Abstract:

Born in 1947, David M. Goldenberg attended the Rabbinical Seminary of America for Rabbinical training from 1965-1968. He obtained his B.A. from Queen's College (City University of New York) in Hebrew in 1970, did graduate work from 1971-1972 at Hebrew University and obtained his PhD. from Dropsie College in Post-Biblical Literature and Institutions in 1978.

Goldenberg began his professional career at Dropsie when he became a teaching fellow in Rabbinic Literature in 1974. He continued to serve Dropsie in various positions for the next twenty-five years, moving into the position of Assistant Professor in Post-Biblical Literature and Institutions (1978-1981) and Talmud and Rabbinic Literature (1981-1986). He became Academic Dean of the College in 1980 and served for one year in that position before taking over as the fifth President of Dropsie College, a position which he held for the next five years.

Goldenberg became President of the College at a critical moment in Dropsie's history. Moses Dropsie, a Philadelphia lawyer who made his fortune from his law practice and investments in Philadelphia streetcars, left his entire estate "for the promotion of and instruction in the Hebrew and Cognate languages and their respective literatures." Dropsie College was established in 1907 but by 1981, still located in the original College building which had been erected at Broad & York Streets in 1912, Dropsie was undergoing financial difficulties. A dwindling financial base, less than adequate facilities, a lack of local support, and a run-down neighborhood had the school on the verge of bankruptcy. The situation was further exacerbated in November 1981 when a fire, caused by arson, broke out in the building, a month after Goldenberg assumed the Presidency. Firemen rushing in to douse the flames soaked the books and cuneiform tablets, turning the latter to mud.

In the aftermath of the fire, there was a temporary move to Merion, Pennsylvania. With the help of the Board of Directors and the financial leadership of Ambassador Walter Annenberg, a new home was built for the College at 420 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, and in Annenberg's honor, the College was renamed the Annenberg Research Institute (ARI). In the process, the Institute ceased to operate as a degree-granting institution and became an institute devoted to post-doctoral research, modeled on the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J. Further years of introspection and planning led to a merger with the University of Pennsylvania and renaming ARI as the Center for Judaic Studies in 1993 and later the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies.

During his Presidency at Dropsie, Goldenberg was responsible for all facets of the institution including the academic program, curriculum design, administration (including recruitment of students, faculty, and personnel), finances (including fundraising and trustee development), buildings and maintenance, long-range planning, and public relations. Goldenberg remained President during Dropsie's final years until it became the Annenberg Research Institute for Judaic and Near Eastern Studies. He also served as editor for the Jewish Quarterly Review, the journal published by Dropsie College, and continued to serve as its editor for more than twenty years until 2003.

In 1986, Bernard Lewis was hired as the new Director of the Annenberg Research Institute and Goldenberg became the Associate Director. Goldenberg remained in this position, serving under three successive Directors in seven years and twice served as Acting Director in 1990-1991 and 1993-1994. In addition, Goldenberg held the positions of Adjunct Assistant Professor in Post-Biblical Literature (1993-2003) at the University of Pennsylvania and the Andrew Allen Senior Fellow at the Center for Judaic Studies (the successor to the Annenberg Research Institute) from 1998-2003. He also held the position of the Isidore and Theresa Cohen Professor in Jewish Religion and Thought at the University of Cape Town from 2004-2007.

In addition to his teaching positions, Goldenberg has written extensively on race and racism, publishing "The Curse of Ham: Race and Slavery in Early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World)" (Princeton University Press, 2003) and "Black and Slave: The Origins and History of the Curse of Ham," Studies of the Bible and Its Reception 10, (De Gruyter, 2017) and other articles.

The David M. Goldenberg Collection is composed of five series of materials, which were, by and large, organized and ordered prior to their arrival at the Library of the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. The materials encompass the years 1981-1985 when Goldenberg served as Director, interim terms as Acting Director in 1990-1991 and 1993-1994, as well as 1986-1999 when he served as Assistant Director of Dropsie College (also known at various times as Dropsie University, Dropsie Institute, Annenberg Research Institute and the Center for Judaic Studies) under Directors Bernard Lewis, Eric Meyers, William Brinner and David Ruderman.

The Professional Series is composed of personal and professional correspondence and materials, including copies of Goldenberg's curriculum vitae, circa 1986, forms and correspondence related to visiting fellowships in Tel Aviv in 1990 and 1991, a book tour in 1997, a sabbatical in 1992-1993 and dated (1982-1985) and undated speeches. Also included is a 1995-1996 Penn Planner and a "15 Year Photo Frame" given to Goldenberg by the Dean of Penn's School of Arts and Sciences in 2002.

