Why  you  should  COOK  with  GAS 


Of  the  two  kinds  of  modern 
ranges,  both  have  an  equal 
amount  of  time-saving,  work- 
saving  automatic  features. 
But,  there's  one  big  difference 
.  .  .  GAS  COOKS  BETTER! 


Thousands  of  people  actually 
never  taste  flame-broiled  steak 
in  their  homes.  Why?  They 
cook  on  ranges  without  flames! 
So  when  you  buy  a  range,  re- 
member that  by  every  test  .  .  . 
GAS  COOKS  BEST!

Thoughts  on  the  High  Holy  Days 

By  Rabbi  Joseph  Asher 
Temple  Emanuel,  Greensboro,  N.  C. 

While  the  Holy  Days  of  our  calendar  are  of  prime  concern 
for  Jews,  our  thoughts  and  aspirations  at  this  time  cannot  re- 
main confined  to  matters  of  personal  and  parochial  interest 
alone. 

We  utilize,  it  is  true,  these  days  for  intimate  contempla- 
tion. We  think  of  the  year  that  is  past,  its  joys  and  sorrows,  its 
rewards  and  disappointments.  We  also  take  time  to  voice  our 
hopes  and  aspirations  for  the  coming  year,  even  pledging  new 
resolves  that  will  vest  our  lives  with  greater  meaning  and  use- 
fulness. 


These  Holy  Days  are  also  to  bring  into  focus  our  lives  as 
Jews,  part  of  the  whole  complex  of  the  Jewish  people.  Another 
year  has  been  added  to  our  long  and  often  glorious  history.  The 
precarious  balance  of  history  has  so  conditioned  us  that  we  ask 
as  though  by  reflex:  is  it  good  or  bad  for  the  Jews?  As  we  look 
back  upon  this  past  year  we  may  say  that  it  represented  a  re- 
spite from  the  manifold  pressures  that  so  often  beset  our  people. 
Even  from  that  segment  of  our  people  most  exposed  to  religious 
prejudice  and  political  discrimination,  namely,  the  Jews  of  the 
Iron  Curtain  countries,  rays  of  light,  even  if  only  dim  ones,  are 
to  be  seen.  The  past  year  has  seen  Jews  emerging  from  the  iso- 
lation of  Rumania  and  Poland  to  rejoin  the  body  of  our  people 
here  or  in  Israel.  A  beginning,  we  hope,  of  a  greater  flow  to 
freedom  yet  to  come. 

The  State  of  Israel  in  its  12  th  year  continues  to  astound 
the  free  world  with  its  comparative  political  and  economic  sta- 
bility in  the  midst  of  a  sea  of  upheaval  and  churning  revolu- 
tions. 

Again  the  prognosticators  of  gloom  have  been  proven 
wrong  in  their  dire  predictions  for  the  future  of  American  Ju- 
daism. In  spite,  or  perhaps  because  of,  the  recurrence  of  attacks 
on  Jewish  institutions  in  different  parts  of  the  land  by  what  is 
sure  to  be  a  lunatic  fringe  of  hate-peddlers  the  American  Jew- 
ish community  emerged  unscathed,  testifying  to  its  increasing 
maturity  as  a  distinct  and  distinctive  cultural  and  religious  en- 
tity in  our  nation  of  many  cultures  and  religons. 

Thus  the  question:  is  it  good  or  bad  for  the  Jews?  might 
well  be  answered:  it  is  good  for  the  Jews. 

We  are  equally  concerned  with  the  state  of  the  world  as  a 
whole.  Not  only  because  we  know  from  long  and  often  bitter 
historic  experience  that  universal  equinimity  produces  tran- 
quility for  our  people,  but  also  because  we  are  inextricably 
bound  up  with  the  fluctuations  of  world  history.  If  we  have 
seen  during  this  year  a  lessening  of  international  tensions,  how- 
ever superficial  or  short-lived  they  may  be,  we  rejoice  at  these 
signs  and  fervently  pray  that  they  may  lead  to  a  continuing  im- 
provement of  world  conditions. 

Being  a  people  dedicated  to  the  highest  standards  of  mor- 
ality and  ethics,  regardless  of  the  consequences,  we  would  urge 


Chester  A.  Brown,  Editor 

that  the  price  of  the  lessening  of  tensions  shall  not  be  the  com- 
promising of  the  great  ideals  on  which  America  has  been  found- 
ed. No  peace  established  on  the  betrayal  of  the  essential  values 
of  our  republic  can  possibly  be  worthy  of  the  word  'peace.' 

In  order  to  comprehend  the  meaning  and  function  of  these 
Holy  Days  we  turn  to  the  prayers  of  its  liturgy.  To  their  ma- 
jestic language  urging  personal  and  universal  salvation  we 
must  add  the  fervor  of  our  own  prayers  that  flow  from  our 
hearts.  They  need  to  be  undergirded  by  a  sense  of  personal 
consecration  and  commitment  to  the  teachings  of  our  religion 
and  a  reaffirmation  of  our  loyalties  to  our  people  and  the  whole 
family  of  man. 

Wishing  alone  will  not  make  it  so,  but  actual  commitment 

may. 

As  the  awesome  tones  of  the  Shfoar  call  upon  us  to  serve 
God  and  our  fellow  man,  we  pray  that  they  will  reach  the  ears 
of  all  men  and  become  the  signal  for  another  step  toward  the 
Messianic  Age. 

L'shana  Tova  Tikatevu.  May  all  of  us  be  inscribed  for  a 
year  of  life  and  peace. 


The  12th  Annual  B'nai  B'rith  Institute 

A.  D.  Gordon,  Franz  Rosenzweig,  Kaufmann  Kohler,  Her- 
man Cohen,  A.  Kuk,  Ahad  Haam,  Solomon  Schechter,  Martin 
Buber  .  .  .  how  many  of  these  names  ring  a  bell  for  any  ex- 
cept the  scholars  among  us?  And  yet  they  are  all  men  who  have 
played  most  important  parts  in  the  advancement  of  Judaism 
in  this  country  and  abroad. 

It  was  among  these  notables,  and  others,  that  we  lived  at 
Wildacres  at  the  12th  annual  B'nai  B'rith  Institute  of  Juda- 
ism, August  2nd  through  the  6th.  Their  fascinating  stories 
were  told  to  us  by  the  able  faculty  of  the  Institute,  which 
this  year  included  Rabbis  Ephraim  Fischoff,  Emanuel  Rack- 
man,  and  Mordecai  Waxman.  In  carrying  out  the  theme, 
"Modern  Jewish  Thinkers,"  these  eminent  scholars  spoke 
before  a  rapt  audience  of  80  students  —  the  largest  Institute  of 
them  all.  As  the  past  and  current  Jewish  scene  unfolded,  there 
was  genuine  regret  that  this  banquet  of  choice  delicacies  had 
of  necessity  to  come  to  an  end. 

Incidentally,  the  over-capacity  attendance  poses  a  serious 
problem  for  the  Institute  management.  Since  it  seems  that  it 
will  be  impossible  to  add  to  the  accommodation  facilities  at 
the  Blumenthal  estate  —  and  since  holding  it  elsewhere  would 
deprive  the  event  of  so  much  of  its  charm,  the  question  be- 
comes one  of  how  to  take  care  at  future  Institutes,  of  all  those 
who  will  want  to  come.  This  is  a  relatively  new  situation,  as 
in  most  previous  Institutes  there  was  the  reverse  problem  of 
getting  an  adequate  attendance. 

The  only  suggestion  that  occurs  to  us  at  the  present  is  to 
limit  the  Institute  to  B'nai  B'rith  members  and  their  immedi- 
ate families.  After  all,  the  Institute  is  a  B'nai  B'rith  project,

THEY  RUN-AWAY 

Another  year  gone!  Another 
Rosh  Hashonah  come!  So  quick! 
So  quick!  It  seems  only  the  other 
day  that  mama  was  helping  me  to 
dress  up  in  my  best  little  suit  to  go 
with  her  and  papa  to  schul  .  .  .  and 
papa  asking,  "You  know  what  day 


ALFRED  SEGAL 


this  is?  It  is  Rosh  Hashonah,  and 
do  you  know  Rosh  Hashonah?  It 
is  a  new  year.  We  are  going  to  schul 
and  see  that  you  behave  yourself 
there."  I  was  about  six  years  old. 

Oh,  the  years  run  away  so  fast, 
and  in  no  time  it  was  Bar  Mitzvah 
year  for  me,  and  papa  was  telling 
me  that  morning,  "I  hope  you  truly 
understand  what  it  is  all  about.  To- 
day you  become  really  a  Jew.  Until 
now  you  have  been  a  Jew  only  be- 
cause you  were  born  that  way.  From 
here  on  you  become  a  Jew  who 
must  understand  what  being  a  Jew 
means.  Are  you  sure  you  under- 
stand?" 

And  I  replied,  "Yes,  I  got  to  put 
on  t'fillim  every  morning." 

"But  is  that  all  you  know  about 
being  a  Jew?  papa  asked.  "There's 
a  lot  more  to  it." 

Rosh  Hashonah  alter  Rosh  Has- 
honah —  like  today  coming  right 
after  yesterday,  and  tomorrow  al- 
ready in  sight!  Those  veirs  hurry 
one  through  school,  and  there  came 
running  a  year  when  I  was  old 
enough  to  be  thinking  of  what  to 
make  of  my  life. 

That  year  papa  asked  me:  "What 
do  you  think  you're  going  to  do 
with  yourself?  What  work,  what 
job,  what  profession?" 


Willy,  the  boy  who  lived  two 
doors  away  from  us  —  he  was  two 
years  older  than  I  —  had  started  to- 
ward the  purpose  of  becoming  a 
rabbi.  We  had  been  playing  base- 
ball together  and  he  was  a  good 
pitcher;  I  admired  Willy.  I  replied 
to  papa:  "I'll  go  along  with  Willy; 
I'll  try  to  be  a  rabbi,  too." 

So  I  entered  Hebrew  Union  Col- 
lege in  our  town,  to  be  educated 
into  the  Reform  rabbinate.  It  was 
a  time  when  the  college  was  taking 
high  school  boys  to  make  rabbis 
out  of  them  during  eight  years. 
But  there  were  only  two  of  those 
eight  years  for  me  in  the  college, 
and  I  was  put  out  of  there,  and 
papa  was  saying,  "Maybe  you  can 
still  help  yourself  to  be  a  worth- 
while Jew  after  all.  Why  don't  you 
try?" 

Rosh  Hashonah  .  .  .  and  another 
Rosh  Hashonah  .  .  .  and  another— 
one  running  into  the  next  in  a 
hurry:  but  in  that  time  of  my  life 
I  wasn't  noticing  the  swiftness  of 
the  years.  Years  go  more  slowly 
when  you're  young  and  it  seemed  a 
long  time  to  my  restive  soul  before 
I  found  a  job  as  reporter  on  a  news- 
paper —  a  long  time  before  I  was 
earning  enough  to  marry  Rose. 

More  than  50  Rosh  Hashonahs 
have  run  away  since  that  wedding 
day,  and  it  seems  no  time  at  all 
since  the  hour  I  first  looked  at  our 
first-born,  Joe,  in  the  hospital,  and 
after  him,  Bernie  and  Dilly,  and  to- 
day this  Segal  already  is  the  grand- 
pa of  seven  of  whom  all  but  one 
already  are  teen-agers.  (Only  the 
other  day,  it  seems,  these  grandchil- 
dren were  crawling  along  on  our 
living  room  rug.) 

When  crawling  on  the  rug  had 
tired  them,  this  grandpa  cuddled 
them  in  his  arms  and  thrilled  at 
the  joy  of  being  an  ancestor.  But 
now!  Those  kids  in  their  teens 
would  rather  go  their  own  ways  and 
grandpa  no  longer  means  much  to 
them.  Grandpa  merely  is  that  old- 
timer  whose  fluttering,  aging  heart 
feels  troubled  when  those  grand- 
sons go  driving  in  the  night;  just 
an  aging  guy,  and  what  does  he 
know  about  living  today?  What  can 
he  know  of  the  joy  of  driving  that 
last  on  the  roads?  Poor,  old  grand- 
pa! 


That's  the  way  all  those  hurrying 
Rosh  Hashonahs  leave  a  man  who 
only  the  other  day,  it  seems,  was 
looking  joyously  and  prayerfully  at 
his  first-born;  only  the  other  day 
he  was  on  Locust  Street. 

But  I  hope  that  no  one  who's 
reading  this  gets  the  idea  that  this 
is  a  sad  Rosh  Hashonah  for  this 


Segal  who  has  come  through  so 
many  Rosh  Hashonahs  in  a  hurry. 
Anyway,  through  all  those  quick 
years  he  has  managed  to  acquire  a 
bit  of  wisdom  .  .  .  not  much,  but 
just  enough  to  understand  what 
Rosh  Hashonah  is  all  about. 

Well,  in  schul,  in  this  new  year 
time,  maybe  I  shall  permit  my  mind

Jennie  Grossinger 


Fabulous  Woman 


Jennie  Grossinger  has  spent  so 
much  time  in  Durham,  N.  C.  in 
the  past  few  years,  that  the  Dur- 
ham community  would  like  to 
claim  her  as  one  of  its  own.  The 
facts  are,  however,  that  no  one 
community  can  claim  Jennie— for 
she  belongs  to  the  world. 

"When  we  started  the  hotel  45 
years  ago,  we  accommodated  only 
nine  guests  and  charged  nine  dol- 
lars a  week,"  Jennie  Grossinger 
said  in  a  recent  television  inter- 
view. "Then,  when  more  people 
came,"  she  continued,  "we  put  up 
tents  in  the  back  of  the  house  for 
them." 


From  those  humble  beginnings 
has  risen  the  giant  Grossinger 
Country  Club  at  Grossinger,  N.  Y., 
a  resort  that  Jennie  Grossinger 
and  her  family  started  as  a  farm 
in  1914  and  have  since  built  into 
one  of  the  world's  foremost  vaca- 
tion spots. 

Today,  the  Grossinger  Country 
Club  accommodates  more  than 
1200  guests  in  its  .32  buildings. 
There  are  more  than  900  staff 
members  at  the  resort,  which  is 
open  all-year-'round.  On  it's  1,000 
acres  are  facilities  ranging  from 
an  official  Olympic  swimming 
pool  to  an  18-hole  championship 


golf  course,  from  an  artificial  ice 
skating  rink  to  a  huge  private  air- 
port, from  a  beautiful  private  lake 
to  a  r  i  d  i  n  g  academy  with 
thoroughbred  horses  and  miles  of 
bridle  paths. 

There  are  eight  all-weather  and 
(lay  tennis  courts,  an  artificial 
snow-making  machine  for  the  ski 
slopes,  which  were  designed  by 
Hannes  Schneider.  There's  a  to- 
boggan with  a  trolley  to  transport 
guests  and  their  sleds  back  up 
the  hill  after  they've  zoomed 
down,  and  many  other  facilities 
lor  vacationers  to  enjoy  them- 
selves and  enable  the  resort  to 
live  up  to  its  famous  slogan: 
"Grossinger 's  Has  Everything." 

Struggled  To  Success 

Behind  it  all  is  the  story  of  a 
woman,  the  story  of  Jennie  Gross- 
inger, who  struggled  to  build  a 
resort  that  would  be  a  favorite 
with  vacationers  from  all  walks  of 
life.  And  she  has  succeeded.  At 
Grossinger's,  you'll  see  Hollywood 
and  Broadway  stars,  the  entertain- 
ment world's  new  laces  of  1 959, 
columnists  and  other  newspaper- 
men, sports  champions,  lads  and 
lasses  with  romance  in  mind,  tired 
business  men  and  tireless  youths. 

Although  her  husband,  Harry, 
prefers  to  remain  in  the  back- 
ground, he  has  contributed  con- 
siderably to  the  prosperity  of  the 
resort.  It  is  he  who  does  all  the 
buying.  Through  the  years,  he 
has  purchased  the  best  of  foods 
to  enable  the  Grossinger  chefs  to 
prepare  the  wonderful  cuisine  lor 
which  the  resort  is  world  famous. 
He  also  plans  and  supervises  all 
improvements   and  construction. 

He  recenth'  completed  a  $1,- 
500,00  indoor  swimming  pool  and 
two  health  clubs,  one  for  men  and 
the  other  for  women.  Florence 
Chadwick,  only  woman  ever  to 
swim  the  English  Channel  both 
ways,  is  the  Grossinger  aquatics 
director.  She  is  in  charge  of  the 
activities  at  the  resort's  four 
swimming  pools.  Miss  Chadwick 
gives  swimming  lessons  and  stages 
exhibitions. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Grossinger  have 
two  children,  a  son,  Paul,  and  a 
daughter,  Elaine,  both  of  whom 
are  married  and  have  three  young- 
sters each  of  their  own.  Paul,  who 
is  managing  director  of  the  resort, 
is  married  to  the  former  Ricelle 
(Runny)  Persky  of  Atlantic  City. 


V  J.  He  is  a  graduate  of  the  Cor- 
nell University  School  of  Hotel 
Administration.  Elaine  is  the  wile 
of  Dr.  David  Etess,  a  medical 
doctor  who  has  his  office  in  near- 
by Liberty,  N.  Y.  Mrs.  Etess  also 
participates  in  the  hotel's  manage- 
ment. Her  favorite  chore  is  plann- 
ing and  supervision  programs  for 
the  children,  teen-agers,  and 
young  adults  at  the  resort. 
Father  Comes  to  United  States 
Jennie  Grossinger  was  born  in 
Vienna  on  June  Hi,  1892.  She  is 
the  eldest  of  the  three  children  of 
Selig  and  Malka  Grossinger. 
There  is  a  sister,  Lottie,  and  a 
brother,  Harry.  The  father,  Selig, 
emigrated  alone  from  Austria  to 
the  United  States  in  1898.  Two 
years  later,  when  he  had  a  job  and 
enough  money,  he  sent  for  his 
family.  They  came  on  the  S.  S. 
Potsdam.  Upon  arriving  in  this 
country,  the  Grossingers  settled 
on  New  York's  teeming  East  Side. 

Within  a  few  years,  the  brother, 
Harry,  began  having  trouble  with 
his  hearing.  At  that  time  the 
world's  foremost  eye,  ear,  nose, 
and  throat  specialists  were  in 
Vienna;  so,  Malka  Grossinger  took 
him  back  to  the  old  country  for 
medical  care.  Lottie  went  along. 
Then  Jennie  and  they  send 
funds  to  the  other  members  of 
the  family  in  Austria.  To  do  this, 
he  woi\ed  very  hard  from  six  in 
the  morning  until  8  at  night,  six 
days  a  week.  Before  long,  he  be- 
gan to  feel  the  effects  of  the 
drudgery.  Noticing  this,  Jennie 
decided  to  get  a  job  so  that  she 
could  help  him  raise  the  money 
needed  for  the  family.  Jennie  was 
attending  grade  school  at  the  time, 
but  although  she  was  extremely 
anxious  to  get  a  good  education, 
she  felt  that  helping  her  father, 
mother,  sister  and  brother  was 
more  important. 

Jennie,  13,  Works  in  a  Factory 

The  law  called  for  children  to 
go  to  school  until  they  were  14 
vears  old.  Jennie,  who  was  only 
13,  sought  to  avoid  clashes  with 
the  truant  otiicer:  so,  she  made 
herself  look  older.  She  put  her 
hair  in  a  bun  and  donned  long 
skirts. 

Jennie  got  a  job  making  button- 
holes in  a  dress  factory.  The  hours 
were  from  7  a.  m.  to  6  p.  m.,  with 
a  half-hour  for  lunch.  She  didn't 
mind  the  hours  or  the  work.  She 
was  happy,  knowing  that  she  was 
helping  her  family.

The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


Reflections  on 
the  American  Scene 


By  Abba  Eban 


This  address  was  delivered  by  Mr.  Eban  at  t'.ie  52nd  Annual  Meeting  of 
the  American  Jewish  Committee.  It  is  his  "swan-song",  as  (he  left  the  post  of 
Israel  Ambassador  to  the  United  States,  to  go  to  Israel  Because  of  its  im- 
portance we  want  to  reproduce  it  in  its  entirety,  and  for  that  purpose  have 
divided  it  into  two  parts,  of  which  this  is  Part  1.  Part  2  will  appeal*  in  our 
October  issue.  The  Editor. 


ABBA  EBAN 


I  am  now  near  the  end  of  a  jour- 
ney which  began  eleven  years  ago, 
when  I  first  came  to  the  United 
Nations  to  plead  for  Israel's  rights 
of  sovereignty,  statehood,  peace  and 
self-defense.  That  journey  broaden- 
ed out  into  another  highway  two 
years  later,  when  I  was  dispatched 
to  Washington  bearing  letters  of 
credence  from  President  Weizmann 
to  the  President,  Government  and 
people  of  the  United  States,  bid- 
ding me  labor  for  the  establish- 
ment and  reinforcement  of  friendly 
relations  between  these  two  democ- 
racies, so  different  in  all  the  ele- 
ments of  their  physical  strength, 
but  so  mysteriously  linked  by  the 
memories  of  a  common  historic  ex- 
perience. 

They  have  been  unforgettable 
years:  years  touched  by  tragedy  and 
exaltation— years  which  began  with 
our  people  stunned  by  grief  as  it 
stood  before  the  charred  remains 
of  six  million  of  our  kin;  and  years 
which  now  end  with  our  sovereign 
nation  striding  proudly  towards  the 
fulfillment  of  its  destiny. 

It  is  natural  that  a  warrior  leav- 
ing an  arena  such  as  this,  after  an 
epoch  so  full  of  travail  and  color, 
should  find  many  crowded  mem- 
ories arising  before  his  mind.  Some 
of  my  most  vivid  memories  belong 
:o  Israel's  exploits  and  progress  in 
the  United  Nations.  I  cannot  for- 
get our  moments  of  frustration  and 
defeat  in  the  international  tribunal. 

But  when  all  is  said  and  remem- 
bered, Israel  has  gained  far  more 
from  her  association  with  this 
union  of  sovereign  peoples  than  she 
has  ever  lost  in  occasional  moments 
of  disillusionment  and  defeat.  I 
know  not  what  the  story  of  our  Jew- 
ish generation  would  have  been  if 
Israel's  desperate  leap  forward  to- 
wards freedom  had  not  intersected 


with  another  line  of  historic  devel- 
opment —  that  which  brought  into 
existence  an  international  forum  in 
which  international  problems  could 
be  discussed  in  terms  transcending 
the  interests  and  strategy  of  any 
single  nation. 

Moreover,  our  people  has  learn- 
ed, throughout  its  long,  historic 
journey,  that  ideas  have  an  inde- 
pendent value  irrespective  of  de- 
fects in  their  implementation. 
There  is  no  concept  in  the  modern 
world  of  ideas  which  conforms 
more  closely  with  Israel's  prophetic 
tradition  or  with  her  hopes  of  free- 
dom, than  this  majestic  design  of  a 
family  of  nations  joined  together  in 
a  covenant  of  justice  and  peace. 

I  therefore  lay  down  this  part  of 
my  mission  in  the  conviction  that 
Israel  owes  gratitude  to  the  United 
Nations,  and  reverent  honor  to  its 
flag. 

A  similar  verdict  comes  to  my 
lips  as  I  look  back  on  the  other 
arena  in  which  I  have  been  my 
country's  sentinel.  Words  cannot 
express  the  value  which  American 
sustenance  and  support  have 
brought  to  Israel  throughout  the 
years  of  her  ordeal.  America  was 
first  to  recognize  Israel;  first  to  de- 
fine our  independence  and  integ- 
rity as  essential  elements  of  her 
own  international  policy;  first  to 
sponsor  Israel's  recognition  as  wor- 
thy of  emulation  by  other  nations; 
first  to  proclaim  and  first  to  uphold 
our  crucial  right  of  free  and  inno- 
cent passage  across  the  Gulf  of  Aqa- 
ba  —  thus  forming  the  bridge  on 
which  we  have  constructed  our  new 
fraternity  with  the  continents  of 
Asia  and  Africa;  first  and  unique 
in  the  massive  infusion  of  aid  which 
she  has  injected  into  the  veins  and 
arteries  of  our  own  economy,  socie- 
ty and  culture;  main  citadel  and 
central  reservoir  of  our  public  sym- 


pathies and  our  Jewish  solidarities. 
In  all  of  these  acts  of  friendship 
America  lias  shed  a  gracious  light 
upon  our  early  years. 

Jerusalem  and  Washington  have- 
not  always  seen  everything  alike. 
But  on  the  substantive,  crucial, 
lundamental  issues  —  of  our  sov- 
ereignty, our  survival,  our  state- 
hood, our  right  to  recognition,  our 
membership  in  the  international 
community,  our  hope  for  economic 
and  social  progress— there  has  been 
a  constant  stream  of  American  pol- 
icy and  sentiment  flowing  along  the 
road  of  our  salvation. 

As  I  lay  down  my  mission  to 
America  I  am  convinced  that  there 
are  no  differences  between  the  gov- 
ernments of  the  United  States  and 
Israel  which  cannot  be  resolved  by 
tenacious  and  friendly  discussion. 
For  the  theme  of  the  American- 
Israel  dialogue  no  longer  bears  on 
the  more  c  rucial  issues  of  our  state- 
hood, our  integrity  or  our  consoli- 
dation. These  have  been  common 
ground  between  us  for  several  years. 

There  is  far  less  of  crisis  and  ten- 
sion in  our  relations  than  a  nervous 
and  volatile  press  would  sometimes 
have  us  believe.  Indeed,  our  prob- 
lems spring  not  from  incompatibil- 
ity, but  from  perplexity  —  a  per- 
plexity common  to  America  and 
Israel,  as  each  faces  the  torrential 
gusts  of  conflict  and  passion  in  the 
Arab  world. 

America  and  Israel,  as  members 
of  the  democratic  family  of  nations, 
have  much  to  gain  from  contempla- 
tion of  each  other.  Can  Israel's  rise 
fail  to  strike  a  chord  of  memory  in 
the  heart  of  any  American  who  still 
cherishes  the  saga  of  his  own  revo- 
lution? Surely  our  nascent  society, 
despite  its  own  unique  and  specific 
attributes,  is  in  essence  a  repetition 
in  miniature  of  the  sweeping  events 
whereby  America  was  built  through 


the  immigration  and  pioneering 
movements  of  her  formative  years. 

Israel  has  been  much  contemplat- 
ed by  Americans.  Envoys,  econo- 
mists, tourists,  commissions,  sena- 
tors, representatives,  writers,  movie 
producers  —  all  have  examined  us, 
up  and  down.  Israel  has  been  bom- 
barded with  praise,  criticism,  and, 
above  all,  unlimited  advice. 

No  nation  has  ever  sustained  such 
a  constant  barrage  of  counsel.  Only 
a  rugged  people  could  have  sur- 
vived. 

Until  this  evening  we  have  never 
retaliated.  There  is  no  literature 
on  what  Israel  thinks  of  America- 
how  the  contemporary  life  of  your 
nation  reflects  itself  in  our  eyes. 
There  is  a  rich  tradition  of  com- 
ment left  by  emissaries  from  other 
lands.  Many,  even  the  brilliant  dc 
Toccjueville  and  the  perceptive 
Bryce,  fell  victim  at  times  co  the 
utter  incalculability  of  9  society  too 
vast  and  turbulent  for  portrayal,  let 
alone  for  prediction. 

No  one  could  fail  to  be  awed  by 
the  sheer  vastness  of  American  life; 
by  the  majestic  grandeur  of  her 
landscape       the  vastness  of  her 
lulls,  the  endless  expanse  of  her 
valleys;   the   inimitable  variety  of 
her  peoples;   the  mysterious  pro- 
cesses of  her  union,  creating  the  tap- 
estry of  a  new  civilization  out  of 
so  many  variant  and  seemingly  con- 
flicting threads.  The  genius  of  her 
freedom  and  the  overpowering  ele- 
ment of  her  size  create  a  condition 
in  which  almost  every  generaliza- 
tion can  be  at  once  true  and  mis- 
leading. Nor  is  her  true  temper 
always  visible  on  the  surface  of  her 
life. 

America  is  thus  the  most  studied 
and  the  least  understood  of  nations. 
Anyone  who  goes  through  this  lit- 
erature becomes  sharply  aware  that 
the  final  answer  has  not  been  given. 


lO 


The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


The  forecast  ol  America's  destiny 
still  challenges  the  political  schol- 
arship of  our  times. 

I  am  the  son  ol  a  nation  which 
has  had  many  prophets  in  its  his- 
tory. All  of  them  have  got  into  seri- 
ous trouble.  I  do  not  offer  you  my 
reflections  without  knowing  the 
acute  necessity  of  treading  warily. 

I  see  before  me  a  growing  society. 
The  United  States  to  which  I  came 
in  1948  was  a  people  of  140  million 
in  48  states.  Today  there  are  175 
million  in  50  states.  Thus,  within  a 
short  period  in  the  lifetime  of  a 
man  far  short  of  decrepitude,  Amer- 
ica has  increased  by  numbers  not 
far  less  than  the  total  population 
of  a  great  European  power. 

Even  at  the  appare  nt  pinnacle  of 
her  strength,  America  is  still  com- 
manded by  the  laws  of  growth.  This 
is  still  a  young  society,  even  though 
it  controls  the  greatest  aggregate  of 
materiat  power  ever  assembled  un- 
der any  government  amongst  men. 

The  consequences  are  manifold 
and  fundamental.  A  growing  peo- 
ple is  not  shackled  by  the  dead 
hand  of  tradition.  Its  eyes  are  on 
the  perspectives  which  lie  ahead, 
not  on  the  journey  it  has  already 
accomplished. 

This  forward-looking  outlook  is 
specifically  and  uniquely  congenial 
to  Israel's  tradition  and  tempera- 
ment. All  civilizations  contempo- 
rary with  ancient  Israel  had  in  their 
legend  and  philosophy  the  concept 
of  a  golden  age  in  which  the  con- 
flicts between  order  and  freedom 
were  transcended.  But  each  placed 
its  golden  age  in  the  past,  at  the 
very  beginning  of  history.  When 
they  compared  the  past  perfection 
with  the  failures  and  ills  of  their 
own  existence,  they  were  plunged 
into  a  deep  melancholy.  Human 
life  appeared  to  them  as  a  futile 
repetition,  a  wheel  going  round 
and  round,  coming  back  to  a  start- 
ing point  in  darkness  and  chaos. 

But  Israel  in  a  burst  of  lucid  and 
revolutionary  genius  put  this  gold- 
en age  in  the  future,  and  thus  con- 
ceived of  history  as  unfolding  itself 
across  time  in  a  pattern  of  prog- 
ress. This  was  the  deep  purport  of 
Jewish  Messianism.  Whether  di- 
rectly through  the  ancient  Jewish 
stream  or  through  its  vast  Christian 
tributary,  America  has  maintained 
this    forward-lookingness    as  her 


most  characteristic  attribute  of  tem- 
per and  spirit. 

In  the  old  world,  other  civiliza- 
tions once  more  powerful  than  the 
United  States  have  long  ceased  to 
advance  or,  at  most,  advance  slowly 
and  with  difficulty.  America  is  a 
society  still  moving  swiftly  in  a  con- 
tinual growth  to  which  the  re- 
sources of  this  continent  set  no  vis- 
ible limit. 

Beyond  this  strong  impression  of 
growth,  I  have  observed  the  en- 
largement and  deepening  of  Ameri- 
can libertarianism.  It  is  visible  in 
the  crumbling  of  barriers  between 
America's  own  races  and  classes, 
and  in  her  active  sponsorship  of 
national  freedom  in  the  awakening 
continents  of  Asia  and  Africa. 

Nothing  more  important  can  be 
said  about  America  than  that  it  is 


the  central  fortress  of  democracy. 
When  de  Tocqueville  wrote  his 
treatise,  he  made  it  clear  that  he  was 
not  writing  about  America  at  all. 
He  said,  "I  confess  that  in  America 
I  saw  more  than  America.  I  saw 
the  image  of  democracy  itself!" 

America,  as  conceived  by  its 
founders,  was  not  yet  a  nation  with 
deep  historic  roots  or  a  clearly  de- 
fined cultural  personality.  The  Dec- 
laration of  Independence  hardly 
speaks  of  creating  an  American  na- 
tion. It  was  concerned  with  a  peo- 
ple deprived  of  freedom  and  the 
object  was  to  create  a  society  in 
which  men  could  be  liberated  from 
each  other.  From  all  over  the  world 
men  would -come-to  America  —  not- 
to  be  Americans,  but  to  be  free. 

Later,  of  course,  a  national  tem- 
perament and  character  were  to 


emerge.  But  nationalism  was  only 
the  second  phase  in  the  develop- 
ment of  American  society.  Freedom 
was  the  purpose  of  its  existence; 
and  freedom  set  the  horizons  of  its 
progress. 

Israel,  too,  is  born  of  an  idea— 
the  idea  of  historic  reunion  be- 
tween a  people,  a  land  and  a  lan- 
guage. When  they  lived  together, 
these  three  achieved  an  incompar- 
able burst  of  intellectual  and  spir- 
itual radiance;  and  in  coming  to- 
gether again,  they  may  well  recre- 
ate their  previous  greatness. 

.  ^Because  democracy  is  an  inherent 
;md  organic  part  of  America's  very 
existence,  nothing  is  more  impor- 
tant  for  other  free  nations,  great 
and  small,  than  the  manner  in 
which  democracy  vindicates  itselt 
here.  America  is  the  crucial  labora-

A  Ketum  Zo  Prayer 

A  Story  For  The  High  Holy  Days 


By  Harry  E.  Wedeck 


HARRY  E  WEDECK 


"You'll  be  a  good-for-nothing, 
Sam,"  his  father  rebuked  him. 
"Never  wanted  to  go  to  school. 
Never  a  prayer.  Nothing  but  sport 
and  cards.  What  is  to  become  of 
you?"  His  voice  rose  in  deep  anger. 

Sam,  just  seventeen,  stood  there 
before  his  father,  sulky,  resentful. 

"1  don't  want  to  study,  pop,"  he 
grumbled.  "Aw,  leave  me  alone. 
I  want  to  get  around,  to  make 
money.  Fast." 

"Fast,  Sam,"  "his  father  splut- 
tered." Have  I  made  money?  You 
can't  make  money  fast.  You  must 
give  before  you  get." 

"Aw,  pa,"  Sam  answered. 

"Let  the  boy  be,  Morris,"  Sam's 
mother  pleaded,  coming  in  from 
the  kitchen. 

"Let  him  be,"  Sam's  father 
shrieked.  "Let  him  be  what?  A 
thief?  A  criminal?  A  dope  fiend? 
A  racketeer?  I  tell  him  to  go  to 
school,  and  he  answers  me  like 
that." 

But  Sam  had  his  way.  In  a  few 
years  he  had  shrewdly  branched 
out,  bought  up  some  store  in  the 
town,  closed  a  deal  in  real  estate. 
He  became  a  partner  with  another 
enterprising  man,  and  together 
they  flourished. 

Sam,  in  his  thirties,  was  eager 
and  restless.  He  was  rarely  at  home. 
Always  out  with  someone  or  other, 
planning  a  deal,  consummating  a 
deal.  It  was  always  money  that  was 
involved;  large  sums  of  money.  And 
by  some  quirk  of  fate  Sam  was  in- 
variably lucky. 

His  wife  now  had  two  mink 
coats.  His  Cadillac  was  exchanged 
every  year.  He  bought,  without  a 
mortgage,  a  house  in  the  suburbs. 


People  came  to  visit  him:  acquaint- 
ances, a  business  men.  sometimes 
humble  men  in  search  of  a  favor. 

Sam  was  lavish.  He  was  generous. 
"We'll  soon  be  beggars.  Sam,  if  you 
hand  out  such  favors,"  his  wife 
sometimes  rebuked  him. 

"Nonsense,  Flo.  The  more  I  give, 
the  more  I  make.  I'm  in  a  deal 
just  now,  Wait.  You'll  see." 

Norman,  his  son,  now  eleven, 
went  to  a  private  school.  In  the 
summer,  he  was  sent  to  a  ranch 
in  Arizona.  There  were  two  maids 
in  the  house. 

"Would  you  like  a  car  for  a 
birthday  present,  Flo?"  Sam  asked. 

"A  Cadillac,  Sam.  Can  I  have  it 
ahead   of   time?   I'm   going   to  a 
Canasta  party  next  Wednesday." 
"You'll  have  it,  Flo." 

The  car  arrived,  sleek  and  glit- 
tering, on  Tuesday. 

One  wet  Sunday  Sam  was  at 
home.  He  looked  out  of  the  win- 
dow in  the  living  room.  The  driz- 
zle was  steady.  The  leaves  drooped 
wet  and  desolate. 

"What  a  day!"  Sam  exclaimed, 
going  into  the  bedroom. 

"What  do  you  mean,  Sam?"  Flo 
asked.  "What's  the  rain  got  to  do 
with  it?  Aren't  we  going  out  this 
afternoon  to  the  Minkins,  then 
drive  into  town  for  dinner?" 

"I  mean  now.  This  minute." 

"Can't  you  call  up  any  of  your 
business  friends,  Sam?" 

"I  don't  want  to." 

"Well,  then?" 

"I  think  I'll  go  and  see  the  old 
man." 

"See  your  father?  Now?  We've 
an  engagement  this  afternoon." 

"Never  mind  that.  Anyway,  I'll 
be  back." 

"As  you  please,"  she  answered, 
sulkily. 

Sam  brought  out  the  car,  opened 
the  engine,  and  started.  He  drove 


clown  into  the  Old  Town,  where 
his  father  had  remained  all  these 
years.  Even  after  his  wife's  death. 

He  had  never  wanted  to  leave, 
although  Sam  had  offered  him  a 
loom  of  his  own  with  the  family. 

"Don't  coax  him,  Sam,"  Flo  had 
said."  If  he  doesn't  want  to  come, 
let  him  stay  where  he  is." 

That  is  what  she  wanted,  actual- 
ly, that  is  what  happened. 

"Ah,  Sam,  it's  you?"  his  father 
looked  up  from  the  old  volume, 
yellow  and  stained  with  age,  that 
lay  spread  before  him. 

"How  are  you,  pa?  Need  any 
money?"  Sam  jingled  coins  in  his 
oxford  grey  pockets. 

"Money?  What  do  I  need  money 
for,  Sam?  I  have  this  already."  He 
pointed  with  an  arthritic  finger 
to  the  volume. 

Sam  smiled. 

"Same  old  father.  Well,  as  you 
like,  pap.  You  know.  You're  wel- 
come. Anything  you  want.  Just 
ask." 

"Anything,  Sam?  I'll  ask  you  one 
thing." 

"Go  ahead." 

"Will  you  go  to  Schul  this  Yom 
Kippur?" 

Sam  laughed. 

"Still  the  same  old  pa,  aren't 
you?  Always  worrying  about  me. 
What  good  will  it  do  you  if  I  go  to 
Schul?" 

"It  will  do  you  good,  Sam." 

Sam  shook  his  head.  Shortly 
after,  he  left. 

"Well,  I  tried,"  he  argued  with 
himself,  as  he  drove  back  home- 
ward. 

That  summer  was  unusual:  hot 
and  humid  for  long  days  on  end: 
and  over  the  country  sickness 
spread  moist,  clammy  tentacles. 
Particularly  among  the  youngsters. 


Toward  the  end  of  July  Sam 
received  a  letter  from  Norman's 
camp  director.  It  was  worded 
gently,  but  Sam  grew  alarmed. 

"Norman  must  be  pretty  sick, 
Flo.  They  wouldn't  write  otherwise, 
would  they?" 

"Oh,  don't  worry,  Sam.  Probably 
over-ate  at  an  outing  or  something." 

But  that  night  Sam  was  restless. 
He  couldn't  sleep.  In  the  morning, 
he  announced:  , 

"Flo,  I'm  going  to  fly  to  Arizona. 
I  must  know  how  Norman  is." 

"What  about  that  big  deal  you 
have  this  afternoon?" 
"It  will  have  to  wait." 
Arrived  at  Arizona,  he  quickly 
discovered  that  there  had  been  a 
polio  outbreak.  Mild,  but  requiring 
care.  Norman  came  back  with  Sam 
and  began  treatment.  The  treat- 
ments were  highly  beneficial.  Nor- 
man recuperated  satisfactorily.  By 
the  end  of  August,  he  was  con- 
valescing at  ease. 

"You  know,  Flo,  I'd  like  to  go 
down  to  the  old  schul  this  week, 
Sam  declared  one  breakfast  morn- 
ing a  little  later. 

"What's  the  matter,  Sam?  Got 
religious?  You  haven't  been  in  a 
schul  since  you  were  a  small  kid, 
have  yci?'' 

"No,  Flo.  That's  maybe  why  I 
want  (c  go  now." 
"Oh,  go  on,  then,  as  you  wish." 
She  nodded,  pondering. 
On  Yom  Kippur  eve  Sam  drove 
down  to  the  Old  Quarter:  parked 
his  car.  Then  he  walked  to  the 
Great  Synagogue.  It  was  already 
filled.   The   lamps   glowed  red, 
There  was  a  hush  as  men  put  on 
their  praying  shawls.  Prayer  books 
riffled.  Sudden  spurts  of  invoca- 
tion, sighs  broke  into  the  warm 
air.

First  Love 

By  William  Ornsfeiit 

We  welcome  the  return  to  our  columns  of  William  Ornstein,  gifted  story- 
teller whose  writings  take  us  back  to  the  days  of  our  youth.  Here's  another 
?em,  written  in  the  now  familiar  vein.  The  Editor. 


WILLIAM  ORNSTEIN 


Becky  Kornbloom  was  her  name 
and  she  was  my  first  love. 

She  was  not  a  good-looker,  as  the 
saying  went  in  those  days,  Her  fea- 
tures were  dark:  she  had  thick  black 
eyebrows  which  matched  the  color 
of  her  wavy  hair,  and  one  thing  I 
couldn't  help  noticing  about  her: 
she  was  neatly  dressed  at  all  times, 
the  essence  of  freshness:  her  blouses, 
dresses  and  skirts  always  pressed  to 
perfection. 

She  grew  up  with  her  friends, 
and  I  had  mine  on  the  same  block 
in  the  thick  of  Harlem  hard  by  the 
East  River.  Today  the  neighbor- 
hood has  grown  up,  rich  red  brick 
developments  projected  by  the 
City's  Low  Cost  Housing  Program 
having  shunted  the  time-worn  tene- 
ments into  memory  lane. 

I,  being  athletically  inclined,  nev- 
er paid  much  attention  to  Becky 
and  she,  in  turn,  coveyed  with  the 
girls  on  the  block  and  at  Union  Set- 
tlement where  they  formed  a  club 
called  The  Blue  Jays.  None  of  the 
members  could  say  why  they  picked 
on  this  particular  name  except  that 
it  sounded  nice. 

This  gave  the  boys,  the  crowd  I 
palled  out  with  on  the  block,  an 
inspiration.  And  soon  we  announc- 
ed that  we  had  organized  a  club  of 
our  own  known  as  The  Spartans. 
The  girls  held  to  themselves  and  us 
Spartans  naturally  ignored  them 
for  the  fun  of  basketball,  handball, 
longball,  softball,  as  well  as  base- 
ball, swimming,  and  other  activities 
which  fitted  the  glove  of  our  club 
name. 

Then,  out  of  one  of  those  spring 
clear  blue  skies  one  day,  Becky, 
who  lived  directly  above  us  in  the 
same  front  flat  and  now,  at  16,  was 
finishing  her  first  year  at  Walton 
High,  was  about  to  pass  me  as  I 
was  standing  on  the  stoop  of  our 
building.  Usually  she'd  say  hello 
and  continue  on  her  jaunty  way. 


But  today,  with  three  books  un- 
der her  arm  and  apparently  in  no 
hurry  to  rush  to  the  library,  she 
stopped  short  after  saying,  "Hello, 
David." 

I  returned  her  hello  and  she 
smiled  one  of  her  rare  smiles. 

Becky  looked  into  my  eyes  and  I 
couldn't  help  noticing  for  the  first 
time  that  she  had  brown  buttons  in 
hers. 

"The  Blue  Jays  are  going  to  hold 
an  outing.  Would  you  care  to 
come?" 

I  was  lost  for  words  and  the  best 
I  could  say,  after  I  caught  up  with 

my  tongue,  was,  "When  is  it?" 

"Two  weeks  from  this  Sunday. 
We're  planning  to  ride  over  to  the 
Hudson,  cross  over  on  the  125th 
Street  ferry  and  then  hike  up  the 
Palisades." 

"That's  not  bad,"  I  remember 
saying.  "Who  else  is  going  along?  I 
mean  from  the  Spartans." 

She  replied  she  didn't  know  but 
she  would  find  out;  she  was  sure 
some  of  my  crowd  would  be  accom- 
panying some,  if  not  all,  of  the  Blue 

Jays. 

I  told  her  I'd  let  her  know  as 
soon  as  she  learned  what  girls  were 
going  with  whom. 

About  a  week  later  she  paused 
again  on  the  stoop,  long  enough  to 
convey  the  information  that  at  least 
six  of  The  Spartans  had  agreed  to 
go  along  with  as  many  Blue  Jays.  I 
would  be  the  seventh,  she  said,  and 
I  then  and  there  gave  her  my  de- 
cision to  be  her  escort. 

"Thanks,  David,"  she  chirped. 
"I'll  be  seeing  you,"  and  off  she 
went,  clicking  her  heels  to  a  merry 
tune,  her  buttocks  taking  on  a  sud- 
den bounce  as  she  headed  arm-lad- 
en with  books  for  the  library  near- 
by. 


Becky  had  prepared  the  sand- 
wiches and  extras  so  there  was  noth- 
ing I  had  to  concern  myself  with 
on  the  day  of  the  maiden  date  with 
my  upstairs  neighbor.  By  this  time 
most  of  the  Spartans  had  collected 
in  front  of  the  Union  Settlement, 
less  than  a  handful  not  going  along 
for  one  reason  or  another. 

On  the  way  to  the  Palisades  out- 
ing grounds  we  sang  songs  that 
were  the  favorites  of  the  day,  told 
stories  like,  "Did'ja  hear  the  other 
day  about  so-and-so  getting  pinched 
for  stealing?  And  did  you  hear  the 
one  about  the  fella  who  sat  on  top 
of  a  flag  pole  for  a  week  and  when 
he  came  down  his  wife  told  him  to 
go  fly  a  kite?"  Some  of  the  boys 
talked  about  the  Yanks  and  the 
Giants  while  the  girls  talked  about 
Francis  K.  Bushman,  Maurice  Cos- 
tello,  and  John  Barrymore  as  the 
men  they'd  like  to  marry.  It  was 
things  that  were  uppermost  in  our 
minds  that  helped  us  while  away 
the  time  and  boredom  of  traveling. 

Finally,  after  a  few  miles  of  hik- 
ing, we  made  the  camping  and  play- 
ground sector,  immediately  digging 
into  the  food  packs  to  dispose  of 
our  hunger  pangs.  The  sandwiches 
and  thermos  of  lemonade  and  or- 
angeade were  a  delight  to  our  starv- 
ing stomachs  and  after  we  were  all 
smiles  again  someone  suggested, 
"Let's  play  a  game." 

