 Roland B. Gittelsohn was born on May 13,
1910 in Cleveland, Ohio. He received a B.A. in 1931 from Western Reserve University
and a B.H. from Hebrew Union College in 1934. He was ordained at Hebrew Union
College in 1936. Gittelsohn then undertook graduate studies at the Teachers’
College, Columbia University and New School in New York. He also received two
honorary degrees in 1961, the first being a D.D. from Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion and the other a Sc.D. from Lowell Technological Institute
(now
Lowell University).
Gittelsohn led an active life, both in his position as a rabbi and in his political
life. In fact, he hardly distinguished the two, arguing that the role of a rabbi,
or
any religious leader for that matter, is to lead by positive example, especially
when political issues affect the poor, homeless, marginalized, or otherwise unlucky
of society. His early sermons, prior to World War II, make his pacifism quite
evident. Gittelsohn’s resolve on the issue of war was tested when he became a
chaplain in the Navy, though he reconciled this by drawing on the Jewish tradition
of a “just war.” Gittelsohn was a chaplain with the 5th Marine Division,
participating in the Iwo Jima invasion. His dedication of the cemetery and memorial
for Iwo Jima was widely publicized, mainly because of a controversy over having
a
rabbi say a prayer at the graves of non-Jews. This address is perhaps one of his
most famous legacies. He was also awarded three ribbons for his service at Iwo
Jima.
While it may appear to be a contradiction - a pacifist going to war - the war
solidified his determination that war must be a last resort for the good of
humanity. This was most evident in Gittelsohn’s outspoken condemnation of the
Vietnam War from the very beginning, which was a controversial position to take
especially in the early to mid-1960s. He was labeled a traitor by some, but an
upholder of democracy by many others whether they agreed with his position or
not.
This was also true during the McCarthy and House on Un-American Activities Committee
(HUAC) era when Gittelsohn publicly denounced the chipping away of civil liberties
in America in a time of over inflated fears.
In addition to his public political life, Gittelsohn was devoted to his
congregations. He first served at the Central Synagogue of Nassau County, N.Y.
from
1936-1953. He then moved on to Temple Israel in Boston, where he would remain
for
the rest of his career. In addition to his congregational duties, Gittelsohn also
was active in many organizations such as the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis, where
he
was president from 1958-1960; president of the Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Boston 1961-1963, president of the Central Conference of American
Rabbis (CCAR) 1969-1971, founding president of the Association of Reform Zionists
of
America (ARZA) 1977-1984 and the founding president of the World Zionist Executive
& Jewish Agency Board of Governors 1978-1984. Gittelsohn was also extremely
active in the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC). He was on its Board
of
Trustees and was the Vice Chairman 1973-1977, was an honorary life member and
the
Chairman of the Commission on Jewish Education 1959-1968. Gittelsohn received
two
awards from the UAHC, the Eisendrath Award in 1983 and the Jay Kaufman Award in
1984.
Gittelsohn was also devoted to political causes beyond the scope of American Judaism,
believing that the best work to be done is that which benefits all. He was on
President Truman’s Committee on Civil Rights in 1947, the Governor’s Commission
to
Survey Massachusetts Courts in 1955, Massachusetts Commission on Abolition of
the
Death Penalty 1957-1958, the Governor’s Committee on Migratory Labor 1960-1962
and
the Governor’s Committee to Survey Operation of Massachusetts Prisons 1961-1962.
Gittelsohn was also involved in and kept abreast of the latest in political
progressive ideas and movements, too diverse and abundant to recount.
Gittelsohn published numerous articles and books, such as Little Lower than Angels;
Man’s Best Hope; Modern Jewish Problems; Consecrated Unto Me; My Beloved is Mine;
Wings of the Morning; Fire in My Bones; The Meaning of Modern Judaism; Love, Sex,
and Marriage: A Jewish View; The Meaning of Modern Judaism; The Extra Dimension;
Here Am I; Harnessed to Hope; How Do I Decide?; Love in Your Life: A Jewish View
of
Teenage Sexuality.
Gittelsohn died on December 13, 1995. His first wife was Ruth Freyer with whom he
had
a son, David B. Gittelsohn, and a daughter, Judith Fales. His second wife was
Hulda
Tishler. He had two stepsons, Gerald Tishler and Douglas Tishler, four grandchildren
and three step-grandchildren.
The Roland B. Gittelsohn Papers contain the correspondence, writings and sermons of
Rabbi Gittelsohn, a prominent Boston rabbi.

| Series B. Subject and Sermon Files. 1934-1995. [33 Hollinger boxes] |
|
Scope and Content Note: Series B. Subject and sermon files is a collection of
topics that Gittelsohn was interested in and involved with. Once again his
file names were maintained. These files contain Gittelsohn’s notes, sermons,
articles, writings and some correspondence. One can gain insight into the
subjects that he was most concerned with from the titles of these files. Of
particular note are the files on anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and the
Association of Reform Zionists of America (ARZA). Gittelsohn was an ardent
supporter of Israel throughout his life as these files evidence. The other
topic that occupied much of Gittelsohn’s time and work was pacifism and the
search for social justice. His files on capitalism, fascism, war and peace
tie in nicely with those on Jewish ethics and free will. Among the many
interesting files in this series is the file on pacifism and conscientious
objection to war (53/1). This file contains articles, Gittelsohn’s notes and
other thoughts on laws and ethics regarding conscientious objectors during
the Vietnam War. Most stunning, however, are the first-hand accounts of
objectors that Gittelsohn collected. He was a staunch defender of those who
refused to support the war.
