John Braham (c.1774 – 17 February 1856) was an English tenoropera singer born in London. His long career led him to become one of Europe's leading opera stars. He also wrote a number of songs, of minor importance, although The Death of Nelson is still remembered. His success, and that of his offspring in marrying into the British aristocracy, are also notable examples of Jewish social mobility in the early 19th century.
Origins
Braham’s precise origins are uncertain. The favoured (but specious) present account in contemporary sources of reference is that he was possibly a son of John Abraham or Abrahams, who was possibly an operative at the Drury Lane Theatre who died in 1779 and his wife, who may have been Esther, who may have been a sister of the hazzan at the Great Synagogue of London, Myer Lyon. Braham has also been held to be related to various other London musicians with the surname of Abrahams. There is however no documentary evidence for any of these supposed connections.
Braham was born in April 1920. Upon leaving school as a teenager he worked for his local constabulary as a clerk. Bored with civil life, Braham joined the RAF on a five-year short service commission in December 1937. He began basic training in March 1938 and then advanced training from August to December. Upon the completion of flight training he was posted to No. 29 Squadron RAF based at RAF Debden where he learned to fly the Hawker Hurricane and Bristol Blenheim. In 1939 the squadron began to organise itself as a specialised night fighter unit.
By August 1940, the Battle of Britain was under-way. He gained his first victory on 24 August which remained his only success in the battle. In September 1940 No. 29 Squadron was re-equipped with the Bristol Beaufighter. Braham continued operations during "The Blitz" claiming the destruction of two more enemy aircraft. By the end of 1940 he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).
"My girls played hard, they didn't give up. They put themselves in position to win the ball game but we missed too many shots. There is still plenty of basketball left for us to make a run in district."
"Turnovers in the last four minutes of the ball game cost us, but we've still got a lot more basketball left. If we continue to play good defensively and take care of the ball offensively, we'll be there at the end."
"Give all the credit to Roy Young. His girls jumped on us early, and they were very well prepared defensively for us."
"It was a defensive struggle to the end. A pillow fight. We buckled to the pressure and didn't take care of the ball late in the game."
"Different people use prayer different ways."
"I'm a sinner as much as anyone else. I pray every day for the safety of my family and children, for guidance, for forgiveness. I also pray for other people who are in need of Christ's help and assistance."
"You have to work at it, like everything else. It's easy to put God on the back burner, or to turn to him only when you have a problem. A lot of people use prayer when they are in need, then stop. To have a strong relationship with God, you have to keep going back to it. Like an athlete has to work hard to improve his skills, you have to maintain your faith to strengthen it."