I  was  for  playing  a  game  of  ball, 
but  stupidly,  us  Spartans  overlook- 
ed the  bringing  of  a  rubber  or  soft 
ball.  So,  when  one  of  the  girls, 
amorous-minded,  to  say  the  least, 
suggsted,  "Let's  spin  the  bottle," 
Abe  Shapiro,  my  closest  friend, 
came  up  with  a  pop  bottle  and 
didn't  lose  any  time  getting  the 
game  going. 

As  much  as  I  hoped  that  when  it 
came  my  turn  my  spin  would  point 
Becky,  or  her  spin  would  point  to 
me,  it  never  happened.  Joe  Benson 
and  Rudy  Clark  were  lucky  in  that 
way  and  all  Becky  would  permit 


was  a  pucker  on  the  cheek.  Like- 
wise, when  it  came  her  turn  to  take 
over  the  bottle,  a  non-Spartan  was 
the  lucky  fella  to  be  bussed  on  the 
forehead. 

It  was  happy  the  way  Becky  acted, 
believing  she  was  saving  the  real 
kiss  on  the  lips  for  me.  But  I  was 
sadly  disappointed,  for  when  we 
said  goodbye,  I  for  the  first  time 
taking  her  to  her  very  door,  she 
shook  my  hand,  standing  her  dis- 
tance, and  I  said,  "Thanks  for  ev- 
erything." 

She  left  me  with  a  smile  I  still 
remember,  a  certain  light  glowing 
from  her  eyes,  and  I  felt  then  and 
there  that  she  liked  me,  for  I  cer- 
tainly liked  her  and  admired  every- 
thing about  her. 

It  was  some  time  later,  I  don't 
remember  just  when,  that  Becky 
again  invited  me  to  be  her  date, 
this  time  on  a  picnic  to  Van  Court- 
land  Park.  The  faces  weren't  the 
same  in  the  group  that  went  along 
for  a  day  of  ball-playing,  boating 
and  singing.  Abe  Shapiro  came  with 
Stella  Adler,  with  whom  he  had 
gone  to  the  movies  several  times> 
now  that  he  was  working,  like  my- 
self, and  in  a  position  to  spend  the 
cost  of  an  extra  admission  with  a 
soda  afterwards  at  the  corner  store. 

Both  Abe  and  I  had  clerical  jobs 
in  the  same  company.  1  got  mine 
by  answering  an  ad  in  the  Times 
and  then  brought  Abe  in  when  my 
superior  said  he  could  use  an  extra 
hand. 

Well,  anyway,  Abe  was  dating 
Stella,  but  I  was  saving  my  money. 

I  don't  know  if  I  had  the  courage 
to  ask  Becky  to  go  out  with  me.  She 
was  always  so  much  in  a  hurry,  like 
a  fireball  headed  for  a  target,  that 
I  just  didn't  think  it  proper  to  stop 
her  and  ask  her  if  she'd  like  to  see 
this  movie  or  that,  or  attend  thai 
concert  or  see  a  certain  play  on 
Broadway.

Major  Alfred  Mordecai 

!  1854 

Conscientious  Objector 

By  HasTY  Simomhof  f 


If  AERY  SIMONHOFF 


In  the  early  years  of  the  strug- 
gling republic,  many  Jewish  vol- 
unteers enlisted  in  the  armed  forces. 
Some  rose  from  the  ranks  and  at- 
tained the  rank  of  Colonel.  But 
after  the  wars  each  soldier,  as  he 
was  mustered  out,  went  back  readily 
to  his  btisiness  or  occupation.  With 
the  possible  exception  of  Samuel 
Noah,  the  first  Jew  to  choose  the 
army  as  a  life  profession  was  Major 
Alfred  Mordecai;  and  he  might 
have  reached  the  rank  of  Major 
General  if  conscience  had  not  in- 
terfered. 

Born  in  1804  in  North  Carolina, 
Alfred  grew  up  care  free  and  well 
adjusted  in  Warrenton  near  the 
Virginia  border  and  remained  there 
until  1819.  His  father,  Jacob  Mor- 
decai, owned  and  operated  the 
famous  Warrenton  Female  Semi- 
nary. Disqualified  from  attending  a 
a  girls'  school,  Alfred  nevertheless 
managed  to  pick  up  from  the 
teaching  staff,  chiefly  his  own 
family,  sufficient  education  to  read 
ancient  classics  in  the  original  Latin 
and  Greek.  Grounded  in  history, 
geography,  French,  mathematics, 
and  literature,  he  was  perhaps  the 
best  prepared  cadet  when  admitted 
to  West  Point  in  this  15th  year. 

Graduating  first  in  his  class,  he 
was  detailed  as  assistant  professor 
at  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy  until 
relieved  several  years  later  to  be- 
come assistant  engineer  in  the  con- 
struction of  Fortress  Monroe  in 
Virginia  and  Fort  Calhoun  at  Nor- 
folk. On  completion  he  was  ap- 
pointed assistant  to  the  Chief  En- 
gineer of  the  U.  S.  Army  and  de- 
tailed to  construct  ballistic  pen- 
dulums. Made  asistant  inspector  of 
arsenals,  he  had  three  under  his 
direct  charge.  In  command  of  the 


Washington  arsenal,  he  was  raised 
to  the  rank  of  Major  for  meri- 
torious service  in  the  line  oi  duty 
during  the  Mexican  War. 

The  War  Department  considered 
Major  Mordecai  more  than  a  hard- 
working, efficient  officer.  He  was 
sent  on  a  mission  that  required 
penetration,  boldness,  and  honesty 
in  the  investigation  of  a  delicate 
issue  that  involved  good  relations 
between  governments.  As  part  of  the 
peace  treaty,  Mexico  agreed  to  pay 
American  citizens  in  her  territories 
such  of  their  losses  as  grew  out  of 
the  war.  The  Mexican  government 
had  paid  out  under  protest  an  ex- 
orbitant claim  which  it  was  now 
seeking  to  recover.  Alfred  Mordecai 
received  the  assignment  to  adjust 
this  claim.  He  went  into  the  wilds 
of  Mexico  and  made  a  report  which 
recommended  the  repayment  oi 
$500,000.  The  U.  S.  Government 
approved  Mordecai's  recommenda- 
tion and  paid  this  amount  to 
Mexico. 

When  the  Crimean  War  broke 
out,  Major  Mordecai  was  sent 
over  as  an  observer  together  with 
Capt.  George  B.  McCellan,  later 
to  become  the  top  ranking  com- 
mander of  the  Union  forces  in  the 
Civil  War  and  the  opponent  of 
President  Lincoln  in  the  1864 
campaign.  The  capable  but  reac- 
tionary Nicholas  I  Czar  of  all  the 
Russias  is  said  to  have  received 
the  American-Jewish  officer  at  a 
private  conference.  Mordecai's  ob- 
servations in  Europe  during  the 
war  in  Crimea  were  published  by 
order  of  Congress  in  the  Senate 
Executive  Document  No.  60. 

The  fates  had  been  singularly 
kind  to  Alfred  Mordecai.  Hand- 
some in  person,  with  the  social 


graces  and  easy  manner  derived 
of  a  refined  and  cultured  family 
well  integrated  in  its  milieu,  he 
never  knew  any  discriminations  in 
the  society  of  the  military  caste. 
As  a  student  in  West  Point  all  ref- 
erences to  religion,  except  in  philo- 
sophic discourse,  were  studiously 
avoided  by  his  class  mates.  More- 
oxer,  he  was  happily  married  and 
father  of  a  family.  His  peace  time 
services  packed  with  achievement 
were  recorded  and  reflected  in  the 
numerous  tracts,  digests,  manuals, 
and  reports  he  wrote  on  military 
and  scientific  techniques.  Secure  in 
the  estimate  of  his  superiors  as  an 
officer  of  high  merit  and  uncom- 
mon ability,  his  future  seemed 
bright  with  honors  and  promo- 
tions. 

But  his  sky  became  darkened  by 
the  same  clouds  that  overcast  the 
United  States  and  soon  broke  into 
a  furious  storm.  Like  many  another 
soldier  or  civilian,  Major  Mor- 
decai found  himself  in  the  quan- 
dary of  conflicting  loyalties  between 
his  State  and  the  Federal  Union. 
No  believer  in  secession,  he  never- 
theless could  not  force  himself  to 
shower  death  and  destruction  upon 
his  native  state,  the  home  of  his 
happy  childhood  and  adolescence. 
He  could  find  no  other  alternative 
than  to  resign  his  commission  and 
remain  in  Philadelphia.  Thus 
ended  suddenly  the  labors  of  a 
lifetime,  filled  with  valuable  mili- 
tary experience. 

After  a  career  of  42  years  in 
the  army,  the  Major  found  himself 
out  of  a  job.  Raising  a  family  on 
officer's  pay  hardly  left  much  re- 
serve in  the  savings  bank.  He  needed 
work,  but  at  57  good  jobs  are  not 
easily  obtained.  His  daughters  were 


teachers.  So  the  father  also  man- 
aged to  get  work  teaching  mathe- 
matics. Their  combined  salaries  en- 
abled the  family  to  maintain  their 
accustomed  living  standard. 

But  Allied  Mordecai  had  too 
much  ability  and  personality  to 
remain  in  eclipse.  He  was  offered 
by  the  Mexico  and  Pacific  Ralroad 
a  position  as  engineer  in  the  con- 
si  ruction  of  trunk  lines  from  Vera 
Cruz  to  Mexico  City  thence  to  the 
Pacific.  In  Mexico  he  lived  without 
hs  family,  moving  chiefly  in  the 
society  of  Confederate  expatriates. 
With  several  former  army  officers, 
he  was  presented  at  Court  to 
Maximilian  and  Carlotta,  the  ilt 
starred  Emperor  and  Empress  ot 
Mexico.  He  returned  to  Philadel- 
phia in  1867  and  for  the  next  20 
years  held  down  the  important 
position  of  Treasurer  and  Secretary 
of  Canal  and  Coal  Companies  con- 
trolled by  the  Pennsylvania  Rail- 
road. 

One  cannot  escape  t he  conclusion 
that  Major  Alfred  Mordecai's 
honest  scruples  cost  him  a  place  in 
American  history.  Few  professional 
soldiers  were  better  equipped  _  for 
high  service  when  tTie  Civil  War 
started.  Of  the  vintage  of  Lee  and 
Grant  and  as  well  trained,  he  could 
have  made  his  mark  on  either  side 
of  the  conflict.  His  less  sensitive  son 
and  namesake  joined  the  Union 
forces  in  1861  and  died  a  general. 
Alfred  Mordecai  is  forgotten.  And 
yel  he  might  have  been  mentioned 
in  the  same  breath  with  Philip 
Sheridan  and  Stonewall  Jackson, 
with  William  Sherman  and  Joseph 
Johnston.  Like  all  conscientious 
objectors,  he  was  a  victim  of  prin- 
ciple. To  him  applies  the  German 
maxim:  idealism  destroys.

A  Visit  With  Justice  Frankfurter 

By  Murray  Frank 

has  been  serving  longer  —  by  one 
year. 

Approximately  a  half  year  ago, 
Justice  Frankfurter  suffered  a  mild 
heart  attack  and  withdrew  from 
active  participation  in  the  delib- 
erations of  the  Court.  He  recovered 
quickly,  however,  and  returned  to 
his  judicial  duties.  There  were 
rumors  at  the  time  that  Justice 
Frankfurter  intended  to  resign  his 
position  on  the  Supreme  Court  and 
withdraw  from  public  life  because 
of  his  age  and  health.  A  number 
of  months  have  elapsed  and  Justice 
Frankfurter  is  still  serving  actively 
on  the  bench.  There  have  also  been 
unofficial  reports  that  Justice 
Frankfurter  has  substantially  cur- 
tailed his  activities  both  in  public 
life  and  on  the  Court. 

We  were  therefore  happy  to  have 
the  opportunity  of  visiting  and 
talking  with  Justice  Frankfurter, 
together  with  the  Farband  delega- 
tion. The  presentation  of  the  Far- 
band  Award  took  place  in  Justice 
Frankfurter's  chambers  in  the 
Supreme  Court  Building  on  Thurs- 
day, June  25th  at  4  p.  m. 

Present  were  Louis  Segal,  Gener- 
al Secretary  of  the  Farband,  Harold 
Grubart,  Treasurer,  Sam  Berke, 
Chairman  of  the  Finance  and  In- 
vestment Committee,  Saul  Kies, 
member  of  the  General  Executive 


MURRAY  FRANK 

It  was  recently  my  pleasure  to 
be  present  at  a  most  interesting 
event  in  Washington,  D.  C.  I  am 
referring  to  the  presentation  of  the 
second  Annual  Farband  Labor 
Zionist  Order  Award  for  distin- 
guished public  service  to  Justice 
Felix  Frankfurter. 

Justice  Frankfurter  is  now  the 
only  Jew  on  the  high  bench  and 
he  is  also  the  only  Justice  who  is 
directly  descended  from  immigrant 
parents.  Moreover,  Justice  Frank- 
furter is  now  the  oldest  member 
of  the  Supreme  Court,  having 
reached  the  age  of  76  last  Novem- 
ber. He  was  appointed  to  the  high 
tribunal  by  President  Franklin 
Delano  Roosevelt  in  January,  1939, 
and  has  thus  completed  over  20 
years  of  service  on  the  Supreme 
Court.  Only  Justice  Hugo  Black

Committee  and  Samuel  Lapin, 
Assistant  Secretary.  The  delegation 
was  joined  also  by  Kopel  Wein- 
stein  and  David  Shoirif,  Chairman 
and  Secretary  respectively  of  the 
Farband  Council  in  Washington, 
D.  C.  The  present  writer  was  the 
only  representative  of  the  press. 

Justice  Frankfurter  approached 
each  member  of  the  delegation  in- 
dividually with  a  warm  handshake 
and  with  a  personal  greeting.  After 
a  brief  general  discussion,  we 
proceed  to  the  presentation  of  the 
Award. 

Louis  Segal  was  the  spokesman 
for  the  delegation.  Mr.  Segal  stated 
that  the  Farband  considered  it  an 
honor  to  present  the  second  An- 
nual Farband  Award  to  Justice 
Frankfurter  in  the  name  of  the 
36,000  members  of  the  organization 
and  their  families. 

"We  of  the  Farband,"  Mr.  Segal 
declared,  "have  always  believed  that 
loyalty  to  the  Jewish  people  does 
not  detract  from  our  role  as  Ameri- 
cans. On  the  contrary,  we  have 
always  felt  that  the  Jew  who  is 
devoted  to  the  traditions  of  his 
people  and  to  its  aspirations  en- 
hances his  contribution  to  Ameri- 
ca as  a  whole." 

All  eyes  were  turned  to  Justice 
Frankfurter.  He  listened  intently 
to  Mr.  Segal's  remarks  and  was 
visibly  in  agreement  with  Mr. 
Segal's  statement  regarding  the 
Jewish  role  as  Americans.  Mr.  Segal 
then  pointed  out  that  "the  truth 


of  this  principle  is  exemplified  by 
the  life  of  Felix  Frankfurter.  The 
Jewish  people,"  he  concluded,  "is 
proud  that  Felix  Frankfurter,  to- 
gether with  Justice  Louis  D. 
Brandeis  and  others,  was  one  of 
the  pioneers  of  the  Zionist  move- 
ment in  the  United  States  and 
helped  pave  the  way  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  State  of  Israel.  As 
a  Jewish  organization  rooted  in 
American  life,  we  have  long  ad- 
mired Justice  Frankfurter  as  an 
American,  as  a  Jew,  and  as  a  great 
judge." 

Mr.  Segal  then  gave  Justice 
Frankfurter  a  bronze  plaque  with 
the  following  inscription: 

"Farband  Labor  Zionist  Order 
Award  presented  to  Justice  Felix 
Frankfurter  who  embodies  the 
highest  democratic  ideals  of  the 
American  and  Jewish  traditions: 
who  exemplifies  the  Jewish  unity 
of  law  and  ethics:  and  combines, 
in  his  outstanding  service  as  a 
justice  of  the  United  States  Su- 
preme Court,  rare  humanitarian- 
ism  with  profound  legal  erudition." 

As  Mr.  Segal  began  to  read  the 
citation  on  the  plaque,  Justice 
Frankfurter  rose.  It  was  evident 
that  he  was  deeply  moved  by  the 
Award.  There  was  silence  for  a 
moment  while  the  delegation  waited 
eagerly  for  Justice  Frankfurter's 
response.  During  the  interval,  we 
observed  the  famous  jurist.  Short 
of  stature  but  agile  and  active,  it

C.  C.  Vaughan,  Sr. 

The  growth  ol  an  industry,  a 
business,  or  a  financial  institution 
is  always  a  fascinating  evidence  of 
the  opportunities  that  exist  under 
our  democratic  way  of  life.  The  re- 
ward is  awaiting  those  who  have 
the  foresight  and  the  energy  to  ap- 
ply sound  business  principles. 

Franklin,  Virginia  has  such  an 
institution  in  Vaughan  &  Co., 
Bankers. 

Vaughan  and  Company,  Bankers, 
of  Franklin,  today  has  about  $10,- 
000,000  assets  and  a  brand  new 
home.  It  was  not  always  so.  When 
it  opened  for  business  in  1886  its 
assets  were  $20,000. 

The  new  building  on  Franklin's 
Main  Street  welcomed  the  public 
for  business  for  the  first  time  May 
25th. 

Included  in  the  new  building  is 
8,250  square  feet  of  floor  space 
upstairs  and  3,250  in  the  basement. 
This  compares  with  1,800  square 
feet  in  the  old  building  at  100 
North  Main  Street. 

The  new  building  is  designed  so 


C.  C.  Vaughan,  Jr. 

a  second  floor  can  be  easily  added 
should  it  become  necessary.  Plenty 
of  free  parking  space,  a  drive-in 
tellers'  window  and  a  night  depos- 
itory are  features  of  the  new  bank. 

The  outside  walls  of  white  Geor- 
gia marble  and  the  inside  walls  of 
walnut  panelling  are  indicative  of 
some  of  the  best  of  modern  bank- 
ing architecture. 

Hi-Fi  music  plays  over  amplifi- 
ers in  the  daytime  hours  and  the 
employees  have  a  special  lounge 
of  their  own  at  their  convenience. 

C.  C.  Vaughan  III  is  president 
of  Vaughan  and  Company,  Bank- 
ers. His  grandfather,  C.  C.  Vaugh- 
an, started  the  bank  in  1886  from 
the  original  Bank  of  Franklin,  or- 
ganized in  1882  with  Vaughan  as 
one  of  its  directors.  He  was  presi- 
dent until  1924,  when  his  son,  Gen- 
eral C.  C.  Vaughan,  Jr.,  took  over 
al  his  death.  C.  C.  Vaughan,  III 
became  president  in  1929  when  the 
General,  his  father,  died. 

Clifford  A.  Cutchins  III,  a  great- 
grandson  of  the  bank's  founder,  is 
now  vice-president  and  cashier.

Zalman  Schneour 

Poet  of  a  Great  Epoch 

By  Itzhak  Ivry 


Literary  historians  of  the  He- 
brew renaissance  period  have 
classified  Zalman  Schneour  as  one 
of  the  Big  Three  in  Hebrew 
poetry,  together  with  Bialik  and 
Tchernichovsky.  Although  the 
three  poets  were  basically  different 
in  talents,  inclinations  and  creative 
patterns,  it  may  rightly  be  said 
that  since  Bialik's  and  Tcher- 
nichovsky's  demise.  Schneour  felt 
like  the  last  Mohican.  A  poet  with 
a  g  eat  sense  of  pride,  he  felt 
lonely  when  his  greatest  competi- 
tors left  the  stage. 

In  moments  of  quiet  reflection 
the  poet  must  have  said:  Give 
me  back  the  bright  and  shining 
moments  of  Odessa,  Warsaw,  Vilno 
;;nd  Belli:.-:,  :  ;;t  because  he  Yearned 
for  these  strange  and  desolate 
towns  whose  Jewish  population 
has  since  been  decimated  and  their 
cultural  monuments  destroyed,  but 
because  these  moments  meant  a 
period  of  ascendency,  a  period  of 


novel  and  memorable  creativity, 
not  only  for  him  but  also  for  his 
close  friends.  One  of  them  was 
Bialik,  whom  Schneour  unreserved- 
ly admired.  It  was  Bialik  who  first 
declared  in  his  famous  essay  "Our 
Young  Poetry:"  "And  here  is 
Schneour,  a  young  Samson,  whose 
all  seven  braids  grew  over  night,  a 
young  lion.  .  ."  This  was  Bialik's 
immediate  reaction  to  Schneour's 
first  poems  of  youth,  and  this  re- 
mained very  dear  to  Schneour's 
heart. 

Schneour,  a  man  of  keen  psycho- 
logical insight,  knew  well  —  when 

he  reached  his  seventies  —  that  "a 
generation  comes,"  and  that  you 
cannot  blame  the  young  too  much 
for  considering  the  poets  and  artists 
of  the  older  generation  as  belong- 
ing to  the  past.  He,  the  poet  of 
youth,  of  'Sturm  und  Drang,'  of 
passion  and  hedonism:  he.  the  rev- 
olutionary   and    lighter,    the  ad- 


mirer of  the  titans  and  the  super- 
man, suddenly  found  himself  in 
his  old  days  somewhat  neglected 
and  glossed  over,  especially  by 
youthful  and  inconsiderate  critics 
who  thought  that  there  was  no 
better  way  to  be  revolutionary  than 
to  belittle  the  greats  of  the  near 
past.  In  the  last  years  of  his  life 
Schneour,  who  always  took  pride 
in  his  mental  and  physical  prowess, 
was  also  beset  by  ill  health.  But 
he  bore  his  sufferings  with  pride 
and  courage,  and  to  his  last  day 
he  never  bent  his  head  to  late.  He 
departed  from  this  world  at 
seventy-two-still  a  young  lion. 

He  was  born  at  Shklov,  Russia, 
in  1887,  in  a  family  of  'Habad' 
Hassidim  and  scholars.  In  his  auto- 
biographical memoirs,  "My  Begin- 
nings as  a  Writer,"  Schneour  re- 
calls that  at  the  age  of  seven  or 
eight  years  he  began  to  write  poems 
in  Hebrew  and  Yiddish.  He  wrote 
not  only  poetry  but  also  prose, 
fables  and  "thoughts."  He  was  four- 
teen years  old  when  he  left  home 
and  came  to  Odessa,  which  was 
then  a  center  of  Hebrew  and  Yid- 
dish renaissance  literature,  and 
where  such  young  poets  as  Bialik 
and    Schneour    came    under  the 


strong  influence  of  Mendele.  Two 
years  later  Schneour  left  for  an- 
other literary  center  of  these  days, 
Warsaw,  and  published  his  first 
1  lebrew  and  Yiddish  poems  in 
Olam  Katan  and  in  the  Viddishe 
f'olkszeitung.  For  a  while  he 
worked  lor  the  Tushia  Hebrew 
Publishing  House  and  later  he  be- 
came J.  L.  Peretz'  private  sec- 
retary,  and  also  participated  in 
David  Frischman's  Hador.  Schneour 
wrote  his  wonderful  poem  "Vilno" 
in  the  period  of  his  stay  in  this 
city  (1904-0(1). 

In  the  years  1906-07  his  first 
books  of  poems  appeared;  the  first 
was  "Children's  Poems"  and  the 
second  was  "At  Sunset."  The  poet- 
wanderer  Schneour  left  in  1906 
lor  Western  Europe.  First  he  went 
to  Switzerland,  where  he  began  his 
poem  "In  the  Mountains."  From 
there  lie  went  to  Paris,  where  he 
studied  the  natural  sciences,  phi- 
losophy and  literature  at  the  Sor- 
bonne  University.  In  1914  a  volume 
<>l  his  poems,  written  during  a 
period  of  fourteen  years,  was  pub- 
lished in  Odessa.  A  few  years  earlier 
he  had  published  some  of  his  short 
stories.

Our  People  In  Europe 

By  Jack  H.  Gordun 


Telephone  REgent  5-5431 


LINCOLNTON,  N.  C. 


About  two  miles  and  a  quarter 
east  of  Geneva  is  a  little  village 
called  Veyrier.  It  is  on  a  small  hill 
nestled  in  the  valley  on  the  Swiss- 
French  border,  and  customs  officials 
of  both  countries  patrol  it  con- 
stantly. 

You  can  reach  Veyrier  by  going 
to  the  large  cafe  in  the  square  in 
Geneva  and  taking  a  number  eight 
bus;  the  price  is  forty  centimes  or 
about  nine  and  one  half  cents. 

A  friend  of  ours  drove  my  wife 
and  me  to  the  Cafe  du  Mont-Saleve 
for  dinner  one  night.  It  is  on  the 
very  tip  of  Veyrier.  Though  it  was 
night,  the  moon  lit  up  the  entire 
area  and  we  could  see  clearly  for 
miles  about. 

"If  you  look  straight  ahead,"  my 
friend  pointed,  'you  can  see  the 
old  Jewish  cemetery  there  in 
France."  Several  markers  were 
plainly  visible  in  the  distance. 

"There  is  an  Interesting  story 
about  that,"  my  friend  continued. 
"That  graveyard  was  used  as  a  sort 
of  escape  hatch  during  the  war. 
So  many  Jews  and  political  enemies 
of  the  Nazis  hid  there  and,  at  night, 
when  the  moon  was  not  so  bright 
as  this  one,  they  would  run  through 
a  Nazi  cordon  stationed  here  as 
guards.  See  the  customs  officials 
there?  Well,  the  French  ones  along 
the  road  beyond  were  then  replaced 
by  machine-gunning  Nazis." 

He  took  a  deep  breath,  waiting 
for  all  this  to  sink  in,  before  he 
completed  his  story.  "You  know  the 
owner  of  Mont-Saleve  would  know 
something  about  it.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  underground  that  helped 
arrange  all  this." 

"What's  his  name?"  I  asked. 

"I  don't  know." 

After  we  entered,  my  friend  asked 
for  the  owner,  so  that  I  could  talk 
to  him  for  corroboration  of  his 
story  .  .  .  and  we  were  told  that 
he  was  expected  later. 

The  Mont-Saleve  turned  out  to 
be  a  mountain  restaurant  typical 


JACK  H.  GORDUN 

ol  those  we  had  read  about. 
Throughout  the  meal  we  were 
vaguely  troubled  by  the  fact  that 
something  seemed  to  be  missing. 
Just  as  we  were  finishing  our  cof- 
fee, a  man  walked  in  with  a  large 
St.  Bernard  dog.  The  picture  was 
complete. 

The  Swiss  dinner  had  been  deli- 
cious, but  the  owner  still  hadn't 
returned. 

I  returned  the  next  day  on  the 
number  eight  bus.  The  owner  was 
present,  but  he  said  in  French  and 
sign  language  that  he  could  speak 
no  English.  We  were  finally  able 
to  communicate  using  German 
(however  poorly  on  my  part)  as 
the  common  means  of  communica- 
tion. 

It  turned  out  that  he  had  been 
the  owner  of  the  cafe  for  just  nine 
years  and  was  not  connected  with 
any  heroic  rescues  at  all.  However, 
he  knew  something  of  the  previous 
owner  —  a  man  called  Arnold 
Schmidt  had  rescued  literally  hun- 
dreds of  Jews  from  the  hands  of 
the  Nazi  aggressor. 

I  asked  him  if  he  knew  why 
Schmidt  had  done  it.  Had  he  any 
affiliation  at  all  with  these  op- 
pressed people?

"Yes,  he  had  a  strong  relation- 
ship," the  man  told  me.  "He  had 
the  same  dignity  as  a  man.  But  if 
you  mean  to  ask  by  your  question 
whether  he  was  Jewish,  he  was  not. 
He  was  Swiss.  During  those  extra- 
ordinary years,  we  Swiss  would  not 
lose  our  souls.  There  are  many 
Arnold  Schmidts." 


"It  must  have  been  very  dan- 
gerous." 

"I  do  not  think  so.  The  Nazis 
were  incredibly  stupid  —  or  per- 
haps, they  had  no  soul  and  that's 
what  made  them  seem  stupid." 
When  I  returned  to  Geneva,  I 
could  not  locate  Mr.  Schmidt.  He 
had  been  swallowed  up  in  the  past. 


Where  A  Synagogue  Used  To  Be 


By  Trude  Dub 


Last  year,  I  those  Austria  for 
my  holiday.  I  had  a  tremendous 
yearning  to  re-visit  the  continent 
after  nearly  20  years  of  exile,  but 
did  not  ever  again  wish  to  see 
my  native  Czechoslovakia,  where 
my  entire  family  perished. 

Austria  then  became  my  choice. 
It  is  only  next  door  to  my  former 
homeland,  with  a  similar  scenery 
and  I  know  the  language  well; 
last,  but  not  least,  it  is  the  cheapest 
country  in  Europe. 

And  I  was  not  disappointed.  The 
pine  forests  were  just  as  fragrant 
as  in  my  youth,  the  mountains  with 
their  majestic  peaks  filled  me  with 
awe  and  the  sight  of  the  brooks, 
cascading  like  thin  ribbons  down 
wooded  slopes,  thrilled  me  beyond 
words.  I  was  happy  and  carefree 
as  in  the  days  of  my  childhood, 
when  we  had  holidays  such  as  these, 
every  year.  I  felt  a  tremendous 
sense  of  release.  All  the  memories 
I  did  not  dare  to  touch,  became 
liberated  all  of  a  sudden  and  I 
was  able  to  re-live  them  with  my 
children,  whilst  we  were  picking 
wild  strawberries,  bilberries  and 
mushrooms. 


But  towards  the  end  of  the  week 
1  grew  restless  and  felt  hungry  for 
Jewish  people.  At  the  little  guest- 
house in  the  mountain  village, 
where  we  stayed,  we  did  not  en 
counter  a  single  Jew.  And  so  on  a 
Saturday,  my  husband,  I  and  our 
two  young  daughters,  set  out  for 
Innsbruck,  where  we  hoped  to  find 
a  synagogue. 

Well,  how  do  you  set  about  find- 
ing a  synagogue? 

We  arrived  at  the  station  and  my 
first  idea  was  to  consult  the  tele- 
phone directory.  We  looked  under 
"Hebrew,"  we  looked  under  "Jue- 
dische,"  we  looked  under  "Israel- 
itische,"  then  finally  decided  to 
search  for  a  Cohen  or  a  Levi,  alas 
in  vain. 

Whilst  we  were  so  occupied,  a 
man  appeared  with  a  bundle  of 
keys  and  some  instruments  to  test 
the  telephone  apparatus.  He  asked 
if  he  could  help  us  and  we  told 
him  of  our  quest.  He  got  in  touch 
with  the  operator,  but  there  was 
no  number  or  address  of  a  Jewish 
community  or  any  similar  organiza- 
tion. The  man  told  us  in  parting,

ATLANTA  MERCHANDISE  MART 
Atlanta,  Ga- 


that  there  used  to  be  a  synagogue 
in  the  Silzgasse,  but  it  was  destroyed. 

We  were  undismayed.  We  felt, 
there  must  be  some  Jews  left  in 
Innsbruck  and  we  were  going  to 
find  them.  But  how?  Of  course,  how 
silly  of  us,  why  did  we  not  think 
of  this  in  the  first  place?  The  police 
was  the  obvious  answer. 

My  husband  entered  the  grey, 
forbidding  building  and  was  gone 
for  some  time.  The  girls  grew  rest- 
less, but  I  thought  his  long  absence 
promising.  They  must  be  explain 
ing  to  him  where  the  new  syna- 
gogue is,  I  hoped. 

When  my  husband  reappeared, 
1  could  tell  from  the  look  on  his 
lace,  that  he  drew  a  blank,  but 
we  were  determined,  not  to  give 
up  so  easily. 

Then  my  husband  had  an  idea. 
I  le  slopped  a  taxi  driver  and  asked 
him  if  he  knew  of  a  Jew  in  Inns- 
bruck, or  the  synagogue.  The  man 
said:  "I  don't  know  of  a  synagogue 
since  the  old  one  was  destroyed, 
but  I  do  know  a  Jew.  Go  to  Sch., 
that  is  a  Jewish  firm,  he  will  be 
able  to  tell  you  all  you  want." 

So  with  great  excitement  we 
made  our  way  to  the  elegant  shop 
in  the  main  street  and  whilst  my 
husband  went  to  find  Mr.  Sch.,  I 
stood  outside  and  read  framed  cut- 
tings of  newspapers  from  the  time 
during  and  after  Hitler,  concerning 
the  takeover  of  the  business  by  the 
Nazis  and  the  subsequent  struggle 
lor  its  return  to  the  rightful  heirs 
The  captions  above  these  cuttings 
read:  "The  story  of  a  Jewish 
business." 

I  rejoiced.  Here  at  last  was  a 
real,  a  genuine  Jew  .  .  .  What  a 
pity,  he  wasn't  there,  that  Saturday 
morning.  His  employee  advised  my 
husband  to  visit  Mr.  B.,  another 
Jew,  who  owned  a  ^furniture  shop 
not  far  away. 


And  so  we  went  after  Mr.  B. 

We  found  his  shop  easily  enough. 
The  elegant  shopwindows  were  full 
of  expensive  furniture,  all  in  very 
good  taste,  both  the  traditional 
and  the  contemporary.  We  entered 
and  asked  for  Mr.  B. 

Oh,  what  joy:  He  was  actually  in 
and  all  we  had  to  do  was  to  wait 
a  few  minutes,  whilst  he  attended 
to  a  client  in  his  office. 

In  my  mind  I  formulated  all 
the  questions  I  was  going  to  ask. 
"How  many  Jews  are  there  in  Inns- 
bruck? How  have  they  survived  the 
Hitler  regime?  Are  they  Zionists? 
Are  they  in  touch  with  their 
brethren  in  Israel,  etc.  etc.?" 

At  last  Mr.  B.  appeared.  An  im- 
maculately dressed  tall,  middle-aged 
man,  whose  person  and  whole  bear- 
ing resembled  more  a  German  of- 
ficer than  a  Jew.  He  was  oh  so 
correct,  as  he  politely  inquired  after 
our  wishes. 

My  husband  said:  I  am  Dr.  Dub 
from  England  and  this  is  my  family. 
We  would  like  to  attend  a  Jewish 
service  and  wondered,  if  you  could 
help  us." 

The  man  stiffened  a  little. 
"There  is  no  Jewish  service  on 
Saturdays,"  he  answered.  And  we 
felt  as  if  we  had  inquired  after  a 
piece  of  furniture  that  was  no  long-

If  in  fashion  "We  only  meet  on 
High  Festivals." 

And  that  was  that.  Somehow,  and 
to  this  day  I  do  not  know  how, 
we  found  ourselves  near  the  door, 
which  Mr.  B.  opened  for  us  and 
bowed  ever  so  politely,  as  he  usher- 
ed us  out. 

Of  course,  I  never  had  a  chance 
to  ask  my  questions,  but  I  was  no 
longer  interested  in  Mr.  B.  or  his 
fellow  congregants. 

The  children  thought  the  scene 
very  funny  and  mimicked  Mr.  B 
and  his  oh-so-  correct  manner,  but 
I  could  not  laugh  with  them. 

Where  was  the  proverbial  Jewish 
warmth  and  the  feeling  of  brother- 
hood between  Jew  and  Jew? 

Mr.  B.  and  ourselves  were  miles 
ajiart,  although  it  was  only  a  pane 
of  glass  that  divided  us  physically 
now.  Obviously,  Mr.  B.  held  no 
curiosity  for  Jews  in  other  lands. 

So  such  was  the  remnant  of 
Austrian  Jewry.  And  what  of  their 
children?  Without  a  religious  life 
and  relgious  education,  they  will 
very  likely  carry  things  to  the  log-

1  he  University  authorities  went 
to  a  great  deal  of  trouble  (and  no 
doubt  expense)  to  set  up  the 
framework  lor  a  spiritual  center 
which  they  thought  would  be  or-

ly modern  to  appeal  to  their 
strong-willed  and  independent 
charges. 

But  the  students,  like  bees  that 
inexplicably  turn  their  backs  on 
a  nice  new,  manufactured  hive, 
have  swarmed  in  a  spot  more  con- 
genial to  their  own  natures.  With 
the  young  Israel's  instinctive  dis- 
like for  over-sophistication  or 
anything  smacking  of  the  artifi- 
cial, they  have  chosen  instead  the 
quiet,  functional  Philip  Klutznick 
Auditorium  at  Hillel  House  to 
serve  as  their  place  of  prayer. 


It  is  just  over  a  year  since  a 
student  chapel  was  tentatively 
established  at  Hillel  House.  Initia- 
tors were  the  "Yavneh"  group, 
the  religious  students  organization 
of  the  Hebrew  University,  which 
is  one  of  the  most  active  on  the 
campus.  They  intended  to  hold 
Friday  and  Saturday  morning  ser- 
vices for  themselves,  and,  as  a 
daring  experiment,  for  the  High 
Holidays  were  close  at  hand,  to 
conduct  their  own  Rosh  Hashon- 
ah  Services  as  well. 

Today  these  services  have  be- 
come a  permanent  feature  of  stu- 
dent life,  and  the  largest  single 
activity  centered  on  Hillel  House. 
Between  200-300  students  attend 
on  Friday  evenings  and  Saturday 
mornings.  On  High  Holiday  rath- 
er less,  for  2/3  of  the  student  body 
comes  from  outside  Jerusalem, 
and  return  to  their  places  of  resi- 
dence during  the  University  holi- 
days. But  their  absence  is  com- 
pensated by  outsiders,  for  the  ser- 
vices have  become  a  pleasant  fea- 
ture of  Jerusalem  life  as  well. 
"The  Yavneh  services  lift  the 
heart,  and  somehow  unite  stransr- 
ers  in  a  common  aim,"  the  phi- 
losopher, Prof.  Sholom  Bergman, 
professor  emeritus  of  the  Hebrew 
University  wrote  recently. 

My  husband,  my  two  little  boys 
and  I  happened  to  be  in  on  the 
initial  Rosh  Hashonah  services, 
for  we  had  newly  arrived  in  Jeru- 
salem where  my  husband  was  tak-

ing  up  a  post  with  the  Hebrew 
University.  Without  any  formal- 
ity, payment,  or  preliminary  ar- 
rangement, we  simply  walked  in, 
and  sat  down  wherever  there  were 
vacant  chairs. 

The  congregation  consisted  al- 
most entirely  of  young  people  be- 
tween the  ages  of  18  and  28.  Half 
of  them  were  girls.  Like  most  of 
the  girls  in  Israel,  they  were 
pretty  and  !resh  in  spite  ol  their 
lack  of  make-up  and  the  simplicity 
of  their  clothes.  The  chapel  is  an 
orthodox  one,  so  they  sat  in  the 
rows  reserved  for  women,  and 
were  "'called  up,"  but  otherwise 
they  participated  in  the  prayers 
and  singing  as  actively  as  the  men. 

In  that  almost  austere  auditori- 
um at  Hillel  House,  my  husband 
found  what  he  had  been  looking 
for  ever  since  we  emigrated  to 
Israel  ten  years  before.  An  authen- 
tic Israeli  service.  All  who  attend- 
ed did  so  because  they  wanted  to 
pray.  There  was  no  talking.  Every- 
one was  absorbed  in  their  prayers,

in  the  singing,  the  language  a 
fresh,  living  language,  the  songs 
meaningful  and  lovely. 

Their  students  conducted  the 
services  themselves,  under  the 
leadership  of  one  of  their  num- 
ber, a  voting  Israeli  who  was  pre- 
paring for  his  doctorate  in  Jewish 
studies.  Although  the  atmosphere 
was  easy  and  informal,  for  they  all 
knew  each  other,  their  approach 
was  dignified  and  serious. 

The  Yavneh  has  a  membership 
of  600.  That  is,  15%  of  the  student 
body  of  the  Hebrew  University 
finds  its  social  and  cultural  ac- 
tivities within  the  framework  of 
this  religious  students  organiza- 
tion. According  to  Rabbi  Bernard 
Casper,  Dean  of  Students,  there 
are  manv  more  students  who  are 
observing,  but  are  not  members 
of  Yavneh,  an  organization  dedi- 
cated to  a  better  understanding 
and  application  of  Jewish  values.

Why  Did  0.  Henry  Become 
0.  Henry? 

Extension  of  Remarks  of  HON.  WRIGHT  PATMAN  of  Texas, 
in  the  House  of  Representatives,  Tuesday,  January  27,  1959. 

Mr.  Patman:  Mr.  Speaker,  it  has 
been  observed  before  that  great 
legal  minds  frequently  take  up 
hobbies  of  literary  detective  work, 
and  the  result  is  usually  entertain- 
ing as  well  as  instructive.  I  suppose 
this  is  because  lawyers  in  general, 
and  particularly  those  who  have 
risen  to  the  top  of  their  profession, 
have  cultivated  a  talent  for  ob- 
serving significant  details  and  solv- 
ing the  riddles  of  human  motiva- 
tion, all  from  the  written  word. 

I  believe  the  Members  may  be 
interested  and  amused  by  a  highly 
original  conclusion  that  Mr.  Jos- 
eph Borkin  has  reached  as  a  result 
of  his  literary  detective  work  on 
the  question  of  why  William  Sid- 
ney Porter  chose  the  pen  name  O. 
Henry.  Accordingly,  I  am  inserting 
a  clipping  from  the  Boston  Daily 
Globe  of  January  1,  1959,  which 
sets  out  Mr.  Borkin's  analysis. 

Perhaps  I  should  add  that  Mr. 
Borkin  has  engaged  in  literary 
detective  work  of  a  more  serious 
nature.  In  the  early  years  of 
World  War  II  Mr.  Bork  in  was 
Chief  of  the  Patent  and  Cartel 
Section  of  the  Department  of  Jus- 
tice, an  experience  which  led  to 


JOSEPH  BORKIN 

motive  lor  its  choice  have  baffled 
students  of  literature  lor  over 
half  a  century.  Why  did  William 
Sidney  Porter  employ  this  alia->? 
Was  it  more  than  a  random 
choice?  The  solution  presented 
here  was  of  the  quality  that  follows 
the  traditional  formula  for  an 
O.  Henrv  storv. 


one  of  his  more  famous  writings, 
"Gemany's  Master  Plan,"  which 
he  co-authored  with  Charles  A. 
Welsh  in  1943. 

My  own  interest  in  Mr.  Borkin 
was  first  aroused  on  reading  his 
article  on  "Impeachment"  in  the 
Encyclopedia  Britannica  and  on 
learning  that  he  had,  as  a  hobby, 
become  the  top  authority  on  this 
subject. 

The  clipping  from  the  Boston 
Daily  Globe  is  as  follows:

The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


To  take  his  readers  by  surprise 
in  constructing  plausibility  out  of 
absurdity  and  contradiction  was 
in  the  essence  of  his  literary  charac- 
ter. We  should  not  be  astonished, 
therefore,  if  the  alias  O.  Henry 
betrays  what  it  was  designed  to 
hide. 

The  explanation  by  Porter  that 
ihe  sur  name  Henry  was  chosen 
at  random,  plucked  from  the  so- 
ciety columns  of  a  New  Orleans 
newspaper,  while  the  "O."  was 
added  as  the  easiest  letter  to  write, 
has  a  tongue-in-cheek  quality. 

A  theory  accepted  by  many  crit- 
ics and  biographers  is  that  the 
name  was  that  of  a  guard,  Orrin 
Henry,  who  was  employed  years 
earlier  at  the  Ohio  Penitentiary. 
It  is  surmised  that  Porter,  while 
a  convict,  saw  the  name  on  some 
•  prison  records  and  adopted  it. 

In  another  version,  Henry  was 
the  name  of  a  bar-tender  in  a  tav- 
ern frequented  by  Porter,  who 
would  indicate  his  thirst  by  call- 
ing, "Oh,  Henry!" 

Less  plausible  is  the  version  that 
O.  Henry  was  derived  from  an  old 
ballard  of  Kentucky  hills  and  may- 
have  been  a  favorite  song  of  Por- 
ter's. 

These  accounts  are  two-dimen- 
sional, and  none  is  in  the  tradition 
or  character  of  O.  Henry.  This  is 
apparently  what  led  Stephen  Lea- 
cock  to  remark  that  the  choice  ol 
pseudonym    lacked    aptness  and

must  have  been  picked  in  a  mo- 
ment of  whimsy. 

Examine  the  portrait  of  Wil- 
liam Sidney  Porter. 

He  had  the  soul  of  a  poet,  the 
weakness  of  an  alcoholic,  and  the 
job  of  a  bank  clerk.  He  was  in- 
dicted in  Austin,  Texas  under  the 
Federal  Banking  Act  for  embezzl- 
ing funds  from  the  bank  in  which 
he  worked. 

He  stood  mute  at  his  trial,  un- 
willing to  help  his  attorneys  or 
himself. 

His  bored  and  disinterested 
manner  at  the  trial  helped  as- 
sure the  verdict  of  guilty  by  the 
jury.  An  eyewitness  who  saw  him 
off  to  prison  recalled  that  he  ap- 
peared to  have  welcomed  his  con- 
\  ic  tion.  Many  experts  today  are 
convinced  of  Porter's  innocence, 
however. 

Sentenced  to  5  years'  imprison- 
ment in  the  Ohio  Penitentiary, 
which  at  that  time  had  a  sub- 
leasing arrangement  with  the  Fed- 
eral Government,  he  actually 
served  3  years,  from  1896  to  1899. 

In  prison  he  utilized  his  talents 
as  a  writer  and  story-teller,  send- 
ing his  literary  products  to  pub- 
lishers via  an  intermediary,  the 
relative  of  a  fellow  prisoner.  It  is 
to  these  stories  written  in  prison 
that  Porter  first  attached  the  pseu- 
donym, O.  Henry,  indicating  no 
first  name.  With  these  devices  he 
was  able  to  disguise  his  place  of 
residence  as  well  as  his  identity 
as  the  convicted  embezzler,  Wil- 
liam Sidney  Porter. 

Writers  use  pseudonyms  to 
mask  authorship  while  criminals 
use  them  to  conceal  their  past 
records.  Although  O.  Henry  iits 
both  categories,  his  pseudonym 
does  not  appear  to  have  been 
designed  to  conceal  the  writer  but 
lather  to  hide  the  identity  of  the 
convict.  This  distinction,  I  believe, 
is  the  answer  to  the  riddle  of  O. 
Ffenry. 

A  police  department  could  not

First  Love 

(Continued  from  Page  13) 


Yet,  when  the  Blue  Jays  decided 
on  the  Van  Courtland  Park  picnic. 
Becky  slowed  down  long  enough 
to  ask  me  to  be  her  partner,  and 
I  accepted  most  willingly. 

It  was  at  Van  Courtland  that 
I  got  my  first  case  of  poison  ivy 
that  gave  me  the  miseries  for  a 
week,  missing  school  at  night  and 
work  by  day,  and  I'll  never  forget 
someone  saying,  "Once  you  get  it, 
it  comes  back  every  seven  years." 
I  thought  whoever  it  was,  was  nuts, 
that  he  was  thinking  of  breaking 
a  mirror  and  the  hard  luck  that 
is  supposed  to  follow  him  for  seven 
years.  But  whoever  said  it  was  right 
for  fourteen  years,  and  from  that 
picnic  on  I've  never  stooped  to 
pick  another  flower  no  matter  how 
enticing  or  imbued  I  may  be  with 
its  beauty. 

