BIOGRAPHiCAL SKETCH

Max Einstandig was born in Vienna, Austria on 15 June 1912, to Jacob and Yetta Einstandig.  He came to the United States on 10 July 1914, with his mother and his sister, Rose, on the S.S. France, one of the last ships to leave Europe before World War I.   The Einstandig family settled in Indianapolis, where Max graduated from Emmerich Manual Training High School, on 14 June 1929, then attended Butler University.  He continued on to graduate work at the Graduate School for Jewish Social Work and the New York School of Social Work, received his Master’s degree, and spent a year working at the Kirshbaum community center before turning to business.  In 1934 Max married Bess Peltz; they had three children, Jerry, Barbara, and Elaine. He sold furniture in South Bend and Chicago, then in 1946–47 opened JEBB’s, the name created from the first names of his wife and his three children, in Terre Haute, Indiana.  JEBB’s initially offered upholstery repair and sold gas stoves, but their package deal offer of propane to go with the stoves turned Jebb’s into a propane distributor, which now sells over 1.25 million gallons of propane a year.

Max Einstandig was heavily involved in Jewish community organizations at the local and national levels.  He joined B’nai B’rith Indianapolis Lodge #58 in 1935, served as President of Terre Haute’s Gan Eden Lodge #110, joined the Indiana State directors in 1958, was elected as third Vice President of the B’nai B’rith state association in 1964, and became State President in 1968, the 100th anniversary of his Gan Eden Lodge.  A member of B’nai B’rith Youth Organization, as an adult he was elected president of Hillel Foundation of Indiana, Inc. for 1966 and 1967.  He served the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith as a member of its Regional Advisory Board, the District Board of Governors, and the B’nai B’rith task force.  Einstandig is a founder of the Indiana Jewish Historical Society, and still works to collect materials relating to Indiana’s Jewish history.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The collection consists of 13 manuscript boxes, one oversize manuscript box, two folders of photographs, one folder of color photographs, three artifacts, and one flat file, containing Einstandig’s personal papers as they relate to Jewish organizations in Indiana.  The collection includes his personal work papers, as well as material distributed by and about the various organizations.  The collection is divided into five series; covering four significant organizations and miscellaneous papers.

Condition:  These files were still in use prior to their donation, and are coming to the Society as they are gathered rather than in any order.  The individual folders often contain interfiled older material that the author was using for reference.  Processing has attempted to follow the creator’s intent, rather than the actual order of the files.  Chronological sorting of the papers is generally applied, but where Einstanding created separate form or project files they are maintained.

Series 1:  The Indiana Jewish Historical Society

The Indiana Jewish Historical Society (IJHS) was founded in 1972, with the mission to collect, preserve, and publish information on the two hundred and fifty years of Jewish life in Indiana.  Creation of a historical organization was proposed to and accepted by the Indiana State Association of B’nai B’rith in the winter of 1967.  Two months later Einstandig became the state president of B’nai B’rith, and worked to support the project.  In 1972 the IJHS began operation as a committee of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, led by Executive Director Joe Levine and funded by a $30,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment.  The Indiana Jewish Historical Society continues to collect and publish material on Indiana Jewish History; their collections are now part of the Indiana Historical Society archives.

Indiana Jewish Historical Society items in this collection include correspondence relating to the establishment and administration of the society, the search for a new Executive Director following Joe Levine’s retirement in 1992, and planning for the Society’s 25th anniversary celebration, copies of newsletters and publications, meeting minutes, and notes on Indiana Jewish history.

Series 2:  B’nai B’rith

B’nai B’rith is an international Jewish organization for community service, promoting human rights, and protecting the interests of Jews in Israel and the world.  Founded in 1843, B’nai B’rith is one of the oldest and largest Jewish organizations, today with over 180,000 members in 50 countries.  The period of Einstandig’s involvement in B’nai B’rith is something of a high point; there were 19 lodges in Indiana in 1968, but only three remain today.  B’nai B’rith materials in the collection include meeting minutes, dues rosters, publications, correspondence, and photographs of lodge activities.

Series 3:  Hillel and B’nai B’rith Youth Organization

Series 4:  Anti-Defamation League

Series 5:  Miscellaneous personal papers and Jewish history
