Biographical Note
Meyer Greenberg was born on January 11, 1914 to Aaron and Blanche Bernzweig. He received a B.A. from Yeshiva College in 1934. He also attended Columbia graduate school from 1934-1936; Hebrew University in Jerusalem from 1937-1938; the graduate school of Yeshiva College from 1938-1939; and lastly, the Jewish Institute of Religion (with a focus on Hebrew Literature), from which he graduated in 1944 as Rabbi and Master of Hebrew Literature.
Meyer Greenberg served as the Director of the Hillel Foundation at Yale University and Queens College from 1944-1945. "While at Yale he conducted a survey of the religious attitudes of the Jewish students there, which [was] published by the Yiddish Scientific Institute and included [in] the YIVO Annual of Jewish Social Science" (which can be found in box 18, Folder 7).
Meyer Greenberg also served as the Director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel at the University of Maryland (College Park) from 1945 through 1977, and this collection largely represents his work in this capacity. Rabbi Greenberg arrived at the University of Maryland in 1945, and was appointed to the faculty of the university to teach Hebrew in the Language Department in February of 1946. Notably, it was the first time in the 140-year history of the University of Maryland that Hebrew was taught as a modern language with full credit.
Return to the Top of PageScope and Content Note
The content in this collection is more institutional than personal. It is thus important that researchers have a sense of the context and history of the Hillel at the University of Maryland, which was located near campus, at 7505 Yale Avenue in College Park. Its facilities included a chapel-auditorium, game room (with ping pong, shuffleboard and juke box), library, TV room, music room, lounge, study room and kitchen. Many photographs of undergraduates utilizing these facilities can be found in the Photograph Series.
The Hillel is the Jewish community on the campus, representing all Jewish students. It offers religious, cultural, social and counseling service. According to statistics from 1972, University of Maryland Hillel enrollment was 35,000, with Jewish student enrollment at 4,500. The Hillel directly served 2,500-3,000 of the school's population. Its objectives were to "preserve and intensify the Jewish identity of Jewish students on the campus" as well as faculty and graduate students.
"All Jewish students are automatically members of Hillel. Students are asked also to register with Hillel and to accept a measure of responsibility for their community thru [sic] payment of $2 annual dues." (From the pamphlet Hillel Welcomes You, which can be found box 1, folder 3). Hillel's Constitution outlined: the aims of the Hillel as: 1) to impart to Jewish students an understanding and appreciation of our religious and cultural heritage, 2) to encourage religious participation and creativity, 3) to develop an interest in current Jewish problems and a desire to participate actively as leaders in the community, 4) to share in the joy of Jewish life thru [sic] song, dance and the arts, and 5) to develop harmonious relations with all groups on campus.
This collection also includes minutes of the University of Maryland Chapel Staff and Religious Life Committees, as well as census data pertaining to Jewish students on campus. This collection also contains materials relating to Greenberg's activities as Hillel Director at City College, Queens College and Yale University (1944-1945), and as Hillel Counselor at Gallaudet College for the Deaf (1950-1967); President of the American Alumni of Hebrew University (1939-1941); Chairman of the Board of Education of the Hebrew Academy of Washington (1951-1974); Chairman of the Juvenile Court Advisory Committee of Prince George's County, MD (1951-1955) as well as some of his publications.

3.5 linear feet. | ||||
Arrangement:This material is arranged by content as well as chronologically. | ||||

Specific programming includes the Kosher Dining Club, Ten Israel Art Exhibits (including photographs), a semester in Israel (at Tel Aviv University) program, regional conferences, Breirah and Kallah activities, the papers for a panel discussion on Israel and the Middle East, holidays (Chanukah, Passover and Purim); symposia papers, including one on Intermarriage and the American Jewish Future (Box 10, Folder 8) and another titled "The Meaning of the Nazi Extermination of the Six Million" (Box 10, Folders 21 and 21 and Box 11, Folder 1). Hannah Arendt spoke at the latter symposium, and many photographs of her and the event can be found within this series. Additionally, there is correspondence from her, which can be found in Folder 9 and this folder also contains correspondence from Elie Wiesel (who was asked to speak but could not). This series contains material related to the Vietnam War. From 1967 through 1971, Meyer Greenberg played a role in helping undergraduates receive conscientious objector status. Box 8, Folder 7 contains his position statement. Additionally, there is material from Vietnam Moratorium Day 1969, which included an interfaith service for peace; this can be found in Box 9, Folder 2.