Regardless  of  the  itch  and  misery 
that  followed,  and  to  get  back  to 
the  Van  Courtland  Park  picnic,  I 
rented  a  boat  for  an  hour  so  that 
I  could  have  a  little  privacy  with 
Becky.  She  thought  it  was  a  good 
idea  so  we  could  talk  by  ourselves 
while  the  others  did  whatever  they 
wished  collectively  or  individually. 

Mid-lake  I  asked  Becky,  "What 
do  you  want  most  in  life?" 

It  was  not  a  casual  question.  I 
had  been  thinking  about  this  for 
a  long  time  and  I  was  anxious  to 
hear  what  she'd  say. 

Apparently  she  had  given  the 
question  a  lot  of  thought  before  I 
registered  it,  and  she  lost  no  time 
answering.  "I'd  like  a  hundred 
children  all  my  own,  to  guide  and 
do  with  them  as  I  please,  to  educate 


them  to  educate  others  on  the  fine 
things  in  life." 

Flabbergasted,  I  said,  "You  want 
to  raise  100  children?" 

"Why  not?  It's  not  difficult  once 
you  set  your  mind  to  it." 

"But  a  hundred  kids?  That's  at 
least  a  hundred  years  " 

"Oh,"  she  cut  me  short,  "I  didn't 
mean  my  own;  I  had  in  mind  a 
hundred  of  the  most  unfortunate, 
deprived  children  who  are  anxious 
and  willing  to  learn,  be  good  citi- 
zens and  want  to  devour  the  culture 
and  education  denied  them;  that 
they  in  turn  will  each  want  to 
select  a  hundred  children  and  im- 
plant the  same  ideals  so  that  we 
can  live  in  a  better  community, 
city  and  state." 

"Is  this  what  you've  been  study- 
ing?" 

"Day  and  night,  David.  Here  and 
there  I  take  time  off  for  recreation 
which  is  a  much  needed  vitamin 
for  the  mind  and  body.  And  you, 
David,  what  is  your  ambition,  now 
that  I've  told  you  mine?" 

I  didn't  know  whether  to  answer 
her  or  not,  it  was  so  ridiculous  by 
comparison.  Well,  outside  of  get- 
ting married  and  happily  raising  a 
family,  I  said,  "I'd  like  to  play 
trumpet  solo  in  a  Philharmonic 
Orchestra,  maybe  in  Carnegie  Hall 
or  with  some  other  renowned 
symphony." 

She  was  not  aware  of  my  studying 
the  cornet  which  I  intended  to 
trade  in  for  a  trumpet  as  I  advanced 
with  my  lessons. 

"That's  quite  an  ambitious  goal, 
David,  and  I  wish  you  a  lot  of

luck.  It  takes  many  years  before  . ." 
as  if  I  didn't  know  the  pains  and 

work  that  had  to  go  into  my  ambi- 
tion before  it  could  become  a  real- 
ity. 

Shortly  after,  Becky  and  her  fam- 
ily moved  to  the  Bronx  which  then 
was  regarded  as  one  of  the  better 
sections  to  live  in. 

That  morning,  when  the  moving 
men  were  hoisting  her  piano  out  of 
her  window,  Becky  was  downstairs 
waiting  for  me.  She  wanted  to  say 
goodbye. 

"It's  been  wonderful  knowing 
you,  David,"  she  said.  "We're  get- 
ting a  telephone  in  our  new  apart- 
ment in  the  Hunts  Point  section. 
Please  call  me  and  let  me  know  how 
you  and  your  mother  are  getting 
along  from  time  to  time." 

I  said  I  would,  shook  hands  with 
her,  and  was  on  my  way  to  the 
office  where  I  worked  in  Times 
Square.  I  thought  of  her  all  the 
way  downtown  on  the  Lexington 
Avenue  local,  on  the  shuttle  and 
the  walk  from  the  subway  to  the 
building  office  where  I  was  era- 
ployed. 

"Yes,"  I  repeated  several  times 
on  the  trip.  "I'll  call  you  once  in  a 
while,  maybe  even  get  to  see 
and  date  you." 

That  night,  when  I  returned 
home,  Ma  noticed  a  change  in  me. 
She  said,  "Are  you  sick?  Don't  you 
feel  well?  You  look  pale  as  paint." 

I  turned  away,  as  I  spoke  to  her, 
and  said,  "I'm  all  right.  I  have  a 
burning  headache,  but  it's  nothing 
to  worry  about." 

It  was  then  that  I  knew  this  burn- 
ing was  a  sign  that  I  was  in  love 


with  Becky  and  there  was  no  doubt 
l hat  I'd  be  missing  her.  There  were 
many  times  I  could  glance  out  the 
window  and  see  her  in  the  street, 
either  chatting  with  the  girls  or 
neighbors  without  her  noticing  me. 
This  was  all  gone  now.  The  picnics 
and  outings,  too. 

Several  weeks  later  I  called  Becky 
on  the  telephone  to  invite  her  to 
an  affair  Ma's  society  was  holding 
to  raise  funds.  It  was  an  annual 
event  that  took  place  in  a  lower 
Manhattan  hall  and  I  was  anxious 
for  Becky  to  be  my  date.  Ma 
thought  it  was  a  thoughtful  gesture 
when  I  told  her  who  I  had  in  mind 
taking  with  me.  She  felt  also  that 
I  his  would  give  her  an  opportunity 
to  keep  abreast  with  all  that  was 
new  with  the  Kornblooms,  her  for- 
mer neighbors  and  friends. 

On  the  first  call,  Becky's  mother 
said  her  daughter  wasn't  home  and 
I  let  it  go  at  that,  knowing  how- 
stud  ions  she  was  and  where  she

What  The  Shofar  Says 

By  Rabbi  Samuel  M.  Silver 


Is  the  shofar  a  musical  instru- 
ment? 

The  trumpet-like  object,  the 
ritual  item  identified  with  the  High 
Holyda  ys,  is  becoming  as  well 
known  to  the  general  public  as 
the  melody  of  Kol  Nidre. 

One  will  often  see  the  shofar 
on  TV  programs.  More  and  more 
non-Jews  also  see  it  on  display  in 
visits  to  synagogues. 

Invariably,  a  look  at  the  shofar 
elicits  a  battery  of  questions. 

If  the  shofar  is  to  be  labelled 
a  musical  instrument,  we  will  have 
to  agree  that  the  sound  it  produces 
is  both  limited  and  eerie. 

Another  shofar  "note"  is  the 
faci  that  it  has  been  the  target 
of  many  folklorisitc  stories  heavily 
tinged  with  superstition.  Any  old- 
timer  can  reel  off  a  series  of  stories 
about  the  difficulties  that  people 
have  had  in  blowing  the  shofar 
and  attributing  these  difficulties 
to  the  work  of  Satan. 

It  is  time  for  the  shofar  to  be 
liberated  from  these  diabolical 
fancies  and  also  the  widespread 
misunderstanding  about  its  signifi- 
cance. 

Once  we  clear  the  ram's  horn 
from  these  agglutinated  anecdotes 
we  discover  that  there  is  a  host 
of  worthy  reflections  which  we  can 
entertain  when  we  sit  in  shul  on 
the  High  Holydays  and  hear  the 
sound  of  the  shofar. 

First,  its  tone  is  deliberately  eerie, 
lor  one  function  of  the  shofar  is 
to  jar  us  out  of  our  moral  sloth- 


fulness  —  to  awaken  within  us  a 
realization  of  the  need  to  improve. 

Second,  the  difficulty  in  making 
the  shofar  produce  its  blasts  is 
also  instructive.  It  dramatizes  the 
fact  that  correcting  bad  habits  does 
not  come  easy.  There  are  faiths  in 
which  the  worshipper  is  promised 
automatic  salvation  through  a 
quick  formula.  Not  so  in  Judaism, 
which  declares  that  man  has  been 
granted  the  power  to  rise  morally, 
but  he  must  work  on  it,  must 
strive  mightily  to  achieve  it,  as 
one  strains  to  sound  the  shofar. 

Thirdly,  the  shofar  is  a  reminder 
of  Judaism's  abhorrence  of  human 
sacrifice.  The  story  of  Abraham's 
near-sacrific  of  Isaac  ends  with  the 
substitution  of  a  ram  in  place  of 
the  boy.  This  story  is  read  on  the 
High  Holydays  to  emphasize  the 
repugnance  which  sensitive  men 
must  feel  towards  carnage  and 
violence.  When  you  hear  the  shofar 
let  it  be  as  a  cry  in  your  ears 
against  any  tendency  on  your  part 
to  cause  a  fellow-man  any  kind  of 
sorrow  or  suffering. 

Fourthly,  the  very  sounds  of  the 
shofar  tell  their  story.  The  smooth- 
ness of  the  tekiah  may  symbolize 
the  innocence,  the  ethical  smooth- 
ness which  was  yours  at  birth,  for 
Judaism  adheres  to  a  belief  in 
Original  Goodness.  The  more 
"ruffled"  sounds  of  the  truah  and 
Shvorim  represent  the  roughness 
which  comes  to  our  spirit  during 
the  course  of  life.  The  reprise  of 
the  tekiah  is  the  shofar 's  way  of

telling  us  that  you  can  restore  the 
original  smoothness  of  your  soul- 
despite  its  scarred  and  marred  con- 
dition if  only  you  make  an  effort 
to  recapture  your  ideals  and  trans- 
late them  into  action. 

Many  more  legitimate  and  valid 
lessons  can  be  learned  from  the 
shofar.  There  is  no  need  then  for 
the  cargo  of  superstition  which 
has  surrounded  this  unique  instru- 
ment which  we  know  as  the  call 


to  conscience.  Listen  carefully  to 
the  shofar  on  Rosh  Hashonah;  be 
especially  attentive  to  it  at  the 
close  of  the  Yom  Kippur  service. 
It  speaks  to  you;  it  says,  in  effect, 
"I  toll  for  you  and  the  promise  of 
spiritual  improvement.  Hearken  to 
my  voice  and  make  of  the  year 
5720  a  good  one  for  you  and  all 
those  you  love,  and  may  those  you 
love  include  all  the  children  of 
men  throughout  the  world."

Time  And  Judgement 

By  Ben  Nathan 


The  primary  theme  of  the  New 
Year  is  Time.  The  secondary 
theme  is  Judgement. 

At  the  conclusion  of  a  major 
act  or  era  Time  and  Judgement 
coincide.  Such  a  juncture  is  al- 
ways one  in  which  disaster  is 
omnipresent.  It  is  also  a  juncture 
in  which  the  possibility  of  miracle 
is  also  omnipresent.  At  this  junc- 
ture, ours,  only  a  miracle  will 
suffice,  and  in  this  sense  ours  is  a 
holy  time  if  only  in  virtue  of  its 
necessity  to  draw  forth  holy 
powers.  Only  these  can  preserve 
it,  or  mitigate  its  agony. 

There  is,  alter  all,  the  possibil- 
ity that  the  archangels  will  render 
themselves  visible  at  their  stations 
on  the  four  corners  of  the  earth, 
or  that  one  of  the  celestial  hosts 
will  decimate  earthly  dominions 
via  the  vehicle  of  fire.  Each  nu- 


clear explosion  may  represent  the 
opening  of  just  one  more  latch 
in  the  gate  of  that  fiery  entrance. 

It  is  not,  however,  this  order  of 
miracle,  although  wondrous,  that 
our  time  is  prepared  for,  or  quite 
requires.  The  miracle  required 
must  stem  from  a  more  immediate, 
more  blunt  source,  as  must  its 
logic,  and  therefore  its  inevitabil- 
ity. Its  necessity  must  be  openly, 
and  in  this  instance  universally 
acknowledged.  That  necessity  can- 
not be  clouded  by  any  reasoning 
not  in  keeping  with  plain  every- 
day modalities,  open  to  all,  even 
to  children.  II  it  is  to  occur,  as  if 
must,  that  occurring  must  hold  no 
mysteries.  But  neither  can  it  there- 
fore hold  alternatives. 

The  inevitability  of  its  coming 
is  made  evident  by  the  nature  of 
the  basic  question— the  probabil-

June  16,  1959 


Dear  Mr.  Brown: 

On  behalf  of  the  North  Carolina  Association  of  Jewish  Youth  may  I 
extend  heartiest  congratulations  on  the  celebration  of  twenty-five  years 
of  publishing  a  most  informative  periodical  for  the  Jewish  people  of 
North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Virginia,  and  Tennessee. 

The  American  Jewish  Times-Outlook  offers  a  very  necessary  link 
between  distant  members  of  our  Association.  We  not  only  find  the  home- 
town news  sections  to  our  satisfaction,  but  believe  that  your  editorials, 
plus  the  columns  of  Alfred  Segal  and  Harry  Simonhoff  and  other  special 
articles  offer  rich  cultural  reflections  into  our  Jewish  heritage. 

May  your  next  twenty-five  years  be  as  fruitful  as  your  past. 

Again,  our  congratulations. 

Sincerely, 

BARRY  GREENSPON

itv  of  hum, m  duration  now  that 
the  vehicles  of  extinction  are  so 
plentiful.  Said  more  coarsely:  Will 
the  bombs  fall  or  not?  Does  the 
human  element  continue  or  does 
it  (ease?  Are  there  five  years  left? 
Said  even  more  coarsely:  Is  our 
time  up?  Nobody  really  thipks 
about  anything  else,  and  each 
man's  composure  is  in  part  resolv- 
ed by  the  attitude  adopted  to  that 
possibility. 

The  villainy  of  it  all  is  that  the 
answer  to  these  questions  rest  in 
the  hands  that  they  seem  to  rest 
in.  The  villaim  ol  it  all  is  that 
the  apparant  power  to  determine 
continuation  or  cessation  of  human 
destiny  is  a  power  threatened  to 
be  exercised  on  the  basis  of  politi- 
cal controversy.  What  authority 
does  government  hold  to  render 
valid  its  participation  in  the  de- 
cision of  human  survival?  The 
ambitions  of  the  state  are  by  con- 
fession never  so  pure  as  to  justifi- 
ably grant  its  hierarchic  voice  in  a 
determnation  of  this  kind.  In  their 
most  elevated  aspects  neither  an 
Eisenhower  nor  a  Khruschev 
holds  that  juridical  dignity.  Moses 
himself  was  not  possessed  of  the 
capacitv  for  such  status.  How 
much  less  a  Nixon,  a  Mikoyan  or 
a  Ko/lov? 

But  the  miracle  of  it  all  will 
be  the  admission  by  these  men  of 
their  unfitness  to  determine  hu- 
man survival,  if  only  by  virtue 
of  the  very  intensity  of  their 
worldly  concerns.  The  potentates 
of  the  material  order,  obsessed  as 
they  are  with  military  potentials 
and  industrial  capacities,  do  not 
merit  seats  on  that  ultimate  jury. 
"Nature"  will  not  allow  it,  and 
is  not  allowing  it,  now,  even  now. 


It  may  in  fact  be  said  that  the 
chief  disturbance  gnawing  at  the 
bones  of  the  contending  Levia- 
thans is  the  now  barely  conscious 
suspicion  that  the  power  to  make 
that  ultimate  decision  is  no  long- 
er theirs.  Thev  are  aware,  al- 
though darkly,  ol  the  seepage  of 
that  power,  but  cannot  account 
lor  it.  Their  recent  negotiations  — 
so  thin,  so  transparent  not  only 
to  the  actors  who  hold  the  stage, 
but  to  their  universal  audience  as 
well— bespoke,  if  nothing  else,  at 
least  the  first  authentic  glimmer 
of  how  badlv  miscast  these  Le\ia- 
thans  are. 

The  acknowledgement  of  their 
spiritual  unfitness  to  determine 
human  duration,  and  not  their 
cotentions  to  mutual  rights  in  one 
or  another  geographic  area,  will 
determine  with  what  dignitx  whal 
is  left  o!  their  present  positions 
is  retained.  That  determining, 
that  decision  belongs  elsewhere.'.

The  precise  origins  of  the  Jews 
of  this  recently  independent  North 
African  state  are  lost  in  obscurity. 
It  has  been  established,  however, 
that  there  were  Jews  in  Carthage 
when  that  challenger  of  Imperial 
Rome  was  at  the  height  of  its  pow- 
er. There  is  good  reason  to  believe 
that  Jewish  settlement  goes  back  to 
the  time  of  the  first  temple,  a  mil- 
lenium  before  the  arrival  of  the. 
Arabs. 

Whatever  historians  may  finally 
authenticate  as  to  the  Jewish  past 
in  Tunisia,  the  present  is  both  de- 
pressing and  precarious.  Fifteen 
years  ago,  there  were  more  than 
70,000  Jews  in  Tunisia.  There  are 
still  some  50,000  here  now.  About 
30,000  of  them  live  in  the  swarming 
hara,  the  ghetto  of  Tunis,  which 
adjoins  the  medina.  the  old  Arab 
quarter. 

The  fearful  and  the  enterprising 
have  gone  to  Israel;  the  wealthy  and 
cautious  have  gone  to  France. 
Those  who  remain  on  the  rue  des 
Negresses  or  about  the  square  of 
the  Great  Synagogue  belong  to  a 
<  olony  that  is  both  very  ancient  and 
very  poor. 

The  hara  is  Idled  with  the  sights 
and  sounds  of  the  bazaars.  The 
tailors  in  their  cave-like  enclosures, 
squat  in  a  gloom  so  dark  one  won- 
ders  how  the)  can  even  find  the 
needle's  eye.  Here  the  jewelers  chis- 
el silver  and  hammer  shapes  into 
soft  copper.  This  is  where  the  tink- 
ers, working  their  hand  wheels, 
send  thin,  sharp  sparks  into  the  air 
while  the  locksmiths  make  both 
giant  keys  and  tiny  jewel-like  locks. 

Commerce  is  regulated  by  anti- 
quated laws.  Whole  novels  could 
be  written,  for  example,  on  the  bi- 
zarre supply  system  by  which  goods 
reach  the  market  at  the  lower  end 


of  the  hara.  Or,  on  how  meat  that 
has  been  ritually  slaughtered  passes 
through  the  hands  of  wholesalers, 
sub-wholesalers,  semi-retailers  until 
it  finally  arrives  at  the  filthy,  fly- 
infested  market-stall  for  sale. 

Novels  could  be  written  also 
about  the  complex  rights  of  owners 
and  tenants  of  the  crumbling  dwell- 
ings, their  roofs  perforated  by  holes, 
open  to  the  stars  like  a  planetarium.

tails  to  bring  home  more  than  the 
doubtful  profit  derived  from  the 
sale  of  a  few  old  clothes  in  the 
bazaar. 

Those  who  have  lived  their  whole 
lives  in  the  hara,  illiterate,  super- 
stitious, cut  off  from  the  world  at 
large,  have  contracted  the  disease 
of  chalouk— begging.  It  is  a  disease 
which  is  not  easily  cured  and  those 
who  have  it  are  likely  to  remain 
forever  dependent  on  the  commu- 
nity. By  contrast,  among  the  refu- 
gees from  the  south,  who  have  come 
up  to  Tunis,  because  economic  ac- 
tivity has  deteriorated  badly  in  the 
semi-desert  areas,  there  is  more 
gaiety.  They  fill  the  air  with  songs 
and  laughter.  These  recent  arrivals 
aspire  to  better  things  and  are  more 
enterprising. 

The  Jewish  communal  aid  tries 
to  save  the  youth  from  being  sub- 
merged in  the  ghetto  way  of  life. 


Basically,  the  community  authori- 
ties put  their  hopes  in  vocational 
training,  which  here  means  the 
ORT. 

The  trade  school  for  boys,  run 
by  ORT,  trains  in  skills  on  a  Eu- 
ropean standard.  Many  of  the  in- 
structors come  from  the  Anieres 
Institute  near  Geneva,  where  ORT 
trains  a  great  part  of  its  staff. 

Young  Jewish  girls  of  Tunis  can 
also  register  for  courses  where  they 
will  be  trained  as  dressmakers,  sales 
girls,  laboratory  assistants,  typists. 

Two  professional  social  workers 
have  the  task  of  locating  promising 
youngsters  in  the  hara,  to  persuade 
the  parents  to  send  their  children 
to  the  ORT  school,  sometimes  of- 
fering a  small  stipend  for  the  time 
the  youth  is  in  training. 

And  lastly,  this  same  ORT  or- 
ganizes evening  courses  for  adults

Greensboro,  N.  C. 

Dear  Mr.  Brown: 

So  you  are  celebrating  twenty-five  years  ol  American  Jewish  Times- 
Outlook  publication.  Mozel  Tov!  Congratulations! 

I  well  remember  the  first  issue  of  the  magazine.  Having  had  a  bit 
to  do  with  Jewish  journalism  in  the  past  half  of  a  century  or  more.  I 
realize  that  it  took  .grit,  idealism,  persistence  to  labor  this  quarter  of  a 
century  at  your  task. 

There  are  easier  ways  of  making  a  living  than  Jewish  journalism  and 
much  more  profitable  ones.  Only  those  who  have  had  anything  to  do 
with  Jewish  journalism  know  that  there  is  something  much  greater  than 
financial  interests  that  keep  a  man  busy  with  Jewish  journalism.  Alas, 
how  few  of  our  people  realize  that  devotion  to  communal  good  makes 
Jewish  journalists. 

You  have  done  an  excellent  job  especially  for  your  "neck  of  the 
woods."  May  it  be  given  to  you  to  continue  for  many  years  to  come.  , 

With  all  good  wishes, 

Yours  sincerely, 
Oscar  Leonard

A  Sage  Has  Fallen 

Tribute  to  Chief  Rabbi  Isaac  Herzoq 

By  Dr.  Oscar  Z.  Fasman 

President  of  the  Hebrew  Theological  College 


Skokie, 

The  death  of  Chief  Rabbi  Isaac 
Herzog  in  Israel  removes  from  the 
world  scene  one  of  the  most  color- 
ful personalities  in  modern  relig- 
ious life.  An  acute  Talmudist  with 
an  Irish  brogue,  a  saintly  patri- 
arch with  an  interest  in  theoretical 
physics,  a  sturdy  champion  of  in- 
tensive Orthodox  Judaism  with  a 
warm  human  love  for  even  the 
most  unorthodox  individuals,  a 
profound  scholar  with  a  simple 
faith  in  the  essential  goodness  of 
men,  a  mild  and  benign  gentle- 
man almost  timid  in  his  ways  with 
unflinching  courage  to  enter  into 
places  of  physical  danger  in  order 
to  be  with  his  people,  Rabbi  Her- 
zog earned  a  position  of  esteem 
and  love  in  the  hearts  of  Jews  all 
over  the  world. 

The  first  chief  rabbi  in  the  in- 
dependent State  of  Israel,  he  had 
to  establish  the  dignity  and  author- 
ity of  his  office  amidst  the  com- 
plexities of  organizing  a  new  gov- 
ernment. The  delicate  relationship 
between  the  changing  political 
responsibilities  of  that  government 
and  the  eternal  spiritual  values  of 
the  Torah  could  be  kept  in  equi- 
librium only  by  the  broad  under- 
standing he  brought  into  his  field

of  duty.  Where  all  too  many  jump- 
ed hastily  to  the  conclusion  that 
the  ancient  tomes  of  Hebraic  law 
(otdd  not  meet  the  challenge  of 
contemporary  needs,  Rabbi  Herzog 
was  able  to  refute  that  contention 
by  what  he  was  even  before  he 
entered  the  realm  of  action.  In 
him  everybody  recognized  a  titan 
of  halachic  competence,  respected 
by  the  leading  rabbis  of  the  eastern 
European  Yeshivoth,  and  a  man  of 
extensive  cultural  attainments,  the 
peer  of  the  most  progressive  uni- 
versity professors.  If  it  was  patent- 
ly possible  to  blend  the  pious  wis-

Reflections  On  The  American  Scene 


(Concluded  from  Page  10) 


ton  ;  it  democracy  fails  here  to  real- 
ize its  lull  potentialities,  where  else 
will  it  prosper? 

As  we  look  around  the  world  we 
find  our  democratic  idea  embattled 
and  defensive.  It  has  its  sanctuary 
in  the  American  hemisphere.  It  still 
exists  on  the  northern  and  western 
fringes  of  Europe.  There  is  an  oc- 
casional lonely  outpost  in  Asia  and 
Africa.  But  let  us  not  forget  that 
the  majority  of  the  world's  popula- 
tion is  governed  by  autocratic  au- 
thoritarian and  despotic  regimes. 
Democracy  is  a  minority  system  of 
government  and  culture  in  the 
world. 

Let  us  remember  with  awe  that 
between  the  decline  of  the  Athenian 
city-state  and  the  American  Decla- 
ration of  Independence,  not  a  sin- 
gle democracy  with  any  general 
scope  of  influence  was  established 
anywhere  across  the  face  of  the 
globe.  If,  in  this  land,  democracy 
can  reconcile  freedom  with  security, 
all  mankind  will  follow  that  light. 
If  democracy  fails  here,  it  has  no 
future  in  the  world. 

Those  throughout  the  world  who 
conceive  democracy  to  be  the  high- 
est expression  of  man's  social  per- 
sonality cannot  regard  America's 
destiny  as  that  of  a  foreign  state. 
Multitudes  everywhere  are  deeply 
affected  by  the  currents  of  your  life. 

I  hold  the  constitutional  genius 
of  her  fathers  to  be  by  far  the  most 
impressive  of  America's  achieve- 
ments —  more  so,  I  venture  to  sug- 
gest, even  than  the  rivers  of  ma- 
terial abundance  which  have  been 
made  to  gush  forth  from  the  infi- 
nite sources  of  her  wealth  and  en- 
terprise. 


The  issue  for  humanity  is  not 
whether  it  can  have  freedom  or 
abundance  —  but  whether  it  can 
have  both,  united  in  a  joyous  equi- 
librium between  individual  enter- 
prise and  social  discipline.  Here,  I 
believe,  the  example  of  America 
will  be  more  important  than  her 
exertions.  Democracy  cannot  be  im- 
ported; it  cannot,  of  course,  be  sold 
01  enforced.  It  tan  only  be  radiated 
by  the  inherent  strength  of  a  suc- 
cessful example. 

That  is  why  the  great  constitu- 
tional issues  in  your  Republic  — 
civil  rights  and  the  full  flowering  of 
a  democratic  society  —  are  not  es- 
sentially domestic  issues.  They  af- 
fect international  issues  of  awesome 
scope. 

Israel  herself  has  recently  seen 
something  of  the  dynamic  force  of 
example.  There  is  now  a  great  pil- 
grimage to  Israel  from  representa- 
tives of  some  20  nations  in  Asia 
and  Africa,  younger  in  their  inde- 
pendence than  we.  They  are  seeking 
to  draw  upon  our  accumulated  re- 
sources of  pioneering,  to  find  out 
how  our  small  people  lias  managed 
10  reconcile  political  liberty  with 
economic  dynamism  from  an  aus- 
tere starting  point  of  scarcity  and 
travail. 

(To  be  concluded  in  our 
October  issue) 


Israel  is  the  51st  state  of  the 
United  States,  and  as  such  is  emu- 
lating that  country  "in  the  arms 
race  and  in  other  aspects  of  foreign 
policy,"  Moscow  charged  in  an 
Arab-language  broadcast  beamed 
to  the  countries  in  the  Middle  East.

A  Time  Of  War 

By  Barbara  M.  Ribakove 


In  the  darkness  of  the  tunnel, 
people  moved  —  shifting  slightly, 
huddling  together  against  the  damp 
chill,  murmuring  —  and  falling 
silent.  The  air,  once  still  and  heavy, 
trembled  now  with  the  distant 
sound  of  whining  motors.  Men 
spoke  in  whispers  or  not  at  all, 
and  fear  crouched  beside  them. 

But  above  the  whine,  above  the 
murmurs,  a  voice  rose.  At  the  end 
ol  the  tunnel  a  candle  appeared, 
held  aloft.  In  its  glow  a  man  played 
a  tiny  portable  organ,  finding  the 
stops  by  candlelight.  Beside  him 
walked  another  man,  from  whom 
the  words  and  the  melody  came: 
"I  shall  know  no  fear  .  .  . 
The  Lord  is  with  me  .  .  . 
When  the  Lord  is  with  me 
Who  shall  stand  against  me  .  .?" 

Outside  the  sirens  wailed  and  the 
bombs  fell.  In  the  tunnel  people 
lifted  their  heads  and  listened  to 
the  song. 

The  year  was  1940,  the  place 
London.  The  singer  was  Jakob 
Goldstein,  once  Cantor  of  Vilna, 
now  the  beloved  Hazzan  of  Lon- 
don's Great  Synagogue,  and  he  was 
singing  to  the  greatest  congregation 
of  his  life,  the  twelve  thousand  men 
and  women  of  England,  lew  and 
non-Jew,  who  huddled  together 
every  night  in  the  Manor  House 
lube  Station  while  the  Luftwaffe 
roared  over  London. 

Life  had  not  been  easy  for  the 
Cantor  since  the  beginning  of  the 
war.  More  and  more  of  the  hard- 
pressed  Rabbi's  duties  fell  on  him. 
Daily  he  visited  members  of  the 
congregation  in  their  homes.  After- 
noons he  traveled  from  one  London 
hospital  to  another,  and  his  Polish- 
accented  English  became  known  in 
every  ward  and  infirmary.  At  night 
he  waited,  like  the  rest  of  the  city, 
lor  the  motors  and  the  bombs  — 
whenever  the  flames  of  a  hit  could 
be  seen  from  his  window,  Cantor 
Goldstein  left  his  home  and,  in  his 
white  clerical  collar  and  black  suit, 
dodged  fire  engines  and  lorries  to 
get  to  the  bombing  site.  Once  he 
estimated  that  he  saw  and  spoke 
to  three  thousand  people  in  a  single 
day;  ordinarily  he  had  no  time  to 
count. 

One  night  when  the  raid  was 
heavy,  Cantor  Goldstein  and  his 
wife,  Tiba,  took  shelter  in  the  Man 
or  House  Station.  Picking  their  way 
through  the  dark,  crowded  tunnel, 
they  were  recognized  by  a  congrega- 
tion member.  "Reverend,"  a  voice 


said,  "could  you  sing— maybe— just 
a  little  song?"  Cantor  Goldstein 
stopped.  He  peered  into  the  dark. 
"But  everyone  is  asleep,"  he  pro- 
tested. The  man  shook  his  head. 
"We're  really  not  sleeping.  Please, 
Cantor,  my  wife  is  not  taking  it 
so  well  ..."  The  Cantor  stooped 
down.  Very  softly,  he  began  a  song, 
a  Yiddish  song,  quiet  and  tender. 
His  eyes  grew  accustomed  to  the 
dark,  and  he  could  see  the  woman 
raise  her  face,  smiling.  Around  her, 
other  people  stirred,  sat  up.  The 
Cantor  finished  the  song,  and  rose. 
Instantly  another  voice  spoke  out. 
"Reverend  how  about  —  Die 
Sterne?"  This  time  he  didn't  hesi- 
tate. 

The  next  day,  he  found  a  man 
who  could  play  a  portable  organ 
by  candlelight. 

And  so  began  the  strangest  series 
of  Jewish  music  concerts  ever  given. 
Seven  nights  a  week  until  the  blitz 
of  London  was  over,  Cantor  Gold- 
stein sang  his  way  through  the 
tunnel  of  Manor  House  Station. 
He  sang  every  song  he  knew  — 
Israeli    folk    songs,    Russian  and

MRS.  FRANKLIN  LEE  BLOCK 


Wendy  Hope  Barshay,  daughter 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Samuel  L.  Bar- 
shay of  Summerville,  S.  C,  became 
the  bride  of  Lt.  Franklin  Lee  Block, 
son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  M. 
Block  of  Wilmington,  N.  C,  at 
Temple  Beth  Elohim,  Charleston, 
S.  C,  on  June  14th.  Rabbi  Allan 
Tarshish  performed  the  ceremony. 

The  bride  was  given  in  mar- 
riage by  her  father.  Elizabeth  Bar- 
shay was  her  sister's  maid  of  honor. 

Bridesmaids  were  Miss  Mary 
Elizabeth  Block  of  Wilmington, 
sister  of  the  bridegroom;  Miss  Jane 


Ester  Barshay,  sister  of  the  bride; 
Miss  Ann  Banks,  and  Mrs.  Thomas 
Simmons,  all  of  Summerville,  and 
Miss  Lynn  Dumas  and  Miss  Dena 
Segall,  both  of  Charleston. 

Lt.  Block's  father  served  as  best 
man.

A  Program  For  Jewish  Teen-Agers 

By  Burton  Donner 


During  the  past  nine  summers, 
more  than  125  Jewish  teen-agers 
put  in  long  hours  in  heavy  manual 
labor— and  have  gladly  paid  for  the 
opportunity  to  do  so. 

They  have  been  participants  in 
the  nine  work  camps  in  nine  states 
organized  by  the  American  Jewish 
Society  for  Service,  which  was  or- 
ganized in  1950  "to  put  into  prac- 
tice the  ideals  of  Judaism  by  con- 
crete acts  of  service,"  in  the  words 
of  the  Society's  president,  Henry 
Kohn,  a  New  York  attorney. 

The  Society  has  sent  these  young- 
sters to  points  throughout  the 
United  States  to  help  rebuild  dam- 
aged areas  or  to  construct  new 
buildings  where  a  need  existed  and 
the  budget  was  limited. 

They  have  built  toilet  and  show- 
er faciliites  for  Negro  children  in 


Winchester,  New  Hampshire;  they 
aided  in  rebuilding  an  area  in  an 
Indianapolis  slum;  they  helped  re- 
pair flood  damage  in  Winsted, 
Connecticut. 


The  idea  for  such  ^  "program  oc- 
curred many  years  'ago  uY'  three 
Reform  rabbis,  Ferdinand  Isserman 
of  St.  Louis,  Arthur  Lelyveld  of 
New  York,  and  Isador  Hoffman, 
Jewish  student  counselor  at  Colum- 
bia Unversity.  In  1949,  Rabbi  Is- 
serman, who  had  confirmed  Kohn, 
asked  the  attorney  whether  he 
would  undertake  to  establish  such 
a  program.  Kohn  assembled  a 
group  of  lay  people  and  the  Society 
was  launched. 

It  is  a  simple  operation.  Its  head- 
cpiarters  are  in  Kohn's  Manhattan 
law  office.  It  has  no  paid  staff,  no

to  wander  away  from  the  text  in  the 
book.  I  shall  be  thinking.  Anyway, 
I  have  learned  something  of  what 
I'm  in  the  world  for  during  those 
runaway  years.  I'm  here  to  try  to  be 
a  fairly  decent  person,  to  under- 
stand that  I'm  in  the  world  as  kins- 
man to  all  others  in  it,  to  care 
about  my  troubled  neighbors,  to 
know  how  much  is  enough  to  have 
in  my  pocket  or  in  the  safe  deposit 
box.  Isn't  that  about  all  of  being 
a  worthy  Jew  through  the  coming 
year? 

(Not  that  I  have  lived  up  to 
these  ideals  all  the  time.  Oh,  I  do 
fall  down  ever  so  often.) 

So,  it  appears  that  all  those  hur- 
rying Rosh  Hashonahs  have  left  me 
with  something  worthwhile,  after 
all  —  this  bit  of  wisdom,  three  good 
sons,  seven  grandchildren  —  but, 


oh,  if  those  kids  could  be  kept  from 
driving  cars  until  they're  30,  at 
least,  grandpa  would  feel  so  much 
happier. 

After  having  meditated  on  my 
own  in  the  Rosh  Hashonah  service 
in  the  temple,  I  shall  turn  to  page 
171  of  the  Union  Prayer  Book 
where  it  reads:  "Father  of  mercies! 
We  do  not  pray  for  ourselves  alone, 
but  for  all  Thy  children.  May  the 
recognition  of  our  own  failings 
lead  us  to  be  patient  with  the  short- 
comings of  others."

MRS.  RICHARD  FORMAN  and  MRS.  DANIEL  HOLLANDER, 
Correspondents 


Phil  Levine,  Joe  Rubin  and  Harvey  Goldberg; 


The  picture  above  shows  just  a 
few  of  the  many  members  of  the 
Greensboro  AZA-BBG  performing 
at  the  B'nai  B'rith  State  Conven- 
tion on  May  2.  These  youngsters 
put  in  many  long  hours  of  hard 
work  on  this  program  to  earn  our 
applause  on  a  job  well  done. 

Hie  North  Carolina  B.B.Y.O. 
.Summer  Convention  was  also  held 
in  Greensboro  June  ytlwith  at 
Woman's  College.  The  theme  of 
the  convention  was  Furthering 
Jewish  Education,  about  which  all 
oratory  and  debate  topics  centered. 
The  convention  co-chairmen,  Joe- 
Rubin  and  Michele  Gray,  who 
were  also  elected  to  represent 
Greensboro  as  Beau  and  Sweet- 
heart, respectively,  did  a  fine  job 
along  with  head  adult  advisor,  Mr. 
Richard  Forman.  The  schedule 
was  filled  with  religious,  cultural, 
athletic  and  social  functions.  Tro- 
phies were  presented  in  the  athletic 
and  cultural  events.  All  of  the 
Greensboro  AZA  -  BBG  members 
and  their  advisors  should  indeed 
be  proud  of  their  accomplishments 
the   past   season,   for   it   is  only 


through  their  cooperation  and  ef- 
fort that  the  convention  proved  to 
be  both  an  enlightening  and  an 
entertaining  experience  lor  all 
concerned. 

Sarah  fane  Weinstein,  daughter 
ol  Mr.  and  Mis.  Milton  Weinstein, 
was  married  at  noon  August  23rd 
at  home  to  Jay  Stanford  Goodman 
ol  Baltimore,  Md.,  son  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Julius  S.  Goodman  of  Balti- 
more. 

Rabbi  Fred  I.  Rypins  of  Temple 
Emanuel  officiated  at  the  cere- 
mony. 

The  bride  was  given  away  by  her 
lather,  and  attended  by  her  sister, 
Miss  Anne  Harriett  Weinstein. 
The  bridegroom's  faher  was  best 
man. 

Our  heartfelt  congratulations  go 
to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  David  Zauber  on 
the  birth  of  their  son,  David  Nor- 
man Zauber  Junior,  April  28th. 

On  June  22nd,  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Harvey  Rubin  became  the  proud 
parents  of  a  daughter,  Ruth  Ellen. 
I  hey  have  our  best  wishes.

Inbal:  An  Emerging  Israel  Folk  Dance 

By  Sara  Levi-Tanai 

Director,  Inbal  Dance  Theatre  of  Israel 

Returning  for  a  second  American  tour  this  Fall,  the  INBAL  dancers 
will  in  the  next  three  months  be  seen  in  some  twenty-five  American  and 
Canadian  communities,  extending  from  Boston  to  Vancouver,  and  from  New 
York  to  Los  Angeles,  as  a  feature  of  tine  cultural  exchange  program  of  the 
American-Israel  Cultural  Foundation,  sponsors  of  the  tour  which  will  he 
under  the  management  of  S.  Hurok.  In  this  article,  the  director  of  the  troupe 
tells  of  the  aims,  aspirations  and  philosophy  of  this  dance  group  which  John 
Martin,  dance  critic  of  the  New  York  Times,  called  "a  rich  and  rare  treat. 
Nothing  remotely  like  it  has  been  seen  in  these  pars  before."  THE  EDITOR. 

Ten  years  ago  a  group  of  young 
men  and  women  of  Yemenite  or- 
gin  met  in  a  small  hall  in  north 
Tel  Aviv.  They  themselves  weren't 
clear  about  what  they  wanted. 
Should  they  form  a  theatre  or 
dance  group?  Should  they  restrict 
themselves  to  Vemenite  folklore  or 
should  they  be  an  Israeli  group 
made  up  of  members  of  Oriental 
background? 

One  thing  wa 
there  was  a  great 
pression.  The  Yemenite  Jews  have 
a  rich  store  of  experience  and  folk- 
lore and  there  was  no  need  to  go 
looking  lor  material.  We  began 
to  sing  and  to  dance.  But  even 
from  the  beginning  it  was  clear 
to  us  that  our  Yemenite  Sources 
alone  would  not  be  sufficient.  Our 
aim  was  the  creation  of  a  perman- 
ent professional  group,  and  not  the 
occasional  union  of  people  who  are 
preparing  one  or  two  programs. 
What  course  then  should  we  take? 


certain:  that 
onging  for  ex- 


The  story  of  the  development 
ol  Inbal  cannot  be  told  in  a  few 
words.  Our  ideas  became  clearer 
to  us  as  we  worked.  Little  by 
little,  step  after  step,  the  project 
developed,  the  repertory  grew  and 
now  three  curents  can  be  distin- 


SAR  \  LEVI-TANAI 

guished  in  the  work  of  the  com- 
pany: 

(1)  The  Yemenite  current,  bas- 
ed upon  the  tradition  and  folk- 
lore of  the  Yemenites.  This  trend 
also  includes  original  songs  and 
stylized   Yemenite  movement. 

(2)  The  Biblical  current,  free- 
ly-shaped works  on  subjects  taken 
from  the  Bible.  Here,  also,  the 
movement  is  chiefly  Yemenite,  but 
is  is  augmented  by  a  tendency  to 
broaden  and  enrich  the  movement 
and  to  make  it  express  the  drama.

(3)  The  Israeli  current.  The 
spiritual  tension  in  the  building 
of  the  new  Israel  naturally  in- 
fluences every  Israeli  artist  who 
shares  the  life  of  his  nation.  The 
feeling  for  the  old-new  landscape, 
the  joy  of  redeeming  the  land  and 
the  desert,  and  the  struggle  for 
existence— all  these  supply  a  rich 
mass  of  material. 

Ten  years  ago  the  whole  proj- 
ect seemed  a  daring  thing.  The 
pupils  had  never  studied  dancing 
or  acting.  All  came  from  religious 
families,  where  the  theatre  is  sy- 
nonymous with  idleness,  or  even 
profligacy.  The  teacher  herself  was 
not  over-burdened  with  artistic 
training.  She  had  only  directed 
performances  given  by  amateurs 
in  schools  and  kibbutzim,  and 
several  appearances  with  young 
groups  and  in  children's  theatres. 
None  of  us  had  any  conception  of 
the  dance  as  an  art  in  its  own 
right.  ~! 

However,  "the  Lord  watches 
lools."  Naive  as  we  were,  we  sang 
1  he  songs  of  Weraen  and  the  new 
songs  of  Israel.  We  performed  Ye- 
menite dances  and  Israeli  shep- 
herd dances.  Our  very  first  ap- 
pearances, with  all  their  unripe- 
ness, caught  the  public  interest 
especially  in  the  workers'  settle- 
ments which  felt  that  Inbal  was 
near  to  them  in  spirit.  After  every 
appearance  in  some  isolated  settle

merit  or  large  kibbutz  the  same  cry 
was  heard:  this  is  ours;  we  under- 
stand it.  Here  the  young  group 
found  much  encouragement. 

Then  through  the  American- 
Israel  Cultural  Foundation,  spon- 
sors of  the  American  tours  of 
Inbal,  came  great  help.  Artists  like 
Jerome  Robbins  and  Anna  Soko- 
low  were  sent  to  Israel  to  help 
develop  this  budding  enterprise. 
Miss  Sokolow  visited  Israel  several 
times,  trained  the  members  of  the 
group  and  laid  the  foundation  for 
organized  and  professional  work. 
She  helped  prepare  Inbal  for  the 
most  daring  of  all  our  dreams— 
our  first  tour  of  Europe  and  the 
United  Nations  and  Canada  in 
1957.  And  she  returned  this  past 
summer  to  work  with  us  in  pre- 
paration of  our  second  American 
tour  this  Fall. 

As  a  Jewish,  Israeli  and  Orient- 
al group,  Inbal  draws  from  rich 
spiritual  storehouses.  The  thou- 
sand-year-old culture  of  Isarel, 
which  has  stood  the  test  of  tor- 
ment and  shame,  supplies  every 
artist  participating  in  the  life  of 
his  nation  with  innumberable  top- 
ics. What  is  also  important  is  the 
spiritual  content  stored  in  every 
subject;  the  fruit  of  an  ancient, 
continuous  culture.  This  makes 
the  dramatic  touch  of  the  Jewish, 
Biblical  or  Israeli  subject  more 
poignant.  For  even  when  we  come 
to  deal  with  a  new  Israeli  subject 
we  are  imbued  with  the  feeling  of 
our  ancient  landscape.  The  figure 
of  the  modern  Israeli  farmer  and 
fighter  does  not  fall  short  of  its 
precursors  in  the  Bible,  for  the 
modern  Israeli  has  also  sprung  11  p 
faithful  to  our  ancient  sources.

As  a  Jewish  ethnic  group  whose 
place  of  exile  has  remained  the 
Orient,  we  have  at  our  command 
folklore  which  has  rich  ancient 
and  Oriental  traits.  It  can  be  said 
of  Inbal  that  the  problems  of  what 
to  do  and  what  material  to  draw 
on,  does  not  even  exist.  The 
sources,  the  material,  the  back- 
ground, and  the  stimulus  exist  in 
a  blinding  and  oppressive  abun- 
dance. There  is  a  feeling  that  the 
silence  of  generations  has  been 
broken  and  the  song  burst  forth. 

When  Yeshayahu,  Yehuda,  Sho- 
shanah  or  Margalith  sing,  one  can 
hear  in  their  voices  the  lamenta- 
tion of  the  desert  in  its  broad  ex- 
penses of  wasteland,  distress  of  the 
individual  in  the  burning  land- 
scape of  the  Orient,  the  same  in- 
tense and  charming  landscape 
which  brought  forth  stormy  pro- 
phets, stubborn  farmers  and  shep- 
herds, the  visionaries  of  one  great 
wide  world,  in  which  the  human 
species  lives  n  brotherhood  and 


the  Lord  of  Justice  is  his  Lord. 

On  such  a  spiritual  basis  almost 
every  dance  receives  a  deep  and 
symbolic  meaning.  Without  cut- 
ting itself  off  from  the  roots  of 
reality,  this  expression  rises  to 
exalted  heights. 

In  ten  years  we  have  created 
about  fifteen  dance-pieces  which 
form  the  basis  for  the  technique 
of  Inbal,  five  of  them  never  before 
seen  in  America.  This  is  a  treasure 
and  the  movements  have  broaden- 
ed during  the  years.  Now  it  is  also 
beginning  to  be  crystalized.  But 
the  act  of  branching  out  involves 
no  diminution  of  strength.  Cease- 
lessly new  movements  penetrated 
by  a  generally  Oriental  influence 
are  being  added  to  the  elements 
of  the  Yemenite  dance,  movement 
and  gesture.  Yemen  lies  in  the 
southern  part  of  the  Arabian  pen- 
insula and  it  is  near  Africa  and 
India;  what  wonder  then  that  the 
influence  of  these  nearby  coun- 
tries is  felt  in  its  song  and  dance?

Brynwood,  Greenwood,  And  Kenwood 

By  Rabbi  Joseph  L.  Baron 


Brynwood  and  Greenwood  are 
lemi-public  places  in  Milwaukee, 
serving  the  needs  of  Jewish  fam- 
ilies, and  pointing  to  the  opposite 
poles  in  the  orbit  of  human  in- 
terest. Brynwood  is  a  country  club. 
Greenwood  is  a  cemetery. 

