From Leith
Brandeis University celebrated its 75th year as an institution of learning last month. Seventy-five years. Wow. It was 1947, just a few years after the end of WWII. I was five years old when that happened.
So move forward 60 or so years, and I join our chapter of Brandeis National Committee. After facilitating a study group and joining the Board, eventually I proudly became co-President.
Brandeis University was established as a place of learning on a nonsectarian basis for those who were not and could not be enrolled in established private places of education, including Jewish veterans of the War.
I knew nothing of Brandeis when I became involved with this chapter, other than how it got its name, from Louis Brandeis, the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice. For ten years I have listened and read about Brandeis. For me, it definitely became my adopted alma mater. However one thing was missing - I wanted so badly to be on its campus: not to see the buildings, the common areas or even the library for which we all should be very proud, but to see its institutional vibrancy. To see the diversity that the school promised it would be. So, my wife, Judy, and I went to the 75th celebration, and were we blown away! Everything that others have told us was true. You saw it in the students’ faces as they greeted strangers when we registered. You heard it from the alumni as they cheered retired professors.
I realize most of us probably feel strongly about our own alma maters(s) and I had a wonderful time in my five years at NYU, but I don’t think I would have cheered for any of my former instructors. Ask a student what they are majoring in and you get “two majors and a minor,” or “two majors and a minor and I also do [this] on the side.”
For me, Brandeis is more than my adopted alma mater, it is my alma mater.
So I want you to know that the effort we put into fundraising for Brandeis is so important for an institution of which each and every one of us can be proud. Scroll down to see photos from the celebration.

Alice McDermott is the author of many novels, including The Ninth Hour; Someone; After This; Child of My Heart; Charming Billy, winner of the 1998 National Book Award; and At Weddings and Wakes.

One of our other 2024 authors, Tim O'Brien, said of her new book, Absolution: “Alice McDermott delivers another elegantly written, immaculately conceived novel that immerses the reader in the contradictions and moral ambiguities of the human heart.
McDermott is a storyteller who aims for the stars. Absolution takes us there, by way of wartime Saigon, and with a powerful reminder that good intentions can have consequences that jerk us awake over a lifetime. What a splendid, compelling book this is."

David Rosenfelt is a best-selling, Edgar-nominated and Shamus Award-winning author in the mystery and thriller genre. The author of thirty-three books, he is known for mysteries with just the right balance of humor, fast-paced dialogue and well-executed action. In his Andy Carpenter thrillers, he provides the most important ingredient in any good mystery: a detective with personality. A reluctant but excellent lawyer, Andy’s sarcastic wit, humor, love of family, and great legal and investigating skills come to life. ‘Twas the Bite Before Christmas is Rosenfelt’s twenty-eighth Andy Carpenter thriller. As with all Rosenfelt mysteries, dogs play a prominent role.
An NYU graduate, Rosenfelt was the President of Marketing for Tri-Star Pictures, which he left to become a screen and TV writer. But, as with Andy Carpenter, dogs are his true love. His 2013 book, Dogtripping, describes how he developed his passion for dog rescue and is the story of how he moved his family and twenty-five dogs from Southern California to Maine. He started the Tara Foundation, which rescues dogs. To date, the foundation has rescued almost 4000 dogs. He wrote ‘Twas the Bite Before Christmas surrounded by 27 dogs who were too sick to be rescued.

Brandeis' 75th Anniversary Celebration | |
|
Five of our chapter members attended the celebration in Waltham, sharing
their experiences and photos with us

Andrew Tievsky, Carol Kern, Judy & Leith Baletin, Marcy Strauss | |

From Carol Kern
I opened my eyes in the morning of October 12 to a beautiful, sunny New England day. The colorful leaves brought back the memories of the remarkable times I spent at Brandeis University when I was on the BNC National Board and as National President. I am a BNC member, not an alumna; however, my visits turned into a realization about the University’s uniqueness that spoke to me on so many levels that made Brandeis mine. What a proud time for us to share that we are part of its 75th history.
Meeting alumni, hearing their stories, interacting with student volunteers who drove us around the campus, seeing colleagues, listening to professors and hearing questions asked and answered by speakers like Anita Hill, Stephen Whitfield, Joyce Antler and more, was an unforgettable experience. The sites we toured had engraved recognition of members and specifically our chapter’s name. We heard about the microscope BNC funded, including the BNC scientific research laboratory. We couldn’t miss the Library, the wall, the archives and heard the immense gratitude for starting and maintaining the research that is housed within its walls. This place is where the BUNWC (now the BNC) began by a call to action that became our mission.
The Saturday night Gala was filled with fun, food and dancing. After University President Ron Liebowitz spoke, he and his wife Jessica joined us at our table. It was a delightful evening and a wonderful weekend.

