Nehemiah Gitelson was born in Svenziany, Poland in 1853. He studied at the Yeshivas in
Mir and Volozhin, obtaining ordination, although he never entered the rabbinate. He
first came to the United States in 1880, and made his home in New York City, running the
company Nehemiah Gitelson and Sons, cotton converters and commission merchants. Gitelson
was a strong supporter of Talmudic study. In 1905, he founded the Chevra Shass at the
Congregation Sons of Israel Kalwarie in New York City, leading this organization for
more than twenty five years. His personal collection of over 1100 volumes was bequeathed
to the Jewish Theological Seminary library, where it is known as the Nehemiah Gitelson
Talmudic Library. The JTS, as well as Alpha Epsilon Pi, a national Jewish college
fraternity, award a medal annually in Gitelson’s memory. Nehemiah Gitelson was married
to Bailey Weiseiski and had several children including Moses Leo Gitelson, Bertha
Gitelson, and Tessie Gitelson Feinfeld.
Born in Mariampol, Russia (currently Lithuania) on December 12, 1896 to Nehemiah and
Bailey Gitelson, Moses (M.) Leo was brought to America in 1901. Gitelson was educated at
public schools and at the Teachers Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, receiving a diploma in 1915. Gitelson received a B.S. from the College of the
City of New York in 1916 and a Master's of Business Administration from New York
University in 1921. In 1926, he received a Ph.D. in Economics and Business
Administration from New York University. Gitelson was a veteran of World War I, serving
in the Chemical Warfare Service. Beginning in 1916, Gitelson worked for his father’s
firm, Nehemiah Gitelson and Sons. He developed it into the Gitelson Fabrics Corp. and
the Benguitelle Corp. Gitelson was also involved in the New York Board of Trade and the
Textile Fabrics Association. An ardent bibliophile, Gitelson took an interest in
microfilms, and through the Gitelson Library Foundation gave copies of rare books,
manuscripts and other documents to many institutions including the Library of Congress,
the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and the British Museum. Gitelson was publisher of
The Chronicle and The
Magnet, scholarly quarterlies. He was an overseer of the Jewish Theological
Seminary and a trustee of the Jewish Publication Society of America. He was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholarship fraternity, and Alpha Epsilon Pi. M. Leo Gitelson
married Miriam Silverman on July 14, 1935 and had two daughters, Consuelo (Connie)
Gitelson Gruber and Dr. Susan Aurelia Sarah Gitelson. He died on August 23, 1964.
Susan Gitelson was born on April 17, 1941, in New York, N.Y. She studied history at
Barnard College and then worked for The Rockefeller Foundation as a trainee in office
procedures. She earned a Master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia
University in 1966 and a Ph.D. from Columbia in 1970. Dr. Gitelson has worked as an
entrepreneur, author, professor, international consultant, and philanthropist. She was
an assistant professor of International Relations and African Studies at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem (1970-1975) and then a Research Associate at the Columbia
University Middle East Institute. She was also the director of international and third
world affairs of the World Jewish Congress. In business ventures, she has been president
of International Consultants, Inc., SJ International Corp., and Magic Touch Icewares
International Corp. Gitelson serves on the Board of several major educational
institutions including The Hebrew University, Columbia School of International and
Public Affairs, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the Sutton Place Synagogue. In
addition, she sponsors scholarships and symposia at these institutions as well as the
Truman Institute’s Gitelson Peace Publications.
The Gitelson Family Papers consist of business and personal correspondence and records
of this prominent New York City family, beginning with Nehemiah Gitelson, continuing
through his son, M. Leo Gitelson, and his granddaughter, Susan Aurelia Sarah Gitelson.
The business records include correspondence, ledgers, business cards and other various
materials documenting the firm of Nehemiah Gitelson and Sons, as well as Gitelson
Fabrics Corp. and the Benguitelle Corp. Business correspondence also documents M. Leo
Gitelson's work with the New York Board of Trade and the American Standards Association.
Personal correspondence and records includes letters to and from Nehemiah Gitelson and
his children (M. Leo, Bertha, and Tessie), information on the education of his children,
as well as correspondence of Susan Gitelson.
The collection also documents M. Leo and Susan Gitelson's involvement in the
Gitelson-Kamaiko Cousins Club and the Gitelson-Kamaiko Foundation through the
publication of the Chronicle and the Magnet, including proofs and drafts of these
publications. Furthermore, the collection thoroughly documents the Nehemiah Gitelson
Foundation and its sponsorship of various microfilming and library projects, as well as
awards and scholarship.
Span dates for the collection are 1888-2011, with the bulk of the material falling
between 1910 and 1963. The collection has been maintained in original order as donated.
The Gitelson Family Papers are open to all users. The original manuscript collection
is available in the Barrows-Loebelson Reading Room of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center
of the American Jewish Archives.