Brynwood  betokens  life,  the  vig- 
or and  exuberance  of  health,  the 
zest  and  fun  of  youth.  It  is  carpet- 
ed with  rolling  meadows  for  golf- 
ing, equipped  with  a  sparkling 
pool  for  swimming,  supplied  with 
sumptuous  facilities  for  delectable 
refreshments.  It  resounds  with 
laughter  and  the  voice  of  joy. 

Greenwood  is  hushed  in  the  lap 
of  death.  It  is  the  oldest  function- 
ing Jewish  burial-ground  in  the 
city.  The  remains  of  some  of  our 
earliest  pioneers  have  rested  there 
lor  nearly  a  century,  and  period- 
ically its  gates  open  to  receive  a 
new-comer,  in  a  silence  sometimes 
pierced  by  a  sigh  and  a  sob. 

Obviously,  the  two  institutions 
exist  for  two  practical  purposes, 
for  the  need  of  recreation  and  the 
need  of  interment.  Yet  the  ques- 
tion occasionally  arises,  why  a 
specifically  Jewish  club,  why  a 
separate   Jewish  cemetery? 

There  is  a  negative  answer: 
Jews,  especially  where  they  are  in 
considerable  numbers,  find  it  dif- 
ficult to  feel  completely  at  home 
and  relaxed,  or  even  to  gain  ad-

mittance,  in  non-sectarian  Chris- 
tian clubs.  And  cemeteries  have 
naturally  followed  a  traditional 
pattern  of  religious  symbols  and 
links. 

There  is  also  a  positive  answer, 
stemming  from  a  third  institution, 
the  synagogue,  of  which  the  most 
venerable  example  in  our  city  is 
located  on  Kenwood  Boulevard. 
And  if  the  "bryn"  in  Brynwood 
symbolizes  the  brine  and  brawn 
of  the  body,  it  the  "green"  in 
Greenwood  calls  to  mimd  the  Bib- 
lical comparison  of  man  to  "grass 
which  in  the  morning  groweth  up 
and  in  the  evening  is  cut  down 
and  withereth,"  then  let  the  "ken" 
in  Kenwood  suggest  the  knowl- 
edge of  God,  which  the  Temple 
has  endeavored  to  channel 
through  several  generations  of  our 
people,  and  which  in  a  measure 
helped  to  determine  the  character 
of  their  personal  lives  and  com- 
munal institutions. 

Judaism  has  distinct  attitudes  in 
matters  of  recreation  and  social  in- 
tercourse. The  Lav:  of  Moses,  for 
instance,  forbids  hunting  as  a 
spoil,  and  any  human  pleasure 
which  involves  the  wanton  inflic- 
tion of  pain  on  a  dumb  animal. 
The  rabbinic  code  has  much  to  say 
regarding  the  sensibilites  of  neigh- 
bors and  guests.  The  Hebrew  cal- 
endar offers  many  oportunities  for 
cultural  and  festival  delights.  Our 
traditions  of  ethics  and  etiquette 
reveal  a  wealth  of  beautiful  cus- 
toms and  profound  insights  on 
fellowship,  entertainment,  joy  and 
sobriety.

This  is  very,  very  important. 
The  materialistic  trend  is  often 
[lightening,  and  a  country  club 
may  be  symptomatic  of  a  tragic 
degeneracy.  The  vulgarities  of 
affluence,  the  cruelties  of  snob- 
bery, the  debaucheries  of  pleasure, 
the  emptiness  of  pastime,  led  to 
the  ruin  of  many  an  empire,  and 
may  portend  the  most  serious  sub- 
version of  America.  It  may  be 
specially  disastrous  as  a  Jewish 
spectacle.  A  house  devoted  to 
physical  recreation  and  play  must 
have  the  balance  offered  by  the 
house  of  God.  Brynwood  needs 
the  constant  tie  with  Kenwood. 

I  have  faith  in  the  moral  fiber 
of  our  people,  which  accounts  for 
the  basic  strength  of  our  family 
and  community  patterns,  our 
civic  and  vocational  and  personal 
integrity.  I  was  therefore  not  sur- 
prised to  read  the  latest  resolution 
of  the  Brynwood  Board  that  every 
member  must  give  annually  to 
charity  a  sum  at  least  equal  to  the 
year's  aggregate  of  dues,  assess- 
ments and  taxes  imposed  by  the 
club.  It  was  not  surprising,  but 
heartening  as  a  spiritual  reaffir- 
mation of  a  Jewish  country  club, 

In  turn,  symbolically  speaking, 
Brynwood  and  Kenwood  need 
Greenwood. 

It  is  our  hallowed  custom  to 
visit  the  cemetery  during  the 
month  preceding  the  holy  days,  to 
keep  fresh  the  remembrance  of 
departed  ones,  to  maintain  the 
bond  that  is  mightier  than  the 
grave,  and  to  enter  into  the  season- 
al spirit  of  repentance  and  atone- 
ment by  the  contemplation  of 
death. 

A  truly  Jewish  cemetery  forti- 
fies this  purpose.  It  supports  that 
remembrance  and  bond  by  keep- 
ing our  dear  ones  within  their 
natural  frame  of  spiritual  refer- 
ence—the Jewish  community.  Its 
simplicitry  and  serenity  help  us  to 
find  peace  and  resignation.  Its  les- 
son is  that  our  body  cannot  be  pre 
served,  that  it  belongs  to  the  earth. 
And  who,  when  he  lays  to  earth 
that  we  are  but  dust,  can  remain 
puffed  up  by  conceit  and  greed? 

Rabbi  Lipman  Heilprin  of  Bie- 
lostok  once  heard  a  case  involving 
a  bitterly  disputed  piece  of  land. 
He  finally  suggested  that  they  go 
to  inspect  the  property;  and  when 
they  arrived  there,  he  bent  down 


with  his  ear  to  the  ground,  re- 
maining in  that  position  for  a 
little  while.  "What  are  you  do- 
ing?" asked  the  unyielding  liti- 
gants. "Let  me  explain,"  replied 
the  rabbi.  "You're  quarreling  over 
a  bit  of  earth.  Each  of  you  claims 
that  it  belongs  to  him.  So  I 
thought  I'd  consult  the  earth. 
Now,  what  do  you  suppose  I 
heard?  Why,  the  earth  claims  that 
you  both  belong  to  her." 

Unfortunately,  an  alien  drive 
has  invaded  our  cemeteries  and 
disturbed  their  essential  tradition. 
Costly  caskets  and  vaults,  as  if  the 
body  could  be  preserved.  Con- 
spicuous monuments  and  mousol- 
ums  to  stress  the  inequalities  of 
life.  The  vanities  of  our 
mundane  existence  which,  when 
carried  into  the  "home  of 
eternity,"  make  an  ugly  and 
ludicrous  jumble  of  extravagant 
idolatry.  And  now,  the  tendency 
to  run  to  "non-sectarian"  memori- 
al parks,  filled  with  non-Jewish 
motifs,  a  new  mode  of  escapism, 
recalling  Dorothy  Parker's  corn- 
met: 

"He  lies  below,  correct  in  cy- 
press wood, 

And  entertains  the  most  exclu- 
sive worms." 

I  need  not  belabor  the  point. 
There  is  an  exquisite  fewish  tradi- 
tion of  wisdom  and  humaneness

The  Ultimate  Cruelty 

By  Arnold  Forster 

(Reprinted  from  the  June,  1959  issue  of  the  A.  D.  L.  Bulletin) 


ARNOLD  FORSTER 

The  ultimate  cruelty  to  the  six 
million  Jews  killed  under  Hitler 
—the  denial  of:  the  fact  that  the\ 
ever  existed,  suffered,  and  died— is 
now  being  practiced  by  the  haters, 
professional  and  amateur,  here  and 
abroad.  It  is  a  constant  theme  in 
their  literature  and  speeches; 
through  repetition  it  is  beginning 
to  find  its  way  into  the  responsi- 
ble press  and,  presumably,  the 
minds  of  respectable  people. 

There  is  no  telling  just  when 
the  ultimate  cruelty  began  to  take 
form.  Probably  it  started  soon  af- 
ter the  facts  were  established  at 
the  International  Military  Tri- 
bunal held  in  Nuremberg,  Ger- 
many, after  World  War  II.  Then 
the   facts   were   made  hideously

clear.  Some  six  million  Jews  had 
been  murdered,  gassed  or  shot, 
beaten  or  starved  to  death.  The 
(igure— six  million  dead— was  de- 
termined in  many  ways.  Among 
them: 

The  Nazis  themselves  generally 
kept  good  records.  Adolf  Eich- 
mann,  one  of  those  in  charge  of 
the  Nazi  program  of  exterminat- 
ing Jews,  was  quoted  as  saying,  on 
the  basis  of  all  his  knowledge  and 
statistics,  that  four  million  jews 
had  been  killed  in  concentration 
camps,  another  two  million  killed 
by  Einsalz,  Nazi  task  force  units. 
(Also  at  Nuremberg,  another  high 
Nazi  official,  S.  S.  Sturmbannfueh- 
rer  Wilhelm  Hoettl,  said  thai 
Heinrich  Himmler  had  rejected 
the  six  million  figure  as  being  too 
low.) 

Allied  demographers  and  other 
population  experts  independently 
came  to  the  six  million  figure  as 
a  result  of  study  of  statistics  be- 
fore, during,  and  after  Hitler. 

Historian  Arnold  Toynbee, 
among  others,  reviewed  Nazi  rec- 
ords, statements  made  by  camp 
commandants,  and  others  and 
concluded:  "By  the  time  that  the 
Allied  Armies  had  gained  control 
of  the  whole  of  Europe,  approxi- 
mately six  million  Jews  had  per- 
ished." 

And  through  the  vears,  all  au- 
thoritative studies  and  documen- 
tation produced  the  same  figure 
—six  million  Jewish  dead. 

The  figure  is  so  huge  that  it 
eludes  the  imagination  and,  in  its 
enormity,  loses  meaning.  In  the 
Kishinev  Massacre  of  1903,  47 
Jews  were  killed.  You  can  think 
of  47  people  as  individual  men, 
women    and    children.    You  can

read  the  words  of  just  one  of  the 
six  million  killed  by  the  Nazis— 
an  Anne  Frank  or  Emanuel  Rin- 
gelblum— and  fathom  the  depths 
of  individual  tragedy.  Or  you  can 
think  of  family  or  friends  who 
died  under  Hitler.  But  the  figure 
—six  million— is  a  nameless,  face- 
less abstractor!.  It  is  so  large  that 
it  appears  incredible.  It  is  this 
fact  that  the  bigots  are  trying  to 
exploit  in  making  their  insanely 
cruel  charge— the  denial  that  the 
six  million  ever  existed. 

How,  in  the  face  of  all  histori- 
cal fact,  can  the  bigots  use  this  as 
a  persistent  propaganda  slogan? 
They  do  it  by  playing  a  weird 
kind  of  numbers  game,  without 
logic  or  context.  Look  at  the  rea- 
soning of  professional  anti-Semite 
James  Madole,  writing  in  his  "Na- 
tional Renassaince  Bulletin:" 

"Although  the  World  Almanac 
attests  to  the  fact  that  fewer  than 
600,000  Jews  ever  lived  in  Ger- 
many, the  Jews  persisted  in  their 
monstrous  lie  that  Nazi  Germany 
had  cremated  six  million  of  their 
co-racials  .  .  .  Many  Jews  alleged- 
ly roasted  by  Hitler  are  now  turn- 
ing their  talents  to  butchering 
Arab  women  and  children  in  the 
Gaza  strip." 

Madole  has  the  facts  right 
about  the  Jewish  population  or 
Germany.  But  the  overwhelming 
number  of  Jews  killed  under  the 
Nazis  were  not  German  Jews. 
Madole  completely  overlooks  the 
fact  that,  under  the  Nazis,  2,800,- 
000  or  85%  of  Poland's  3,300,000 
Jews  were  killed;  that  1,500,000  or 
71%  of  the  2,100,000  Jews  in  oc- 
enpied  portions  of  Russia  were 
killed;  that  425,000  or  50%  of  Ru- 
mania's 850,000  Jews  were  killed; 
that  260,000  or  82.5%  of  Czecho- 
slovakia's 315,000  Jews  were  kill- 
ed. To  say  nothing  of  Jews  killed 
in  Hungary,  Lithuania,  Holland, 
France,  Latvia,  and  Germany  it- 
self. These  figures,  too,  are  avarl-

able  in  various  editions  of  the 
World  Almanac. 

Madole  has  his  own  explana- 
tion of  why  the  figure  "six  mil- 
lion" is  used: 

"The  Jews  have  found  it  ex- 
tremely lucrative  to  maintain  the 
gigantic  swindle  of  atrocities  com- 
mitted by  the  German  people 
against  the  Jewish  race.  Each  year, 
World  Jewry  forces  Western  Ger- 
many to  pay  the  sum  of  $110,000,- 
000  in  reparations  to  the  State  of 
Israel.  The  entire  Isareli,  merchant 
marine  was  built  by  the  sweat  of 
German  labor.  .  ." 

Madole's  concern  for  the  Ger- 
mans includes  complete  sympathy 
lor  the  Nazis.  He  shows  this  in 
an  almost  classical  rewrite  of  his- 
tory when  he  seeks  to  prove  that 
Jews  flourished  in  Poland  despite 
Hitler: 

"In  late  1944,  the  Jews  of  War- 
saw, Poland,  fully  armed  with 
modern  war  material,  launched  an 
offensive  against  Nazi  troops  .  .  . 
How  could  these  Jews  have  been 
exterminated  during  five  years  of 
Nazi  rule  in  Poland  when  they 
were  able  to  launch  a  full  scale 
military  offensive  as  late  as  1944?" 

The  year  in  which  the  Jews  of 
the  Warsaw  ghetto  made  their 
epic,  desperate  fight  for  survival— 
in  which  the  ghetto  was  devastat- 
ed—was early  1943,  not  late  1944. 
Madole  calls  their  death  struggles 
against  the  might  of  the  Nazi 
army  "a  full  scale  military  offen- 
sive."

Arab  propagandist  and  a  financial

The  Return  to  Prayer 

(Concluded  from  Page  11) 


Sam,  sleek  and  polished  in  his 
well  fitting  clothes,  his  gleaming- 
shoes,  his  general  air  of  assured 
prosperity,  stood  at  the  door.  Then 
he  slowly  entered.  An  eagle-eyed 
beadle  caught  sight  of  him,  and 
inarched  down  the  aisle  toward 
him. 

Sam  looked  around,  then  sat 
down  at  the  end  of  a  bench  nearest 
the  door. 

The  beadle  approached. 


"This  way,  sir,"  he  invited,  point- 
ing to  the  Ark.  "We  have  a  seat 
up  trout." 

"This  will  do,"  Sam  answered, 
remaining  on  the  bench. 

"That,"  spluttered  the  beadle," 
that's  not  for  you,  sir.  That's  the 
beggars'  seat." 

Sam  remained  seated.  He  looked 
up  at  the  beadle. 

"This  is  the  seat  for  me,  sham- 
mas,  I'm  a  beggar.  I've  come  to  beg 
.  .  .  forgiveness."

A  Sermonette 

By  Nalhan  Ziprin 


Having  spent  the  best  years  of 
my  life  in  the  tents  of  Jacob,  pre- 
paring lor  a  rabbinical  career 
which  would  have  been  the  crown- 
ing dream  of  my  parents  it  their 
b'chor,  their  firstborn  were  more 
amenable  to  parental  guidance,  the 
urge  to  sermonize  is  a  heritage 
whose  surfacing  at  times  is  difficult 
to  contain,  however,  hard  I  fight 
against  it. 

The  sermon  is  the  exclusive  do- 
main of  the  rabbinate,  and  not  even 
a  near-rabbi  may  cutter  it.  However, 
since  to  sin  is  epiite  human,  the 
rabbis  will,  1  am  sure,  forgive  me 
lor  unlawfully  entering  that  pardes 
litis  once.  Particularly  since  I  am 
prepared  to  promise  them  that  this 
will  not  happen  too  often,  or  per- 
haps even  never  again. 

Presumably  what  is  to  follow  has 
been  said  more  forcefully  by  our 
men  of  the  cloth  and  there  is  no 
intention  here  to  become  an  inter- 
loper. However,  I  am  convinced 
the  rabbis  will  be  most  tolerant  of 
this  effort,  remembering  as  they 
will  that  this  attempt  stems  from  an 
extension  and  variation  of  the  Tal- 
mudic  dictum  against  taking  lightly 
the  benediction  of  the  layman. 

This  sermonette  has  a  limited 
objective  —  Jewish  simchas,  Jewish 
festivities. 

There  was  a  time  when  Jewish 
rejoicing  had  a  unique  character. 
Circumcising  a  male  child  was  not 
only  an  occasion  for  complying 
with  Biblical  prescription,  but  of 
bringing  the  new  born  into  a 
cradle  of  almonds  and  raisins  on 
which  he  would  feed  into  learning,

knowledge  and  piety.  Becoming 
bar  mitzvah  meant  not  leaving  but 
entering  the  sanctums  of  learning, 
and  becoming  wedded  was  not 
only  a  linking  of  two  people,  but  a 
linking  with  the  ages  and  the  sages. 

There  was  boundless  rejoicing 
among  Jews  on  those  occasions,  for 
the  festivity  took  on  a  character 
beyond  its  immediate  significance. 
The  birth  of  a  new  child  meant 
less  an  increment  in  the  family 
than  a  new  witness  to  an  eternal 
verity.  Becoming  bar  mitzvah  sig- 
nalized not  only  accjuisition  by  the 
communty  of  Israel  of  a  new  mem- 
ber but  of  a  new  dedication.  Mar- 
riage was  the  fruition  of  a  hope  to 
raise  sons  lor  chupah,  torah  and 
good  deeds.  The  rejoicing  centered 
therefore  less  around  the  individ- 
ual than  the  moment. 

One  would  have  to  be  complete- 
ly divorced  from  reality  to  expect 
Jewish  simchas  today  to  strike  the 
depth  of  former  days.  Our  ration- 
ale about  those  matters  is  com- 
pletely different  from  that  of  our 
ancestors,  to  whom,  incidentally, 
rejoicing  was  in  essence  an  uplift- 
ing, an  ascent,  an  association  with 
the  heights  where  He  alone  dwell- 
eth. 

We,  of  this  generation  of  Jews, 
have  lost  the  ancient  art  of  rejoic- 
ing. Instead  we  have  filled  our 
festivities  with  repulsive  vulgari- 
ties. Chanting  has  given  way  to 
boisterous  jazz;  sacred  rituals  to 
alien  forms;  sanctity  to  profanity 
and  assocation  with  tradition  to 
icy  disparity.

Stephen  Bloom,  son  of  Eugene 
and  Betty  Bloom  of  Emporia  and 
grandson  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  Davis 
and  Mr.  Dave  Bloom,  was  Bar 
Mitzvah  at  Temple  Emanu-El  on 
Friday  and  Saturday,  July  14th  and 
15th.  Rabbi  Ralph  Weisberger  as- 
sisted by  Stephen  officiated  at  the 
services. 

The  Oneg  Shabat  was  given  by 
the  parents  at  the  Temple.  Im- 
mediately following  the  Bar  Mitz- 
vah on  Saturday  a  buffet  luncheon 
was  given  by  Betty  and  Eugene 
at  the  home  of  Louise  and  Ellis 
Farbcr.  On  Saturday  evening  the 
relatives,  friends  and  guests  were 
honored  at  a  dinner  and  dance  in 
Fmporia. 

Friends  and  relatives  came  from 
many  places  for  this  occasion. 
From  Baltimore  came  Mr.  G.  Hess, 
Miss  Betty  Himelford,  Mr.  and

called  back  the  next  day,  and  for 
several  days  before  the  society's  af- 
fair, the  response  being  the  same. 
Becky  was  not  at  home  regardless 
of  the  hour  I  telephoned  the  house. 

I  ended  up  taking  Ma  as  my  date 
and  I  couldn't  have  done  better  had 
Becky  answered  one  of  my  calls 
and  accepted. 

It  was  the  first  and  last  time  I 
danced  with  Ma.  No  one  else  did 
that  night,  not  because  I  wanted  to 
monopolize  her,  but  they  just  were 
not  asking  her. 

We  had  a  wonderful  time  and  as 
I  look  back  on  the  affair,  I  feel  it 
was  just  as  well  Becky  Kornbloom 
played  hard  to  get. 

Becky  Kornbloom,  I  said  to  my- 
self, as  1  was  reading  The  New  York 
Times.  It  can't  be  you! 

But  it  was,  for  I  couldn't  mistake 
the  picture  of  her  features  despite 
the  caption  which  read  : 

Becky  Korn,  native  New  Yorker, 
has  been  appointed  dean  of  ...  . 
University.  The  educational  insti- 
tution was  in  a  nearby  state  with  an 
"A"  rating.  I  didn't  know  it  then, 
but  laave  learned  it  since. 

I  was  happy  for  Beck:  it  was  what 
she  wanted  more  than  anything 
else,  only  more  than  a  hundred 
children  were  involved.  Several 
thousand  would  be  more  like  it. 
But  this  did  not  matter:  it  was  the 
thought  and  the  ambition  and  the 
energy  to  follow  through  that 
counted. 

As  for  myself,  I  had  never  gone 
to  college  and  never  wanted  to 
become  a  dean.  I  wanted  more  than 
anything  else  to  play  solo  trumpet 
in  a  philharmonic  or  symphony. 
And  I  failed. 

But  I  haven't  given  up  hope  for

on  twelve  and  he's  been  practicing

my  old  sheet  music  and  stand  .  .  . 

Who  knows  how  long  that  will 
last?

soul  of  the  departed  can  be  turned 
into  a  perpetual  blessing.  A  mon- 
ument can  be  erected,  not  with  a

lot  religion,  for  scientific  research,

ment lifts  its  head  heavenward, 
and  carries  mankind  along. 

This  season  brings  us  a  cluster 
of  three  holy  occasions:  Rosh 
Hashonah,  the  new  year  of  piety; 
Yom  Kippur,  the  solemn  reminder 
of  death;  Succoth,  the  joyous  feast 
of  life.

delegation.  More  than  twenty  vet-

Post  No.  155  at  the  1959  conven-

An  intensive  membership  cam-

Get  On  For  Ben,'  in  honor  of  the 
retiring  national  executive  director, 
Congressional  Medal  of  Honor 
winner,  Ben  A.  Kaufman,  of  New 
Jersey. 

The  Richmond  Post  played  a 
very  important  part  in  doing  some 
historical  research  lor  the  Wash-

uable assistance,  and  provided  the 
necessary  information. 


Virginia  Softball 
Tournament 

The  reign  of  Richmond  teams 
as  kingpins  in  the  Virginia  Amateur 
Softball  Association's  Jewish 
Tournament  reached  an  end  on 
Sunday,  July  12,  1959.  Temple 
Israel  of  Norfolk  is  the  new  cham- 
pion in  the  slow  pitch  event. 

Temple  Beth-El  of  Richmond 
won  the  title  three  years  in  suc- 
cession when  the  tournament 
operated  on  a  fast  pitch  basis.  The 
past  two  seasons,  B'nai  B'rith  of 
Richmond  look  the  slow  pitch 
honors. 

Temple  Israel  captured  the  1959 
crown  by  edging  Manny  King's 
All-Stars  of  Richmond,  6-5,  and 
Dan  Sont's  Rovers  of  Richmond, 

9"7- 

In  other  tournament  games, 
King's  All-Stars  whitewashed  B'nai 
B'rith  ol  Richmond,  defending 
champions,  9-0,  and  the  Rovers 
eliminated  B'nai  Israel  of  Norfolk, 
9-5  ■ 

Temple  Israel  trailed  King's 
All-Stars,  5-3,  before  they  tied  the 
score  with  2  runs  in  the  seventh. 
They  added  the  winning  tally  in 
the  eighth.  A  big  first  inning,  in 
which  they  scored  7  runs,  was  the 
prime  factor  in  Temple  Israel's 
win  over  the  Rovers  in  the  decisive 
contest. 

The  beautiful  Thalhimers  De- 
partment Store  trophy  was  pre- 
sented to  Temple  Israel.  The  Rock- 
ingham Clothes  for  Men  award 
went  to  Harold  Burns,  the  cham- 
pions' manager,  and  two  Adiron- 
dack softball  bats  were  given  to 
Left  Fielder  Franklin  Swartz,  the 
outstanding  hitter  on  the  winning 
team. 

Members  of  the  championship 
Temple  Israel  team:  Nat  Leider- 
man  and  Morris  Cooper,  c;  Barry 
Fine,  Murray  Pell  and  Fred  Gor- 
don, p:  Harvey  Misel,  lb;  Lawr-

prin,  3b;  Eddie  Nesson,  sf;  Franklin

By  winning,  the  Norfolk  players 
qualified  for  the  Virginia  Open 
Slow  Pitch  Tournament  in  Rich- 
mond on  Sunday,  August  30. 

The  Seventh  Annual  Virginia 
ASA  Jewish  Slow  Pitch  Softball

tion of  America,  is  also  open  to 
teams  in  North  Carolina,  Maryland

"SERVING  YOU  SINCE  SEVENTY-TWO" 


The  Ceremony  Only  Takes  18  Minutes 

By  E.  L.  Levey 


1  have  recently  married  off  a 
son  and  am  now  in  the  process  of 
doing  likewise  with  a  daughter.  I 
didn't  worry  too  much  about  the 
preparations  for  the  first  event. 
Why  should  I?  It  was  a  case  of 
lots  of  honor  and  no  work,  and 
most  of  the  honor  derived  from 
the  fact  that  I  had  borne  a  hand- 
some, likeable  son  who  had  the 
brilliance  to  pick  out  "their" 
daughter.  The  wedding  itself  was 
a  gem  of  perfection,  moving  with- 
out a  hitch  from  start  to  finish, 
even  to  the  point  of  the  appear- 
ance of  our  grandson  a  year  later. 

The  only  flaw  in  the  gem  was 
me.  It  has  to  do  with  my  peculiar 
nature,  which  makes  me  question 
a  procedure  which  has  been  ac- 
quired by  the  Jewish  community 
in  the  last  few  years.  It  must  be  an 
acquired  procedure  since  I  remem- 
ber nothing  like  it  in  my  time  nor 
do  I  remember  my  mother  telling 
me  about  such  events.  It's  this 
business  of  entertaining  for  the 
bride.  Since  I  am  going  through 
the  ordeal  for  the  second  time  in 
two  years,  I  no  longer  question. 
I  am  simply  in  complete  revolt 
against  the  system. 

For  a  while  I  fought  the  battle 
alone.  Why,  how,  what  brought 
Jewish  mothers  into  this  situation? 
Maybe  Dorothy  Thompson  (par- 
don the  expression)  was  right  when 
she  said  Jews  are  just  like  other 
people  only  more  so.  Maybe  it's 
our  nature  to  try  to  do  everything 
bigger,  better,  and  more  than  our 
neighbors,  I  thought.  But  I  don't

believe  it.  Probably  the  non-Jewish 
community  does  the  same  sort  of 
thing.  If  so,  then  all  mothers  arc- 
in  the  same  boat,  and  we  all  are 
about  to  be  sunk  in  the  seas  of 
ennui,  boredom,  and  bankruptcy. 

What  happens  is  this.  Your 
daughter  comes  home  one  evening 
and  announces  that  she  is  going 
to  marry  the  young  man  she  has  in 
tow.  If  this  sounds  as  though  you 
don't  know  him,  it  is  entirely 
possible.  She  is  a  pretty  girl,  quick, 
like  her  mother,  and  there  have 
been  boys  coming  and  going  since 
you  can  remember.  This  one  looks 
a  little  more  familiar  than  most, 
and  since  you  can  remember  that 
his  name  is  Leonard,  it  is  obvious 
that  you  have  met  him  before. 

After  the  first  shock  is  over,  the 
rules  call  for  you  to  get  in  touch 
with  the  parents  of  the  boy  and 
tell  them  how  pleased  you  are  that 
he  had  the  brains  to  pick  out  your 
beautiful,  talented  daughter.  There 
is  no  point  in  waiting  to  make  the 
call;  she  is  engaged,  you  just  have 
to  accept  the  horrible  news  with 
as  much  equanimity  as  you  can 
muster.  So  make  the  call.  Much 
to  your  surprise,  you  discover  that 
the  voices  of  the  parents  on  the 
other  end  of  the  wire  are  not  filled 
with  the  sounds  of  cymbal  and 
harp.  Here's  the  moment  to  be 
careful,  or  your  bitter  half  will 
get  the  best  of  you.  Remember, 
they  feel  just  as  you  do.  The  same 
thoughts  are  going  through  their 
minds  as  are  going  through  yours. 
"They  are  too  young,  he  has  to 
finish  school,  she's  a  darling  girl, 
but  who  knows  what  kind  of  a  wife 
she'll  make  for  our  Leonard."  The 
second  rule  is  that  every  parent 
has  to  get  used  to  the  idea  of 
his  child's  marriage,  and  this  takes 
more  than  ten  minutes.  There  are 
some  sad  cases  where  nobody  ever 
got  used  to  it. 

As  soon  as  you  hang  up  the 
phone  on  your  future  in-laws,  it 
rings  again.  Your  daughter's  girl 
friends  are  calling.  You  discover 
that  you  are  the  last  to  know 
about  the  important  event.  Every- 
one of  her  friends  has  seen  the  ring 
before  the  future  bride  and  prob- 
ably knew  to  the  minute  when 
Leonard  would  ask  the  question. 
That's  another  characteristic  of 
this  generation.  They  are  commu-

INC. 


By  Alfred  H.  Paul 


During  the  Passover  season  next 
year,  as  for  many  years  in  the  past, 
there  will  be  a  strange  ceremony 
performed  in  our  town.  The  elders 
of  the  Morris  Steet  Shul;  a  congre- 
gation of  extreme  Orthodoxy  de- 
voted to  the  traditions  of  "Nusach 
Ari,"  will  gather  at  Mt.  Hope  ceme- 
tery. The  rendezvous  wiJ!  not  be 
in  one  of  the  sections  of  those 
large  burial  grounds  reserved  for 
the  Jewish  dead  and  consecrated  as 
such,  No.  The  men  with  the  beards 
and  curly  earlocks  will  line  in  front 
of  a  grave.  In  fact,  in  front  of  a 
stone  identified  clearly  as  the  rest- 
ing place  of  a  Christian  minister. 

There,  the  "Nusach  Ari"  men 
will  recite  a  prayer  and  perfom  a 
brief  ceremony.  One  of  them  will 
iay  a  wreath  on  the  grave.  Then 
they  will  disperse.  The  note  attach- 
ed to  the  wreath  will  read,  in  En- 
glish: 

In  grateful  memory  to  Rever- 
end Otto  Schluegel  from  the 
Congregation  of  the  Brother- 
hood of  Those  who  Worship 
In  the  Tradition  of  Ari. 

In  Hebrew  lettering,  the  same 
legend  will  be  repeated.  And,  in 
Hebrew,  there  will  be  added  the 
words:  "May  His  Soul  Rest  in 
Peace,  Amen." 

Few  Christians  in  out  town 
know  the  reason  for  this  annual 
ceremony.  I  think  that  few  of  to- 
day's members  of  the  "Nusach  Ari" 
congregation  know  exactly  why 
this  ceremony  is  observed.  The  di- 
rect participants  —  like  my  father, 
and  old  Reb  Meirson  —  are  gone 


Dr.  Saul  Blatman,  former  chief 
resident  at  Babies  Hospital,  Colum- 
bia-Presbyterian Medical  Center,  has 
taken  over  duties  as  chief  of  pedia- 
trics at  the  free-care,  nonsectarian 
National  Jewish  Hospital  in  Denver. 


now.  I'll  recall  the  story.  As  a 
child,  I  observed  the  events  which, 
later,  resulted  in  a  resolution  en- 
tered upon  the  formal  archives  of 
"Nusach  Ari"  congregation,  call- 
ing for  strict  observance  of  this 
ritual  every  year,  on  a  Sunday  dur- 
ing the  Passover  season,  "As  long 
as  our  Holy  Congregation  shall 
last,  Amen." 

It  all  goes  back  to  "The  Strike," 
a  labor  union  event  that  shook  our 
town  to  its  very  foundations  for 
about  18  months  ending  the  day 
after  Labor  Day  in  1913.  A  young 
man  named  Sam  Stillman,  a  cutter 
in  a  men's  clothing  factory  in 
Chicago,  had  organized  a  new 
trade  union  —  today,  we  call  that 
type  of  organization  "industrial 
unionism."  Into  his  union,  he  en- 
rolled large  numbers  of  clothing 
workers.  That  was  in  Chicago.  The 
center  of  the  industry,  however, 
was  in  our  town.  Unless  he  succeed- 
ed in  organizing  the  men's  cloth- 
ing workers  in  our  town,  his  union 
would  not  last.  Sam  Stillman  knew 
that.  With  a  handful  of  organizers

Rosh  Hashonah  Among  The 
American  Indians 

By  Ben  Schocher 


Well,  this  was  going  to  be  a 
different  Rosh  Hashonah  anyway. 
I  wondered  what  my  wife  would 
say  when  I  told  her  I  spent  Rosh 
Hashonah  among  the  American 
Indians.  All  around  me  as  far  as 
the  eye  could  see  there  were  nothing 
but  Indians  and  maybe  a  few  buf- 
faloes. Of  course,  the  Indians  don't 
live  as  bunched  up  as  the  whites, 
but  within  the  distance  of  my  eyes, 
I  could  see  at  least  four  or  five 
wigwams. 

I  wondered  what  tribe  of  Indians 
inhabited  this  area,  but  soon  I  saw 
an  Indian  coming  along.  I  would 
ask  him.  Then  I  reminded  myself 
I  didn't  know  any  of  the  Indian 
language,  but  I  thought  I  would 
try  some  of  the  American  words 
derived  from  Indian.  Succotash, 
moccasins,  Tammany  Hall,  I  said. 

The  Indian  looked  at  me  puzzled. 
I  saw  I  had  muffed. 

"Shana  Tova,"  I  said  desparing- 
ly,  turning  to  Hebrew. 

"Gam  Atem,"  he  replied  in  per- 
fect Hebrew. 

"Are  you  Jeioisli?"  I  asked. 

"Indians  Jewish?"  he  replied, 
"Indians  lost  ten  tribes." 

Well,  we  soon  got  into  quite  a 
conversation.  He  proved  a  very 
affable  Indian.  He  told  me  his 
name  was  Tomochichi.  I  told  him 
I  had  some  relations  from  Poland 
named  Tomoski,  but  he  said  he 
didn't  think  they  were  related. 

I  told  him  I  thought  he  ought 
to  Americanize  his  name.  With  a 
name  like  Tomachichi,  they  would 
think  him  a  foreigner.  He  ought 
to  change  his  name  to  Thompson. 
That  was  a  good  American  name. 
In  Cleveland,  I  said,  a  leading 
plumbing  firm  was  the  Thompson 
Company.  I  said  some  of  my  rela- 
tives, the  Tomoskis,  changed  their 
names  to  Thompson,  but  a  few 
called  themselves  Cadwallader. 

He  told  me  he  had  often  thought 
of  doing  that  —  of  changing  his 
name  and  becoming  American  but 
he  understood  all  the  Americans 
were  immigrants,  so  he  would  have 
to  first  go  to  Europe  and  then 
migrate  to  America  and  he  didn't 
have  time  for  all  of  that. 

He  said  if  I  had  nothing  better 
to  do,  he  would  be  glad  to  have 
me  come  down  to  his  wigwam. 
His  squaw,  he  said,  had  just  fetched 
a  jug  of  firewater  for  Kiddush  for 


Rosh  Hashonah,  and  we  might 
sample  it. 

It  was  real  good  stuff.  His  squaw 
had  gotten  it  and  two  blankets  in 
exchange  for  some  skins.  He  poured 
the  liquor  out  in  two  cups  and, 
raising  his  own  cup,  said,  "May 
it  be  a  good  year.  May  all  catch 
plenty  of  buffaloes." 

I  said,  "Tomachichi,  you  say  the 
Indians  are  the  lost  tribes.  How 
can  you  say  that  when  you  don't 
keep  our  religion?" 

"Pale  faces,"  said  Tomachichi, 
"always  talk  about  keeping  religion. 
They  keep  it  locked  up.  Religion 
was  made  to  be  lived  —  used.  In- 
dians live  religion." 

"Tomachichi,  but  Indians  don't 
live  our  religion." 

"Indians,"  said  Tomachichi, 
"worship  Great  Spirit,  same  as  you." 

"But  you  don't  keep  the  Sabbath 
as  a  rest  day,"  I  said. 

"Indians,"  said  Tomachichi,  "rest 
on  Saturday,  rest  on  Sunday,  rest 
on  Monday.  Indians  believe  in  rest. 
Indians  no  believe  in  work.  No 
slaves  to  labor  like  pale  faces." 

He  pointed  to  a  horn,  hanging 
on  the  Avail.  "Shofar  lor  Rosh 
Hashonah,"  he  said. 

As  we  were  sitting  inside  and 
talking,  I  could  hear  sounds  which 
grew  louder  and  louder. 

"Indians  dancing"  I  questioned. 

"Yes,"  said  Tomachichi,  "Indians 
a  ways  dance." 

"The  Hassidim  among  the  Jews," 
I  said,  "dance  at  their  prayers." 

"Yes,"  said  Tomachichi,  "Indians 
real  Hassidim.  Come  .  .  .  let's  go 
out  and  see  Indians  dance." 

We  went  out  and  stood  watching. 
Tomachichi  was  smiling  and  it  was 
a  very  happy  scene,  when  all  of 
a  sudden,  an  Indian  runner  came 
up  to  Tomachichi,  and  you  could 
see  a  different  look  on  his  face. 
"What's  the  matter?"  I  asked. 

"They  have  brought  the  holiday 
meal." 

From  a  distance,  I  saw  a  couple 
of  Indians  leading  a  pale  face.  Very 
plainly  he  was  to  be  boiled  for  a 
holiday  meal. 

"Don't,"  I  cried.  "You  mustn't 
do  that." 

Boy,  was  I  glad,  when  my  wife 
tugged  at  me.  "How  long  are  you 
going  to  sleep?  It's  time  to  go  to 
the  synagogue,  you  know.  It's  Rosh 
Hashonah.

Joseph  Saphir,  Chairman  of  the 
Executive  of  the  General  Zionist 
Party  in  Israel  who  from  1953  to 
the  middle  of  1,:>55  sat  in  the 
Israel  Cabinet  as  Minister  of 
Transport  and  is  at  present  a 
member  of  the  Knesset,  is  now 
visiting  in  the  United  Slates.  Mr. 
Saphir,  a  dynamic  personality  of 
brilliant  intellectual  qualities  and 
a  born  leader,  is  a  native  Israeli, 
a  "sabra"  of  the  fourth  genera- 
tion, who  looks  much  younger 
than  his  57  years.  He  is  the  father 
of  two  daughters  and  has  two 
grandchildren.  P>y  profession  he  is 
a  citrus-grower  and  farmer.  He 
is  a  resident  of  Petach-Tikva,  now 
a  city  of  50,000  population  where 
he  was  mayor  for  ten  years.  A 
graduate  of  the  Teachers'  Col- 
lege in  Jerusalem,  he  his  written 
many  articles  on  economic,  agri- 
cultural and  municipal  problems 
for  the  Israel  press.  Mr.  Saphir  is 
now  a  member  of  the  Finance 
Committee  of  the  Knesset  and 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  Israel 
Farmers'  Federation.  T  h  o  u  g  h 
never  brought  up,  never  having 
even  studied  in  an  English-speak- 
ing country,  he  speaks  a  perfect 
English  with   an   Oxford  accent. 

In  a  recent  interview,  he  un- 
ravelled before  me  the  seemingly 
complex  economic  problem  which 
the  State  of  Israel  faces  today  and 
will  face  tomorrow7  and  how  the 
General  Zionists  believe  the  prob- 
lem should  be  met.  The  general 
impression  I  gathered  from  this 
interview  was  that  the  General 
Zionists,  alone  among  the  parties 
in  Israel,  might  als<>  be  called  the 
Party  of  Economic  Independence. 
As  the  interview  progressed,  Mr 
Saphir,  a  man  who  can  not  only 
think  quickly  but  also  clearly  and 
logically,  clarified  much  that  seem- 
ed puzzling  about  Israeli  economic 
life. 

We  began  with  the  problem 
posed  by  the  present  mass  im- 
migration of  Romanian  Jews  into 
Israel.  What,  I  asked  him,  are 
responsibilities  of  American  and 
other  Diaspora  Jews  in  this  con- 
nection and  what  t*re  the  respon- 
sibilities of  the  Government  of 
Israel?  Here  is  what  Mr.  Saphir 
said: 

"Mass  immigration  of  Jews  is 
a  mutual  undertaking  or  Israel 
and  world  Jewry,  and  the  World 
Zionist  Organization  has  a  specific 
responsibility  for  integrating  and 


establishing  the  immigrants.  The 
functions  of  both  partners  must 
be  coordinated  il  this  gigantic 
task  is  to  be  carried  out  properly. 
World  Jewry  and  its  largest  and 
most  powerful  component,  Amer 
ican  Jewry,  must  carry  its  share 
of  the  burden,  especially  in  times 
like  these  when  the  wave  of  im- 
migration is  so  large  as  to  be  be- 
yond the  capacity  of  the  existing 
economy  of  Israel  to  absorb  the 
immigrants  without  great  distor- 
tions in  the  economic  set-up." 

"On  the  other  h  a  n  d,"  he 
thought,  it  is  the  duty  of  Israel 
to  adopt  such  a  framework  ol 
economy  as  will,  with  the  aid  of 
world  Jewry,  permit  the  inte- 
gration of  '.he  immigrants  with 
a  minimum  of  sacrifice  and  waste. 
Thus  the  re-adjustment  of  the 
Israel  economy  is  also  important 
if  we  are  to  cure  the  inevitable 
ailments  of  an  expanding  economy 
in  a  rapidly  developing  country. 

"During  the  first  decade  of  Is- 
rael's existence  the  smooth  ab- 
sorption of  masses  of  immigrants 
into  the  country's  economy  was 
virtually  impossible,  because  die 
economic  basis  was  verv  limited 
and  weak:  there  were  then  re- 
quired very  costly  initial  invest- 
ments to  create  initial  conditions 
for  the  operation  of  an  economic 
frame-work.  But  today,  if  proper- 
ly conducted,  die  existing  econom- 
ic potential  is  already  sufficiently 
wide  and  deep  to  serve  as  a  good 
recipient  for  additional  immigra- 
tion, if  aided  by  world  Jewry.  If 
the  economy  is  properly  run,  wc 
can  now  create  in  Israel  work  op- 
portunities at  a  considerably  small- 
er expense,  with  a  much  smaller 
investment  of  public  funds  than 
was  the  case  formerly.  This  will 
depend  on  the  kind  of  govern- 
ment Israel  gets,"  said  the  Israel 
leader. 

Why  do  .'he  General  Zionists  in 
Israel  so  vigorously  oppose  the 
economic  policy  of  the  present 
Mapai-Histadrut-dcmiinatet!  gov- 
ernment? Why  did  thev  refuse  to 
enter  into  a  coalition  with  Mapai 
after  the  'as'  parliamentary  elec- 
tions? Was  it  just  mere  deviltrv 
on  their  pair,  just  for  the  pleas- 
ure of  being  "agin'  the  gov'nment?" 
Mr.  Saphir  went  on: 

"We  General  Zionists  say  that 
in  order  to  make  the  immigrants' 
absorption  smoother,  sounder, 
healthier,  we  must  use  every  pound

of  money  from  Zionist  and  general 
Jewish  funds  and  from  the  Is- 
raeli budget  so  as  to  employ  the 
maximum  of  Jews  on  every  unit 
of  investment  by  selecting  those 
agricultural  and  industrial  pro- 
ducts where  we  can  get  die  maxi- 
mum of  real  values  from  a  unit 
of  land  or  a  unit  ot  manufacturing 
equipment.  If  we  intend  to  absorb 
immigrants  in  undertakings  which 
.ire  not  profitable  or  unsound  we 
defeat  our  own  purposes. 

"To  attach  the  immigrants  to 
die  existing  economy,  we'll  need 
a  lot  of  private  capital  in  addi- 
tion to  the  public  funds.  This 
new  flow  of  capital  needed, 
especially  in  the  present  interim 
period  not  so  much  for  basic 
investment  but  as  working  capital 
lor  existing  and  expanding  in- 
dustry. We  must  have  a  flow  of 
private  capit-'!  to  enable  basic  in- 
vestments to  become  efficient,  to 
run  smooth  lv,  wihout  too  high 
public  subsidies. 

"If  we  are  to  prevent  crises," 
he  continued,  "our  immigrants 
must  be  employed  mainly  in  in 
dustries  which  have  a  capital  for 
export.  To  sustain  a  population 
of  four  million  Jews,  as  we  hope 
to  have  in  Israel  in  the  years  to 
come,  you  have  to  produce  in- 
dustrially to  pay  for  needed  im- 
ports, food,  raw  materials,  etc.  11 
our  industry  is  to  be  geared  to 
export,  we  must  encourage  those 
industries  which  have  an  advan- 
tage, or  can  at  least  compete  on 
equal  terms,  in  the  world  market. 
Only  in  this  way  will  we  achieve 
both  the  sound  integration  of 
immigrants  into  the  economy  and 
economic  independence.  Mapai 
claims  that  the  two  things  are 
contradictory.  We,  on  the  other 
hand,  say  they  are  complement- 
ary." 

The  Mapai-Hist  jdrut  school  of 
thought  argues  that  Israel  is  in 
permanent  danger  of  an  economic 
blockade,  and  muse  therefore  pro- 
vide all  her  food  from  her  own 
production— even  if  this  means 
producing  at  an  exorbitantly  high 
cost  relatively  to  the  world  market 
price  of  the  item  concerned.  1 
asked  Mr.  Saphir  what  he  thought 
of  this. 

"I  claim  diat  this  attitude  is 
putting  the  Israel  economy  per- 
manently on  a  war  footing— and 
that  this  is  absurd,"  he  replied. 
"We  must  take  the  risk  of  a  short 
period  of  regional  war,  or  even  a 
more  lengthy  period  of  global  war 


into  account.  But  alter  all  possible 
allowances  for  this  lisk,  it  remains 
essential  that  we  build  our  econ- 
omy and  select  our  agricultural 
branches  on  the  solid  basis  of 
i heir  competitive  anility,  i.e.,  their 
capacity  !o  1  eep  prices  low  both 
lor  the  domestic  market  and  for 
export,  yer  10  produce  the  highest 
return  possibie  in  real  values." 