From Marcy Strauss
The weekend celebration was perfection. It was beautifully planned and perfectly executed. The lectures were informative and inspirational, the food was amazing, the atmosphere most welcoming, the staff, students and personnel were ready to assist at any moment. If we could only bottle the weekend, as words and pictures will still fall short of the actual experience. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to be a part of the 75th Celebration. Thank you.
I love our Phoenix Chapter. I love our wonderful intelligent and caring members. I support Brandeis because I believe we all need to support organizations whose values we share. I came away from the 75th weekend with a new and deeper appreciation of just how special Brandeis University is and how worthy it is of my support.
I learned that not only the students are allowed and encouraged to have double majors and reach across disciplines, so are the faculty. When Anita Hill was asked why she chose to join the faculty of Brandeis as she had many offers, her answer reflected that faculty, too, can work across disciplines.
Furthermore, we as supporters of the Brandeis University Library are the “Largest Friends of the Library” group in the US. And we, BNC, to date have donated $300,000,000 to the university.
Since attending this weekend celebration, I must repeat that I have a newfound appreciation of this university which celebrated its past, brought us up to date on the present, and has a vision for the future.

From Andrew Tievsky
To the uninitiated visitor, the Brandeis campus appears quite underwhelming: a jumble of unassuming utilitarian buildings on a steep hill, with an arbitrary boundary designating an upper and lower campus. There is no quad lined with brick and limestone academic edifices, - the requisite trappings of a top university in 21st century America. Nevertheless, there are some quite attractive architecture and outdoor spaces in Brandeis’s current configuration.
Money was spent buying books for the library instead of erecting an edifice to contain them – not to say the Brandeis library isn’t an attractive facility, but bear in mind that at the beginning, all those books that were purchased with proceeds from the Brandeis Women’s Committee book sales were stored in a barn left over from a veterinary school.
I continue to be amazed at how this fledgling college, so recently founded, catapulted to a top research university, in both the arts and sciences, in less than 20 years from its founding. It is a university that values above all inclusivity, justice for all, tolerance, love of humanity and quest for knowledge combined with the spirit of activism. That is the Brandeis we became acquainted with on our recent visit.
Some personal highlights:
- Meeting graduates from the first classes of the early 1950’s and hearing their tales
- Encounters with the multi-cultural, multi -ethnic, multi-racial student population - all social activists and highly engaged.
-
Lectures by faculty: Legal scholar Daniel Breen discussed the far-reaching consequences of the constitutional right to privacy, the major judicial legacy of Louis Brandeis and Anita Hill, who spoke about Truth and extolled Eleanor Roosevelt, her role at the university, and the last 40 years of activist women.
- Tour of the space-age light microscopy laboratory
- Rose Art Museum's collection of outstanding 20th and 21st century art, as well as a spectacular contemporary art exhibition
- Learning that the University, and especially the students, treasure the relationship with BNC and the legacy of the Brandeis Women’s Committee

Rob Foster, AARP
Fraud - and its effect on us
| |
Wednesday, December 20
1:00 pm at the JCC
12701 N. Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale
| |
|
|
On Wednesday, December 20, the Men of Brandeis will host Rob Foster, a volunteer educator with AARP. His subject is fraud and its effect on all of us. While the meeting will begin at 1:00 pm in the meeting hall at the JCC on Scottsdale Rd., many of us will gather for lunch at noon at the J's restaurant.
Rob is a retired engineer and supply chain director who lives in Ahwatukee. He first volunteered with AARP fifteen years ago as an income tax preparer and now also delivers talks on Medicare, Social Security and Fraud.
Fraud has become a massive problem, costing people billions of dollars every year. Since the breadth of the subject can take hours to discuss, Rob will focus on elements of fraud that have affected the most people. Methods fraudsters use to contact people, common types of fraud, and steps you can take to protect yourself will be presented.

Guests (men and women) are welcome for a $5.00 guest fee.

The Legacy of Louis: Inspiring Inquiry
As the university nears its milestone 75th anniversary in 2023, the Brandeis National Committee's current campaign, The Legacy of Louis: Inspiring Inquiry, is halfway towards its goal, thanks to all of you.
This campaign will reinvigorate the Brandeis Library's mission to empower its community to become scholars, creators, and innovators through the creation of two interactive additions to the Library. The first will be the construction of a research archive of original letters, photographs, documents and family objects that shed light on the life and the lasting contributions of Justice Louis D. Brandeis.
The second addition to the Brandeis Library will be the creation of a new Judaica reading room in the library. This space will provide the Brandeis community with a place to engage with Jewish texts outside of the typical classroom and religious environments. By presenting Jewish texts in conjunction with writings from cultural and religious traditions from around the world, the room will serve scholars and students alike.
In 1948, the BNC (formerly BUNWC) was founded alongside the university to provide philanthropic support and now, nearly 75 years later, continues to support the mission and principles upon which Brandeis was founded.
| |
General Chapter Information | |
Founded in 1948, Brandeis National Committee is dedicated to providing philanthropic support to Brandeis University, a distinguished liberal arts and research university founded by the American Jewish community. Its membership is connected to the University through fundraising and through activities that reflect the values on which the University was founded: academic excellence, social justice, nonsectarianism and service to the community. | |
