, Cutler pushed relentlessly on his government to provide for Jewish soldiers serving in the armed forces. After visiting Washington, D.C. in August, 1917, “officials assured Cutler that Jewish servicemen at home and abroad would have adequate facilities for religious services and social events, enough furlough time for the high holy days, and Jewish chaplains in the near future.”[14] His lobbying efforts also resulted in formal recognition for the Jewish Welfare Board, allowing them to act as the official Jewish war work agency throughout the war.[15] After the conclusion of the First World War, Harry Cutler was elected by the American Jewish Congress to a delegation to represent Jewish interests at the Paris Peace Conference. His goal at the conference was to secure equal rights for Jews around the globe, which was met with mixed success.[16] In 1919, Cutler was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, and died soon after on August 28, 1920.[17] Oscar Littleton Chapman (October 22, 1896 – February 8, 1978) was the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, during President Truman's administration, from 1949 to 1953.

He started taking night classes at the University of Denver, spent the 1927–1928 school year at the University of New Mexico, before eventually receiving his LLB from the law school of Westminster University (now a part of the University of Denver) in 1929.[1] During World War I, Chapman served in the United States Navy Medical Corps, from 1918 to 1920. Chapman was manager of Edward P. Costigan's Senate campaign in 1930, and the Alva B. Adams Senate campaign in 1932. After Franklin Roosevelt's election in 1932, he was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Interior. Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman (right), Under Secretary of the Interior Jebby Davidson (center), and President Harry S. Truman, (December 21, 1950). In 1939, Chapman was an early victim of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, as then-chairman Martin Dies, Jr. published a list of the government employees who were members of a Communist-controlled organization (Chapman was considered a member because there was a record that he had contributed two dollars to the American League for Peace and Democracy, which was raising money for the loyalists during the Spanish Civil War). At the 1944 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, Chapman was impressed by Truman sticking to his early agreement to support the current Vice-President Henry A. Wallace. He was promoted to serve as the Under-Secretary by President Harry S. Truman in 1946. Chapman was one of Truman's advisers supporting the decision to recognize the state of Israel in May 1948 over the objections of the State Department. Chapman worked to promote Truman in 1948 election, and late in 1949, was promoted to serve as Secretary of the Interior, replacing to Julius A. Krug, who had not supported Truman's campaign. In 1951, Chapman denied a government loan to the Harvey Aluminum Company, because of a scandal that Harvey had sold artillery shells to the Navy during World War II that were dangerously out of specification.[2] After end of his service in the Department of the Interior, he practiced law in the firm of Chapman, Duff, and Paul.

His first wife died in 1932. On February 24, 1940, after the death of his first wife, he married his second wife, the former Ann Kendrick (March 1, 1905 – April 4, 2003). They had one son, James Raleigh Chapman. Chapman died in Washington, D.C., aged 81, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The United States Department of the Interior (DOI) is an executive department of the U.S. federal government responsible for the management and conservation of most federal lands and natural resources. It also administers programs relating to Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, territorial affairs, and insular areas of the United States, as well as programs related to historic preservation. About 75% of federal public land is managed by the department, with most of the remainder managed by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.[3] The department was created on March 3, 1849. It is headquartered at the Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street NW in Washington, D.C. The department is headed by the secretary of the interior, who reports directly to the president of the United States and is a member of the president's Cabinet. The current secretary is Deb Haaland. As of mid-2004, the department managed 507 million acres (2,050,000 km2) of surface land, or about one-fifth of the land in the United States. It manages 476 dams and 348 reservoirs through the Bureau of Reclamation, 428 national parks, monuments, historical sites, etc. through the National Park Service, and 544 national wildlife refuges through the Fish and Wildlife Service. Despite its name, the Department of the Interior has a different role from that of the interior ministries of other nations, which are usually responsible for police matters and internal security. In the United States, national security and immigration functions are performed by the Department of Homeland Security primarily and the Department of Justice secondarily. The Department of the Interior has often been humorously called "the Department of Everything Else" because of its broad range of responsibilities.