What  Mr.  Saphir  meant,  to  say 
here  was  that  the  General  Zion- 
ists, like  Mapai,  like  the  other 
parties  in  Israel,  realize  that  na- 
tional security  mu:,*  take  priority 
over  economic  efficiency,  so  that 
the  border  settlements,  as  an  ex- 
ample, though  thev  be  economic- 
ally inefficient  and  require  public 
subsidy,  do  serve  a  vital  national 
purpose.  But  they  do  not  agree 
that  other,  old-established  collec- 
tive settlements  situated  away  from 
the  frontier  whose  economy  is 
run  at  a  loss  must  be  publicly  sub- 
sidized, supported  either  by  public 
contributions  or  by  tax  exemp- 
tions, though  they  serve  no  specific 
public  purpose  anymore. 

Mr.  Saphir  gave  me  some  glar- 
ing examples  of  economic  waste, 
unprofitable  production  and  So- 
cialist economy  in  Israel.  For  in- 
stance, a  steel  industry  is  being 
set  up  in  Israel  in  which  some 
100  million  pounds  will  be  in 
vested.  "I  don't  think  that  Ave  are 
or  shall  ever  be  in  a  position  to 
compete  with  old-established  steel 
producing  countries,  which  have 
more-over  easier  access  to  raw  ma- 
terial sources,  a  large  domestic 
market  and  plentiful  low-interest

The  Frank  Lloyd  Wright  Synagogue: 
Its  Significance 


By  Philip  Rubin 


Elkins  Park,  Pa.,  is  one  of  many 
suburbs  which  ring  the  great  city 
of  Philadelphia.  Because  of  a  syna- 
gogue which  was  recently  erected 
there,  Elkins  Park  is  becoming  a 
particular  point  of  interest  for  all 
American  Jews.  The  synagogue  is 
that  of  Congregation  Beth  Sholom, 
formerly  located  in  Philadelphia 
proper.  It  was  designed  and  fin- 
ished, just  before  his  death  last 
April  in  his  ninetieth  year,  by 
Frank  Lloyd  Wright,  the  world's 
most  famous  architect  of  the  twen- 
tieth century,  the  pioneer  of 
modern  architecture  whose  every 
building  aroused  greater  discussion, 
greater  admiration  —  and  also 
greater  antagonism  —  than  any 
structure  that  would  be  erected  by 
any  other  master  builder.  In  de- 
signing this  synagogue,  Wright  was 
aided  by  the  rabbi  of  the  congrega- 
tion, Dr.  Mortimer  J.  Cohen,  well- 
known  in  American  Jewish  life  as 
a  Conservative  rabbi  and  author 
of  scholarly  Jewish  books,  who  first 
thought  of  getting  Wright  to  do 
the  building,  who  worked  with  him 
on  it  for  about  six  years  and  whose 
help  in  the  design  Wright  had 
publicly  acknowledged. 

As  might  have  been  expected  by 
anyone  at  all  acquainted  with 
Frank  Lloyd  Wright's  work,  this 
new  synagogue  is  vastly  different 
from  anything  we  have  hitherto 
seen  in  synagogue  architecture. 
What  are  the  ideas  behind  it? 
What  does  it  symbolize?  Here  is 
what  Wright  himself  had  to  say: 

"At  last  a  great  symbol!  Rabbi 
Mortimer  J.  Cohen  gave  me  the 
idea  of  a  synagogue  as  a  'traveling 
Mt.  Sinai  —  a  mountain  of  light.' 
We  chose  white  glass.  Let  God 
put  his  colors  on.  He's  the  great 
artist.  When  the  weather  is  sunny, 
the  temple  will  glitter  like  gold. 
At  night,  under  the  moon,  it  will 
be  silvery.  On  a  gray  day  it  will 
be  gray.  When  the  heavens  are 
blue,  there  will  be  a  soft  blue  over 
it.  And  when  you  go  into  a  place 
of  worship,  you  ought  to  feel  as 
if  you  were  in  the  hands  of  God." 

And  so  the  plan  of  Wright's 
$1,300,000  Beth  Sholom  Synagogue 
is  hexagonal  in  shape,  like  a  pair 
of  hands  cupper  around  the  con- 
gregation. Side  ramps  emerge  at 
prowlike  corner  buttresses  into  the 
main  hall,  which  seats  1,040  persons. 


The  interior  rises  over  80  feet  in 
a  great  translucent  tent  of  cor- 
rugated plastic  and  glass;  from  the 
top  of  the  tripod  structure  hangs 
a  single  chandelier  of  brilliant 
colored  glass  trimmed  with  spiky 
incandescent  lights.  Viewed  from 
outside,  the  new  synagogue,  rising 
like  a  mountain  of  light,  is  a  huge 
triangular  form  of  glass,  aluminum 
and  concrete,  upon  which  are 
groups  of  menorahs  with  their 
seven-branched  lighting  facing  you 
from  every  direction,  ready  to  cast 
their  glow  toward  the  sky  at  night. 
The  glass  and  plastic  tent  —  the 
roof,  if  you  like,  which  rises  above 
the  concrete  base,  is  almost  pyra- 
midal shaped,  while  in  the  interior 
triangularity  is  everywhere  empha- 
sized. 

The  synagogue  structure  has  al- 
ready been  photographed  and  de- 
scribed in  Time  Magazine,  in 
Architectural  Forum,  and  in  Life, 
and  in  the  future  probably  many 
other  publications,  large  and 
small,  general,  architectural  and 
Jewish,  will  devote  attention  to  it. 
It  was  the  last  building  which 
Wright  managed  to  see  completed 
before  his  death.  (The  interior  cm 
the  Guggenheim  Art  Museum  in 
New  York  City,  which  Wright  also 
designed  and  which  has  been  the 
subject  of  many  discussions  was  not 
completed  at  the  time  of  the  great 
architect's  demise.)  A  New  York 
Times  critic  said  that  the  Beth 
Sholom  synagogue  structure  is 
"more  exuberant  than  anything 
Wright  has  done  in  the  last  thirty 
years." 

I  have  visited  the  new  synagogue 
and  have  been  tremendously  im-

Left  to  Riglit:  Mrs.  Sarah  Prashker,  Mrs.  Hajnalka  Winer,  Miss  Nette

pressed  by  it.  I  believe  it's  the  most 
beautiful  synagogue  in  the  country 
today.  But  then  I  have  for  many 
years  been  an  admirer  of  Wright's 
art.  There  are  people  who  are  ir- 
ritated by  it,  who  find  its  modern 
contours  too  angular,  too  harsh. 
A  Zionist  leader  who  saw  it  charac- 
terized it  to  me  as  a  "monstros- 
ity." All  modernistic  art  —  painting, 
sculpture  and  music,  as  well  as 
architecture  —  is  a  controversial 
subject,  a  matter  on  which  there 
is  a  great  division  of  opinion  among 
art  connoisseurs. 

But  whether  thrilled  or  repelled 
one  cannot  remain  indifferent. 
Even  those  who  don't  like  the 
shape  of  Wright's  synagogue  struc- 
ture are  forced  to  pay  attention  to 
it,  for  a  number  of  reasons.  And 
herein  lies  its  great  significance  for 
the  future  of  synagogue  architec- 
ture, not  only  in  this  country,  but 
in  other  lands  as  well.  Since  it  is 
so  original,  so  different,  the  work 
of  a  great  genius  in  architecture, 
of  a  man  who  upon  his  death  was 
hailed  by  fellow-architects  as  an 
"immortal,"  the  "Michelangelo  of 
the  Twentieth  Century,"  an  archi-

tect  "who  swept  across  the  face  of 
the  land  like  some  vast  force  bend- 
ing both  men  and  nature  to  his 
will,"  the  first  thing  it  does  is  to 
awaken  in  us  an  interest  in  the 
whole  subject  of  synagogue  archi- 
tecture, an  interest  which  hitherto 
has  been  almost  non-existent, 
though  for  many  years  now  we've 
been  building  lavish  synagogue 
structures. 

Ought  synagogues  to  be  built  in 
traditional  or  in  modern  style?  If 
your  answer  is  traditional,  then  the 
question  comes  up:  Is  there  really 
a  tradition  of  synagogue  architec- 
ture, or  were  Jews  during  the  cen- 
turies in  building  their  synagogues 
only  copying  the  building  styles  of 
their  non- Jewish  neighbors?  The 
traditionalists,  I  believe,  would 
have  a  better  argument  if  we  at 
least  had  some  idea  of  the  architec- 
ture of  the  Temple  of  Solomon. 
After  the  destruction  of  the  Temple 
in  Jerusalem  we  lost  the  design 
and  were  thereafter  unable  to 
develop  a  tradition  of  synagogue 
uniquely  Jewish,  and  nothing  else. 

Has  Frank  Lloyd  Wright,  in  de- 
signing Beth  Sholom  for  us,  given 
us  some  standard,  or  standards,  for 
the  synagogue  architecture  of  the 
future?  Is  the  Mt.  Sinai  motif  the 
proper  one  for  architects  to  follow 
in  designing  Jewish  religious  struc- 
tures? Or  the  cupped  hands  to 
God? 

If  only  because  it  raises  these  and 
other  questions,  the  new  structure 
of  Congregation  Beth  Sholom,  how- 
ever we  may  react  to  it,  is  of  great 
significance,  and  American  Jews 
are  indebted  to  Rabbi  Mortimer 
J.  Cohen  for  prevailing  upon 
Frank  Lloyd  Wright  to  design  it.

Ray  of  Hope  In  The  Tunis  Ghetto

who  wish  to  improve  their  occupa- 
tions. It  is  thrilling  to  watch  the 
serious  determination  with  which 
men  40  years  old  study  for  exami- 
nations as  technical  draftsmen,  ra- 
dio repairmen,  electricians  or  weld- 
ers. 

For  the  moment,  economic  stag- 
nation and  the  paucity  of  industrial 
enterprises  prevents  many  gradu- 
ates of  ORT  from  finding  employ- 
ment in  Tunis  proper.  Because  of 
this,  many  are  driven  to  emigrate. 


From  the  suburbs  of  Paris  or  Mar- 
sielles,  where  they  have  settled  in 
whole  colonies,  they  send  back  a 
steady  flow  of  money  order  remit- 
tances that  keep  whole  families 
alive. 

Gradually,  the  social  level  of  the 
hara  rises.  Most  important,  the  Jews 
have  the  possibility  of  spreading 
into  the  town  ...  or  abroad.  Thus 
they  escape  from  the  ancient,  stifl- 
ing ghetto. 


The  Ultimate  Cruelty

own  theory  about  the  fate  of  the     of  Nazi  brutality.  Some  years  ago, 
six  million.  Writing  in  "Common 


Sense,"  May  1,  1955,  under  the 
heading,  "Six  Million  Jew  Hoax," 
Freedman  plays  the  numbers  game 
to  suggest  that  there  are  millions 
more  Jews  in  the  United  States 
than  Jews  admit.  "The  difference 
in  these  figures,"  he  writes,  "ap- 
proximates the  6,000,000  so-called 
'Jews'  allegedly  put  to  death  in 
furnaces  and  in  gas  chambers  be- 
tween 1939  and  1945.  .  .  ."(Freed- 
man always  puts  quotation  marks 
around  the  word  "Jews"  because, 
he  claims,  today's  Jews  are  irn- 
posters,  really  descended  from  a 
tenth  century  "Kingdom  of  Kha- 
/ars"  in  Eastern  Europe.) 

Freedman  offers  a  dubious  ex- 
planation of  why  many  Jewish  or 
ganizations  opposed  inclusion  in 
the  United  States  census  of  a  ques- 
tion about  religion.  They  opposed 
it,  he  says,  in  order  to  difsgrace  the 
fact  that  "allegedly  put  to  death" 
Jews  are  now  in  the  United  States. 

The  notion  that  the  six  million 
are  now  in  the  United  States  is 
echoed  by  anti-Semite  Lincoln 
Rockwell  of  Arlington,  Virginia, 
who  says  that  many  of  them  "later 
died  happily  and  richly  in  the 
Bronx,  New  York"  and  the  whole 
thing  is  "a  monstrous  and  profit- 
able fraud." 

The  effort  to  deny  the  existence 
of  the  six  million  started  when 
former  Nazis,  still  active  in  Ger- 
many, sought  to  erase  the  memory 


neo-Nazi  school  teacher  [ohann 
Strunk  of  Dusseldorf  printed  a 
handbill  "Did  Hitler  Really  De 
stroy  Six  Million  Jews?"  (Strunk 
has  several  times  been  penalized 
by  West  German  authorities  for 
hrs  crimes.)  Strunk  and  others 
have  found  cooperation  among 
like-minded  people  throughout 
the  world. 

In  the  Jordanian  section  ol 
Jerusalem,  anti- Jewish  propagan- 
dist Antoine  F.  Albina  wrote  an 
article,  "Spotlight  on  the  Poor 
6,000,000  Dead  Jews,"  which  has 
been  picked  up  and  distributed 
by  anti-Semites  from  Einar  Aberg 
in  Sweden,  to  Gerald  K.  Smith  in 
in  Los  Angeles,  to  the  South  Afri- 
can Anglo-Nordic  Union.  Albina, 
who  calls  his  hate  mill  "World 
Truth,"  starts  off:  "Since  1945  the 
Gentile  world  has  not  for  one 
moment  been  allowed  to  forget  the 
6,000,000  alleged  to  have  been  kill- 
ed by  Hitler  in  World  War  II. 
Even  memorials  have  been  erected 
to  commemorate  these  6,000,000 
'dead'   Jews.  .  .  ." 

It  concludes:  "In  other  words, 
the  whole  story  of  the  6,000,000 
dead  Jews  is  pure  fiction."  In  be- 
tween, he  plays  his  own  numbers 
game,  with  extensive  calculations 
based  on  figures  from  the  World 
Almanac  and  from  a  1948  New 
York  Times  study  of  the  Jewish 
population  of  the  world.  (Benja-

the  subject,  quoted  the  same  study 
but  used  a  different  set  ol  figures.) 
Albina's  calculations  defy  analy- 
sis; he  says  that  "as  there  are  now 
only  some  18,000,000  Jews  in  the 
world,  an  increase  of  9,000,000  in 
the  ten  years,  1938-1918,  repre- 
sents a  total  increase  of  popula- 
tion (in  only  ten  years)  of  fifty 
percent— an  impossibility  even  for 
a  race  so  immersed  in  sex  as  the 
Tews." 

This  turgid  reckoning,  with  its 
inaccurate  figures— the  world  Jew- 
ish population  is  generally  esti- 
mated at  about  12,000,000  today- 
;ipparently  so  impressed  Gerald 
!,.  K.  Smith  that  he  reprinted  it 
twice  in  his  "Cross  and  the  Flag." 
In  the  March,  1959  issue,  it  ap- 
pears with  the  introductions:  "We 
are  indebted  to  Antoine  R.  Albina 
of  Jerusalem,  Jordan,  for  a  very 
shrewd  analysis.  .  ."  Two  months 
later,  May,  1959,  the  South  Afri- 
can Anglo-Nordic  Union  for  pub- 
lishing a  very  telling  survey  con- 
(ering  the  falsehood  about  the 
six  million  Jews.  .  .  ." 

James   Madole,    in    New  York, 
'.  suggested    that   some   of   the  six 
million  were  really  in  the  Gaza 
strip.    But    propagandist  Albina, 
operating  out  of  Jordanian  Jeru- 
salem,   not   too   far   from  Gaza, 
shares  with   Breedman.  Rockwell 
I  and  others  the  theorv  tint  they're 
I  all  in  the  United  States.  He  quotes 
I  with  approval  the  1952  '•tatemenl 
of    one    W.    D.    Herrstrom,  an 
American  anti-Semite,  whose  "Bi- 
ble News  Flashes"  had  this  to  say: 


IA.  Whitney  Griswold,  president  of 
Yale  University,  was  designated  re- 
cipient of  the  1959  Universal  Brother- 
hood Medal  by  The  Jewish  Theologi- 
cal Seminary  of  America,  i,t  was  an- 
nounced by  Oscar  Dane,  chairman  of 
this  year's  annual  Brotherhood  din- 
ner which  was  held  on  Sunday,  May 
17,  at  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Hotel  in 
New  York.  Mrs.  Eleanor  Roosevelt 
was  the  other  recipient. 


"Senator  Pat  McCarran  says 
there  are  more  than  5,000,000 
aliens  in  this  country  who  got  in 
'illegally.'  He  doesn't  say  who  they 
are  but  most  'informed'  people 
believe  that  most  of  them  are 
Jews  .  .  No  use  looking  in  Shick 
elgruber's  ovens  for  them.  Walk 
down  the  streets  of  any  American 
city.  There  they  are." 

This  bit  of  fantasy  apparently 
caught  up  with  Gerald  L.  K. 
Smith's  "Cross  and  the  Flag"  late. 
The  notion  that  the  six  million 
are  in  the  United  States  appears 
in  its  June,  1959  issue  under  a 
heading  of  barbaric  flippancy: 
"Into  the  Valley  of  Death  Rode 
the  Six  Million.  Or  Did  They? 
Conde  McGinley  reprinted  the 
Herrstrom  item  back  in  1952. 

In  the  past  few  weeks,  this  line 
has  been  used  with  ever  greater 
frequency.  McGinley,  in  "Common 
Sense,"  prints  an  item  "From  our 
Asian  Correspondent"  which  of- 
fers a  brand  new  set  of  unrelated 
figures.  Others  come  closer  to  a 
semblance  of  truth  when  they  "re- 
veal" that  one  German  concentra- 
tion camp  or  another  had  no  gas 
chamber  on  its  premises.  (Some- 
times the  Nazis,  to  keep  prisoners 
from  rebelling,  concealed  the  fact 
that  they  were  doomed  by  build- 
ing gas  chambers  and  crematoria 
out  of  sight  of  the  camps.)  No 
matter  what  the  twist,  the  cam- 
paign to  deny  the  existence  of  the 
six  million  is  now  in  high  gear. 

How  effective  are  these  tales? 
Despite  the  weird  calculations  in 
this  macabre  number  game,  de- 
spite the  obvious  inhumanity  of

nity  minded.  Except  of  course, 
when  it  comes  to  parents. 

By  now,  you  are  beginning  to  be 
excited.  A  desire  to  share  the  news 
with  your  family  and  friends  takes 
hold,  and  you  make  telephone  calls 
to  tar  off  places  as  though  you 
have  stock  in  A.T.&T.  This  results 
in  some  slight  embarrassment,  since 
the  cousins  you  call  in  Tacoma, 
Washington,  or  Albuquerque,  New 
Mexico  don't  even  remember  you, 
let  alone  your  daughter. 

By  the  next  morning,  the  family 
has  simmered  down  a  little,  but  not 
before  there  is  a  row  between  the 
younger  children  as  to  who  is  going 
to  get  "her"  room  when  she  moves 
out.  They  have  already  divided  up 
those  of  her  possessions  which  she 
has  cherished  for  years:  the  Jap- 
anese umbrella,  the  collection  of 
stuffed  animals,  camp  pennants, 
and  a  strapless  formal  (size  7) 
which  her  younger  sister  (size  14) 
is  determined  to  fit  into  as  soon  as 
possible.  You  make  the  proper  pro- 
nouncements to  the  newspapers; 
you  are  a  good  ,solid  subscriber;  the 
least  they  can  do  is  to  print  it  on 
the  front  page  with  a  banner  head- 
line; you  breathe  a  sigh  of  relief. 
Now  you  are  through  until  the  wed- 
ding, and  that's  a  year  away. 

A  few  short  days  later,  the  leader 
of  the  opposition  calls  you.  She  is 
going  to  give  a  tea  for  your  daugh- 
ter. The  rules  call  for  a  tea  and 
she  is  going  to  follow  the  rules.  I 
have  nothing  against  teas,  as  such. 
I  realize  that  it  is  a  way  to  enter- 
tain a  lot  of  people  all  at  the  same 
time  without  mortgaging  your  life 
away.  As  a  public  function,  they 
are  fine.  But  as  a  vehicle  for  intro- 
ducing you  and  your  daughter  to 
595  people,  560  of  whom  you'll 
never  see  again,  I  say  fie  to  Emily 
Post  and  "feh"  to  teas. 

If  you  think  that  the  'tea"  in 
question  has  any  resemblance  to 
the  ancient  custom  of  sitting  down 
with  a  cup  of  tea  to  discuss  the 
questions  of  the  day  as  did  our 
forefathers,  let  me  give  you  the  pan- 
oramic view.  Equipped  as  we  are 
with  all  the  modern  conveniences, 
including  electrical  gadgets  of  every 
size  and  shape,  family  rooms,  silver 
tea  services  and  platters  without 
end,  it  has  become  de  rigeur  to  take 
the  "tea"  out.  A  hotel  with  an  in- 
timate dining  room  (about  as  inti- 
mate as  the  waiting  room  in  a  train 
depot)  is  the  answer.  As  the  mother 
of  the  bride,  you  arrive  early,  dress- 
ed to  kill  in  beige  chiffon,  dyed-to- 


from  Page  70) 

match  shoes,  and  tight  girdle.  No- 
tice the  words— dressed  to  kill,  dyed- 
to-match  shoes.  Before  the  after- 
noon is  over  you  are  hoping  for 
only  one  thing:  a  merciful  end  to 
your  misery.  You  stand  beside  your 
daughter,  who  is  completely  dis- 
gusted with  the  way  you  look, 
flanked  by  the  groom's  mother, 
grandmother,  and  a  visiting  aunt. 
The  tea  table  stretches  in  front  of 
you  like  one  of  Sam  Goldwyn's 
movie  spectaculars  in  color.  My 
hostess  is  no  fool.  Diet  or  no  diet, 
the  girls  like  to  eat,  and  she  is  pre- 
pared for  any  eventuality,  including 
drought  or  a  general  strike.  Cookies, 
candy,  nuts,  fruit  salad,  sandwich 
loaves,  cream  puffs,  petit  fours  and

I  now  understand  the  meaning  of 
Dante's  Inferno.  There  is  a  slight 
lull  while  the  guests  eat,  appraise 
each  others'  costumes,  the  amount 
of  money  spent  on  the  tea,  and  the 
chances  of  both  families  getting 
along  in  the  future.  Then  the  whole 
business  begins  all  over  again  as 
they  leave,  much  too  slowly. 


An  inkling  of  what  is  to  come, 
however,  seeps  through  the  miasma. 
In  the  days  ahead  you  will  attend 
24  showers  (and  yoti  fell  one  was 
more  than  enough);  13  luncheons, 
and  three  small  dinner  parties,  the 
latter  with  understanding  friends 


who  felt  your  husbands  should  be 
included  in  the  festivities.  Your 
daughter  will  have  collected  a  mag- 
nificent trousseau,  including  twelve 
place  settings  of  anything  you  can 
name.  She  will  have  lost  ten  pounds 
and  you  will  have  gained  ten 
pounds.  You  will  have  said  thank 
you  so  often  that  it  will  have  lost 
its  meaning;  and  you  are  obligated 
lor  i  lie  rest  of  your  life,  since  the 
only  decent  thing  is  to  do  the  same 
for  everyone  else's  children.  Oddly 
enough,  you  really  want  to  do  it, 
and  you  are  truly  grateful  for  the 
beautiful  parties  given  for  your 
child,  bin  .  .  .  there  must  be  an 
easier  way!

Jennie  still  had  an  intense  de- 
sire for  an  edncation.  After  work- 
ng  hard  all  day  in  the  factory, 
,he  went  to  night  school.  During 
.he  summer,  when  there  were  no 
rlasses,  she  would  change  from 
ler  working  clothes  to  children's 
apparel  and  then  join  the  other 
voungsters  at  play  in  the  crowded, 
pushcart-lined  streets. 

A  touching  climax  to  Jennie's

On  May  25,  1912,  Jennie  mar- 
ried her  cousin,  Harry  Grossinger. 
Not  long  after  the  wedding,  her 
lather  decided  to  open  a  restau- 
rant on  the  East  Side.  The  Gross- 
ngers  never  turned  away  some- 
one who  asked  for  something  to 
eat.  "No  one  must  ever  go  away 
hungry,"  said  Malka  Grossinger,

not  a  success,  and  things  turned 
from  bad  to  worse  when  Selig 
Grossinger's  health  began  to  fail.

taking  their  toll. 

Selig's  doctor  advised  him  to 
go  to  the  country;  so,  he  went  to 
Connecticut  the  following  week- 
end to  try  to  find  a  farm  that  would 
be  both  a  home  and  a  source  of 
income.  He  located  a  little  house 
with  some  acreage  that  he  liked, 
so  he  put  a  $25  deposit  on  it. 
Upon  returning  to  New  York,  he 
told  a  friend  what  he'd  done.  The 
friend,  however,  pointed  out  that

his  health. 

Accordingly,  Selig  traveled  to

saw  there.  The  area  reminded  him 
of  the  place  in  which  he  had  lived 
in  Austria.  The  climate,  terrain, 
and  other  qualities  -were  similar. 
He  was  also  impressed  with  what 
the  inhabitants  told  him  about 
that  section  of  the  Catskills. 

So,  he  started  a  new  search.  He 
finally  found  an  old  seven-room 
farmhouse  with  50  acres  of  land 
in  Ferndale,  N.  Y.  His  family 
pooled  its  resources  and  put  down 
a  deposit  of  $450.  The  $25  deposit 
for  the  Connecticut  farm  was  for- 
feited, as  the  people  there  refused 
to  return  the  money. 

Capacity  —  Nine  Boarders 

Pop  and  Mom  came  to  Ferndale 
with  their  son,  Harry,  in  the  win- 
ter of  1913.  That  spring,  Jennie 
and  Lottie  joined  them  to  help 
with  the  farm  work.  They  planned 
to  help  their  parents  establish 
themselves  in  the  country  and 
then  return  to  the  city. 

From  the  beginning,  the  little 
family  was  beset  with  difficulties. 
The  soil  was  not  as  good  as  they'd 
thought.  It  was  not  suitable  for 
productive  farming.  The  family's 
resources  began  to  dwindle.  In 
desperation,  they  sought  a  new 
source  of  income. 

They  knew  that  other  farmers 
in  the  area  were  taking  in 
boarders;  so,  the  Crossingers  de- 
ckled to  take  in  boarders  too. 
The  first  summer,  the  Grossinger 
family  was  host  to  nine  guests, 
who  paid  $9  each  a  week  for  a 
total  of  $81.  The  Grossnegrs  didn't

Boarding  House  Prospers 

The  Grossinger  family  had  at 
last  come  into  its  own.  The  board- 
ing house  began  to  prosper.  In 
1915,  the  little  house  was  filled 
all  summer.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
more  guests  came  than  could  be 
accommodated;  so,  the  Grossinger 
family  put  up  tents  for  them  in 
back  of  the  house. 

Word  about  the  Grossinger  hos- 
pitality, service,  cleanliness,  and 
superb  cooking  was  being  spread 
by  an  increasing  number  of  peo- 
ple. 

Many  of  the  factors  that  had 
been  against  the  Grossinger  family 
in  its  previous  business  venture 
now  became  assets.  For  instance, 
they  had  been  told  that  one  of 
the  reasons  for  the  failure  of  their 
restaurant  was  that  they  were  too 
generous  to  the  poor  people  who 
came  to  them  for  food.  As  Mom 
Grossinger  always  said:  "No  one 
must  ever  go  away  hungry."  Here 
in  the  country,  where  food  was 
cheaper,  they  coidd  afford  to  be 
generous.  Their  experience  in  the 
restaurant  business  helped  them 
prepare  delicious  meals  that  be- 
came the  talk  of  New  York. 

Guests  continued  to  come  to  the 
farmhouse  in  the  autumn,  winter, 
and  spring.  It  was  no  longer  just 
a  summer  vacation  spot;  it, was  a 
year-round  resort.  Business  was 
so  good  that  Jennie's  husband, 
Harry,  gave  up  his  job  in  the  city 
and  came  to  the  country  to  stay. 

Before  long,  the  Grossingers 
realized  that  they  had  outgrown 
the  farm.  They  needed  a  larger 
place.  They  decided  to  search  for 
a  bigger  place  that  would  enable 
them  to  accommodate  a  great 
number  of  guests  and  provide 
better  facilities. 

The  Grossingers  didn't  have  far 
to  go.  Four  miles  away  was  the 
Nichols'  place,  which  had  three 
good  buildings  and  about  200 
acres  of  land.  The  old  Grossinger 
farmhouse  was  sold  for  $10,000 
and  that  went  toward  the  $25,000 
it  cost  to  purchase  the  Nichols' 
propery,  nucleus  of  the  present 
Grossinger's. 

Although  the  Grossingers  were 
very  happy  with  their  new  hotel, 
thev  were  far  from  satisfied  with 
it.  They  immediately  began  mak- 
ing improvements  and  additions 
and  thev  haven't  stopped  since. 
They  pioneered  in  adding  new 
facilities  by  the  score.  In  1927, 
golf  courses  were  literally  few  and 


far  between,  but  the  Grossinger 
family  was  looking  toward.  Gross- 
inger's was  the  first  Catskill  re- 
sort to  build  its  own  18-hole  links. 
Grossinger's  introduced  outdocfl 
dining  to  the  Catskills.  Grossin- 
ger's built  the  world's  first  private 
airport  for  the  use  of  guests  at  a 
resort  hotel. 

Champions  Train  at  Grossinger's 
Because  of  Grossinger's  health- 
ful location,  many  famous  athletes 
have  trained  there.  Nine  world 
boxing  champions,  including  In- 
gemar  Johansson,  Rocky  Marci- 
ano,  and  Barney  Ross,  have  con- 
ditioned themsel  ves  at  the  resort. 
Many  skating  champions  have 
trained  at  Grossinger's,  among 
them  being  Olympic  figure-skat- 
ing champions  Hayes  Alan  Jen-

Why  Did  O.  Henry  Become  O.  Henry?

function  properly  without  an  alias 
or  monicker  file.  Although  an 
alias  is  consciously  designed  to 
hide  criminal  identity,  it  so  often 
is  revealing  that  it  has  become 
standard  operating  procedure  to 
examine  it  lor  clues.  An  alias 
lends  distinction  to  the  individual. 

Sometimes  the  name  will  be- 
taken from  what  the  police  call 
the  "M.O.,"  or  modus  operandi, 
of  the  crime. 

Among  criminologists  and  psy- 
chologists, there  is  a  growing 
awareness  that  many  criminals 
may  engage  in  a  life  of  crime  in 
order  to  be  punished  due  to  an 
irrational  and  overwhelming  sense 
of  guilt.  They  are  constantly  seek- 
ing punishment  and  perform  in 
a  manner  designed  to  insure  cap 
ture.  ft  explains  the  masochistic 
components  of  most  persons  who 
lind  themselves  incarcerated  in 
prison. 

Alcoholics  seem  to  be  subject  to 
l he  same  mechanism.  It  is  possible 
that  the  compulsive  drinker  does 
so  in  order  to  be  punished  by  the 
inevitable  hangover.  O.  Henry 
gave  evidence  of  fitting  both 
masochistic  molds.  He  was  not 
only  a  convicted  embezzler  but 
also  an  alcoholic,  teetering  on  the 
border  of  skid  row,  and  ultimate- 
ly dying  of  cirrhosis  of  the  liver  at 


the  age  of  48  with  his  entire  for- 
tune of  2.'5  cents  in  his  pocket  and

nine  empty  whiskey  bottles  under 
the  bed. 

Whether  guilty  or  innocent,  O. 
Henry's  criminal  record  haunted 
him  like  a  ghost,  and  its  conceal- 
ment was  apparently  one  of  his 
overwhelming  needs.  He  covered 
up  the  time  served  in  prison  by 
lalsifying  his  age  to  account  for 
ihe  missing  years.  In  interviews 
he  omitted  any  menton  of  his 
residence  in  Austin.  He  made  his 
close  friends  feel  that  there  were 
areas  in  which  they  were  not  per- 
mitted to  pry. 

Even  after  they  all  knev.  hi* 
secret,  he  acted  as  though  it  was 
still  hidden  from  them.  Will  Ir- 
win, the  writer  and  friend  of  O. 
Henry,  exclaimed,  "Why  didn't 
one  of  us  go  to  him  and  say, 
'Stop  trying  to  hide  yourself  from 
strangers  for  fear  of  running  across 
someone  with  knowledge  of  a  se- 
cret that  is  no  secret  at  all.'  " 

There  is  evidence  that  O.  Henry 
himself  was  responsible  for  ar- 
ranging the  conditions  whereby 
his  secret  was  no  secret  at  all, 
that  in  his  methods  of  conceal- 
ment he  was  preparing  his  self 
betrayal. 

To  Al  Jennings,  a  bank  robber 
and  close  prison-mate,  O.  Henry 
lesolved,  "I  will  bury  the  name 
of  Bill  Porter  in  the  depths  of 
oblivion.  No  one  shall  know  that 
the  Ohio  Penitentiary  ever  furn- 
ished me  with  board  and  bread." 

Could  it  be  that  with  the  re- 
verse irony  that  was  O.  Henry's 
trademark,  he  took  an  alias  that 
was  in  truth  a  "pen"  name?

A  Sermonetle 


(Concluded  from  Page  56) 


This  writer  in  recent  weeks  has 
had  the  occasion  to  attend  a  num- 
ber of  Jewish  simchas,  and  they 
left  him  cold  and  sick  at  heart. 
They  were  empty  of  content  and 
even  of  form.  Strange  was  the  mu- 
sic and  strange  the  word  —  even 
when  the  bar  mitzvah  boy  deliver- 
ed his  piece  or  the  rabbi  his  ser- 
mon. 

One  synagogue  bar  mitzvah  cere- 
mony was  followed  the  next  clay  by 
a  reception  at  a  "Jewish"  night 
club  where  the  mistress  of  cere- 
mony, a  heavily  painted  and  even 
more  heavily  bosomed  woman  late 
in  her  sixties,  poured  out  filth  and 
profanity  of  the  most  degrading 
type.  Her  "act"  was  followed  by  a 
bit  of  nudity  by  a  strip-teaser 
whose  performance  was  a  model  of 
virtue  and  cleanliness  as  compared 
with  that  of  the  "lady"  who  intro- 
duced her.  There  were  three  simul- 
taneous bar  mitzvah  parties  going 
on  in  the  club,  but  for  the  lew 
skullcap  bearers  one  would  not 
have  known  that  this  was  a  gather- 
ing of  Jews.  The  Jewish  voice  was 
silent  and  there  was  no  Jewish 
song,  no  chant  nor  speech. 

Equally  depressing  was  a  wed- 
ding we  recently  attended.  By  the 
time  the  ceremony  was  to  be  per- 
formed most  of  the  wedding  guests 
were  too  exhausted  with  drink  and 
food  to  be  sober  witness  to  the 
most  sober  of  occasions.  And  when 
the  well-rehearsed  march  to  the 
altar  began  impatience  and  imper- 
tinence shouted  from  every  corner 
of  the  floor. 


Music  alien  to  Jewish  ears  clear- 
ed the  couple's  path  as  they  wend- 
ed slowly  to  their  destiny  —  to  be 
broken  only  by  the  weak  voice  of 
the  preacher  and  teacher  in  Israel 
who  appeared  unhappy  about 
playing  a  role  in  this  strange  per- 
formance.  Silence  fell  as  the  rabbi 
lifted  his  voice  and  raised  his 
hands  in  blessing  at  ceremony's 
end.  Before  long,  however  tumult 
and  confusion  and  meaninglessness 
again  engulfed  the  hall.  The  jazz- 
men had  taken  over  even  before 
the  benediction's  echo  vanished. 
When  the  chaleh  was  to  be  broken 
(here  were  no  hands  to  wash.  And 
when  the  cup  was  to  be  drunk 
there  were  none  to  lift  it.  The  rab- 
bi had  hoped  to  say  a  few  'Jewish 
words"  but  his  voice  was  drowned 
out  by  laughter  and  discordant 
notes. 

I  can  multiply  these  instances, 
but  only  to  the  extent  of  limning 
an  even  more  degrading  picture. 
Our  Jewish  pattern  is  ripped  in 
many  vulnerable  places.  The  vul- 
garity thai  has  replaced  ancient  re- 
joicing could  leave  a  repulsive 
stain. 

It  would  be  presumptuous  of  me 
to  give  counsel  to  the  ordained. 
But  if  I  were  a  rabbi  I  would  re- 
fuse to  off  iciate  at  a  birth,  bar  mitz- 
vah or  wedding  where  there  was 
no  pledge  to  Jewish  decorum, 
where  there  was  no  clear  under- 
standing that  there  would  "be  no 
vulgarization  ol  simcha.

Scientists  At  The  Hebrew  University 


By  Iiiacien  Meysels 


Dr  fcrnest  D.  Bergman,  professor  of  organic  chemistry,  center,  shown 
with  associates  in  ins  laboratory  at  the  Hebrew  University,  of  Jerusalem. 
Dr.  Bergman  also  serves  as  Chairman  of  Israel's  Atomic  Energy  Commission 
and  as  Director  of  the  Scientific  Department  of  the  Government's  Ministry 
of  Defense. 


"How  is  it  that  a  small  univer- 
sity like  yours  manages  to  attract 
some  of  the  world's  leading  scien- 
tists and  scholars?"  an  American 
visitor  recently  asked,  on  being 
shown  around  the  Hebrew  Univer- 
sity of  Jerusalem.  "It  can't  be  the 
money,"  he  added,  "and  even 
though  you  are  building  a  very  fine 
new  campus,  your  facilites  don't 
compare  with  my  alma  mater,"  re- 
ferring to  a  famous  New  England 
university. 

Going  back  to  the  essential  point 
of  the  visitor's  remarks,  it  certainly 
is  not  money  that  brings  leading 
scholars  to  Jerusalem  or,  for  that 
matter,  the  physical  facilities,  al- 
though it  is  a  fact  that  on  the  new 
campus  only  the  best  is  good 
enough.  However,  it  is  certainly 
true  that  the  academic  staff  list  of 
the  Hebrew  University  reads  like  a 
page  out  of  the  Encyclopedia  of 
Learning.

nator of  the  Aschheim  -  Zondek 
Pregnancy  Test.  His  international 
reputation  had  been  well  establish- 
ed long  before  he  came  to  Palestine. 
Yet,  when  the  Nazi  advent  to  pow- 
er in  Germany  caused  him  to  leave 
the  country,  he  turned  down  much 
more  lucrative  offers  from  universi- 
ties and  hospitals  the  world  over  to 
make  his  home  in  Jerusalem,  where 
at  the  time,  even  the  university's 
medical  school  existed  on  blue- 
prints only.  Lucrative  offers,  as  a 
matter  of  fact,  are  still  being  made 
10  Professor  Zondek.  For  instance, 
on  his  recent  visit  to  Latin  Amer- 
ica where,  incidentally,  he  was 
made  an  honorary  citizen  of  Rio 
de  Ja  nerio,  and  received  more  hon- 
orary doctorates  than  his  valise 
could  hold,  he  received  an  urgent 
call  from  a  very  excited  and 
wealthy  woman:  "Professor,  I  sim- 
ply must  see  you.  Money  is  abso- 
lutely no  matter!"  "In  that  case," 
the  Professor  replied,  "you  can  see 
me  at  my  office  at  the  Hebrew 
University  of  Jerusalem." 

One  of  Professor  Zondek's  next- 
door  neighbors  in  Jerusalem  is 
Italian-born  Professor  Guilio  Ra- 
cah,  head  of  the  university's  physics 
department  and  the  world"s  "last

troscopy. As  Professor  of  Theoretic

Dr.  Bernard  Zondek,  Professor  of  Gynecology  and  Obsteclrics  at  the 
Medical  School  of  the  Hebrew  University  of  Jerusalem. 


in  pure  than  applied  science,  he  is 
naturally  shy  of  publicity  and  will 
admit  only,  with  a  great  deal  of  re- 
luctance, that  he  is  the  originator 
of  the  "Racah  Coefficient  W,"  an 
internationally  accepted  term  in 
the  world  of  science.  On  his  desk— it 
is  not  a  particularly  orderly  one  at 
that— one  can  find  letters  and  quer- 
ies from  universities  and  scientists 
of  half  a  dozen  continents  asking  his 
advice  or  opinion  in  matters  relat- 
ing to  atomic  spectroscopy  —  the 
science  of  reading  and  evaluating 
the  spectrum  of  the  atom.  Professor 
Racah  is  a  member  of  numerous 
intellectual  atomic  bodies  but  his 
permanent  home  remains  in  Jeru- 
salem where,  it  might  be  interest- 
ing to  note,  his  office,  until  his  re- 
cent move  to  the  new  campus,  used 
to  be  less  than  a  stone's  throw  from 
the  Arab  snipers  on  the  Old  City 
wall. 

Sharing  Professor  Racah's  aver- 
sion for  publicity  is  the  head  of  the 
University's  Parasitology  Depart- 
ment, Professor  Saul  Adler,  famous 
for  his  work  in  the  control  of  leish- 
maniasis, who  was  recently  ap- 
pointed a  Fellow  of  Britain's  Royal 
Society. 

Still  working  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  the  Arab  Legionnaires  on 
the  Old  City  Wall  and  feeling  no 
worse  therefore,  is  Professor  Leo 
Picard,  who  heads  the  university's 
famous  team  of  geologists.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  he  is  not  in  Jerusa- 
lem right  now.  At  the  request  of 
the  United  Nations,  the  university 
agreed  to  "lend"  him  to  the  Gov- 
ernment of  Greece  to  act  as  advisor 
on  ground  water  resources.  Neither 


is  Greece  the  only  country  in  which 
he  has  been  active.  Shortly  after 
the  war  he  conducted  a  ground- 
water survey  in  far-away  Argentina, 
a  country  which  surely  coidd  have 
found  a  competent  geologist  closer 
at  hand  but  chose  him  nevertheless. 
Many  geologists,  moreover,  still  re- 
member the  paper  he  read  at  the 
International  Geological  Confer- 
ence at  Moscow,  shortly  before 
World  War  II,  in  which  he  under- 
scored the  as  yet  untapped  oil  po- 
tential of  Arabia— to  the  everlasting 
chagrin  of  certain  oil  companies 
who  did  not  believe  him  at  the 
time  and  let  American  prospectors 
get  there  first!

sity scientist,  currently  abroad,  is

MRS.  LARRY  RUDEN,  Correspondent 


The  Suffolk  community  has  been 
deeply  concerned  over  the  recent 
illness  of  a  beloved  member,  Leon 
Familant.  Now  recovering,  we  all 
hope  his  convalescence  will  be  a 
speedy  one,  and  that  his  return  to 
good  health  will  be  permanent. 

We  of  the  Ruden  family  are  very 
proud  of  our  new  addition  in  High 
Point,  N.  C.  Meredith  Loren, 
daughter  of  Bobby  and  Betty  Ann

Irving  January  is  spending  his 
teachers  vacation  touring  Europe 
this  summer.  Irving  is  visiting  an 
aunt  and  uncle  stationed  in  Ger- 
many, and  friends  living  in  several 
different  countries. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  Stein  com- 
bined business  and  pleasure  on 
their  northern  trip  in  July.  After 
buying  in  New  York  for  their  busi- 
ness they  traveled  on  to  New  Lon- 
don, Conn.,  to  visit  their  son  and 
daughter-in-law,  Sigmund  and  Let- 


tie  Lee,  and  granddaughter  Cindy. 
Sigmund  completed  in  July  his  two 
years  residence  in  pediatrics  at 
Western  Reserve  Hospital  in  Cleve- 
land, Ohio,  and  is  now  stationed 
in  New  London  as  a  captain  in  the 
navy. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Coleman  Davis  had 
as  guests  recently  Barbara's  par- 
ents, Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Spitz, 
and  her  aunt  and  uncle,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Henry  Brager  of  New  York

A  Program  For  Teen- Agers 

(Continued  from  Page  44) 


fund-raiser,  no  publicity  director. 
A  project  is  organized  for  each  sum- 
mer and  city-bred  youngsters  go 
out  to  toil  in  the  hot  sun  at  hard 
physical  labor.  They  pay  fees  com- 
parable to  those  of  more  typical 
summer  camps. 

The  stereotype  of  Jewish  distaste 
for  hard  physical  effort  would  sug- 
gest that  the  most  difficult  task 
would  be  that  of  finding  campers. 
Kohn  replies  that  last  year  more 
than  200  inquiries  were  received 
from  interested  young  people. 

Most  of  them  were  Jews.  The  So- 
ciety, while  seeking  to  enroll  Jewish 
young  people,  has  accepted  non- 
Jewish  youngsters.  In  the  summer 
of  1956,  all  but  one  of  the  campers 
were  Jewish.  The  exception  was  a 
girl  from  a  mixed  marriage  home. 

The  notion  that  such  work  camps 
are  an  utterly  new  experience  for 
American  Jewish  youth  also  is  re- 
jected by  Kohn,  who  reports  that 
the  largest  single  denomination 
represented  for  many  years  in  the 
Quaker  work  camps  for  teen-agers 
was  the  Jewish  group. 

"One  of  the  reasons  we  organ- 
ized the  Society  was  because  we 
felt  that  there  should  be  a  program 
under  Jewish  auspices  in  this  area," 
he  said. 

All  wings  of  Judaism  are  repre- 
sented among  the  campers— Ortho- 
dox, Conservative,  and  Reform. 
Handling  of  the  problem  of  Kash- 
ruth  depends  partly  on  the  number 
of  campers  who  indicate,  in  their 
application  forms,  that  they  ob- 
serve the  dietary  laws,  and  partly 
on  the  location  of  the  work  project. 
Sometimes  the  projects  are  too  far 
away  from  a  Jewish  urban  concen- 
tration to  make  possible  provision 
of  kosher  meat. 

The  campers  observe  the  Sab- 
bath as  a  day  of  rest.  They  have 
Friday  evening  and  Saturday  morn- 
ing services  with  the  campers  con- 
ducting their  own  service.  The 
hardest  phase  of  the  program,  says 


Kohn,  is  getting  appropriate  proj- 
ects. Housing  must  be  available  for 
a  group  of  20  young  people,  Ade- 
quate sanitary  facilities  and  prox- 
imity to  a  fairly  substantial  com- 
munity also  are  required. 

In  recent  years,  this  problem  has 
become  more  difficult,  partly  be- 
cause of  American  prosperity  and 
partly  because  of  a  widespread  be- 
lief that  all  unknown  teen-agers  are 
juvenile  delinquents. 

A  more  long-standing  problem  is 
that  the  idea  of  unpaid  service  is 
an  unknown  concept  to  most  Amer- 
icans. Most  communities  are  skep- 
tical about  the  proposition  that 
there  are  teen-agers  who  are  not 
only  eager  to  give  such  service,  but 
also  willing  to  pay  fees  to  do  it. 

The  fees  do  not  pay  all  the  costs 
of  the  project.  The  1956  project 
for  example,  involved  Society  ex- 
penditures totalling  $4,000— what 
the  Society  spent  for  transportation, 
food  and  similar  essentials.  The 
deficits  are  made  up  by  contribu- 
tions from  individual  supporters  of 
the  idea. 


Albert  Z.  Elkes  has  been  appoint- 
ed national  director  of  Membership 
for  B'nai  B  nth,  it  was  announced 
by  Maurice  Bisg:yer,  executive  vice 
president  of  the  organization. 

He  succeeds  Max  N.  Kroloff,  51, 
who  died  July  4  as  previously  noted.

Famous  Guests 

Grossinger's  is  internationally 
famous.  This  past  year,  vacatipn-

19  foreign  countries  as  well  as  44 
states  in  this  country.  Baron  Ed- 
mond  de  Rothschild  flew  in  from 
Paris  recently. 

