INCREASING TEACHER PAY
I am passionate about providing our best
teachers with significantly increased
compensation. Identifying and rewarding
our best teachers enables our students to
benefit from their continued presence in our
classrooms, rather than leaving the industry
or moving to administration in order to earn
better pay.

The Tycher Library of the Jewish
Federation of Greater Dallas’ Center
for Jewish Education has a packed
virtual lineup for fall.
The library’s resilience, surviving
the October 2019 tornado and this
year’s pandemic, is shown in the
support of its thriving patronship
and support from those new to its
offerings.
“We have used creativity to
come together, with innovation
allowing more people than ever
to share in our programs,” said
Rabbi Mordechai Harris, executive
director and rabbi in residence of the
Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas’
Center for Jewish Education. “Even
absent our physical presence, new
relationships have developed, and
the library continues as a platform
for meaningful conversations.”

“This nonfiction book reads
like a great novel and is tough to
put down,” said Karen Schlosberg,
project coordinator for the Center for
Jewish Education. “It’s captivating,
intriguing and the lasting impact
of these families is something to be
proud of.”
Kaufman, a Pulitzer Prize and
National Jewish Book Award-
winning author, also penned “A
Hole in the Heart of the World:
Being Jewish in Eastern Europe” and
“Broken Alliance: The Turbulent
Times Between Blacks and Jews in
America.”
“This book came to me in
1979 after I’d graduated from Yale
University, was on my first foreign
assignment and I walked into
the Peace Hotel,” said Kaufman.
“Outside, everything and everyone
appeared almost uniform, while
opulence and elegance defined
every bit of the hotel. As I walked
the halls, I saw shadows of where
mezuzahs had hung and my DNA as
a journalist, as a Jew and my interest

HADASSAH HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
Read from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday,
Oct. 18. The library will feature
“The Last Kings of Shanghai:
The Rival Jewish Dynasties That
Helped Create Modern China,” by
journalist Jonathan Kaufman. The
interview will be moderated by
Dennis Kratz, director of the Center
for Asian Studies at the University of
Texas at Dallas. It is being offered in
association with the JCC’s Margot
Rosenberg Pulitzer Dallas BookFest
and Jewish Book Council.
The book follows two rival
dynasties, the Kadoories and
the Sassoons, Jewish families
that originated in Baghdad and
flourished in Shanghai and Hong
Kong as 20th-century China surged
into the modern era.. For 180 years,
the families profited from the opium
wars, survived Japanese occupation,
courted Chiang Kai-shek and
witnessed the rise of the Communist
Party coming to power. The families
are also largely responsible for saving
18,000 Jewish refugees during the
Holocaust.