[4] History Formation of the department A department for domestic concern was first considered by the 1st United States Congress in 1789, but those duties were placed in the Department of State. The idea of a separate domestic department continued to percolate for a half-century and was supported by presidents from James Madison to James Polk. The 1846–48 Mexican–American War gave the proposal new steam as the responsibilities of the federal government grew. Polk's secretary of the treasury, Robert J. Walker, became a vocal champion of creating the new department.[5][6][7] In 1849, Walker stated in his annual report that several federal offices were placed in departments with which they had little to do. He noted that the United States General Land Office had little to do with the Treasury and also highlighted the Indian Affairs office, part of the Department of War, and the Patent Office, part of the Department of State. Walker argued that these and other bureaus should be brought together in a new Department of the Interior.[citation needed] A bill authorizing its creation of the department passed the House of Representatives on February 15, 1849, and spent just over two weeks in the Senate. The department was established on March 3, 1849 (9 Stat. 395), the eve of President Zachary Taylor's inauguration, when the Senate voted 31 to 25 to create the department. Its passage was delayed by Democrats in Congress who were reluctant to create more patronage posts for the incoming Whig administration to fill. The first secretary of the interior was Thomas Ewing. Several of the domestic concerns the department originally dealt with were gradually transferred to other departments. For example, the Department of Interior was responsible for water pollution control prior to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.[8] Other agencies became separate departments, such as the Bureau of Agriculture, which later became the Department of Agriculture. However, land and natural resource management, American Indian affairs, wildlife conservation, and territorial affairs remain the responsibilities of the Department of the Interior. Controversies Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall was implicated in the Teapot Dome scandal of 1921. He was convicted of bribery in 1929, and served one year in prison, for his part in the controversy. A major factor in the scandal was a transfer of certain oil leases from the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy to that of the Department of the Interior, at Fall's behest. Secretary of the Interior James G. Watt faced criticism for his alleged hostility to environmentalism, for his support of the development and use of federal lands by foresting, ranching, and other commercial interests, and for banning the Beach Boys from playing a 1983 Independence Day concert on the National Mall out of concerns of attracting "an undesirable element". His 1983 resignation was prompted by a speech in which he said about his staff: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."[9][10] Under the Administration of President George W. Bush, the Interior Department's maintenance backlog climbed from $5 billion to $8.7 billion, despite Bush's campaign pledges to eliminate it completely. Of the agency under Bush's leadership, Interior Department Inspector General Earl Devaney has cited a "culture of fear" and of "ethical failure." Devaney has also said, "Simply stated, short of a crime, anything goes at the highest levels of the Department of Interior."[11] American Indians Within the Interior Department, the Bureau of Indian Affairs handles some federal relations with American Indians, while others are handled by the Office of Special Trustee. The current acting assistant secretary for Indian affairs is Lawrence S. Roberts, an enrolled member of the Oneida Tribe in Wisconsin. The department has been the subject of disputes over proper accounting for American Indian Trusts set up to track the income and distribution of monies that are generated by the trust and specific American Indian lands, which the government leases for fees to companies that extract oil, timber, minerals, and other resources. Several cases have sought an accounting of such funds from departments within the Interior and Treasury (such as the Minerals Management Service), in what has been a 15-year-old lawsuit. Some American Indian nations have also sued the government over water-rights issues and their treaties with the US. In 2010 Congress passed the Claims Settlement Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-291), which provided $3.4 billion for the settlement of the Cobell v. Salazar class-action trust case and four American Indian water rights cases.[12][13] On March 16, 2021, Deb Haaland, serving at that time as a member of Congress for New Mexico, took the oath of office as secretary, becoming the first American Indian to lead an executive department, and the third woman to lead the department.[14] Operating units The hierarchy of the U.S. Department of the Interior Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management, and Budget Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs Logo of the National Invasive Species Council Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance Office of International Affairs Office of Native Hawaiian Relations Office of Restoration and Damage Assessment Office of Policy Analysis National Invasive Species Council Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget, Finance, Performance and Acquisition Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization Deputy Director, Michelle E.