Prominent  visitors  from  the 
sports  world,  the  theater,  radio, 


TV,  public  life,  literary  field, 
press,  and  business  rub  elbows 
with  people  in  ordinary  callings 
whose  savings  through  the  year 
enable  them  to  have  a  vacation  at 
the  resort. 

The  guest  list  at  Grossinger's 
olten  looks  like  a  page  out  of 
"Who's  Who".  Sojourners  have  in- 
cluded Eleanor  Roosevelt,  Gov. 
Nelson  Rockefeller,  Dr.  Salman

Where  A  Synagogue  Used  To  Be

synagogue  was  supposed  to  be? 

I  dragged  the  family  in  great 
excitement  up  and  down  the  street, 
but  there  was  no  trace  of  a  synago- 
gue. Finally  I  stopped  an  old  wom-

be.  "Over  there,"  she  waved  her 
arm  indifferently,  "where  the  empty 
space  is."  And  when  I  looked  at 
her  questioningly,  she  added: 
"Where  they  are  building  the  new 
block  of  flats." 

So  we  retraced  our  steps  to  the 
building  site,  which  we  passed  be- 
fore without  recognition,  and  there, 
amongst  weeds  and  rubble,  we 
found  a  few  pitiful  remains  of  a 
House  of  God.  A  broken  pillar,  a 
few  cornerstones  .  .  .  that  was  all. 
Oh  yes,  you  could  still  see,  if  you 


looked  for  it,  where  the  wall  must 
have  adjoined  the  neighbouring 
buiding. 

A  sense  of  desolation  swept  over ' 
me,  such  as  I  have  not  experienced 
since  the  day  I  was  told  that  my 
family  was  wiped  out.  There,  be- 
hind us,  a  new  building  was  going 
up,  the  hustle  and  bustle  typifying 
the  spirit  of  re-birth  pervading 
Austria. 

All  over  the  country  new  build- 
ings are  going  up,  the  country  is 
patching  up  its  war  wounds  and1 
life  is  going  on  as  before.  Who 
would  think  of  the  dead  and  who 
indeed  of  dead  Jews  and  Jewry? 

'ever,  this  was  Shabbos  and 
we  came  to  Innsbruck  to  pray.  So 
I  stood  on  the  place  where  the 
synagogue  used  to  be  and  silently 
recited  the  Shemone  Eare.  .  .  .

capital  for  investment— all  of  which  standarized 


factors  enable  them  to  produce 
cheaply  for  the  world  market," 
the  said. 

In  agriculture  too,  most  ol  the 
so-called  "mixed  farming"  which 
lorms  the  oasis  of  the  cooperative 
agricultural  sector  is  able  to  main- 
tain  its   existence;   through  high 
J  walls  of   protection   guarding  it 
I  from   outside   competition.  This 
"mixed    farming,"    such    as  the 
raising   of   vegetables   and  dairy 
products,  is  intended  almost  ex 
leiusively  lor  the  domestic  market. 
1'iUt  on   the  other  hand,  cotton, 
groundnuts,  citrus,  flowers,  bulbs 
land  many  other  agricultural  pro- 
ducts which  can  compete  in  the 
, world  market  have  not  been  un- 
til very  recently  put  in  the  fore- 
front of  preferabiliry  by  the  gov- 
ernment  and    Hi«tadrut  author- 
ities. 

Too  high  taxes  have  been  de- 
Itrimental  to  production  and  have 
even  defeated  their  own  purpose 
by  actually  reducing  government 
jtax  collections.  "We  contend  that 
[lowering  income  tax  rates—espec- 
Ipally  in  the  middle  brackets  -will 
'increase   the   volume   of  income 
liable   to   taxation   and    lead  to 
Darger   tax   collections.   This  was 
([proved  during  the  last  few  years, 
when  a  number  of  minor  reduc- 
tions introduced  actually  had  this 
kesult;  in  the  fiscal  year  1958-59 
revenue  from  income  tax  has  risen 
thy  some  7  million  Israeli  pounds 
already  in   comparison   with  the 
corresponding    period    last  year, 
Mr.  Saphir  revealed. 

Israel's    economic     future,  the 
I'armer  Cabinet  Minister  believes, 
Jiies  in  secondary,  not  primary,  in- 
dustries. This,  he  savs,  has  been

or  primary  goods.  It 
can  compete  with  secondary  goods; 
since  there  "ttte  skill  of  our  hands, 
ingenuity  >l  design  and  Jewish 
marketing  ability  can  create  an 
advantage  for  Israel  products— 
not  only  in  under-developed  coun- 
tries but  perhaps  even  in  Europe 
and  America/  Israel  raincoats,  Ir.r 
example,  have  been  very  success- 
ful abroad  because  skilled  labor 
wages  abroad  are  higher  than  in 
Israel  and  because  the  elemenl 
of  design  and  ingenuity  in  this 
commodity  are  predominant  thus 
lowering  costs  per  unit.  But  a 
unit  of  steel  will  alwavs  cost  less 
in  Belgium,  and  through  no  fault 
of  the  Israeli  workers. 

Was  Mr.  Saphire  optimistic 
about  the  Genera)  Zionist  Party's 
chances  of  greatly  increasing  its 
strength  in  the  forthcoming  Knes- 
set election  and  thus  exerting; 
more  influence  over  the  Govern- 
ment of  Israel?  His  answer  was  a 
decided  "yes." 

"The  public  is  beginning  to 
realize  that  as  Israel  enters  the 
second  decade  of  its  existence  there 
is  need  for  a  radical  change  in 

C) 

the  way  things  are  run  in  the 
economic  sphere,  and  a  change 
in  social  mi  look.  It  understands 
that  we  are  approaching  serious 
crises  in  four,  or  perhaps  even  two 
years'  time.  1  he  people  know  that 
reforms  have  become  a  dire  neces- 
sity," he  asserted. 

Finally  the  General  Zionist 
leader  said  to  me: 

"I  assume  that  the  central  prob- 
lem of  the  next  decade  will  be 
the  diminishing  financial  aid  oui 
state  is  likely  to  receive.  This 
financial  aid,  in  its  various  forms, 
has  in  the  pa^t  been  virtually  the 
sole  mainstay  of  our  economic 
existence.  It  has  paid  for  both  the 
maintenance  of  our  present  stad- 
ard  of  living  and  for  develop- 
ment. The  shortage  of  disappear- 
ance of  such  aid  could  be  catastro- 
phic. Our  proposals  are  intended 
to  fortify  out  economy  and  raise 
our  productive  capacity  against 
this  eventuality— which  to  us  seems 
a  certainty— by  increasing  the  free- 
dom and  responsibilities  of  the 
individual  in  the  community,  and 
by  minimizing  unnecessary  con- 
trols and  pressures  exercised  by 
various  collective  institutions,  l-'or 
this,  I  believe,  we  shall  obtain  wide 
public  support."

Nusach  Aii"  —  A  Strange  Ceremony 


(Continued  from  Page  72) 


recruited  from  the  ranks  of  his 
union  in  Chicago  and  in  New 
York,  supplemented  by  a  few  brave 
souls  in  our  town,  he  invaded  our 
town. 

Significant  was  this  fact:  Nearly 
a  hundred  percent  of  all  involved 
directly  in  this  fight  —  employers, 
the  "contractors"  to  whom  the  big 
factories  fanned  out  much  of  their 
work,  and  the  employees^  nearly 
all  of  them  were  Tews. 

In  our  town,  the  employers 
would  take  no  guff  from  that 
young  "radical"  Sam  Stillman.  As 
soon  as  some  of  the  workers  went 
on  strike,  these  were  fired  sum- 
marily. More  work  was  given  to 
the  "contractors."  When  the  men 
and  women  working  in  the  sweat- 
shops  of  the  "contractors"  joined 
the  union  and  walked  out  — 
strikebreakers  were  employed  by 
the  hundred.  In  our  town,  most  of 
the  strikebreakers  came  from  the 
Gentile  population  —  some  were  of 
Polish  origin,  many  of  theme  were 
second  generation  Germ  an -.Ameri- 
cans. 

Two  problems  presented  them- 
selves. The  Gentiles  had  to  be  per- 
suaded not  to  act  as  strikebreakers 
against  the  Jewish  workers.  Second- 
ly, a  dormitory  and  kosher  soup 
kitchen  were  needed.  There  were 
already  three  soup  kitchens,  one  at 
strike  headquarters,  another  at  a 
Unitarian  church,  a  third  at  the 
town's  YMCA.  An  effort  had  been 
made  to  have  the  Young  Men's 
Hebrew  Association  permit  use  oL 
its  facilities  as  kosher  soup  kitchen 
and  dormitory.  (The  dormitory 
was  needed  because  manv  of  the 
strikers  had,  by  that  time  sent  their 
families  to  live  with  relatives  out  of 
town;  meanwhile,  evicted  from  the 
homes  for  nonpayment  of  rent, 
they  simply  had  no  place  to  sleep.) 
The  YMHA  had  refused  to  have 
anything  to  do  with  the  strikers  — 
that  organization's  principal  con- 
tributors came  from  the  ranks  of 
the  Jews  among  the  factory  owners 
?nd  "contractors." 

My  lather,  who  ran  a  dry  goods 
store  in  the  Jewish  neighborhood, 
had  a  brainstorm.  On  Morris 
Street,  there  stood  a  sizable  build 
ing  that  was  vacant.  The  building 
bad  housed  a  Lutheran  church.  Be- 
cause the  parishioners  of  that 
church  had  all  moved  out  of  the 
neighborhood,  when  it  was  innun- 
dated  by  Jews,  the  Lutheran  con- 
gregation had  erected  a  new  church 


building  in  another  part  of  town. 
The  Morris  Street  Lutheran 
church  building  was  vacant. 

My  father  approached  the  minis- 
ter of  that  church,  Reverend  Sch- 
luegel.  Together,  they  formed  a 
strikers'  aid  committee.  The  mini- 
ster got  his  board  of  trustees  to 
permit  use  of  the  vacant  church 
building.  On  the  main  floor,  cots 
were  set  up,  and  this  floor  was  used 
as  a  dormitory.  The  basement  be- 
came a  soup  kitchen.  And  it  was 
strictly  kosher.  My  father  had 
hired  two  "inashgichim,"  elderly 
members  of  his  own  shul  to  watch 
and  see  to  it  that  the  food  was  pre- 
pared and  served  with  strict  obser- 
vance of  kashruth. 

The  Strike  was  finally  settled  — 
and  a  big,  strong,  new  industrial 
labor  union  had  been  born.  The 
strikers'  aid  committee  was  dis- 
solved. The  strikers  had  cleared 
out  of  the  Morris  Street  church  so 
rapidly  that  they  had  not  even 
taken  the  time  to  clean  the  place,  i 
My  father  and  the  minister  recruit- 
ed a  lot  of  kids  —  I  was  one  of. 
them  —  to  clean  the  place. 

Oh  yes  —  about  those  strike- 
breakers; Reverend  Schluegel  had 
helped  through  other  ministers  to 
get  the  Gentile  strikebreakers  to 
quit,  thus  helping  the  union  mater- 
ially toward  its  ultimate  victory. 

Some  months  after  die  Strike, 
had  ended,  Reverend  Schluegel; 
had  come  to  his  old  church  for  a; 
final  inspection.  He  was  under 
orders  of  his  trustees  to  have  the 
building  listed  for  sale.  Sad,  be- 
cause he  was  leaving  forever  the

church  where  he  had  spent  forty 
■years  as  a  minister,  the  minister 
left  the  place.,  locked  it  for  the  last 
'  time,  and  started  to  take  the  trol- 
ley car  home.  At  the  corner,  he  saw 
a  sign  painted  lettering  the  win- 
'dow  of  a  storefront.  The  sign  an- 
nounced   that    a    new  business 
'would  open  there  —  a  printing 
'shop.  The  name:  my  father's.  The 
minister  walked  in  for  a  reunion 
[with  his  old  friend  of  The  Strike 
days. 

It  was  a  joyous  reunion.  (I  was 
there,  with  mv  older  brother  Joha- 
nan,  unpacking  the  new  printing 
machinery.)  My  father  explained 
to  the  minister  that  he  had  had  to 

[give  up  his  dry  goodstore,  where 
he  had  faced  bankruptcy  because 
he  had  "sold"  so  much  dry  goods  to 
the  strikers  who  would  not  be  able 

[to  repay  their  credits  for  years,  if 

I  ever. 

The  Reverend  Schluegel  told 
my  father  of  his  sadness  about  leav- 
ing his  old  church.  He  feared,  said 
the  minister,  that  the  building 
•might  become  —  like  a  former 
Christian  church  in  the  piesent 
1  fewish  neighborhood,  a  junk-and- 
'rag  shop. 

"I'd  almost  give  my  church  away 
ho  someone,"  he  said,  "if  I  were 
[sure  it  would  be  used  for  a  House 
of  God." 

?  Then  the  minister  thought  of 
something.  Once,  during  The 
Strike,  he  had  accompanied  my 
'lather  to  the-  old  "Nusach  Ari"  syn- 
agogue, It  was  located  then  on  the 
second  floor  of  a  ramshackle  build- 
ing, over  a  bicycle  repair  shop. 
|Even  then,  the  street  where  this 
shul  was  located  was  in  the  center 
iof  the  slum  area.  In  answer  to  po- 
.lice  questioning,  my   father  had 


told  die  minister  that  his  congre- 
gation coidd  not  afford  to  move. 
The  "Nasach  Ari"  men  had  hoped 
that  some  of  the  richer  Jews  would 
contribute  money  to  help  them  get 
another  house  of  worship  some- 
where else.  Now.  because  the 
Nusach  Ari  men  had  aided  the 
strikers  —  such  contributions  from 
Jews  of  wealth  were  out  of  the 
question. 

The  minister  asked  my  father 
whether  an  Orthodox  congrega- 
tion would  be  allowed  to  use  a 
building  formerly  occupied  by  a 
Christian  church.  My  father  said 
that  reconsecration  was  a  very 
simple  matter.  Right  there  and 
then,' for  one  dollar,  my  father,  on 
behalf  of  "Nusach  Ari,"  bought 
the  old  Lutheran  church. 

The  Morris  Street  synagogue 
still  occupies  that  building  today. 
"Nusach  Ari"  took  possession  with-

Scientists  At  The 

(Concluded 

Professor  Israel  Reichert  of  the 
Faculty  of  Agriculture.  Professor 
Reichert,  a  plant  pathologist,  is  an 
authority  on  citrus  virus  diseases. 
He  was  recently  asked  by  the  Med- 
iterranean Citrus  Growers  Associa- 
tion to  conduct  an  investigation  in- 
to these  diseases  over  the  entire 
area. 

In  the  university's  chemistry  lab- 
oratories the  visitor  may  have  met 
Professor  Erns  D.  Bergmann,  but  it 
is  doubtful  whether  the  Professor 
had  any  time  for  him.  Professor 
Bergmann,  in  addition  to  his  uni- 
versity post,  serves  as  chairman  of 
Israel's  Atomic  Energy  Commission 
and  as  head  of  the  "hush-hush" 
Scientific  Division  of  the  Ministry 
of  Defense.  Between  these  duties  he 
somehow  manages  to  find  time  to 
represent  Israel  on  the  World  Uni- 
versity Service.  How  he  does  it  is 
a  mystery! 

Yet  another  scientist  whose  work 
is  mainly  out  of  town,  is  the  uni- 
versity's vice-president,  Professor 
Michael  Evenari,  a  botanist,  en- 
gaged chiefly  in  efforts  to  reclaim 
th  Negev  desert  for  agricultural 
purposes  who,  by  the  way,  is  as  apt 
with  a  heavy  .45  on  his  desert  trips 
as  with  a  plant  sapling. 

It  is  perhaps  less  surprising  that 
the  university— in  view  of  the  es- 
sential learned  characteristics  of 
the  Jewish  people— should  have  a 
top-class  Faculty  of  Humanities 
and  particularly  an  outstanding  In- 
stitute of  Jewish  Studies.  Until  re- 
cently, the  Institute  was  headed  by 
Professor  Gershom  Scholem,  the 
leading  authority  in  the  field  of 
Jewish  Mysticism  and  Kabbala.  A 
late  member  of  the  Institute  was 
Professor  Umberto  Cassuto,  the 
famous  Bible  scholar  and  author 
of  the  Jerusalem  Bible,  the  first 
edition  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  to  be 
printed  in  the  Holy  City.  Now  on 
the  retired  list,  but  still  very  much 
around  are  Professors  Martin  Bri- 
ber, the  eminent  social-philosopher 
who  really  needs  no  introduction; 
Hugo  Bergman,  the  philosopher; 
Joseph  Klausner,  the  historian  and 
pioneer  Zionist;  and  Harry  Tur- 
Sinai  (Torczyner),  who  translated 
and  deciphered  the  famous  Lachis 
Letters,  the  importance  of  which 
ranks  with  the  Dead  Sea  Scrolls. 

In  a  country  with  a  history  like 
Israel's,  it  is  only  natural  that  spe- 
cial attention  should  be  paid  to 
archeology.  The  university's  presi- 
dent, Professor  Benjamin  Mazar,  is

himself  an  archaeologist  who 
brought  to  light  the  magnificent 
Jewish  necropolis  of  Beth  Shearim 
in  Galilee.  One  of  his  associates  is 
Dr.  Yigael  Yadin  who  is  perhaps 
better  known  as  one  of  Israel's  most 
brilliant  generals  in  the  War  of  In- 
dependence. Dr.  Yadin  gave  up  his 
military  career  to  work  at  the  uni- 
versity and  to  follow  in  the  foot- 
steps of  his  father,  the  late  Profes- 
sor Eliezer  L.  Sukenik,  the  first 
man  to  realize  the  significance  of 
the  Dead  Sea  Scrolls. 

This  list  of  names  could  be  con- 
tinued almost  ad  infinitum.  But  we 
still  haven't  replied  to  our  visitor's 
original  question  as  to  why  these 
men  —  and  women  —  are  in  Jerusa- 
lem. The  answer,  of  course,  is  that 
they  find  a  degree  of  satisfaction 
in  working  in  Jerusalem  which  can- 
not be  measured  in  terms  of  mon- 
ey. At  the  Hebrew  University  they 
are  serving  not  only  the  State  of 
Israel  but  the  entire  Jewish  people, 
and  their  success  brings  pride  and 
joy,  credit  and  prestige  to  all  Jews, 
wherever  they  may  dwell,  and  to 
humanity  in  general.

The  Ultimate  Cruelty 


(Concluded  from  Page  82) 


The  recent  German  trials  o£  SS 
guards  excited  great  interest  among 
German  youth.  The  facts  of  mass 
proceedings.  For  many  young  Ger- 
mans, this  was  the  very  first  time 
that  they  had  heard  any  details 
of  the  brutality  of  the  Hitler  years. 

This  month  the  monthly  organ 
of  the  General  Students  Committee 
at  Heidelberg  University  disclosed 
that  a  self-styled  students'  fascist 
group  was  "engaging  in  anti-demo- 
cratic and  anti-Semitic''  activities. 
In  their  paper,  "Student  Und 
Volk,"  the  fascist  students  had  pub- 
lished many  articles  supporting 
racist  theories  and  saying  that  the

figure  of  6,000,000  Jews  extermi- 
nated by  Hitler  was  "grossly  exag- 
gerated." 

Joachim  Lipshitz,  West  Berlin 
senator,  had  an  answer  to  this  type 
of  thinking.  This  month  he  wrote 
in  a  Dusseldorf  newspaper:  "It  is 
tragic  that  today  we  still  debate 
the  consequences  of  the  horrible 
philosophy  of  Nazism.  When  there 
are  people  who  can  argue  whether 
it  was  six  million  or  only  four  or 
three  million  who  were  killed  — 
then  Hitler  still  lives.  When  there 
are  those  who  say  that  Hitler's 
murder  of  the  Jews  was  'a  big 
mistake,'  thus  reducing  the  murder 
of  six  million  to  the  status  of  a 
tactical  or  political  faux  pas— then 
too,  Hitler  still  lives." 


Egypt  continued  her  provocative 
policies  in  the  Suez  Canal  by  an- 
nouncing that  the  Egyptian  War 
Prize  Commission  had  upheld  the 
seizure  of  an  Israeli  cargo  bound 
for  Ceylon  aboard  the  Liberian 
ship  Kapitan  Manolis  at  Port  Said 
last  March.

Louis  Mirvan,  chairman  of  the 
Community  Relations  Committee, 
and  Paul  G.  Caplan,  chairman  of 
the  "Qualify  and  Vote"  campaign, 
reported  a  successful  response  to 
the  Community  Relations  Commit- 
tee's interest  in  urging  that  each 
citizen  over  21  years  of  age  exer- 
cise his  voting  privilege.  "Perform- 
ing your  duty  at  the  polls  is  the  first 
requirement  of  a  responsible  citi- 
zen," Paul  Caplan  points  out.  "We 
are  not  interested  in  how  you  vote 
as  much  as  we  are  in  your  having 
visited  the  polls  on  election  day, 
and  planning  to  do  so  every  No- 
vember." In  order  to  bring  this 
responsibility  to  the  attention  of 
the  Jewish  community,  the  Com- 
munity Relations  Committee  di- 
rected a  clerical  effort  that  involv- 
ed compiling  lists  of  people  who 
were  thought  to  be  qualified  vot- 
ers. These  lists  were  turned  over 
to  members  of  a  telephone  squad 
who  reached  almost  every  name  on 
the  list  before  the  recent  July  14th 
election.  A  second  round  of  re- 
minder calls  was  made  on  election 
day,  and  several  people  who  were 
otherwise  unable  to  get  to  the 
polling  places  were  provided  with 
transportation.  "Between  July  14th 
and  November  3rd  we  will  try  to 
reach  every  person  who  has  not 
registered  and  advise  them  where 
they  should  go  and  what  to  do  in 
order  to  meet  this  requirement," 
announced  Louis  Mirman.  Further 
plans  are  being  made  on  a  long- 
term  basis  to  encourage  all  Jewish 
citizens  of  Norfolk  to  pay  their  poll 
taxes  and  register  if  they  have  not 
already  met  these  basic  require- 
ments. 

At  its  seventh  anniversary  party 
the  Golden  Age  Club  installed  the 
following  officers  for  the  coming 
year:  Mrs.  Frank  Banks,  president;

At  a  meeting  in  Wilkes-Barre, 
Pa.,  Miss  Sherry  Smith,  president 
of  the  J.  C.  C.-sponsored  Norfolk

vice-president  of  the  Jewish  Center 
Youth,  M.  A.  S.,  J.  W.  B.  This  is  a 
new  organization  for  Jewish  teen- 
agers with  the  sponsorship  of  Jew- 
ish Community  Centers  in  the  vari- 
ous cities  involved.  Norfolk  has 
been  elected  the  host  city  for  a

ization in  September,  to  be  held  at 
the  Center  and  the  J.  C.  C.  recre-

then  went  on  to  win  the  State  Jew- 
ish Softball  League  at  Richmond,

advanced  thought 
century  civilization,  then  why  dis- 
miss as  impractical  the  application 
of  the  divine  principles  in  the 
Written  and  Oral  Law  to  twentieth 
century  problems? 

In  order  to  implement  this  ap- 
proach to  the  development  of  the 
State  of  Israel,  Rabbi  Herzog  dedi- 
cated his  own  scholarly  gifts  to  the 
study  of  halacha  for  the  purposes 
of  guiding  the  infant  State  on  its 
destined  course,  and  he  gathered 
about  him  a  large  group  of  Tal- 
mudic  experts  to  grapple  with  the 
specific  issues  that  mushroomed  in 
every  city,  kibbutz  and  moshav. 
Admittedly,  not  every  problem 
could  be  solved  on  a  moment's 
notice,  and  many  impatiently  re- 
belled against  the  inevitable  delays, 
but  the  big  achievement  of  Rabbi 
Herzog  that  will  be  written  in 
golden  letters  into  the  story  of  the 
State,  was  his  determination  not 
to  avoid  the  burden  of  finding 
decisions,  but  rather  to  search  for 
them.  We  might  say  he  was  a  real- 
ist in  halachic  idealism.  Obviously, 
tact  had  to  be  joined  by  knowl- 
edge in  embarking  upon  so  vital 
an  intellectual  adventure,  and  no 
less  clearly,  the  demands  upon  the 
health  of  the  chief  rabbi  to  keep 
the  program  moving  forward  were 
extremely  exacting.  One  recalls 
Rabbi  Elazer  ben  Azaria  who  as- 
cended to  rabbinic  leadership  as 
a  youth  and  in  one  night  dis- 
covered his  black  beard  streaked 
with  gray. 

While  relentlessly  driving  ahead 
in  this  vast  effort,  Rabbi  Herzog 
busied  himself  with  a  thousand 
and  one  details  involved  in  his 
high  office:  assistance  to  dozens  of 
charitable  and  educational  institu- 
tions, administration  of  a  growing 
country-wide  system  of  rabbinic 
courts,  the  endless  round  of  recep- 
tions and  personal  interviews  (the 
hospitable  genius  of  his  noble  wife 


A  Sage  Has  Fallen 

(Continued  from  Page  40) 
of  twentieth  playing  here  a  wonderful  part,  the 
voluminous  correspondence  from 
every  portion  of  the  globe,  endless 
conferences  on  the  training  of  chil- 
dren (in  whose  merit,  one  can  be 
persuaded,  both  his  sons  became 
brilliant  servants  and  dedicated 
representatives  of  the  State,  and  his 
heroic  self-sacrificing  efforts  to 
rescue  the  victims  of  Hitlerism. 


In  this  brief  tribute  we  cannot 
even  touch  upon  all  the  aspects 
of  the  philosophy  that  supported 
the  manifold  expressions  of  his 
creative  compulsion.  Two  of  them, 
perhaps,  cany  to  us  a  special  mes- 
sage and  thus  help  kindle  an  im- 
mortal candle  to  the  sacred  mem- 
ory of  the  fallen  chief  rabbi. 

He  was  thoroughly  familiar  with 
the  doctrine  of  separation  of 
church  and  state.  In  his  days  the 
spiritual  leader  of  the  Jewish  com- 
munity in  Dublin,  Ireland,  he  rec- 
ognized instinctively,  following  his 
experiences  as  a  lad  with  the  tyr- 
anny of  czarism,  that  democracy 
requires  such  a  separation.  Then, 
how  did  he  justify  the  arrange- 
ment in  Israel  that  accorded  to 
the  rabbinate  politically  acknowl- 
edged status?  Rabbi  Herzog  built 
unique  characteristics  of  the  Jew- 
ish State.  Its  Biblical  background, 
its  origins  in  centuries  or  martyred 
history,  its  fulfillment  of  a  proph- 
ecy unlike  that  of  any  other  na- 
tion—all the  rules  that  could  and 
should  be  adopted  by  a  govern- 
ment for  the  protection  of  con- 
science do  not  apply  in  this  one 
and  only,  this  singular,  this  un- 
paralleled instance.  The  aim  of 
this  State  is  the  embodiment  of 
Torah  precepts,  the  concrete  mani- 
festation of  halachic  conscience. 
Its  government  shall  be  complete- 
ly tolerant  towards  all  creeds,  and 
the  rabbi  was  on  most  cordial 
terms  with  the  various  church  cler- 
gy leaders,  but  it  bears  the  sacred 
obligation  of  establishing  the  opti-

mum  conditions  for  positive  and 
total  Jewish  religions  living.  To 
the  private  citizens  there  remains 
the  uninhibited  freedom  to  observe 
or  disregard  what  he  chooses  in 
the  ritual,  but  the  public  life  of 
Israel  ought  to  j)roclaim  tiie  ideals 
of  the  Hebrew  tradition;  the  pat- 
terns of  the  Torah  formulae  should 
be  worked  into  the  fabric  of  the 
Jewish  society.  Throughout  the 
speeches  and  writings  of  the  chief 
rabbi  this  theme  recurs. 

For  the  second  instructive  as- 
pect of  his  viewpoint  we  dwell 
upon  the  difference  between  his 
interpretation  and  that  of  certain 
other  rabbis,  of  the  place  that 
building  Zion  holds  in  the  Jewish 
religion.  Rabbi  Herzog  believed  as 
fervently  as  any  Jew  ever  did  in 
the  ultimate  arrival  of  the  Messiah. 
His  piety  was  as  strong  and  as  pure 
as  that  of  the  saints  of  the  ages. 
But  he  did  not  think  that  to  seize 
upon  every  opportunity  to  advance 
the  dignity  of  the  Jewish  people, 
to  weave  the  bonds  of  cooperation 
and  service  between  segments  of 
Jewry  brought  together  upon  an- 
cestral ground,  to  shape  a  govern* 
ment  to  the  high  point  where  ii 
could  take  its  proud  seat  among 
its  sister  nations  of  the  continents— 
to  do  these  things  he  did  think  to 
be  an  affront  to  the  Almighty  or 
a  dethronement  of  the  Davidic 
dynasty.  Yes,  in  his  heart  there 
was  a  song  of  gratitude  to  the  Cre- 
ator that  his  people,  stricken  down 
in  the  millions  before  his  kindly 
eyes,  could  raise  from  the  crema- 
toria in  moral  might  and  spiritual 
stature  to  present  to  civilization  an 
honored,  dynamic,  progressive  dem- 
ocratic State.  That  miraculous 
truth  could  only  be  the  result  of 
divine  approval,  not  heavenly 
wrath.  As  of  old,  the  God  of  the 
fathers  was  showing "  His  wonders 
on  the  soil  of  the  fathers,  "and  no 
amount  of  displeasure  with  the 
personal  irreligiosity  of  this  or  'that 
spokesman  in  the  process  of  the 
national  rebirth  could  diminish 
the  overwhelming,  transcendent 
spirituality  of  that  event. 

When  Rabbi  Herzog  visited  us 
at  the  Hebrew  Theological  College 
in  Chicago  in  1949,  he  told  us  that 
the  history  of  Israel  had"  taught

phrase  in  the  Hoshanna  prayers  of 
Succoth,  "Hoshanna  Shalosh  Sha- 
oth"—  grant  us  the  three  hours  of 
salvation.  A  vast  audience  was 
moved  to  tears  when  he  described 
the  day  in  Jerusalem  where  the 
Arab  legion  had  the  Israeli  forces 
completely  at  their  mercy,  for  the 
latter  had  exhausted  all  ammuni- 
tion and  supplies.  The  command- 
ing officer  of  the  defense,  not  a 
religious  man  by  and  of  the  usual 
connotations,  sent  a  message  to  the 
chief  rabbi  to  recite  prayers  in  ev- 
ery synagogue.  Rabbi  Herzog  re- 
ported to  us  who  listened  that  per- 
haps never  before  in  recent  centu- 
ries were  the  Psalms  recited  with  so 
much  fervor  in  so  many  places  of 
worship.  For  three  hours  did  the 
minstrel  king  furnish  the  sentences 
to  the  impassioned  lips  crying  out 
to  heaven.  And  for  three  hours  the 
Arabs  hesitated  to  advance,  for  no 
explicable  military  reasons.  Then 
the  reinforcements  arrived,  the  sup- 
plies came  through,  and  Jerusalem 
was  saved. 

.  Thus  spoke  the  man  of  Torah, 
the  man  of  faith,  the  man  of  cour- 
age, the  man  of  love  for  his  people. 

And  thus  shall  forever  live  the 
man  of  Torah,  the  man  of  faith, 
the  man  of  courage,  the  man  of 
love  for  his  people.

Jennie  Grossinger 


(Concluded 

will  tell  you,  '"that  Emerson  was 
right  when  he  said:  'The  only 
way  to  have  a  friend  is  to  be  one.'" 
The  full  application  of  that  motto 
is  one  of  the  maiin  reasons  for  the 
success  of  Jennie  Grossinger  and 
the  Grossinger  Country  Club. 

Asked  by  a  newspaperman  i! 
she  could  explain  her  success, 
Mrs.  Grossinger  replied:  "My 
heart  is  my  compass.  We  have  al- 


from  Page  93) 

ways  used  our  heart  and  not  our 
head  in  dealing  with  people.  We 
feel  that  our  guests  and  our  staff 
are  friends  and  we  treat  them  as 
such." 

All  in  all,  Jennie  Grossinger  is 
a  rather  remarkable  person.  Da- 
mon Runyon  summed  it  up  neat- 
ly when  he  wrote:  "Jennie  Gross- 
inger is  one  of  the  fabulous  wo- 
men of  this  country." 


A  Time  Of  War 

(Concluded  from  Page  42) 

Polish  lullabies  remembered  from  when  to  stop, 
childhood,  the  Yiddish  songs  of 
every  country.  He  sang  in  Hebrew, 
from  the  liturgy,  in  Yiddish,  and 
in  English  —  but  to  his  surprise, 
there  were  almost  no  requests  for 
the  latter,  even  from  the  gentiles 
in  the  tunnel.  Though  they  under- 
stood few  words  of  the  Yiddish 
and  Hebrew  songs,  the  sound  of 
prayer,  of  faith  in  the  future,  of 
hope  pouring  out  of  sorrow  needed 
no  translation;  they  understood  — 
and  learned  the  songs  well  enough 
to  ask  for  favorites  again  and  again. 
While  the  Cantor  sang,  full-voiced 
now,  the  sick,  fearful  silence  van- 
ished from  the  tunnel.  When  a 
bomb  fell  close  by,  the  Cantor  sang 
louder.  When  the  tunnel  quivered, 
people  laughed  aloud  and  joined 
him  on  the  refrains,  shouting  them 
above  the  roar.  When  once  he 
broke  off  in  the  middle  of  a  song 
to  help  a  young  woman  give  birth 
to  a  baby,  the  people  around  him 
rushed  to  give  aid  —  and,  when  it 
was  over,  asked  him  to  sing  again. 
He  did.  British  newspapermen, 
descending  into  the  tunnel  to  hear 
him  and  report,  asked  when  he 
slept.  The  Cantor  answered  blankly 
that  he  didn't  know.  He  didn't  need 
to  know.  He  was  born  not  to  sleep, 
but  to  sing. 

Nineteen-forty  wore  on,  and  the 
Germans  now  flew  over  London  by 
day  as  well  as  night.  Just  before 
Yom  Kippur,  the  chief-rabbi,  Dr. 
Joseph  Herz,  called  the  Cantor 
aside.  "The  Yom  Kippur  service 
must  be  short,  Reverend.  Daven 
only  three-quarters  of  an  hour.  The 
officiating  Rabbi  will  signal  you 


Then  go  to  the 
shelter;  it  is  not  safe  for  the  con- 
gregation to  stay  longer."  Goldstein 
nodded  agreement.  But  on  his  way 
to  the  bima,  a  delegation  from  the 
congregation  stopped  him.  "Cantor 
—don't  cut  the  service  short.  Do 
it  as  you  do  it  every  year.  Anyone 
who  wants  to  leave  can  leave." 
Cantor  Goldstein  murmured,  "But 
the  Rabbi  has  said  .  .  ."A  member 
of  the  congregation  leaned  forward. 
"Don't  look  at  the  rabbi,"  he  sug- 
gested. "Sing." 

The  service  began.  The  Great 
Synagogue  holds  seats  for  1300  — 
but  that  day,  praying  for  them- 
selves and  their  country,  and  for 
all  the  Jews  of  Europe,  2500  En- 
glish Jews  packed  it  full.  When 
an  hour  had  gone  by,  the  warning 
siren  wailed  Take  Cover.  The 
Cantor's  eyes  searched  the  temple. 
No  one  moved.  He  dropped  his 
eyes  before  they  met  the  Rabbi's 
and  went  on  singing. 

The  drone  of  the  bombers  filled 
the  air.  The  anti-aircraft  batteries 
began  to  fire.  The  thud  of  bomb 
hits  began,  like  a  giant  walking  the 
earth.  As  the  Cantor  reached  Un- 
sane  Tokef,  a  land  mine  crashed 
into  Tottenham,  a  thousand  yards 
away.  A  window  shattered  behind 
the  choir  upstairs.  The  Cantor 
broke  off  the  prayer  and  looked 
toward  the  Rabbi,  but  an  emergen- 
cy had  called  him  from  the  syna- 
gogue. The  Cantor  spread  out  his 
arms  and  shouted  above  the  screams 
and  sirens  that  filtered  in  the  ruin- 
ed windown,  "The  service  is  overt 
Go  to  the  shelter!"  A  man  stood 
up.  "Please  continue  the  service,

Cantor  Goldstein  sang.  He  sang

then,  a  quarter  hour  into  the  ser-

back  to  the  synagogue  for  N'ilah. 
He  knew  now  that  whatever  he 
had  given  of  courage  and  faith  in 
those  dark  nights  in  the  Manor 
House  Tunnel,  had  been  returned 
in  full  measure  on  that  Yom  Kip- 
pur  day  of  bravery  and  prayer. 

A  time  of  war  breeds  many  her- 
roes.  Cantor  Goldstein  would  deny 
being  one  of  them.  "I  was  in  no 
greater  danger  than  anyone  else. 
And  it  was  easier  for  me.  Whatever 
happened,  I  could  sing."  He  could 
and  he  did.  Jakob  Goldstein  has 
sung  in  the  synagogues  and  concert 
halls  of  Paris,  London,  Poland,  Is- 
rael, South  America  and  the  United 
States;  he  has  sung  the  great  art 
songs  and  religious  music  of  his 
people  in  many  languages  and  to 
many  ears.  But  the  greatest  con- 
certs he  ever  gave,  the  ones  for 
which  he  will  be  longest  remember- 
ed and  most  beloved,  were  those 
that-  were  accompanied  by  the 
sounds  of  terror  in  the  tunnels  of 
war-time  England. 

Now  Cantor  Goldstein  serves  as 
Hazzan  of  the  Sons  of  Israel  Con- 
gregation in  Brooklyn,  New  York; 
having  made  the  U.  S.  his  new 
home  since  1951,  and  his  son,  Is- 
rael, going  in  the  cantorial  path 
of  his  father,  was  graduated  as 
cantor  this  year  from  the  Hebrew 
Union  School  for  Sacred  Music.

(Continued 

The  period  1908-1914  was  for 
Schneour  rich  in  wanderings  and 
impressions  and  blessed  in  creativ- 
ity. Some  of  his  best  poems  were 
written  during  this  period.  World 
War  I  found  him  in  Germany, 
where  he  was  detained  as  an  enemy 
alien,  and  only  in  1918  did  he  suc- 
ceed in  reaching  the  United  States. 
After  the  war  he  returned  to  Eur- 
ope and  settled  in  Berlin,  where 
he  established  the  publishing  house 
"Hasefer,"  together  with  Mr.  S. 
Salzman.  Here  he  published  his 
book  of  poems  "Bridges"  (1922), 
his  poem  "Vilno"  (1923),  his  book 
of  short  stories  "Bemetzar"  (1923) 
and  another  book  of  poems  "Hezio- 
not"   (Visions)  (1924). 

In  1923  he  settled  in  Paris,  where 
he  stayed  until  World  War  II.  In  his 
autobiographical  notes  Schneour 
writes  with  disappointment  that 
he  visited  Eretz  Israel  in  1925 
and  "looked  for  some  material 
anchor  either  in  the  literary  field 
or  in  some  other  profession,  and 
had  to  leave  the  country  with  a 
heavy  heart."  He  then  goes  on  to 
describe  the  period  of  his  participa- 
tion in  the  Yiddish  daily  Forward 
of  New  York  for  twenty-two  years. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  the  fact 
of  his  participation  in  this  daily 
contributed  in  no  small  degree  to 
the  growth  of  his  prose  work  in 
Yiddish  which  number  forty  vol- 
umes. 

Durng  the  Nazi  occupation 
period  of  Paris,  Schneour's  family 
went  through  many  bitter  moments. 
For  one-and-a-half  years  they  had 
to  hide  in  basements  until  they 
succeeded  in  escaping  to  Spain  and 
from  there  to  the  U.  S.  A.  He  ar- 
rived penniless  in  the  States,  but 
very  soon  he  settled  down  and 
established  a  fine  home,  as  in  Paris. 
Yet,  he  did  not  give  up  his  idea 


Schneour 

from  Page  23) 

of  settling  in  Israel,  and  succeeding 
in  realizing  this  dream  nine  years 
ago  when  he  became  a  citizen  of 
Ramat  Gan.  After  that  he  con- 
sidered himself  a  guest  whenever 
he  visited  the  United  States. 

Scheour  wrote  more  than  sixty 
volumes  of  poetry  and  prose  in 
Hebrew  and  in  Yiddish.  He  became 
famous  both  as  a  Hebrew  poet  and 
Yiddish  novelist.  Most  of  his  Yid- 
dish novels  he  reworked  into 
Hebrew  and  published  in  Israel 
during  the  last  ten  years.  With- 
out any  intention  of  detracting 
from  the  importance  of  his  novels 
or  from  his  talents  we  must  state 
here  that  his  real  greatness  was 
in  the  field  of  poetry,  and  that  his 
talent  as  a  poet  found  its  expres- 
sion almost  exclusively  in  a 
mighty  and  unique  form,  in  the 
Hebrew  language. 

We  will  not  analyse  here  all  the 
reasons  nor  count  all  the  causative 
factors,  but  we  will  mention  a  few 
circumstances  which  brought  this 
about.  It  is  in  the  nature  of  poetry, 
even  stormy  and  tempestuous 
poetry,  even  poetry  of  epic  propor- 
tions that  its  main  force  is  a 
concentrated  one  and  its  words 
are  the  quintessence  of  feeling  and 
thought,  both  in  the  short  and 
polished  verse  and  the  measured 
and  weighted  poem. 

Not  so  in  prose,  where  the  main 
role  is  given  to  the  broad  canvas, 
to  the  multicolored  landscape  and 
the  exhaustive  description. 

Schneour,  in  whose  soul  two 
lived,  not  without  permanent 
struggle,  a  poet  and  a  novelist, 
found  the  right  channel  for  his 
poetic  talent,  for  his  talent  as  a 
poet  in  Hebrew,  and  for  his  talent 
as  a  story-teller  in  Yiddish.  True 
in  his  later  years  he  made  consider- 
able   efforts    to    rework  several

Yiddish  novels,  including  "Noah 
Pandre"  and  his  historical  novels 
like  "The  Emperor  and  the  Rabbi" 
into  Hebrew  and  they  were  quite 
a  success  in  Israel.  On  the  other 
hand,  he  wrote  Yiddish  poems,  as 
he  had  written  Hebrew  poems  in 
his  youth,  and  from  time  to  time 
he  demonstrated  his  bilinguality  on 
this  score.  And  yet  Schneour  re- 
mained in  the  main,  in  its  essence, 
la  Hebrew  poet  and  a  Yiddish  story- 
teller with  all  the  consequences  of 
such  a  double  track  creativity. 

And,  again,  we  do  not  intend 
to  analyze  the  reasons  for  it.  We 
will  only  state  certain  conclusions; 
Schneour  has  played  a  nonforget 
table  role  in  Hebrew  renaissance 
poetry.  He  is  one  of  the  very  great 
and  has  fulfilled  a  historic  mis- 
sion in  this  field.  Schneour,  the 
prose  writer,  is  a  story-teller  a 
la  Balzac;  colorful,  humoristic,  with 
a  humor  bordering  on  sarcasm  and 
satire,  and  psychologically  acute 
and  observing,  but  his  prose  cannot 
compare  with  his  poetic  stature. 
I  And  some  of  his  novels,  like  "The 
'Emperor  and  the  Rabbi",  did  not 
reach  the  innermost  soul  and  the 
'most  important  spiritual  qualities 
of  their  heroes,  although  even  in 
these  novels  Schneour  charms  the 
Header  with  all  the  colors  of  his 
palete  and  with  his  strong  descrip- 
tive ability.  Let's  state,  frankly,  that 
Schneour  is  one  of  the  lions  of 
:  modern  Hebrew  poetry,  but  he  is 
jnot  the  king  of  Yiddish  prose  and 
[surely  not  the  monarch  of  Hebrew 
'prose. 

Another  peculiarity  of  his  prose 
lis  that  his  first  stories,  written  in 
Hebrew  and  published  two  years 
'after  his  first  poems  in  1910,  do  not 
■  reveal  the  same  ripe  talent  as  is 
manifested  in  his  first  poems.  There 
His.  a  certain  limitation,  a  style  rem- 
■  iniscent  of  the  dark,  pessimistic  and 
b  ather  awkward  story-telling  of  that 
[time  without  the  broad  scope  and 
the  lively  style  and  the  full  colors 
of  his  later-day  novels.  Only  in  his 
middle  years  did  Schneour  begin  to 
write  his  ripe  prose  and  won  fame 
with  his  Shklov  novels.  But  this 
happened  much  later,  after  he  had 
reached  his  apogee  as  a  poet. 

Another  peculiarity  characteristic 
of  Schneour's  prose  is  that  it  is 
mostly  a  monument  to  the  past,  de^ 


scribing  Jewish  life  in  the  Pale, 
at  the  turn  of  the  century,  or  early 
in  the  19th  century,  not  with  an 
intent  to  glorify  it,  or  to  sing  the 
praise  of  the  shtetl,  but  to  describe 
it  realistically  with  a  realism 
bordering  on  naturalism,  and  at 
the  same  time  with  a  forcefulness 
and  liveliness  that  gave  it  symbolic 
significance.  He  is  in  love  with  the 
masses,  with  his,  now  almost  classi- 
cal type  of  Noah  Pandre.  On  one 
hand,  and  with  the  great  spiritual 
personalites  like  the  Vilno  Gaon  on 
the  other.  Yet.  at  the  same  time  he 
sees  the  weaknesses  of  the  shtetl 
and  is  not  loathe  to  describe  them. 
On  the  other  hand,  his  poetry  is 
in  the  main,  poetry  of  the  future 
or  of  the  legendary  past. 

His  role  in  Hebrew  poetry  can 
hardly  be  described  in  one  short 
essay.  He  began  as  a  revolutionary 
and  a  hedonist,  a  follower  of 
Nietzsche,  and  as  a  man  who  de- 
spised the  shackles  of  tradition  and 
conventions.  His  poems  were  full 
of  metaphysical  struggles  and 
doubts  manifestly  groppng  for  a 
goal  and  content  in  life.  Nature 
and  landscape  were  not  of  great 
interest  to  him;  he  devoted  his 
main  attention  to  the  fate  of  man, 
of  nation  and  universe.  He  de- 
scribed in  rather  sharp  terms  the 
eternal  man-woman  struggle  in  the 
spirit  of  Otto  Weininger's  theory. 
He  was  the  poet  of  the  city,  but 
he  was  no  stranger  to  nature.  What- 
ever he  had  to  say  he  said  with 
force,  with  vision  and  beauty  in 
masterly  verse  and  multicolored  and 
shining  language,  original  and 
mighty,  full  of  pathos  but  at  the 
same  time  without  the  slightest 
banality.  This  is  the  reason  why

times  a  single  poem  was  an  event 
in  Hebrew  literature  in  the  renais- 
sance epoch.  His  eroticism  had  a 
purely  physical  character.  In  this 
respect  he  did  not  change  from 
the  time  his  poem  "Pragim" 
(Poppy-Seed  Flowers),  the  poem 
which  may  be  termed  as  a  hymn 
of  passions,  appeared  and  until  he 
wrote  "Luchoth  Genuzim,"  one  of 
his  later  poetic  works  which  ap- 
peared first  in  the  United  States, 
and  was  supposed  to  serve  as  a 
mouthpiece  for  all  the  hedonistic 
elements  in  ancient  times,  for  all 
the  false  prophets  whose  words 
were  not  preserved  after  the 
biblical  traditionalists  won  a  vic- 
tory over  them.  But  his  over- 
emphasis of  eroticism,  as  his  Nietz- 
scheism,  mellowed  as  time  went  on. 
and  so  changed  his  almost  hateful 
attitude  towards  woman  in  the 
sense  of  enmity  of  the  sexes.  It  was 
none  other  than  Schneour  who  ex- 
claimed in  the  end,  "Woman  is  the 
golden  window  to  eternity  and  in- 
finity, and  in  this  is  her  great- 
ness." 

