The Dr. Steven Ungerleider Collection of Haggadot was given to Brown University in honor of the memory of Dr. Ungerleider\u2019s father, Samuel Ungerleider, Jr., Class of 1939.<\/div>\n
\n

In the tradition of giving \u2014 I chose Brown University to be the recipient of my entire Haggadot collection, which for me goes back to my first Seder in 1955; but, indeed, is a collection with origins in the 13th century. My story is simple.<\/p>\n

My dad, Samuel Ungerleider, Jr., was a Brown alum of 1939, all-American student, scholar athlete, and Olympic hopeful in swimming. He loved Brown and wore its colors with pride. He took us to lots of events in Providence to experience the Brown University culture. Sadly, he died very young in 1972. We did not know each other very well. Perhaps one memory is that he always talked about the great days at Brown and meeting terrific people there and the quality of education.<\/p>\n

The other memory I have, which is quite vivid, is that dad loved the Passover Seder. He was not a religious Jew, but a cultural one and one that loved Israel. He would preside over the table and spring ritual of Seder and reading the Haggadah (translated means \u201cto tell the story\u201d).<\/p>\n

He would sit at the head of the table as the master of the home and ask us to read and encourage us to drink wine\u2014mandatory Jewish ritual that you drink at least four cups at Seder. (My younger sister actually spent one Seder on the floor as a result of this ritual.) My first Seder was with my late grandfather; I was six, and I was very nervous. It is in the tradition of Passover that the youngest at the table read or even \u201csing\u201d the four questions . . . and I was the chosen youth.<\/p>\n

I sat with my parents for weeks studying and practicing the four questions on a little stool in the kitchen. I wanted to be perfect to impress my grandfather. I remember the night that I sang and everyone was so kind and supportive and told me I was a star. (I\u2019m not sure if I did well . . . but some at the table seemed impressed.) My father got up from his seat and gave me a kiss and said, \u201cMazel tov, you will make a good rabbi some day!\u201d<\/p>\n

I guess being a psychologist, writer, and Olympic sports medicine specialist is as close as I got to the rabbinic assembly. . . . But I will cherish that memory forever.<\/p>\n

And now \u2014 please enjoy the collection of Haggadot which I have had for years; perhaps inspired by my bar mitzvah rabbi, Yosef Yerushalmi, a noted rabbi and later considered a preeminent scholar in early Hebrew literature.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dr. Steven Ungerleider, Eugene, Oregon, June 14, 2017<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Samuel Ungerleider came to Brown from Columbus, Ohio, in 1935 and graduated with an A.B. in Psychology. During World War II, Mr. Ungerleider served four years in the Information Service of the United States Army, a position that built on his immediate post-graduate experience as a newspaper reporter and feature writer. After the war ended, he returned to work in journalism, becoming an editor and publisher of several newspapers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He eventually took up work in investment and marketing as an executive officer at Gottesman & Co. and several other corporations. In his spare time, he devoted himself to philanthropy, serving as President of the 92nd Street YMHA, and playing important roles in the United Fund, the Community Chest and the Brown Development Fund.<\/p>\n
