October 11, 1933
On October 11, 1933, the HEW College opened its doors in Cincinnati, OH, marking a significant advancement in Jewish education by serving as a successor to the Hebrew Union School. Directed by Rabbi Pollak, this institution was established to train Jewish teachers in a time when educational opportunities were limited for Jewish communities across the United States. During this period, global tensions were on the rise, with Adolf Hitler scheduled to broadcast a message addressing arms issues in Washington, D.C. His aggressive stance was a precursor to the drastic military expansions that would unfold in Germany. Furthermore, Britain was grappling with the aftermath of World War I, declaring its war debt a necessity rather than a business obligation, as they appealed to Washington for understanding of their economic plight, where annual debt payments began to surpass their exports. These events reflect a world in turmoil, as nations struggled with economic recovery while the shadows of conflict loomed large.