Attempts  have  been  made  to  pig- 
eonhole Schneour  as  a  neo-romanti- 
cist,  an  expressionist,  a  Schopen- 
hauer pupil  and  a  Nietzsche-fol- 
lower. He  was  each  of  these  things 
to  a  degree  in  certain  periods  of 
his  creativity  but,  in  the  main,  he 
was  himself,  Zalman  Schneour,  a 
poetic  personality,  full  of  contra- 
dictions and  pain,  proud  and  sar- 
castic and  at  the  same  time  soft  and 
lyrical,  lonely  and  bitter,  mild  and 
dreamy,  egocentrical,  yet  a  good 
comrade.  For  Schneour  could  be  a 
devoted  friend,  and  could  be  objec- 
tive if  it  was  a  matter  with  which 
he  was  not  concerned  directly,  in  a 
literary  or  personal  way.  Regret- 
tably, there  were  all  too  many 
things  with  which  he  was  concerned 
in  a  literary  and  personal  way,  and 
then  he  could  become  stormy  and 
cantankerous.  But  let  it  be  said  that 
even  in  his  moments  of  ire  he  never 
stepped  over  the  boundary  of  the 
threatening  posture.  His  bitter  at- 
tacks and  personal  emnities  will  be 
forgotten.  His  great  work  will  re- 
main. 


His  fame  as  a  national  poet  was 
won  very  early  in  life  with  his  'Tin  I 
Tslilei  Hamandolina"  (Listening 
to  the  Strains  of  a  Mandolin)  where 
he  was  one  of  the  first  to  develop 
in  Chapter  II  ("Neginot  Israel") 
the  theme  of  bitter  enmity  to  the 
people  of  Israel  on  the  part  of  the 
external  world,  based  largely  on 
biological  hedonism.  To  these  very 
days,  said  Schneour,  vengeance  is 
taken  on  the  Jewish  people  for  the 
victory  of  monotheism  over  the  old 
idols  .  .  .  They  cannot  forgive  it. 
The  solution  is  the  renaissance  ol 
the  Jewish  people  in  the  land  of 
their  fathers. 

Schneour  was  also  one  of  the 
first,  if  not  the  very  first,  who  fore- 
saw in  the  prophetic  spirit  of  a 
great  poet,  the  black  clouds  of  bar- 
barism which  began  to  threaten 
European  Jewry,  and  he  foresaw 
this  before  the  First  World  War. 
In  1913  he  wrote  a  poem  called 
"Y'mei  Habeinaim  Mitkarvim" 
(The  Days  of  the  Middle  Ages  are 
Approaching)  where  he  declared: 

The  Middle  Ages  are  approaching- 

'do  you  heed,  do  you  sense,  O' 

man  of  soul, 
The  stir  of  their  creeping  dust, 

their  distant  smell  of  sulphur? 
And  that  intangible  oppression  in 

the  air,  in  the  heart,  everywhere, 
As  if  at  an  oncoming  eclipse  - 

where  houses  turn  ashen-gray 

and  shaky, 
The  blue  sky— leaden;  the  cows  low 

restlessly  with  fear, 
And  grass  and  tree  assume  a  silvery 

hue,  the  tinge  of  cellar-damp, 
And  human  faces  freeze,  and  look 

strange  as  do  wax  masks? 

The  twenty-six-year-old  poet  felt 
that  the  dark  forces  of  reaction  and 
anti-semitism  are  threatening  de 
struction  for  the  Jewish  people, 
that  enlightenment  and  liberalism 
are  but  a  passing  dream  and  that 
the  Middle  Ages  are  sure  to  return 
as  night  follows  day.  He  foresaw 
the  beginning  of  the  European  hoi 
ocaust  in  times  of  deepest  quietude, 
buergerliche  Gemuetlichkeit,  and 
superficial  peace.  He  warns  the 
Jewish  people,  as  Bialik  warned

them  in  the  days  of  the  Nemirov 
'pogrom: 

Enough  dying  like  martyrs,  leaving 
the  world  to  the  unclean! 

;You  shall  die  the  death  of  all  cre- 
ators, who  consume  and  are  con- 

,    sumed  in  the  world 
For  the  sake  of  the  new  arising, 

i    with    innocence,    with  pristine 
mystery  in  their  eyes  .  .  . 
A  great  national  monument  is  his 

'poem  "Vilno."  It  was  written  in  a 
lyrical  tone  and  composed  in  a  pe- 
riod of  great  and  stormy  events. 
Schneour  tried  to  give  eternal  life 
in  his  poem  to  the  historical  Jewish 
monuments  in  the  town  of  Vilno, 
the  Jerusalem  of  Lithuania,  the 

[grave  of  the  Ger  Tsedek,  the  Polish 
nobleman,  Count  Potocky,  who 
embraced  the  Jewish  religion,  the 

printing  press  of  the  widow  Rom 

,and  other  symbols  of  Jewish  spirit- 
ual greatness.  He  gives  a  striking 

i  picture   of  the  invisible  struggle 

;  between  Ostra  Brama,  the  symbol 
of  the  ruling  Catholic  Church,  and 
the  center  of  Jewish  learning  and 
scholarship,  the  house  which 
spread  the  light  of  the  Book.  "Vil- 
no" is  a  great  lyrical  work  of  rare 
clarity  and  depth,  and  we  have  a 
feeling  that  the  poet's  eye  sees  from 
afar  the  destruction  of  "Lithuanian 
Jerusalem"  approaching  with  slow 
but  sure  steps  coming  some  thirty- 
odd  years  later. 

The  Russian  revolution  was  one 
'of  his  early  disappointments.  He 
|saw  in  it  an  awakening  of  danger- 
jous  and  negative  forces,  and  warned 
his  people  not  to  participate  in  this

"revolutionary  drinking  orgy"  of 
the  outside  world.  He  also  admon- 
ishes his  people  not  to  forgive  the 
pogrom  bands  of  the  Ukranians 
who  spilled  innocent  Jewish  blood 
because  "the  refuge  of  every  wicked 
man  is  —  forgiveness." 

In  Zion  he  saw  then,  as  in  later 
years,  the  real  solution  and  the  only 
answer  to  all  persecution  and  to  all 
evils  of  the  European  nations.  His 
hedonism  turns  more  and  more 
into  humanism  and  deep  love  for 
the  martyred  Jewish  people.  This 
makes  him  forget  his  earlier  the- 
ories of  supermen  and  titans.  It  is 
the  spirit  of  Israel  which  is 
destined  to  fight  and  conquer  idol- 
atry or,  as  he  stated  in  "The  Days 
of  the  Middle  Ages  are  Approach- 
ing:" 

Your  task  is  not  yet  fulfilled,  O 
eternal  people! 

The  play  has  not  yet  reached  its 
end. 

The  heavy  curtain  has  not  yet  been 
lowered;  millions  of  eyes  are  still 
uplifted 

To  you,  and  to  the  climax  of  the 
drama,  eyes  of  friend  and  foe 
alike. 

If  nations,  invidious,  whistle  in 
scoffing,  do  not  lose  heart; 

Remember,  their  uncircumcised 
hearts,  too,  secretly  look  forward 

To  the  end  of  the  sublime  perform- 
ance which,  for  thousands  ot 
years,  has  unfolded  before  them. 

Then  you  will  order  the  curtain  to 
come  down,  as  your  agitated  spir- 
it quiets; 

And  remain  alone  with  your  vic- 
tory, ere  the  whole  world

was  difficult  to  believe  that  the 
Justice  is  more  than  76  years  of 
age  and  that  he  has  recently  suf- 
fered a  heart  attack.  His  hair  is 
completely  white  but  his  eyes  are 
lively  and  sparkling  and  every  re- 
mark that  he  made  was  clear  and 
incisive. 

Justice  frankfurter  began  his 
response  by  modestly  disclaiming 
Mr.  Segal's  words  of  praise.  Never- 
theless, he  expressed  his  gratitude 
lor  the  recognition  extended  to  him 
by  the  Farband.  We  had  the  im- 
pression that  he  was  particularly 
pleased  that  a  major  Jewish  organ- 
ization took  note  of  his  services  to 
the  Jewish  people. 

Justice  Frankfurter  devoted  a  few 
moments  to  Mr.  Segal's  remark 
about  the  Justice's  integral  role 
as  a  Jew  and  an  American.  He 
was  particularly  gratified  by  this 
part  of  Mr.  Segal's  citation,  he 
stated,  and  by  the  emphasis  on 
his  role  in  the  Zionist  movement. 
Justice  Frankfurter  acknowledged 
that  he  had  debated  with  himself 
whether  or  not  he  should  accept 
th  Farband  Award  because  of  his 
"strong  feeling  that  a  judge  is  not 
to  be  rewarded  in  any  way  for  his 
judicial  labors." 

"I  interpret  your  Award,"  he 
said,  "not  as  recognition  of  my 
work  as  a  member  of  the  Supreme 
Court  but  as  a  response  to  the  total 
endeavor  of  my  life  and,  more  par- 
ticularly, for  that  share  of  it  which 
relates  to  my  participation  as  an 
American  Jew  to  bring  to  pass  what 
is  now  Israel  with  its  decade  of 
glorious  achievement.  That  is  the 
bond  between  Farband  and  me  and 
I  am  grateful  to  you  for  the  Award 
which  strengthens  this  fellowship." 

This  concluded  the  official  part 
of  the  ceremony.  The  delegation 
remained  a  while  longer  tor  an 
informal  talk.  Mr.  Segal,  who  had 
just  returned  from  Israel  where 
he  had  participated  in  the  meeting 
of  the  Zionist  Actions  Committee 
related  to  Justice  Frankfurter  sev- 
eral new  developments  in  the  Jew- 
ish State.  Justice  Frankfurter  asked 
about  the  newly  appointed  Israel 
Ambassador  to  Washington,  Abra- 
ham  Harmon,  and  about  a  number 
of  other  matters.  It  was  clear  that 
the  Justice  is  well  informed  about 
Israel  and  Jewish  life  in  general. 

The  time  spent  with  Justice 
Frankfurter  will  long  remain  in 


the  memories  of  all  the  participants. 
As  we  left  his  chambers,  we  all 
had  the  feeling  that  we  had  been 
in  the  presence  of  one  of  the  great- 
est figures  of  our  generation,  a 
deep  thinker  and  scholar  and  one 
who  had  made  a  great  contribution 
to  American  life  over  many  decades. 

The  Farband  Labor  Zionist 
Order  may  be  proud  of  its  decision 
to  present  its  Annual  Award  to 
Justice  Felix  Frankfurter.  We  can 
think  of  no  one  who  deserves  it 
more.

"Nusach  Ari"  —  A  Strange  Ceremony 

(Concluded  from  Page  97) 


in  a  few  weeks,  in  time  to  hold 
Passover  services  in  its  new  ciuart- 
ers.  There  Ins  been  a  good  deal  of 
renovation,  remodeling  and  expan- 
sion since  those  days.  But  the  build- 
ling  is  the  same  where  Reverend 
Schluegel  had  served  his  God,  in 
litis  way,  forty  years. 

All  this  happened  in  the  spring 
bf  1914.  When,  late  the  following 
summer,     the     Kaiser  launched 
World  War  I,  Reverend  Schluegel 
suddenly   remembered  something 
ne  had  overlooked  for  forty  years. 
He  was  not  an  American  citizen. 
[He  was  an  "alien."  The  conflict 
between  his  love  for  his  German 
?atherland  and  his  love  for  Ameri- 
an,  the  West  and  humanity  was 
■loo  much  lor  the  man.  Soon,  he 
|  lied  in  his  sleep  one  night  of  a 
lean  attack.  Some  men,  like  my 


lather,  said  he  had  died  of  a  brok- 
en heart. 

1  wonder  how  many  more  years 
this  graveside  ceremony,  during 
the  Passover  season,  will  continue 
to  be  observed  by  the  members  of 
Nusach  Ari.  1  hope  that  the  child- 
ren and  the  grandchildren  of  my 
father  and  of  old  Mr.  Meierson 
never  forget. 


According  to  a  local  communist 
daily  printed  in  Paris,  Moscow 
publishing  houses  have  issued  more 
than  50  books  by  Soviet  Jewish 
writers  in  the  last  two  years.  The 
report  in  Neue  Presse  did  not 
mention  any  books  published  in 
Yiddish,  declaring  only  that  Jewish 
works  had  been  published  in  the 
Russian  language.

Peeping  through  the  loaves  of  bread  are  Pam  Berlin,  Belle  Zwerdling, 
Gail  Silverman,  and  Claudia  Firestone,  members  of  Jewish  Community 
Center  Camp  Kadima.  Tue  group  visited  the  City  Bakery. 


At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Jewish  Com- 
munity Council,  the  members  went 
on  record  approving  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  committee  to  study  the 
possibility  of  purchasing  a  day 
camp  site  for  year-round  use.  Mr. 
Leroy  Spigel  has  been  appointed 
chairman  of  the  site  committee.  A 
proposed  site  has  been  located  in 
the  Williamsburg  area,  and  any- 
one interested  in  visiting  this  site 
may  obtain  information  by  calling 
Mr.  Spigel  or  the  Jewish  Center. 
Other  suggestions  are  also  welcome. 

The  Grand  Club  executive  com- 
mittee, headed  by  Mr.  Kenneth 
Arch,  president,  has  been  busy  the 
past  few  weeks  outlining  a  pro- 
gram for  the  coming  winter  months. 
Among  the  highlights  are  Yiddish 
films,  inter-city  trips,  and  the  an- 
nual Chanukah  luncheon  for  all 
Golden-Agers  from  Norfolk,  Rich- 
mond, and  Portsmouth.  Other 
programs  will  be  announced  later. 

The  Newport  News  -  Warwick 
Chapter  of  Senior  Hadassah  will 
hold  its  Fall  dance  on  Saturday 
evening,  September  19.  The  entire 
community  is  invited  to  attend. 


For  the  very  first  time  Jews  were 
invited  to  and  participated  in  the 
celebration  of  St.  John  the  Baptist 
Day,  a  French  Canadian  national 
festival,  in  Montreal.  The  invita 
lion  was  made  by  the  Societe  St. 
Jean  Baptiste,  which  sponsors  the 
annual  event.  According  to  reports, 
the  Jewish  delegates,  representing 
Cercle  Juif  de  Langue  Francaise, 
were  well  received. 


The  Jewish  Community  Center 
Nursery  and  Kindergarten  will  of- 
ficially open  on  Monday,  Septem- 
ber 14.  The  staff,  Mrs.  Charles  Nix- 
on and  Mrs.  Charles  Olshansky,. 
will  be  happy  to  answer  any  ques- 
tions about  the  Center's  Kinder- 
garten program.

Zalman  Schneour 

(Concluded  from  Page  109) 


Passes  on  to  the  period  of  great 
brotherhood,  to  a  God  unfore- 
seen by  prophets, 

And  to  a  life  undreamed-of  by  sing- 
ers ..  .  Prepare  for  the  lofty  scene 
O  Israeli 

The  days  of  transition  are  ap- 
proaching. (*) 

In  the  last  resort  he  returned  to 
the  old  and  new  theory  of  the  Jew- 
ish mission  among  the  nations  as  a 
protagonist  of  the  godly  spirit  and 


he  accepted  Jewish  martryology  as 
an  unfavorable  historical  develop- 
ment. His  final  answer  was:  To  be 
stiff-necked  and  unyielding,  to  be 
daring  and  courageous! 

The  youth  of  Israel  has  definitely 
accepted  this  final  answer  by  our 
national  poet. 

(*)  The  translation  of  the  frag- 
ments from  the  poem  "The  Days  of 
the  Middle  Ages  Are  Approaching" 
is  by  Prof.  Simon  Halkin.

Time  And  Judgement 

(Concluded  from  Page  37) 
belongs  to  the  heart  of  the  seer 
and  the  prophet  and  not  to  the 
dictum  of  the  Ceasar,  ruthless  or 
benign.  In  fact,  it  may  be  cheering 
to  those  who  take  the  transition 
of  the  year  with  any  seriousness 
to  know  that  perhaps  this  year 
will  mark  the  first  major  exposure 
of  the  moral  incompetence  of 
worldly  powers  to  rule  aye  or  nay 
on  the  question  of  human  surviv- 
al. The  footstool  is  shaking.  There 
is  a  question  abroad.  It  is  sudden- 
ly everywhere  being  asked  whether 
or  no  those  empowered  to  deter- 
mine man's  begging  or  man's  end 
must  not  be  celestially  sanctioned. 

If  one  knows  where  to  look,  one 
can  behold  the  signs.  There  are 
unique  possibilities  in  the  judge- 
ment at  hand. 

There  are  no  alternatives  to  the 
miracle  that  ensues.

WHEN  YOUR  INCOME  STOPS! 


Few  men  like  to  think  of  what  would  happen  to  their 
families  if  their  income  would  stop.  If  you  should  die 
prematurely,  your  family  would  be  faced  with  this 
problem.  P'irst  of  all,  they  would  need  a  cash  sum  of 
money  to  pay  your  outstanding  bills,  your  final  ex- 
penses, the  mortgage  on  your  home,  etc.  They  would 
then  need  an  income  for  a  definite  period  of  time  to 
readjust  themselves.  This  financial  problem  which 
your  family  would  face  in  the  event  of  your  prema- 
ture death  can  be  solved  with  our  Family  Income 
policy.  You  can  provide  a  definite  sum  of  money  to 
clean  up  your  outstanding  bills  and  leave  your  family 
a  monthly  income  of  $100  or  $200  or  more  a  month 
for  one  your,  two  years,  or  longer  period  of  time. 
Should  you  live,  this  same  plan  guarantees  an  income 
to  you  when  old  age  stops  your  earning  ability.  Why 
not  put  your  dollars  to  work  now  and  save  for  the 
future  the  Life  Insurance  Way?

Judaism  Will  Live  on  Forever 


Guest  Editorial  By  RABBI  NORMAN  N.  SHAPIRO 
of  Beth  El  Congregation 
Akron,  Ohio 

Somebody  once  quipped  —  "A  dictatorship  is  a  tired 
democracy."  As  I  pen  these  lines  I  recall  how  not  so  long 
ago  it  was  my  privilege  to  listen  to  a  distinguished  Presbyter- 
ian minister  from  Pittsburgh  describe  a  meeting  of  that  city's 
clergy  with  the  Office  of  Civilian  Defense.  The  gist  of  the 
talks  was  that  in  atomic  warfare  75  million  Americans  would 
be  incinerated  in  the  first  moments  of  battle.  In  addition, 
30  million  would  suffer  first  degree  burns  and  15  million 
would  experience  second  degree  burns.  These  are  the  reali- 
ties of  the  situation.  Total  annihilation  is  the  inevitable  re- 
sult of  today's  atomic  age.  This  is  the  grim  prospect  which 
awaits  all  of  us  —  the  specter  of  death,  ruin,  mangled  bodies 
and  tortured  minds. 


For  us  Jews  terrifying  news  like  the  above  comes  as  no 
new  or  novel  experience.  We  have  known  suffering,  persecu- 
tion, and  even  the  threat  of  total  obliteration  for  the  last 
12,000  years.  We  have  always  in  the  past  tried  to  objectify 
ourselves  be  being  realistic.  We  have  never  blinked  the  facts 
or  glossed  over  the  harsh  realities  which  faced  us. 

In  a  similar  vein  today  we  must  remain,  (  as  we  have 
peen  for  centuries  throughout  our  long  and  tortuous  history,) 
incurably  optimistic  despite  the  current  threat  of  atomic  attack 
and  the  disillusioning  experiences  our  Jewish  people,  particu- 
larly in  the  20th  century,  have  endured  under  the  Nazis, 
(Fascists,  and  Communists. 

It  is  interesting  and  reassuring  to  note  that  the  current 
'crisis"  theology  and  philosophy  of  Existentialism  with  its 
nood  of  pessimism  and  man's  helplessness,  its  feeling  of  futil- 
ty  and  purposelessness  (which  have  characterized  some  re- 
bent  Christian  theology  as  well)  have  had  little  impact  or 
effect  on  modern  Judaism.  Modern  Judaism  still  clings  to  its 
ige-old  faith,  and  represents  to  us  Jews  and  to  the  world  a 
partnership  between  God  and  man  to  promote  social,  scientific, 
ind  political  programs  leading  to  the  establishment  of  a  better, 
nore  livable  society. 

True,  Judaism  recognizes  that  civilization  today  stands 
In  the  shadow  of  doom  and  destruction.  We  know  that 
mmanity  is  facing  cataclysmic  changes,  political  and  economic 
evolutions  with  their  concomitant  social  upheavals.  We  are 
ware  that  the  unleashing  of  missiles  and  rockets  could  reduce 
jhe  world  we  live  in  to  rubble  and  devastation.  In  adhering 
o  our  religious  teachings  and  ethical  pronouncements,  we 
doggedly  persist  in  seeing  in  man  a  responsible,  moral  agent 
jrtio  has  the  power  to  choose  between  life  and  death.  The 
|,ew  remains  the  inveterate  optimist  regarding  the  future, 
ully  cognizant  of  man's  intermittent  moral  lapses  and  religi- 
ous backsliding. 


As  we  approach  the  High  Holydays,  we  remain  firm  in 
our  conviction  as  Jews  that  man's  divine  potential  can  build 
a  better  present  and  foster  a  securer  and  more  promising 
tomorrow.  The  Bible  enjoins  us,  "Uvacharta  Bachayim"  — 
"And  thou  shalt  choose  life." 

The  Jewish  survivors  of  the  Warsaw  Ghetto  during  the 
bleak  and  harrowing  days  of  World  War  II  still  sang  out  "Ani 
Maamin"  —  "I  believe  in  the  coming  of  the  Messiah,"  though 
the  Messiah  did  tarry.  Even  with  the  unforseeable  delays  and 
seemingly  insurmountable  obstacles,  "I  shall  continue  to 
believe,"  was  his  clarion  call  and  cry  for  survival. 

Judaism  rooted  in  optimism  has  always  understood  that 
we  must  not  get  too  tired,  impatient,  or  restless  with  the  slow 
process  of  a  Messianic  fulfillment,  with  a  democracy  which 
shows  stresses,  strains,  and  indecisiveness.  "Vaf  al  pi  sheyitmah- 
mea  bechol  zeh  ani  maamin,"  —  "Even  thought  at  times  we 
are  disappointed  we  shall  still  believe  in  the  ultimate  triumph 
of  good  over  evil;  of  freedom  over  tyranny;  of  right  over  wrong; 
of  a  free  America  and  a  free  world  over  the  myrmidons  of  evil; 
of  optimism  over  pessimism;  of  our  Jewish  way  of  life  over 
those  who  would  uproot  it." 

Our  credo  is:  "Am  yisroel  chai  vkayom  leolom  vaed"  — 
"that  Jews  and  Judaism  will  live  on  forever  and  ever."  Ours 
is  the  sacred  task  of  infusing  life  into  our  American  democ- 
racy at  every  turn  where  people  of  all  faiths  can  live  side 
by  side,  where  there  can  be  unity  in  diversity,  and  where 
each  person  can  sit  under  his  vine  and  fig  tree  and  none 
shall  make  them  afraid.  Ours  is  the  responsibility  to  revitalize 
the  state  of  Israel  in  every  way  possible.  Ours  is  the  privilege 
and  right  to  foster,  sustain,  and  nourish  democratic  institu- 
tions wherever  liberty-loving  peoples  need  help  or  encourage- 
ment. Ours  is  an  affirmative  belief  in  Judaism,  a  religious 
civilization  cradled  in  ancient  Palestine  and  finding  expres- 
sion wherever  the  ubiquitous  Jew  trods.  Ours  is  an  optimism 
nurtured  in  the  traditions  and  experiences  of  the  past  and 
predicated  on  our  ineluctable  trust  in  the  future  of  mankind. 

A  Tribute  to  the  Ladies 

The  biennial  convention  of  the  National  Council  of  Jew- 
ish Women,  recently  concluded  at  Los  Angeles,  markd  a  birth- 
day we  are  sure  will  not  be  overlooked  in  the  Jewish  commu- 
nity of  America— the  65th  anniversary  of  one  of  the  oldest  and 
in  many  ways  the  youngest  major  Jewish  women's  organization 
in  the  world. 

There  is  temptation  in  this  accolade  to  the  ladies  to  re- 
capitulate in  detail  some  of  the  milestones  of  the  organization, 
and  were  it  not  for  economy  of  space  we  might  do  just  that  at 
least  with  respect  to  some  of  its  achievements  last  year. 

One  of  the  most  rewarding  events  for  the  Council  last 
year,  in  our  opinion,  was  the  dedication  of  a  beautiful  new 
modern  building  for  the  School  of  Education  of  Hebrew  Uni-

PLAIN  TALK 

By  ALFRED  SEGAL 


THE  LADY'S  HAIR 

In  this  column  I  am  always  get- 
ting complaints  on  Jewish  prob- 
lems, most  of  which  I  easily  solve  in 
the  way  of  my  wisdom.  But  this 
Jewish  problem  .  .  .  this  one  that 
the  mailman  has  just  dropped  on 
my  desk.  It's  all  about  Jewish  la- 
dies hair  .  .  .  and  what  do  I  know? 


ALFRED  SEGAL 


It  came  from  a  Jewish  lady  hair 
dresser  in  another  city,  and  all  I 
know  about  hair  dressing  is  my 
own  wife's.  Once  a  month  I  have 
to  drive  her  out  to  a  distant  suburb 
where  she  has  her  hair  dressed. 
That's  about  all  I  know  of  such 
matters. 

That  hair  dresser's  letter  calls  on 
this  column  to  institute  a  campaign 
against  Jewish  women  wearing  shei- 
tls  any  longer  .  .  .  those  wigs  that 
Orthodox  young  women  are  sup- 
posed religiously  to  put  on  their 
heads  after  their  weddngs  .  .  .  for 
marital  righteousness'  sake  ...  so 
that  no  other  men  should  be  at- 
tracted by  their  beauty. 

"In  other  words,"  says  this  hair 
dresser,  "a  Jewish  married  girl  is 
supposed  to  make  herself  as  unat- 
tractive as  possible  under  a  wig  or 
sheitel." 

What  caused  the  hair  dresser  to 
bother  herself  thus  is  something  she 
has  just  read  in  the  Jewish  press.  It 
was  about  the  wedding  of  the  beau- 
tful  daughter  of  a  very  Orthodox 
rabbi  in  New  York.  She  had  just 
been  married  at  a  gorgeous  affair 
at  the  Waldorf  Astoria. 

"The  paper  printed  her  picture, 
and  such  a  lovely  looking  girl!" 
this  hair  dresser  was  sayii^f.  "As  an 


expert  I  could  tell  at  a  glance  at 
the  picture  what  a  gift  of  beautiful 
hair  she  had  on  her  head  from  na- 
ture. 

"But  I  felt  so  sad  when  I  read 
that  shortly  after  her  wedding  she 
was  going  to  have  her  hair  cut  to 
be  replaced  by  a  sheitel.  Oh,  Mr. 
Segal,  can't  something  be  done  to 
stop  her?" 

The  nair  dresser  was  remember- 
ing her  own  grandma  .  .  .  "What  a 
pitiful  sight  grandma  was  under 
her  sheitel.  Often  it  was  on  her 
head  crooked.  And  so  were  sheitils 
on  other  heads  when  I  was  a  small 
girl.  You  yourself,  Mr.  Segal,  must 
be  old  enough  to  recall  sheitels  on 
many  grandmas,  and  how  awful  a 
poor  old  grandma  looked  under 
one.  My  own  grandma  made  me 
promise  I'd  put  a  sheitel  on  after  I 
married  and  I  hope  her  saintly 
character  up  there  in  heaven  will 
forgive  me  for  not  keeping  my 
promises.  Instead  of  wearing  a  shei- 
tel I  became  a  hair  dresser  to  help 
keep  ladies'  heads  beautiful." 

Yes,  she  admitted,  sheitels  have 
fallen  out  of  fashion  .  .  .  "But,"  she 
said,  "I'm  worried.  Will  this  rabbi's 
lovely  daughter  who  was  married  at 
the  Waldorf  start  the  fashion  all 
over  when  she  cuts  off  her  hair  and 
puts  on  a  sheitel  instead?  You 
know  how  women  are.  They  like 
to  follow  new  fashions  that  start 
out  of  high  places  like  the  Wal- 
dorf. And  if  sheitels  become  pop- 
ular again,  what  w\ll  become  of 
my  hair  dressing  business? 

"Oh,  Mr.  Segal,  let's  get  vigor- 
ously busy  on  that." 

As  a  columnist  who  likes  to  serve 
a  cause  in  a  scholarly  way,  I  first 
looked  up  the  history  of  sheitels. 
The  Talmud  cautions  women  nev- 
er to  go  out  with  their  heads  un- 
covered. Already  in  Talmudic 
times  women  covered  their  own 
heads  with  the  shorn  hair  of  other 
women  —  wigs,  that  is.  One  of  our 
books  of  wisdom,  The  Zohar,  calls 
the  covered  head  of  one's  wife  "the 
chastity  of  the  house." 

But,  not  always,  far  back  there, 
did  Jewish  women  wear  wigs  with 
which  to  cover  their  heads  after 
they  had  shaved  them.  In  the  mid- 
dle Ages  they  used  to  cover  their 
shorn  heads  with  coifs  which  were 
made  of  semi-stiff  silk.  On  the  front 
of  the  coif  they  wore  silk  braids,

In  fact,  it  was  later— several  hun- 
dred years  later  —  that  our  grand- 
mas began  to  wear  the  sheitel  — 
made  of  other  women's  hair  —  to 
cover  their  own  shaven  heads,  for 
virtue's  sake.  But  the  Chassidim 
were  all  against  the  sheitel.  They 
insisted  it  was  only  a  pretense,  that 


the  sheitel  looked  as  if  the  wearers 
had  their  own  hair  on,  uncovered. 
The  Chassidim  ordered  the  sheitel 
off  their  own  wives'  shaven  heads 
and  replaced  them  by  other  kinds 
of  covering. 

Well,  now  the  sheitel  has  become 
all  out  of  date  among  the  Jewish 
girls;  but  its  idea  remains  religious-

American  Jewry  on  the  Threshold 

By  Dr.  Harry  M.  Orlinsky 

Professor  of  Bible-Hebrew  Union  College 
Jewish  Institute  of  Religion 

Dr.  Orlinsky  originally  presented  these  remarks  on  accepting  the  1939 
Frank  L.  Weil  Award  of  the  National  Jewish  Welfare  Board  (JWB)  for 
"distinguished  contribution  to  the  development  of  an  American  Jewish 
culture."  The  Editor. 


DR.  HARRY  M.  ORLINSKY 


A  short  five  years  ago  American 
Jewry  celebrated  the  Tercentenary 
of  its  birth.  Much  was  written, 
orated,  predicted,  and  even  bally- 
hooed  in  the  observance  of  this 
memorable  event.  The  most  popu- 
lar topic  for  quite  a  time  dealt  with 
the  future  of  American  Jewry  and 
Judaism. 

I  should  like  to  comment  not  on 
our  destiny  but  on  the  lack  of  his- 
torical perspective  and  consequent 
immoderate  pessimism  or  opti- 
mism, displayed  by  not  a  few  of 
those  who  have  dealt  with  the 
theme.  It  is  of  intense  and  personal 
concern  to  each  of  us. 

You  have  heard  and  read  how 
the  Jews  of  Babylonia  eventuallv 
took  over  the  social  and  cultural 
ilife  of  the  Jews  of  Judea  when  the 
Second  Jewish  Commonwealth  was 
destroyed  by  Rome  in  the  year  70, 
jand  during  the  several  Jewish  re- 
volts which  followed  in  the  second 
icentury. 

You  are  quite  aware  that  the 
Babylonian  Jewish  way  of  life,  cov- 
ering the  entire  talmudic  and  ga- 
onic  period,  found  a  new  home  and 
expression  in  Spain,  so  that  in  less 
than  50  years  a  Golden  Era  of  Jew- 
ish activity  was  established  once 
|more. 

The  great  catastrophe  which 
struck  Spanish  Jewry  in  the  fif- 
teenth century,  in  the  form  of  the 
inquisition  and  the  Exile,  found 
P  growing  Jewish  community  in 
pastern  Europe  ready  to  take  up 
and  develop  further,  along  its 
pwn  lines,  the  Jewish  culture  of 
f>pain  and  Babylonia  and  ancient 
Judea  and  Israel. 

We  Are  the  Heirs 

In  turn,  the  largest  Jewish  com- 
munity in  the  world  today,  our 
>wn  American  Jewry,  and  the  most 
nergetic  and  learned  Jewish  com- 
nunity,  Israel,  are  now  looked  up- 
k  as  the  heirs  of  the  great  Jewish 
raditions  and  uvilization  which 
;he  Jews  of  Europe  had  produced 


during  the  past  several  centuries, 
for  us  to  develop  and  to  adapt  as 
we  see  fit,  to  serve  our  needs  and 
to  express  the  genius  of  our  gen- 
erations. 

The  matter  of  cultural  inherit- 
ance and  adaptation,  however,  is 
not  simple;  and  too  many  impor- 
tant, even  crucial  elements  tend  to 
be  overlooked  in  the  sweeping  gen- 
eralizations which  are  frequently 
made. 

For  one  thing,  Jewish  history  is 
not  confined  to  one  great  center  at 
a  time.  There  have  always  been 
several  contemporaneous  centers, 
some  greater  than  others,  but  all 
of  them  simultaneously  active  and 
mutually  beneficial.  The  Bible  it- 
self, the  unmatched  product  of  the 
the  Jews  when  they  lived  in  their 
own  land,  includes  the  writings  of 
two  great  prophets  who  were  active 
not  in  the  land  of  Israel  and  Judah, 
but  in  Babylonia,  namely,  Ezekiel 
and  the  author  of  the  second  part 
of  Isaiah. 

When  the  Second  Jewish  Com- 
monwealth was  at  its  height,  there 
flourished  in  Egypt,  chiefly  in  Alex- 
andria, a  monumental  Jewish  civ- 
ilization, one  which  produced  the 
Septuagint,  the  Old  Greek  transla- 
tion of  the  Bible,  and  the  theologi- 
cal and  philosophical  works  of 
Philo  of  Alexandria,  and  several  of 
the  books  which  came  to  constitute 
Jewish  Apocryphal  Literature. 
The  Jewish  community  of  Rome 
provided  the  environment  for  the 
priceless  historical  writings  of  Jo- 
sephus. 

When  Babylonian  Jewry  stood  in 
its  fullest  glory,  there  were  impor- 
tant Jewish  centers  of  learning  and 
activity  in  Palestine,  and  in  Egypt, 
and  in  northwest  Africa,  and  in 
southern  Europe.  During  the  Gold- 
en Era  in  Spain,  notable  Jewish 
communities  thrived  in  Egypt, 
France,  Germany,  Italy,  Bohemia, 
and  elsewhere. 


When  one  talks  of  Eastern  Eu- 
ropean Jewry,  one  cannot  even  for 
one  moment  overlook  the  very  sig- 
nificant Jewish  communities  in 
Germany,  France,  Holland,  and 
Palestine. 

A  Gross  Mistake 

Consequently,  it  is  a  gross  mis- 
take to  speak  nowadays  of  the 
United  States  and  Israel  without 
mentioning  in  the  same  breath 
Canada,  and  Latin  and  South 
America,  England  and  France,  and 
perhaps  in  the  not  very  distant  fu- 
ture, also  Poland,  Rumania,  and 
Russia. 

Argentina  alone  is  currently  pub- 
lishing as  many  Yiddish  books  as 


the  United  States,  and  our  numer- 
ous and  wealthy  American  Jewry 
has  not  equalled  the  very  much 
smaller  Jewish  community  of  Great 
Britain  in  putting  out  in  English 
dress  a  commentary  on  the  entire 
Bible  and  complete  English  trans- 
lations of  the  Mishnah,  the  Talmud, 
and  the  Midrash. 

Of  far  greater  importance,  how- 
ever, are  the  precise  circumstances 
under  which  one  Jewish  center 
breathed  in  the  life  which  another 
outstanding  Jewish  center  was  at 
that  time  giving  up.  Some  histor- 
ians have  turned  this  historical 
Jewish  transmission  into  something

The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


Parfi  Two 


Reflections  on  the 


American  Scene 


By  Abba  Eban 


This  is  the  second  installment,  the  first  having  appeared  in  the  Septem- 
ber issue  of  the  TIMES-OUTLOOK,  of  Mr.  Eban's  address  before  the  52nd 
Annual  Meeting  of  t  :e  American  Jewish  Committee,  as  he  was  leaving  his 
post  of  Ambassador  to  the  United  States  from  the  State  of  Israel.  The  Editor. 


ABB 4  EBAN 


If  Israel  can  communicate  to  oth- 
er nations  something  of  the  lessons 
other  democracy;  and  if,  as  a  result, 
awakening  Africa  and  Asia  make 
their  choice  for  freedom  and  not 
for  .despotism,  Israel  will  have  ren- 
dered a  service  to  the  free  world  far 
greater  than  all  the  aid  she  has 
received. 

We  thus  find  our  country  in  the 
position  of  being  at  once  the  recip- 
ient and  the  donor  of  aid  within 
the  concert  of  the  democratic  fam- 
ily of  nations.  There  is  no  real  con- 
tradiction in  this  double  capacity. 

I  have  spoken  of  growth  and  of 
democracy.  What  is  there  to  say  of 
the  intellectual  scene?  All  my  pred- 
ecessors in  the  daring  task  of  ana- 
lyzing America  have  acknowledged 
that  Americans  are  not  a  contem- 
plative people.  It  is  the  practical 
instinct  that  has  mattered  most 
here:  the  capacity  to  blaze  a  trail, 
build  a  railroad,  convert  villages  to 
cities,  fertilize  abandoned  lands, 
tame  the  adverse  forces  of  nature. 

There  was  little  time  in  all  these 
years  to  sit  back  and  look  upon  the 
scene  as  a  whole,  to  generalize  ex- 
perience into  laws  of  thought.  But 
those  who  agree  that  America  has 
shown  no  inclination  toward  phi- 
losophy in  theoretical  terms,  have 
acknowledged  her  consistent  and  al- 
most intuitive  tendency  to  follow  a 
logical  and  moral  system  of  con- 
duct, dictated  by  the  exigencies  of 
life  and  by  an  essentially  religious 
consciousness. 

America's  friends  hope  that 
amidst  the  bustle  and  turmoil  of 
your  nation's  life,  there  will  always 
be  cloisters  in  which  men  can  think 
not  only  of  action,  but  also  of  the 
larger  issues  of  human  purpose;  and 
that  out  of  America's  political  and 
and  economic  leadership  an  intel- 
lectual and  spiritual  fertility  will 
grow. 


I  have  said  that  Americans  are  a 
religious  people;  and  this  is  the 
fourth  of  my  impressions.  I  do  not 
refer  here  to  the  formal  background 
of  denominational  religion.  I  refer 
to  the  belief  that  all  human  action 
must  be  related  to  absolute  stand- 
ards of  conduct,  and  that  whatever 
a  man  performs  upon  earth  must  be 
acted  in  the  sight  of  eternity. 

The  contribution  of  the  Hebrew 
stream  of  thought  to  American  ci- 
vilization has  been  greatly  under- 
estimated. It  is  significant  that 
Thomas  Jefferson  and  Benjamin 
Franklin,  when  they  were  discuss- 
ing the  seal  of  the  American  Union 
shortly  to  be  established,  recom- 
mended that  it  should  portray  the 
Children  of  Israel  fleeing  across  the 
parted  waters  of  the  Red  Sea,  on 
their  way  to  liberty.  And  they  pro- 
posed that  the  slogan  and  title  of 
this  seal  should  contain  the  uncan- 
nily Hebraic  concept:  "Resistance 
to  tyrants  is  obedience  to  God." 

My  fifth  impression  relates  to 
America's  swift  rise  to  international 
responsibility.  Nothing  more  spec- 
tacular has  taken  place  in  the  life 
of  our  times  than  America's  eman- 
cipation from  a  tradition  of  detach- 
ment and  isolation,  and  her  emerg- 
ence to  the  assumption  of  leader- 
ship in  freedom's  embattled  cause. 

Across  the  39  states  of  this  Union 
which  I  have  journeyed,  endeavor- 
ing to  expound  some  of  the  ideas 
and  impulses  which  have  led  to 
Israel's  establishment,  I  have  found 
an  alert  and  lively  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  outside  world.  If  there 
are  any  bulwarks  of  isolationism 
left,  they  can  be  only  in  the  states 
which,  through  inadvertence,  I 
have  not  visited. 

I  find  an  American  people  which 
believes  that  its  partnership  with 
other  nations  in  a  world  of  freedom 
is  a  permanent  covenant  and  not 


the  accidental  consequence  of  the 
Second  World  War. 

There  are  many,  of  course,  who 
draw  attention  to  errors  in  policy  or 
diplomacy.  Precisely  because  the 
American  example  is  so  crucial, 
anything  that  seems  to  be  a  devia- 
tion from  prudence  or  wisdom 
evokes  a  reaction  of  almost  shud- 
dering fear.  But  none  in  the  family 
of  free  nations  believes  that  the 
cause  of  liberty  can  have  any  other 
leader,  or  that  the  ultimate  fortress 
of  the  free  world's  cause  can  be  es- 
tablished anywhere  than  here,  upon 
the  foundations  of  the  incompar- 
able strength  and  abundance  of  the 
American  Union. 

A  brief  time  has  elapsed  since  the 
age  when  the  United  States  had  no 
reason  to  care  about  the  world  be- 
yond the  oceans,  when  avoidance  of 
foreign  entanglements  appeared  to 
be  the  first  law  of  prudence.  Today 
America  exercises  an  intricate  duty 
of  leadership  in  the  family  of  the 
free  world.  The  progress  toward 
mature  understanding  of  interna- 
tional issues  and  responsibilities 
has  been  miraculously  swift. 

There  were  others  before  you, 
notably  Britain  and  France  in  the 
age  of  European  ascendancy  and  co- 
lonial expansion,  who  exercised 
leadership  in  inter-nation  coalitions 
But  history  allowed  them  to  evolve 
over  centuries  of  time  toward  as- 
sumption of  that  responsibility. 
Through  these  centuries  of  trial 
and  error,  their  perceptions  were 
sharpened  and  their  diplomatic  fac- 
ulties were  developed. 

In  the  United  States  the  transition 
from  a  virtual  backwater,  in  terms 
of  international  responsibility, 
to  the  very  summit  of  leadership 
was  accomplished  almost  overnight. 

Let  me  not  so  betray  the  spirit 
of  other  nations  as  to  indicate  that 
I  believe  America  has  nothing  to 


learn  in  the  field  of  political  or 
diplomatic  leadership.  But  an  his- 
toric appraisal  must  deal  with  pro- 
cesses, not  with  intermediate  con- 
sequences. The  American  people 
is  now  increasingly  aware  that  it 
must  live  within  a  world  society 
of  which  it  is  an  integral  part, 
not  within  the  walls  of  a  sheltered 
continent. 

Nothing  has  taught  this  more 
acutely  than  the  recent  scientific 
revolution.  The  conquest  of  space 
and  the  perfection  of  missiles  have 
destroyed  the  old  distinction  be- 
tween "safe"  and  "vulnerable"  na- 
tions, between  those  in  the  first 
line  of  fire  and  those  who,  in 
benevolence  and  condescension, 
could  previously  decide  whether  or 
not  to  rescue  more  vulnerable  na- 
tions from  peril. 

Today,  New  York,  San  Francisco 
and  Philadelphia  are  just  as  safe 
or  just  as  vulnerable  as  Rotterdam, 
London,  Coventry  and  Paris— and, 
yes,  Haifa  or  Tel  Aviv.  Every  na- 
tion is  joined  to  every  other  nation 
in  a  covenant  of  mutual  vulner- 
ability. 

To  take  part  in  the  defense  of 
a  world  order  and  of  a  family  of 
free  nations  is  therefore  not  an  act 
of  condescension,  but  the  dictate 
of  enlightened  self-interest. 

Amongst  all  the  gifts  which 
America  can  give  the  world,  there 
are  three  from  young  nations,  and 
Israel  in  particular,  can  derive 
inspiration. 

The  first  is  your  innate  genius 
for  freedom  under  law,  the  convic- 
tion that  democracy  is  the  highest 
expression  of  a  dignified  social 
order. 

The  second  is  your  talent  for 
harmonizing   diversities;  nowhere 
until  the  establishment  of  Israel 
has  there  been  a  commensurate

M.  B.  KAHN 


Man  of  the  Month 

At  B.  Kahn 

Columbia,  S.  C. 


Fifty-one  years  ago,  a  young  car- 
penter-cabinet maker  in  Kowel, 
Russia,  packed  his  best  clothes,  a 
few  pet  tools,  and  journeyed  across 
Europe,  across  the  Atlantic  Ocean, 
and  halfway  across  the  United 
States  to  earn  his  living  in  "the 
land  where  streets  are  paved  with 
gold." 

Today,  at  73,  M.  B.  Kahn  of 
Columbia,  S.  C,  heads  one  of  the 
largest  construction  companies  in 
the  South.  He  long  ago  learned 
that  the  "gold  paving"  was  mere 
exaggeration,  but  through  bad 
times  and  good  over  the  past  half- 
century  he  has  done  whatever  he 
could  to  make  this  a  better  country 
in  which  to  live— for  Jew  and  non- 
Jew  alike. 

M.  B.  Kahn  was  born  in  Kowel 
in  1886,  the  son  of  a  grain  mer- 
chant. While  still  attending  the 
Russian  equivalent  of  our  high 
school,  he  found  that  he  had  a 
talent  for  tools  and  a  love  for 


creating  furniture  and  houses  from 
raw  materials.  Rejecting  his  father's 
business,  he  became  a  carpenter 
and  cabinet-maker. 

By  1908,  reports  from  friends 
and  acquaintances  in  the  "New 
World"  had  convinced  Mr.  Kahn 
that  his  future  lay  in  America.  He 
arrived  in  New  York  that  year 
—  a  greenhorn  —  and  soon  struck 
out  for  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

In  Cleveland,  young  Kahn  con- 
tinued to  practice  his  carpenter's 
trade  for  eight  years,  meanwhile 
studying  construction  techniques  in 
his  spare  time.  By  1916,  he  had 
acquired  sufficient  confidence  and 
capital  to  launch  himself  into  the 
construction  field— building  houses 
and  apartment  buildings. 

