Pinchos J. Chazin was born in 1914 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  He was raised in Perth Amboy, New Jersey where his father, Hirsh L. Chazin, was an Orthodox cantor.  Pinchos Chazin received his B.A. from the City College of New York in 1935 and his M.A. from Columbia University in 1939.  That same year he was ordained as a rabbi by the Jewish Theological Seminary.  During World War II, Chazin served as a military chaplain for the Air Force at Drew Army Airfield in Florida.  Upon his return from the service in 1946, he served as rabbi of Beth Judah Synagogue in West Philadelphia.  In 1948, Pinchos Chazin became rabbi of Congregation Temple Sholom in Northeast Philadelphia, where he worked for forty-three years.

 

In addition to being a much-loved spiritual leader and inspirational speaker, Rabbi Chazin served for twenty-five years as a chaplain with the Philadelphia Police Department and for forty-seven years as chaplain of the Shomrim Society of Philadelphia and Delaware County. He was president of the Philadelphia Region of the Rabbinical Assembly and the Philadelphia Board of Rabbis, and was a founder and longtime board member of Solomon Schechter Day School.  Pinchos Chazin was an avid book reviewer, frequent lecturer, and the author of twelve cantatas.

 

Pinchos J. Chazin married Beatrice Pugatsky in 1942 and they had three children.  He died in February 2006 at the age of 91.

 

This collection contains the papers of Pinchos J. Chazin, reflecting his rabbinical work with the congregation and within the Jewish community in Philadelphia.  Much of the collection is composed of sermons written by Chazin and delivered at weekly services and on religious holidays.  This collection also contains wedding ceremony sermons, marriage licenses, and eulogies.  Chazin wrote many book reviews and authored twelve cantatas; these materials are found in the collection as well.  In addition, there are materials related to Temple Sholom’s rebuilding campaign following a fire at the synagogue in 1988.  This collection also contains articles, correspondence, newsclippings, and photographs.

Series 3: Book Review Lectures, 1955-1990, contains many of Chazin’s book reviews, written in lecture format and delivered before various congregations and Jewish organizations.  He was a known book reviewer and was frequently requested to present on certain authors.  Although for the most part he reviewed books on Jewish subjects, he also reviewed popular literature by authors such as Saul Bellow, James Michener, and John Steinbeck.  In particular, he lectured on books by Cynthia Freeman, Harry Golden, Chaim Potok, Maurice Samuel, Irving Stone, Leon Uris, and Elie Wiesel.  This series is arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name, and then alphabetically by the title of the book being reviewed.  

 

Series 4: Cantatas, 1974-2002, undated, contains twelve cantatas written by Chazin.  In addition to being frequently performed, two of them, Henrietta Szold and What Makes a Jewish Home, were published.  Many of the cantata scripts include Chazin’s notations and edits, as well as sheet music and reference material.  This series is arranged alphabetically by cantata title, and then chronologically.

Series 12: Accession 2014-23, circa 1940s-1980s, contains material related to Chazin’s role as rabbi of Temple Sholom and was acquired after the main portion of the collection was processed.  This series is comprised of addresses delivered by Chazin, as well as correspondence, meeting minutes, and project files related to organizations such as Solomon Schechter Day School, the Rabbinical Assembly of America, and other Temple Sholom-based groups.  This series is arranged alphabetically by subject.

Series 3: Book Review Lectures, 1955-1990, contains many of Chazin’s book reviews, written in lecture format and delivered before various congregations and Jewish organizations.  He was a known book reviewer and was frequently requested to present on certain authors.  Although for the most part he reviewed books on Jewish subjects, he also reviewed popular literature by authors such as Saul Bellow, James Michener, and John Steinbeck.  In particular, he lectured on books by Cynthia Freeman, Harry Golden, Chaim Potok, Maurice Samuel, Irving Stone, Leon Uris, and Elie Wiesel.  This series is arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name, and then alphabetically by the title of the book being reviewed.