The Administration Series contains the majority of the material from Dr. Goldenberg's years primarily as Director and Assistant Director. The array of folder titles (as labeled by Goldenberg or his assistant) demonstrate the wide range of responsibilities which the Director of Dropsie College/Annenberg Research Institute had to deal with: relationships, meetings and correspondence with Alumni, Faculty, Fellows, Personnel, Students and the Board of Directors, maintenance of the buildings and grounds and their renovation, reporting on and monitoring finances and fundraising, creating and supervising curriculum and programs developed at Dropsie and the Annenberg Research Institute. While the majority of the material is devoted to Goldenberg's roles as Director/Acting or Assistant Director, there is also a small amount of material from his work as a professor and Academic Dean.

The Library Series contains a variety of material related to the Library, including project proposals, attempts to modernize the cataloguing system, a microfilm duplication project, library evaluations, and offers and acknowledgments of gifts and libraries.

The Jewish Quarterly Review Series contains material related to the publishing and editorship of the journal. The Jewish Quarterly Review (JQR), founded in England in 1889 by Israel Abrahams and Claude G. Montefiore, is the oldest English language publication of Judaic scholarship. It was subsequently taken over by Dropsie College in 1910 and published by Cyrus Adler and Solomon Schechter. The JQR continued to be published by Dropsie with the Director of the College serving as Editor up to and through David Goldenberg's years as Director. The material in the series includes ads, brochures, notes on circulation and subscriptions, rules for transliteration and editing notes.

The Dropsie History Series includes a variety of materials collected by Goldenberg from the files of his predecessors--Presidents Cyrus Adler, Abraham Neuman, Abraham Katsh and Joseph Rappaport, as well as copies of Moses Dropsie's will, thus encompassing the years 1892 to 1998. The material includes speeches, correspondence, and minutes of Board meetings. The Series clearly demonstrates how Dropsie was created, its development as an institution with a firm set of principles, its struggles, and how it metamorphosed into a new institution with a new focus and new strengths over a period of little more than 100 years. Four folders contain photocopies of articles culled over the early years from newspapers and magazines about Dropsie College, its programs, graduates and faculty. These materials were collected by Goldenberg as he wanted to write a definitive history of the college. [Note: this project was never completed.]

Even excluding the Dropsie History Series which culls from the collected papers of previous College Presidents, the David M. Goldenberg Papers document the critical decade as the College struggled financially and physically to remain in existence and find a new purpose in the aftermath of the 1981 arson fire which destroyed a large part of the College's library. Following a temporary relocation to Merion, Pa., and with the generous support and engagement of Ambassador Walter Annenberg, the College was able to recreate itself as the Annenberg Research Institute (ARI) and later the Center for Judaic Studies at Penn.

The materials in this collection were assembled by Dr. David Goldenberg. As much as possible, the order (and titling) of the folders was left the way it arrived at the Library of the Katz Center. The major exception is that some folders were so large they were divided into two or more folders by date. The Series titles and organization follow the system set up by Goldenberg (and/or his assistants), as well.

In some cases where it appeared that originals, especially in the Dropsie History Series, may have been culled from the folders or collections of Goldenberg's predecessors, photocopies were made and inserted to replace the originals. The files in this series were arranged by date.

Illoway, Solomon T. H. Hurwitz, Samuel Edelman, Edwin A. Fleisher, Oscar S. Straus, Louis Marshall, Harry Friedenwald, D. Hays Solis-Cohen, and Julius and Lessing Rosenwald.

Among the most interesting items in the file is material about Dr. Nathaniel J. Reich who was employed by Dropsie College. In September 1925 a man who gave his name as Nathaniel Reich was picked up by motorists near Vancouver, Washington near death and told his rescuers that he taught at Dropsie and that he'd had a heart attack. Arriving at the hospital there, he was paralyzed and blind. However, research later showed that the real Dr. Reich was alive and well in Philadelphia, while the man in Vancouver was an imposter. Unfortunately the five articles in the file do not explain how the man came up with the masquerade or what happened to him. Also in the file are letters which Dr. Reich sent to the College President, Cyrus Adler in September and October 1929 while in Vienna.

Among the topics discussed are: Jews of the East, the naming of the College, Rabbi Krauskopf, teacher preparation, Saul Wahl, Claude Montefiore and Israel Abrahams, and Miriam Wolf's bequest to the University of Pennsylvania (which also mentions the Jewish Hospital).

Adler provides "sketches" of Dr. Henry Malter and Dr. Max Margolis, both professors at Dropsie College and a biography of Mayer Sulzberger.
