Ben-Zion Goldberg Papers (Benjamin Waife)

 

Biography

 

B.Z. Goldberg was born on January 9, 1895, in the town of Olshani, a province of Vilna (Vilnius). His father was a rabbi and shochet his mother was a daughter of the Gedrewitzer Rabbi. The family was connected with prominent rabbis of Vilna and Dvinsk. The family name in the old country was Waife. Ben-Zion’s father changed his name to Goldberg on arrival to the US, since the nephews to whom he had come were named Goldberg. After the death of his mother, in 1935, Goldberg. legally resumed the name of Waife. He has retained the name B.Z. Goldberg as one of his his pen names.

 

Goldberg was a precocious child. At age eleven he was already a student at the famous Yeshiva of Volozhin, the youngest student to be admitted there in 1906. In 1908 he joined his family on a journey to the USA to reunite with his father. In New York he studies for about a year at the Yeshiva of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan. Then his father obtained a position as a Rabbi in Traverse City, Michigan, where Goldberg completed one year of high school. Then the family moved to Albia, Iowa, where in 1912 BZG graduated from high school after one year in 1912, with a scholarship for the State University of Iowa. After one year in the University of Iowa, Goldberg came back east and continued to study at Columbia University. He received a B.S. degree in Psychology in 1917 and his MA degree in 1919. He continued his study of Psychology for the Ph.D., but did not complete his dissertation.

 

Goldberg began to write in his childhood, was assistant editor of school page in the local paper in Traverse city, Michigan during his first two years of high school. He also contributed, in Yiddish to the Jewish Record of Chicago. Upon his return to New York he occasionally wrote for the Yidishe Tageblat (1914-1915).

 

In December 1914, BZG first met Shalom Aleichem and became a frequent visitor to his home. He instructed Sholom Aleichem’s youngest daughter in English. They got married in 1917, and had two sons, Sholom and Mitchell.

 

While a student at Columbia, BZA taught psychology, in Yiddish, at the Folks University, an institution he was later to head for a few years, and also at the Jewish Teacher’s Seminary, of which he became director in 1920.

 

Wishing to write for the Yiddish “the Day”, but being told by the editor that he didn’t have the popular stuff the newspaper needed, BZG wrote under his secretary’s name a popular feature under the title “A Diary of a Young Women”. Edlin, the editor didn’t believe it was the secretary, but published the article anyway. They were an instantaneous success, and ran for a number of months. When the identity of the real author was revealed, Goldberg became a correspondent of the Day and a permanent member of the staff (September 1922). Within months he was made assistant editor, writing for his daily column for years. Was managing editor for 15 years, and his daily column dealt with foreign affairs.

Alphabetical Correspondence

 

·        For publications by others check under box “publications by others” as well as in alphabetical correspondence

·        Alphabetical correspondence is divided into boxes, usually a box containing correspondence under one letter. Sometimes a letter is divided into a few boxes. Each letter begins with a miscellaneous section, containing one or two letters of correspondence with one person or organization. An attempt was made to open a file for each individual or organization that more than two letters exist. The miscellaneous list is arranged alphabetically, but one should note that some of the names have been translated from Yiddish or Hebrew and the transliteration might not be accurate at this stage of registration of the material. When searching for a specific name, one should check for a few options. A star (*) next to a name indicates that another letter by the same author exists in the “miscellaneous” section, (and in rare cases, an actual file exists) but they have not been placed together. One should go over the “miscellaneous” section to check this. The “Miscellaneous” section refers to all material, even if there is more than one box.
