Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) is a "national organization of Reform rabbis. It was founded in 1889 by Isaac Mayer Wise, who had earlier established the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC, called the Union for Reform Judaism since 2003) and Hebrew Union College. After the college had ordained 20 rabbis, Wise felt it was time to replace the several regional rabbinic bodies with a national organization. Wise was elected president and headed the CCAR for 11 years until his death in 1900; subsequent presidents served for only two years. The conference thus took its place as the third major arm of the Reform Movement along with the UAHC and the college, and set the standard that each of the movements in American Judaism would have a theological seminary, a congregational body, and a rabbinic organization. From the beginning the CCAR saw a major part of its role as reflecting and directing the trends and theologies of the growing Reform Movement" (Levy in EJ 2007). Gimbel Brothers (known simply as Gimbels) was an American department store corporation that operated from 1887 to 1987. Adam Gimbel, a young Jewish Bavarian immigrant, opened his first store, a general store, in Vincennes, Indiana, in 1842. After a brief stay in Danville, Illinois, Gimbel relocated in 1887 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which was then a boomtown heavily populated by German immigrants. The new store quickly became the leading department store there. In 1887, the company moved its operations to the Gimbel Brothers Department Store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Having 7 sons, Adam Gimbel decided to expand. It became a chain when it opened a second, larger store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1894, under Isaac Gimbel, Adam's grandson, moving its headquarters there. . . .