When  the  Florida  boom  began, 
it  looked  to  Mr.  Kahn  as  if  the 
real  estate  developers  in  the  Sun- 
shine State  were  indeed  preparing 
to  pave  some  streets  in  gold  for 


construction  company  owners.  He 
packed  again  and  migrated  South. 

In  1929,  the  bubble  burst.  Mr. 
Kahn  found  himself  without  cus- 
tomers for  whom  he  could  build 
houses  or  stores,  and  soon  his  com- 
pany was  "on  the  rocks"  along  with 
the  hopes  of  the  Florida  developers. 

That  year  he  moved  to  Colum- 
bia, S.  C,  to  go  into  partnership 
with  W.  H.  Sellars  in  the  con- 
struction field.  Within  five  years, 
he  had  again  organized  his  own 
firm  —  the  M.  B.  Kahn  Construc- 
tion Company  of  Columbia.  Today, 
as  young  in  spirit  as  he  was  in 
1934,  he  is  still  active  head  of 
the  firm,  assisted  by  his  three  sons 
—  Irwin,  Bernard  and  Saul.  He 
also  has  one  daughter,  Mrs.  Sabina 
Goldstein,  also  of  Columbia. 

In  1929,  when  he  arrived  in 
Columbia,  there  was  only  a  small 
Jewish  community  in  the  city.  The 
synagogue  was  an  old  wooden 
building  in  a  rapidly-degenerating 
section  of  town.  A  drive  was  soon 
started  to  build  a  new  "shul"  and 
M.  B.  Kahn  soon  found  himself 
involved  not  only  in  helping  to 
raise  funds  for  the  project,  but  in 
constructing  the  building.  He  was 
one  of  the  largest  contributors  in 
the  fund  drive  and  his  company 
built  the  synagogue  at  actual  cost. 

Over  the  years,  he  has  taken  a 
great  deal  of  interest  in  synagogue 
affairs  and  served  as  president  of 
the  Beth  Shalom  congregation  from 
1949  to  1954.  When  "M.  B."  step- 
ped down  and  relinquished  the 
gavel,  his  oldest  son,  Irwin,  was 
elected  to  fill  his  place. 

Mr.  Kahn  has  also  served  as  chair- 
man of  th  United  Jewish  Appeal 
fund  drives  in  Columbia  for  a  least 
ten  years,  off-and-on,  since  its  in- 
ception. He  is  also  an  active  mem- 
ber of  B'nai  B'rith  on  a  local  and 
state  level  and  of  the  Zionist  Or- 
ganization of  America. 

His  interest  in  Israel  as  a  home- 
land for  the  Jews  was  recognized 
by  the  Israeli  government  in  1955 
when  he  was  invited  to  visited  that 
country  as  one  of  a  hundred  pro- 
minent Jewish  businessmen  of  the 
United  States.  As  an  official  guest 
of  Israel,  he  conferred  with  govern- 
ment officials  on  policy,  met  David 
Ben  Gurion,  and  toured  the  coun- 
try. 

He  was  initiator  and  guiding 
spirit  behind  the  creation  of  the 
Columbia  Jewish  Community 
Center.  Alhough  Columbia  Jews 
had  talked  for  years  about  how

The  Jewish  Community  Center — 5400  Block  Monument  Avenue,  Richmond,  Va. 


Zhe  ffewisk  Community  Renter 


Richmond,  Virginia 


By  Albert  Goldstein 


The  modern  structure,  which  has  been  hailed  by  critics  as 
a  monument  of  simplicity  and  functionalism,  now  consists  of  a 
regulation  size  AAU  swimming  pool,  a  health  center,  a  youth 
lounge,  an  arts  and  crafts  room,  a  gymnasium,  a  lobby,  and  a 
Patio.  A  second  unit,  consisting  of  offices  will  be  started  shortly. 
An  auditorium  and  a  nursery  school  wing  are  to  be  added  later. 

The  Richmond  Jewish  Community  Center  is  aptly  named 
for  it  was  organized  for  and  by  the  entire  Jewish  community. 
Center  membership  is  a  cross  section  of  the  community,  and  the 
membership  is  open  to  all  regardless  of  age,  sex,  economic  status, 
social  affiliation,  religious  belief,  political  views  or  country  of 
origin.  All  members  are  expected  to  pay  dues,  but  inability  to 
pay  bars  no  one  from  participation. 

The  Jewish  citizenry  of  Richmond  faces  the  future  of  its 
new  Center  with  eagerness  and  participation.  It  is  with  a  feeling 
of  pride  that  we  review  the  faint  beginning  to  the  present  size; 
and  it  is  with  a  certain  humbleness  that  we  realize  the  Center  has 
become  a  community  agency  commanding  respect  and  maintaining 
a  high  status  while  serving  the  people  of  Richmond.  A  review  of 
the  Center's  long  history  brings  forth  a  deep  respect  past  and 
present,  to  the  many  people  who  have  served  on  Boards  and  com- 
mittees, and  to  the  many,  many  wonderful  volunteers  who  have 
served  so  faithfully  over  the  years. 


The  Jewish  Center  movement  has  lately  been  attracting  large 
numbers  of  people  seeking  satisfaction  for  social,  cultural,  educa- 
tional and  civic  needs  and  experiences.  They  are  finding  in  the 
Center  an  avenue  for  Jewish  identification,  a  fruitful  source  of 
Jewish  values  and  traditions,  and  a  practical  opportunity  for  exper- 
ience in  Jewish  communal  life.  These  things  help  to  strengthen 
the  capacity  of  the  Jew  to  assume  a  vital  role  as  a  citizen  in  the 
total  American  community. 

In  Richmond,  the  Center  movement  had  its  origin  after  World 
War  1;  it  gained  impetus  during  the  years  until,  in  June  of  this 
year,  the  first  unit  of  a  modern  three-quarter  of  a  million  dollar 
structure  was  opened  to  the  public. 

From  a  humble  beginning  in  the  old  Neighborhood  House 
in  one  of  the  oldest  sections  of  Richmond,  the  movement  spread, 
in  1941,  to  the  establishment  of  a  Center  building  further  west 
to  a  centrally  located  position.  In  the  early  formative  years  with 
little  professional  help  and  dues  totalling  $3,000  from  a  member- 
ship of  about  300  individuals,  the  program  was  limited  and  sketchy. 
Today,  a  Board  of  Directors,  (45  people)  sponsors  program  ac- 
tivities ranging  from  nursery  school  children  to  the  elderly  citizen 
— all  professionally  directed. 

With  the  opening  of  the  new  building  in  the  5400  block  of 
Monument  Avenue,  the  membership  has  increased  rapidly  and 
is  close  to  the  800  family  mark.

Murder  In  A  Chocolate  Box 

By  E.  Davidson 


The  guardian  of  the  Rathis- 
bone  Monastery  in  Jerusalem  re- 
ceived a  large  box  of  chocolates 
as  a  New  Year  present.  He  open- 
ed the  box  and  was  blown  to 
pieces.  When  the  police  discover- 
ed his  body,  or  what  was  left  of 
it.  they  found  chocolates  and 
sweets  stuck  to  it;  while  the  walls 
and  the  ceiling  of  his  room  were 
also  covered  with  sweets.  The  po- 
lice had  little  difficulty  in  recon- 
structing the  drama:  the  box  of 
chocolates  had  contained  a  Mills 
bomb  which  went  off  when  the 
b"d  was  removed.  Why  anyone 
should  have  thought  uo  this  origi- 
nal and  hideous  method  of  mur- 
der was  something  of  a  pu/zle. 
1  he  dead  man  was  a  harmless 
old  gentleman,  with  out  an  enemv 
in  the  world. 

A  few  days  later,  a  typewritten 
letter  arrived  at  the  Monastery, 
addressed  to  the  son  of  the  mur- 
dered man:  "You  are  resposible 
for  vour  father's  death.  I  hope  it 
will  haunt  you  to  the  end  of  your 
life."  Rut  the  son  had  left  Israel 
a  year  before  and  was  now  in 
Turkey,  happily  married.  Some 
one  in  Police  Headquarters  re- 
membered that  a  year  before  a 
bomb  had  been  thrown  at  some 
passers-bv  not  fifty  yards  from  the 
entrance  to  the  monastery.  Three 
people  had  been  slightlv  in  hired, 
but  the  person  who  had  thrown 
the  bomb  had  never  been  discover- 
ed. The  motive  for  the  crime  was 
a  mysterv  and  the  police  had  clos- 
ed the  file,  puzzled  and  bewilder- 
ed. Jerusalem  forgot  about  it. 

The  typewritten  letter  suggest- 
ed that  the  father  had  been  killed 
for  the  "sins"  of  his  son,  and  this 
Jed  the  police  to  asking  questions 
about  the  son.  For  it  was  pre- 
sumed, and  rightly,  that  the  earli- 
er bomb-throwing  was  intended 
for  the  son.  This  son  had  been 
engaged  to  a  young  Persian  girl 
with  the  musical  name  of  Bara- 
/ani:  Esther  Barazanii.  He  had 
left  her  and  gone  off  to  Turkey, 
where  he  had  fallen  in  love  with 
another  girl. 

Where  was  Esther  Barazani? 
She  was  serving  im  the  army.  At 
the  moment  she  was  in  Haifa. 
The  police  found  her  there  in  an 
army  camp  and,  more  to  the  point, 
(hey  came  upon  a  typewriter  in 


the  office  where  she  worked.  Cue 
test  showed  that  this  was  the  very 
one  which  had  typed  the  ven- 
geance note.  Meanwhile  it  was 
discovered  that  the  box  of  choco- 
lates and  sweets  had  been  bought 
at  a  well-known  shop  ip  Jaffa  Rd. 
in  the  heart  of  New  Jerusalem. 
The  people  who  had  served  the 
girl  remembered  her  well  for 
she  and  a  young  man  who  had  ac- 
companied her  had  asked  for  a 
specially  deep  box  in  which  to 
pack  the  sweets  and  had  caused 
a  lot  of  bother  unti,l  they  found 
the  box  that  suited  them. 

Esther  was  arrested.  She  put  on 
an  innocent  lace  and  wondered 
what  the  police  could  be  wanting 
her  for.  The  evidence  piled  up 
against  her.  The  young  man. 
Saleh.  who  had  accompanied  her 
to  the  chocolate  shop  was  unearth- 
ed and  before  very  long  both  were 
telling  the  full  story  to  the  in- 
vestigators. 

Esther  had  a  friend  in  the  army 
and  he  had  supplied  her  with  her 
first  bomb.  That  was  thrown  at 
the  lover  who  had  given  her  up  - 
but  it  had  been  thrown  at  the 
wrong  person!  Now  her  lover  was 
beyond  her  reach  but  his  father 
was  near  at  hand.  So  she  secured 
a  second  hand  grenade  from  the 
same  friend.  She  did  not  know 
how  to  plate  it  in  a  box  so  that  it 
should  explode  on  being  opened 
—but  her  friend  Saleh  did.  Tt  was 
he  who  had  gone  with  her  to  the 
>-fiocV!ate  shop,  had  chosen  a 
suitable  box,  had  accompanied 
her  to  a  hotel  in  a  neighboring 
street  and  on  the  stairway  had 
tied  uo  the  little  parcel  with  a 
handful  of  death  inside.  He  had 
i hen  left  Esther.  She  had  fjone 
back  to  the  shop  and  asked  the 
boy  to  take  the  gift  to  the  Mona- 
stery. Fond  of  sweets  and  suspect- 
ing nothing,  The  guardian  had 
opened  the  box  and  that  was  the 
end  of  him. 

Esther  and  Saleh  were  brought 
before  the  District  Court  in  Jeru- 
salem and  charged  with  premedi 
tated  murder.  Hers  was  no  face  to 
launch  a  thousand  ships.  She  is 
sickly,  pale  face.  How  she  per- 
suaded two  respectable  young 
men  to  help  her  commit  a  mur- 
der, is  not  very  clear.  The  case 
against  the  two  of  them  was  crys-

the  nature  of  their  unique  organ- 
ization. The  meeting  will  be  held 
from  10:30  a.m.  to  3:00  p.m.  at 
Curies  Neck  Dairy  and  members 
will  buy  their  own  lunches. 

On  October  28th,  lunch  will 
be  served  and  cooked  by  the  ladies

American  Jewry  On  The  Threshold 

(Continued  From  Pabc  5) 


of  a  mysteroius  phenomenon,  some- 
thing inevitable,  which  will  always 
continue  to  happen  whenever  any 
major  Jewish  center  is  about  to  die 
out. 

Yet  the  facts,  properly  integrat- 
ed and  analyzed,  are  clear  enough. 

When  the  general  social  condi- 
tions in  a  country  begin  to  deteri- 
orate, so  as  to  result  in  increasingly 
widespread  anti-Jewish  feeling  and 
action,  the  Jews  are  compelled  in 
approximately  corresponding  pro- 
portion to  leave  that  country.  They 
naturally  move  to  the  region  or 
country  which  is  at  once  sufficient- 
ly near  and  friendly.  The  fact  that 
the  new  country  is  hospitable  is 
ample  indication  that  its  social  or- 
der and  economic  system  are  in 
good  enough  shape,  that  those  in 
power  recognize  that  there  was 
room  in  their  midst  for  increased 
commerce  and  prosperity.  Up  to 
our  own  days  this  was  always  the 
case. 

Babylonia  was  congenial  terri- 
tory for  the  Jews  after  the  destruc- 
tion both  of  the  First  and  Second 
Temples.  Moslem  Spain  accepted 
the  Jews,  and  gained  very  much 
prosperity   from    their  activities. 


Poland  and  Lithuania  were  rela- 
tively good  hosts  to  the  Jews,  when 
Christian  Spain  and  other  parts  of 
Western  Europe  drove  them  out. 
The  Jews  of  Germany  played  an 
important  role  in  the  tremendous 
growth  of  the  kingdom  of  Poland 
in  the  fourteenth  century  under 
Casimir  the  Great. 

Why  Millions  Died 

This  situation  no  longer  obtains. 
A  primary  reason  for  the  destruc- 
tion of  six  million  Jews  in  Europe 
is  that  no  country  was  willing  to 
open  its  doors  to  them;  the  Jews  of 
Europe  simply  had  nowhere  to  go. 
The  interrelationship  of  the  world 
is  no  longer  what  it  was  before  the 
depression  of  1929  and  the  subse- 
quent World  War  II,  a  collection 
of  relatively  independent  and  indi- 
vidual countries,  so  that  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  Jews  could  enter 
western  Europe  and  Latin  and 
South  American  countries  and  that 
millions  of  Jews  could  immigrate 
into  the  United  States.

Africa,  Argentina  and  the  like  no 
longer  make  it  feasible  and  useful 
for  those  in  power  to  permit  wide- 
spread immigration. 

Consequently,  whereas  Baby- 
lonia was  able  to  draw  on  Palestin- 
ian Jews  when  conditions  in  Pales- 
tine began  to  deteriorate,  where 
Spain  and  Eastern  Europe  could 
receive  a  continuous  flow  of  Jewish 
families  from  the  considerable  res- 
ervoirs of  the  countries  which  were 
failing,  we  American  Jews  have 
been  cut  off  suddenly  and  com- 
pletely from  our  forefathers,  from 
our  immediate  sources  of  cultural 
nourishment,  from  the  Yeshivot 
and  Gymnasiums  of  Russia,  Pol- 
and, Lithuania,  Rumania,  Austria, 
Germany  and  Hungary. 

Cultural  Orphans 
For  us,  this  is  an  unparalleled 
catastrophe.  At  this  moment,  when 
we  should  be  receiving  the  quality 
and  quantity  of  the  millions  of 
Jews  who  lived  in  all  parts  of  Eu- 
rope and  Russia,  when  we  should 
be  striving  to  build  our  own  Amer- 
ican Jewish  culture  with  the  aid  of 
the  best  that  our  European  Jewish 
brothers  created  during  the  past 
several  hundred  years,  at  this  time 
we  find  ourselves  to  a  critical  ex- 
tent cultural  orphans,  bereft,  by 
the  uncouth  and  uncivilized,  of  our 
stimulating  and  sympathetic  broth- 
ers and  sisters  on  the  other  side  of 
the  ocean. 

A  Too  Hasty  Look 
it  is  not  generally  recognized  that 
in  the  earlier  epochal  changes,  the 
new  Jewish  centers  did  not  mature 
and  replace  the  old,  dying  centers, 
in  a  matter  of  a  few  years,  or  even 
decades.

The  generalizing  character  of 
writing  and  teaching  history  has 
given  most  people  the  impression 
that  virtually  at  the  very  moment 
that  fudea  was  passing  away,  Jew- 
ish Babylonia  became  the  grown- 
up father  of  the  household;  that  no 
sooner  did  Spanish  Jewry  breathe 
its  last,  than  did  Poland  and  Lith- 
uania replace  it  in  full  glory  and 
authority. 

This  is  so  far  from  being  true 
that  it  can  harm  us  if  we  fail  to  see 
the  historical  development  in  its 
proper  light. 

Not  aware  that  the  outstanding 
Jewish  centers  of  the  past  were  not 
the  only  great  centers  of  Jewish 
activity  at  the  time,  and  that  they 
did  not  come  into  being  overnight, 
as  it  were,  writers  and  lecturers 
have  taken  a  hasty  look  about 
them,  have  perceived  the  relatively 
low  level  of  Jewish  cultural  activ- 
ity in  this  country,  and  proceeded 
to  foresee  a  declining  American 
Jewry,  a  Jewry  of  some  five  million 
largely  unaware  of  its  extended  his- 
tory and  traditions,  blissful  in  its 
ignorance  of  Jewish  literature,  de- 
parting at  an  increasingly  rapid 
pace  farther  away  from  Jewish  in- 
terests and  living. 

The  lecturers  condemn  the  Jews 
of  America  for  being  uninterested 
in  Judaism,  they  accuse  them  of  as- 
similation and  frighten  them  with 
the  prospect  of  cultural  extinction. 

Underlying  this  atttude  is  not 
alone  an  incorrect  understanding 
and  application  of  our  past  history, 
but  also  a  marked  lack  of  respect 
for  and  appreciation  of  the  actual 
and  potential  ability  and  learning 
of  the  Jews  of  America. 

There  is  altogether  too  wide- 
spread an  opinion  that  right  now, 
and  for  all  time  to  come,  the  Amer- 
ican   Jewish    community  simply

The  beautiful  gate  which  forms 
the  front  of  a  certain  synagogue's 
Ark  is  a  complicated  metal  net- 
work and  although  one  can  trace 
out  each  bronze  strand  from  top  to 
bottom,  each  part  of  the  design  is 
connected  to  every  other  part. 

This  isn't  any  accident  on  the 
part  of  the  artist.  There  is  an  im- 
portant symbolic  message  worked 
into  the  gate,  an  idea  which  goes 
back  into  Jewish  tradition  and 
which  at  the  same  time  conveys  an 
important  ideal  for  us  today— the 
idea  of  community,  of  countless  in- 
dividuals, each  with  his  own  path 
through  life,  each  touching  and  af- 
fecting the  paths  of  others.  It  is  a 
fundamental  Jewish  idea  for  Jews 
have  always  been  deeply  concerned 
with  the  individual— with  his  intel- 
lectual and  emotional  growth  and 
with  his  spiritual  well-being— and 
we  have  never  hesitated  to  mobil- 
ize the  resources  of  the  community 
to  provide  this  growth  and  well- 
being.  We  admonish  man  not  to 
separate  himself  from  the  commu- 
nity; likewise  we  never  permit  the 
community  to  forget  one  individ- 
ual. 

So,  on  this  occasion  of  the  New 
Year,  when  Jewry  examines  the 
events  of  the  past  twelve  months 
and  looks  forward  to  the  promise 
of  a  new  dcade,  5720,  I  express  my 
good  wishes,  and  those  of  my  fel- 
low officers  and  board  members  of 
the  National  Jewish  Welfare  Board 
with  this  hope:  that  the  coming 
year  may  bring  you  continued  pro- 
gress toward  the  fulfillment  of  your 
communal  aspirations  for  a  good 
life  for  all;  may  it  also  bring  us 
the  continued  opportunity  to  work 
with  you  toward  your  goal  and  to 
share  in  your  achievements. 

New  times  bring  new  problems— 
but  are  they  really  new?  Our  an- 
cients were  concerned  with  the  ne- 
cessity of  providing  food  and  shel- 
ter, spiritual  comfort  and  protec- 
tion from  enemies.  Each  man  did 
what  he  could  for  his  family,  but 


when  the  burden  grew  too  great, 
or  too  complicated,  he  turned  to 
the  community  for  aid.  Thankful- 
ly, we  today  find  food,  clothing, 
and  shelter  comparatively  easy  to 
provide,  although  we  remember  a 
few  decades  back  when  this  was 
not  so  ...  we  are  constantly  aware, 
also,  that  others  less  fortunate  to- 
day need  our  help  for  these  neces- 
sities. The  translation  of  slings  and 
spears  into  guided  missiles  with 
nuclear  warheads  has  complicated 
the  matter  of  protection;  it  also 
marks  an  era  when  spiritual  com- 
fort must  be  buttressed  by  warm 
understanding,  humanitarian  guid- 
ance, and  expert  assistance  for  peo- 
ple who  find  the  pressure  of  being 
"modern"  just  a  little  too  much. 

Whether  we  —  your  community 
and  JWB  —  help  a  teen-age  boy  or 
girl  find  outlets  for  his  normally 
rebellious  spirit,  or  whether  we 
bring  the  comfort  of  Jewish  tradi- 
tion and  observance  to  a  young  GI 
on  guard  with  U.  S.  troops  in  some 
obscure  corner  of  the  world,  or 
whether  ;i  grandmother  finds 
through  us  a  way  to  spend  a  few 
happy  hours  each  week  with  new 
friends  and  old  pastimes,  we  con- 
tinue in  our  tradition  of  concern 
for  the  individual  —  a  tradition 
which  was  born  anew  when  the 
American  Jewish  community  cre- 
ated the  National  Jewish  Welfare 
Board. 

As  we  express  our  ancient  holy 
day  sentiment,  "May  you  be  in- 
scribed for  a  good  year!"  let  us 
look  back  on  our  record  of  service 
for  the  last  year,  appraise  what  we 
were  able  to  do  in  terms  of  what 
we  wanted  to  do,  and  in  terms  of 
what  had  to  be  done,  and  go  for- 
ward with  a  resolve  to  make  the 
coming  year  one  which  sees  us  just 
a  step  further  ahead  toward  our 
mutual  goals.

Visiting  Old  Friends 

By  Anil  a  Engle 


ANITA  ENGLE 

My  11 -year-old  David  has  just 
come  back  from  a  visit  to  Tivon 
where  we  lived  for  five  years.  We 
are  all  feeling  rather  saddened, 
for  he  brought  back  a  bunch  of 
grapes  from  the  vineyard  which 
my  husband  had  planted,  and  the 
news  that  Zarizaleh  \s  grave  is 
covered  with  thistles. 

I  suppose  everyone  has  one 
house,  and  one  dog  which  will 
always  remain  imbedded  in  their 
heart.  The  house  in  our  lives  is 
ihis  little  cottage  in  the  mountains 
of  Lower  Galilee  which  we  had 
to  giive  up  when  we  moved  to 
Terusalem  a  year  ago.  The  dog  is 
Zarizaleh,  who  lies  buried  under 
the  oaks  in  the  back  garden  there.

We  had  Zarizaleh  for  two  years. 
He  was  a  well-mixed  type  of 
poodle,  with  brown  eyes  that 
sparkled  with  intelligence.  He  was 
rather  like  my  two  boys,  terribly 
bouncy  and  irrepressible,  and  con- 
genitally  averse  to  being  clean. 
If  he  saw  me  getting  the  tub  ready 
in  the  back  yard,  he'd  tear  off  in- 
to the  wadi  and  stay  there.  When 
I  did  manage  to  trick  him  into 
getting  washed,  as  soon  as  he  was 
out  of  my  hands,  he'd  run  into  the 
road  and  roll  in  the  dust  until 
his  thick  beige  hair  was  matted 
and  gray. 

The  shaggy  little  dcg  couldn't 
bear  to  let  me  out  of  the  yard 
without  following  me.  Yet  every 
time  he  came  anywhere  with  me. 
I  returned  a  nervous  wreck.  He 
fell  upon  dogs  three  times  his 
size.  He  threw  himself  headlong 
after  every  cat  he  saw.  He  raced 
after  motorcycles  and  lorries  like 
a  maniac. 

Perhaps  because  I  hate  so  much 
to  be  restricted  myself,  I  couldn't 
bring  myself  to  put  a  leash  on 
Zarizaleh.  I  finally  made  someone 
keep  him  in  the  house  whenever 
I  v  ent  shopping.  Zarizaleh  always 
knew  what  was  going  on  and 
would  cry  and  make  a  terrible 
fuss,  but  I  just  hardened  my 
heart. 

Then,  one  Friday  morning.  I 
decided  to  take  him  with  me.  It 
was  a  glorious  glittering  morning, 
after  a  rain.  Zarizaleh  was  beside 
himself  with  joy  and  gratitude 
when  he  saw  that  I  was  going  to 
let  him  come.  We  set  off  up  the 
hill,  our  first  stop  the  dairy  on 
the  corner  of  the  main  street.  As 
I  stood  for  a  moment  before  en- 
tering, a  cat  emerged  from  the 
bushes.  In  a  flash  Zarizaleh  was 
chasing  her  across  the  street.  A 
bus  approached.  Before  I  knew 
what  had  happened,  the  bus  was 
gone,  and  Zarizaleh  was  lying 
motionless,  looking  like  a  toy  dog 
that  had  been  dropped  on  the 
street. 

Fate  had  been  kind  to  the  little 
dog— and  to  me  too.  He  had  died 
instantly,  without  any  disfigure- 
ment, or  moment's  pain.  I  placed 
him  in  a  box  that  the  shopkeeper 
gave  me,  and  left  it  in  a  sheltered 
place  off  the  road.  When  the  boys 
returned  home  from  school  we 
came  with  the  base  of  my  shop-

versity.  This  school,  Israel's  leading  center  lor  the  training  of 
teachers,  has  been  sponsored  by  the  NCJW  since  1948.  It  was 
given  the  name  of  an  American  educational  philosopher— the 
John  Dewey  School  of  Education— in  recognition  of  a  U.  S. 
Government  grant  and  of  the  Council's  unwavering  support. 

On  the  domestic  scene,  last  year  saw  the  Council  honoring 
the  contrbutions  which  immigrants  have  made  to  the  United 
States,  by  naming  a  New  American  of  the  Year.  Possibly  the 
best  known  of  the  Council's  historic  programs  are  its  service 
to  the  foreign  born,  which  were  established  at  the  turn  of  the 
century  and  played  a  major  role  in  developing  the  Jewish 
community's  postwar  network  of  services. 

Of  lasting  importance  both  to  the  American  Jewish  and 
general  communities  is  the  nationwide  "community  leadership 
training  program"  which  the  Council  launched  last  year.  Mem- 
bers of  the  240  Council  Sections  have  been  surveying  the  huge 
population  and  other  changes  in  their  communities,  and  bring- 
ing together  civic  and  agency  leaders  to  discuss  how  to  meet 
the  human  needs  these  changes  are  creating.  The  effort  has 
been  meeting  enthusiastic  cooperation  everywhere,  and  is  al- 
ready providing  a  blueprint  for  the  future. 

Finally,  a  milestone  was  reached  in  the  past  year  when, 
in  recognition  of  the  Council's  services  to  the  well-being  of 
children,  from  its  early  struggles  against  child  labor  to  its 
hundreds  of  welfare  projects  today,  its  president,  Mrs.  Moise 
S.  Cahn  of  New  Orleans,  was  invited  by  President  Eisenhower 
to  serve  on  his  committee  for  the  White  House  Conference 
on  Children  and  Youth. 

The  theme  of  the  women's  65th  anniversary  convention, 
"Knowledge  our  strength,  service  our  tradition,"  expressed  the 
organization's  close  identification  with  the  familiar  Jewish  em- 
phasis on  tzdakah  and  education.  We  wish  the  Council  mem- 
bers strength  and  wisdom  as  they  prepare  for  the  two  years 
ahead. 


ping  cart  to  get  the  box.  With 
Jonathan  and  David  on  either 
side  of  me,  we  walked  slowly  and 
silenly  down  the  hill,  bringing 
Zarizaleh  home  for  burial. 

As  we  approached  the  house  of 
a  neighbor,  I  saw  their  white  dog 
standing  on  the  verandah  watch- 
ing the  road.  A  rather  fine,  well- 
cared  for  dog,  he  had  always  been 
Zarizaleh's  companion.  Just  be 
fore  we  came  to  their  gate,  the  dog 
ran  down  the  steps  as  if  he  had 
been  waiting  for  us.  I  expected 
firm  to  sniff  at  the  cart,  as  he 
usually  did,  when  1  passed  on  my 
way  from  shopping.  Zarizaleh  had 
been  dead  for  three  hours.  In  that 
heat  every  dog  in  the  neighbour- 
hood must  have  had  wind  of  it. 

But  Didi  ignored  the  cart.  Plac- 
ing himself  just  ahead  of  us,  he 
walked  slowly  and  wvjth  great 
dignity  up  the  road.  It  was  like 
someone  leading  a  funeral  pro- 
cession. I  watched  him  fascinated. 
"Is  he  going  to  turn  in  at  our 
house?"  I  wondered.  He  did.  With 
the  same  slow,  deliberate  pace  he 
turned  in  at  our  gate  and  preced- 
ed us  down  the  steps  to  the  lawn 


where  he  and  Zarizaleh  used  to 
have  such  fun  rolling  over  and 
over  each  other.  Then,  as  my 
husband  came  to  meet  us,  he 
broke  off  and  returned  home. 

For  days  I  puzzled  over  this, 
for  I  felt  that  something  had  hap- 
pened here  that  was  important 
for  me  to  understand.  Why  did 
Didi  ignore  the  cart  which  con- 
tained Zarizaleh's  dead  body?  Was 
it  possible  that  dogs  understood

The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


Should  The  Lohengrin  Wedding  March 
Be  Played  Al  Jewish  Weddings! 

By  Harry  Simonhof  f 

Mr.  Simonhoff  momentarily  leaves  his  American  Notables  to  present  his 
views  on  a  controversial  question.  The  Editor. 

Recently  I  attended  a  syna- 
gogue wedding.  As  the  procession 
started  down  the  aisle  the  organ 
pealed  the  bridal  chorus  from 
Lohengrin.  Richard  Wagner's 
music,  struck  me  in  the  face.  I  left 
outraged  as  if  someone  insulted  me. 
The  revulsions  experienced  on  see- 
ing Dachau  and  Bergen  Belsen 
came  back.  With  Wagner's  music. 
I  imagined  the  screams,  the  moans, 
the  dying  gasps  at  the  crematories. 

Sitting  next  to  a  bright  young 
fellow  I  remarked:  "Do  they  have 
to  play  Wagner's  music  at  a  Jew- 
ish wedding-and  in  a  Temple? 
The  young  man  looked  at  me  con- 
descendingly and  said:  "Why  not? 
You  want  music  to  be  chauvinis- 
tic?" I  answered:  "But  that  is  ex- 
actly what  Richard  Wagner's 
music  is.  Did  you  ever  read  his 
pamphlet  Judaism  in  Music?" 
Evidently  he  did  not  like  my  tone. 
"I  am  not  interested  in  Jewish 
propaganda."  It  was  now  my  turn 
to  be  withering.  "I  suppose  you 
Mould  also  class  Mein  Kamf  as 
Jewish  propaganda."  Obviously  I 
was  wasting  my  time.  Besides,  the 
ceremony  ended  with  Mendel- 
sohn's Wedding;  March.  I  did  take 
a  final  fling.  "You  fellows  seem  to

know  everything  except  about 
matters  Jewish." 

The  intellectual  snob's  approval 
of  Wagner's  music  at  a  Jewish 
wedding  is  by  no  means  exception- 
al. It  is  shared  by  artists  and  rab- 
bis, by  refugees  and  professors. 
How  many  Jews  ever  heard  of 
Wagner's  pernicious  essay?  Or 
know  about  his  vicious  anti-Semi- 
tism? Are  they  aware  that  the  ren- 
egade Englishman,  Houston  Stew- 
art Chamberlain  married 
Wagner's  daughter?  This  arch 
anti-Semite's  Foundation  of  The 
Nineteenth  Century  became  a 
Bible  to  the  Nazis.  Was  it  merely 
accidental  that  Wagner's  daugh- 
ter-in-law, the  widow  of  his  son 
Siegfried,  was  among  the  first  in 
the  art  world  to  back  Adolf  Hit- 
ler? It  was  her  prestige  as  owner  of 
Wagner's  Music  Drama  Theatre 
at  Beyreuth  that  enabled  Shikel- 
gruber  to  meet  and  influence  the 
Cerman  intelligentsia. 

Wagner's  anti-Semitic  writings 
were  especially  vicious.  Until  the 
middle  of  the  igth  cenutry  the 
arts  were  singularly  free  of  Judeo- 
phobia.  Any  sensible  person  might 
ask  what  has  music  to  do  with 
race  liatred?  But  such  tolerance 
was  changed  by  Richard  Wagner, 
who  incidentally,  is  suspected  on 
pretty  strong  evidence,  to  be  the 
son  of  Ludwig  Geyer,  an  actor  of 
Jewish   descent   who   became  his

step-father.  The  Chief  of  Police, 
Karl  Friedrich  Wagner  and 
Johanna  were  estranged  for  good 
at  the  time  Richard  was  born. 

Unquestionably,  Richard  Wag- 
ner was  one  of  the  great  musical 
geniuses  of  all  time.  Yet  he  could 
be  spiteful,  envious  and  ungrate- 
ful. He  never  believed  in  paying 
an  honest  debt.  He  thought  noth- 
ing of  seducing  the  wives  of  his 
best  friends,  especially  of  those 
who  trusted  and  helped  him. 
When  Wagner  started  his  career, 
the  outstanding  names  in  music 
were  Mendelssohn,  Meyerbeer, 
Halevy,  Offenbach  and  others. 
They  happened  to  be  Jews.  When 
Wagner  saw  these  musicians  suc- 
cessful and  idolized  while  he 
struggled  in  poverty  to  gain  recog- 
nition, he  decided  to  get  even  for 
l  his  neglect.  In  the  tradition  of 
Haman,  he  took  revenge,  not  on 
his  competitors  alone  but  on  the 
entire  Jewish  people. 

Wagner's  vicious  pamphlet,  Ju- 
daism in  Music,  became  a  text 
book  for  anti-Semites  not  only  in 
Germany  but  throughout  Europe. 
And  as  he  emerged  from  obscurity 
to  international  fame  this  venomo- 
us tract  was  taken  more  and  more 
seriously.  It  established  Richard 
Wagner  as  the  anti-Jewish  Pope, 
the  godfather  of  Nazism.  The 
central  theme  of  his  creed  is  that 
Jews  as  an  alien  race  cannot  possibly 
comprehend  the  German  soul. 
Since  he  held  that  people  think 
with  their  blood,  a  Jewish  artist 
could  not  express  or  intrepret  the 
Germanic  spirit.  Thus,  if  he 
composes  music  he  introduces  an 
alien  element  which  corrupts 
the  pure  fountainhead  of  Teu- 
tonic Kultur.  It  follows  quite 
logically  that  all  music  written  by 
Jewish  composers  must  be  torn 
root  and  branch  out  of  German 
art.  This  poisonous  germ  grew  in- 
to a  catalysis  that  drove  the  Nazis 
to  burn  musical  works  by  Jewish 
composers  and  to  far  more  crimi- 
nal excesses.  Wagner's  dream  was 
symbolically  realized  with  the  de- 
struction of  Felix  Mendelssohn's 
marble  statue  at  Dusseldorf. 

Yet  Wagner  never  hesitated  to 
welcome  Jewish  assistance  in  pop- 
ularizing his  music  dramas.  The 
anti-Semite  is  seldom  a  whole- 
some or  consistent  person.  This 
becomes  apparent  when,  in  spite 
of  his  anti-Semitic  ravings,  Wag- 
ner utilized  the  talents  of  Herman 


Levi  to  conduct  the  international 
premiere  of  Parsifal  at  Beyreuth, 
an  historical  event  of  high  magni- 
tude in  the  musical  world.  But 
his  sub-conscious  wishes  were  com- 
pletely fulfilled  when  Jewish  sing- 
ers, conductors,  violinists,  pianists 
and  composers  were  either  banish- 
ed or  murdered  in  concentration 
camps. 

Wagner's  Judeophobia  did  not 
stop  with  music.  He  embraced 
racism  in  all  its  aspects.  Jews  be- 
came the  demons  exploiting  "the 
adorable  and  beautiful  Germans" 
as  described  by  his  "meistersinger" 
who  dogmatized  that  by  controll- 
ing the  banks  and  the  press  Jews 
dominated  the  entire  German  life. 
But  he  insisted  that  there  is  some- 
thing racially  mystical  about  the 
German  language  which  Jews 
could  never  hope  to  acquire.  In 
the  face  of  Heinrich  Heine's  ex- 
quisite handling  of  the  language 
in  poetry  and  prose,  Wagner  argu- 
ed that  Jews  could  never  feel, 
understand  or  create  in  German. 
Nazis  mouthed  this  slogan  until 
their  gas  chambers  were  seized  by 
the  allied  forces. 

A  good  example  of  Wagner's 
\irus  can  be  found  in  his  four 
gigantic  music  dramas  named  the 
Nibelungen  Ring.  It  opens  with 
the  three  maidens  swimming  in 
the  Rhine  while  guarding  the 
golden  treasure.  Alberich,  the 
"swarthy,  swampy  and  sulphur- 
ous" gnome  steals  the  hoard  and 
with  it  determines  to  dominate 
the  world.  (The  anti-Semite's 
snide  charge  of  Jewish  love  of 
gold  and  power.)  The  heroes  of 
the  saga  are  of  course  tall,  blond, 
strong,  brave,  courteous,  generous 
and  honorable,)  while  the  broth- 
ers Alberich  and  Mimi  are  describ- 
ed as  "gruesome,  grizzled  and 
gray,  cramped  and  crooked,  with 
hanging  ears  stretching,  bleary 
eyes  staring."  In  his  written  in- 
structions on  the  original  score, 
Wagner  directed  that  the  vocal 
delivery  of  the  two  Nibelungs 
should  be  "The  Jewish  manner 
of  speech  -  shrill,  hissing,  buzzing, 
a  wholly  foreign  and  aritrary  dis- 
tortions of  our  idiom." 

The  Wagnerian  poison  coursed 
through  the  German  nation  for 
three-score  years.  It  was  an  in- 
gredient in  the  Satanic  brew  that 
concocted  the  Third  Reich;  it 
also  became  a  factor  in  its  de-

EDITH  LICHTENSTEIN,  Correspondent 


"Warm  greetings  and  best

of  their  importance  in  rehabilitat- 
ing the  youth  of  Israel.  Her  own 
15-year-old  son,  just  returned 
from  Israel  and  was  greatly  im- 
pressed with  the  facilities  that 
youth  enjoy.  Incidentally,  the  Pot

Chinese  lanters,  with  hospitality

grasp:  that  the  body  was  perish-

even  a  shaggy  little  dog  had  an

Two  Jewish  houses  of  worship  in 
Columbus,  Ga.  were  painnted  with 
swastikas  recently  by  unidentified 
vandals  who  are  believed  to  have 
set  fire  and  heavily  damaged  the 
Columbus  Museum  of  Arts  and 
Crafts.  The  police  found  six  swas- 
tikas scrawled  on  the  museum 
walls.  Local  police  officials  are  said 
to  incline  to  the  view  that  the  in- 
cident was  a  case  of  pure  vandal- 
ism unrelated  to  prejudice,  but  the 
Jewish  community  in  Columbus, 
estimated  at  1,000  people,  abstain- 
ed from  commenting  on  the  situa- 
tion.

Eva  and  Jewish  Identify 

By  Meyer  Levin 


MEYER  LEVIN 

From  the  first  survivor  whom  I 
interviewed  as  he  emerged  from 
months  of  hiding  in  a  cellar  in 
Paris,  through  hundreds  of  others 
whom  I  was  to  know  in  the  liber- 
ated concentration  camps  and  on 
the  secret  roads  and  the  illegal  ships 
on  their  way  to  Palestine,  and  from 
Eva  herself  when  I  met  her  in 
Ramat  Gan,  a  single  theme  was 
to  emerge.  This  was  the  search  for 
identity,  the  clinging  to  identity. 

It  was  the  Who  am  I?  that  comes 
so  sharply  to  every  individual  who 
has  survived  a  thousand  near- 
deaths.  It  was  the  Who  am  I?  that 
echoes  in  every  one  of  us,  and  that 
rings  so  loudly  in  the  entire  world 
today,  as,  on  the  one  hand,  sub- 
merged people  arise  to  assert  their 
identity,  and  as,  on  the  other  hand, 
regimentation  in  various  lands 
tends  to  submerge  this  identity. 

Who  is  Eva?  She  is  a  woman 
who  had  to  sacrifice  her  identity 
to  save  her  existence,  through  the 


Avar  years.  A  Jewish  girl,  she  had 
to  pose  as  a  Ukranian  maid.  But 
her  identity,  herself,  persisted,  more 
precious  even  than  existence.  In 
the  most  dangerous  circumstances 
in  the  conscripted  labor  camps 
within  the  enemy  land,  she  was 
impelled  to  reveal  that  she  was 
a  Jewess  to  those  who  became  close 
to  her.  She  had  to  be  herself. 

Her  inner  identity  was  inescap- 
ably Jewish.  That  it  was  indeed 
inescapable  was  proven  to  Eva 
when  she  finally  did  try  to  escape 
from  it.  For  to  Eva,  as  to  all  of  us, 
came  the  question:  Is  it  worthwhile 
to  continue  to  be  a  Jew?  The  same 
question  has  been  answered  by 
Boris  Pasternak,  in  rote  form,  in 
the  negative,  through  a  character 
in  Dr.  Zhivago.  Similarly,  after  the 
war,  believing  the  Jewish  commu- 
nity to  be  dead,  Eva  tried  to  find 
another  life  as  a  non- Jewish  citizen. 

An  assassination  of  a  loved  one 
proved  to  her,  once  and  for  all, 
that  she  could  only  live  in  a  posi- 
tive sense  as  a  Jew. 

Eva  is  anything  but  a  political 
novel,  and  yet  the  politics  of  the 
world  today  hinge  on  freedom  of 
identity;  and  often  it  is  Jewish 
identity  that  is  once  again  the  test 
case.  Eva  went  through  that  test 
in  post-war  Poland  and  made  her 
final,  inevitable  choice  to  seek  her 
home. 

The  story  of  each  Jewish  sur- 
vivor is  a  series  of  adventures,  ac- 
cidents, miracles.  To  each  we  say- 
unbelievable.     Every  Jew  out  of

written  and  produced  by  Leon  Uris,  author  of  "Exodus,"  and  starring  Ed- 
ward G.  Robinson,  was  held  at  the  National  Economic  Conference  for  Israel 
Bonds  in  Chicago  on  September  19.  Israel's  top  Cabinet  officials,  Levi  Eshkol, 
Minister  of  Finance,  and  Mrs.  Golda  Meir,  Minister  for  Foreign  Affairs  view- 
ed the  film  togetier  with  more  than  1,000  Jewish  leaders  from  communities 
throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada.  Produced  in  Cinema-Scope  and 
Technicolor,  the  film  a  so  has  a  special  musical  score  written  by  Elmer  Bern- 
stein, noted  Hollywood  composer.  The  film  premiere  was  a  highlight  of  the 
three-day  national  conference  which  officially  launched  the  Fall  campaign 
for  Israel  Bonds  to  accelerate  the  growth  of  Israel's  economy.

nice  it  would  be  to  have  a  social 
and  lecreational  center  at  which 
Jewish  boys  and  girls,  men  and 
women  of  Columbia's  two  syna- 
gogues could  meet,  nothing  was 
done. 

Several  years  ago,  M.  B.  Kahn 
organized  a  group  of  the  city's 
leading  Jewish  businessmen,  spear- 
headed a  drive  for  funds,  and  built 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  Jewish 
community  centers  in  the  South- 
east. Again  his  company  erected 
die  building  at  cost  and,  although 
Mr.  Kahn  was  one  of  the  largest 
contributors  to  the  Center  fund, 
he  continually  provided  material 
and  supplies  which  were  never 
charged  against  construction  costs. 

Mr.  Kahn  served  as  president 
of  the  Center's  board  of  trustees 
for  its  first  two  years,  stepping 
down  over  the  protests  of  its  mem- 
bers  only  after  major  financial 
problems  had  been  solved  and  the 
Center  well  on  its  way  to  becoming 
a  key  factor  in  Jewish  community 
life  in  Columbia.

Mr.  Kahn's  interest  have  not

mittees of  the  United  Fund  and 
its  predecessor,  the  Columbia  Com-

He  has  been  a  regular  contributor 
to  the  scholarship  fund  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  South  Carolina  and  to 
the  Clemson  College  Architectural 
Foundation,  of  which  he  was  a 
charter  member.  He  contributes  to 
a  number  of  other  Jewish  and  non- 
Jewish  charities.  Mr.  Kahn  is  also 
a  member  of  the  Carolinas  Chapter, 
Associated  General  Contractors. 

Mr.  Kahn  is  married  to  the 
tomer  Bsssie  Peskin  Rubin. 

Still  extremely  active  at  73,  he 
enjoys  boating  and  fishing  in  a 
lake  he  owns  outside  of  town,  two 
sports  he  learned  since  settling  in 
Columbia. 

His  reputation  for  extending  a 
helping  hand  and  for  participation 
in  worthwhile  activities  is  but  one 
mark  of  his  fine  character.  His 
fairness  in  all  dealings  is  testified 
to  by  the  large  number  of  members 
of  his  firm  who  have  been  with 
him,  without  a  break  in  service, 
since  he  first  organized  his  con- 
struction company  25  years  ago.

The  20lh  Anniversary  of  World  War  Two 

By  Nehemiah  Robinson 


On  September  I,  1939,  the  Nazis 
moved  their  armies  against  Po- 
land thus  unleashing  the  Second 
World  War.  They  did  this,  as  ft 
soon  became  clear,  with  the  know- 
ledge and  connivance  of  the  USSR 
(which,  however,  did  not  prevent 
the  Third  Reich  from  marching 
less  than  two  years  later,  against 
Pvussial:  This  attack  on  Poland 
marked  the  start  of  the  third 
phase  of  Nazi  expansion,  that  of 
actual  warfare.  The  first  phase  of 
the  demolition  of  what  had  be- 
come known  as  "Versailles"— the 
political  structure  of  Europe  and, 
(o  some  extent,  of  the  world 
created  by  the  Allies  after  the 
end  of  the  First  World  War— con- 
sisted of  the  one-sided  abolition 
of  reparation  payments,  the  rc 
occupation  of  the  Rheinland  and 
the  repudiation  of  the  rearma- 
ment restrictions  of  the  Versailles 
Treaty.  Once  in  full  control  of 
the  German  territory  and  having 
expanded  its  armament  industry 
and  its  army,  the  Third  Reich 
was  ready  for  territorial  expansion 
by  threats  and  "peaceful",  or  rath- 
er unopposed,  occupation.  F^om 
1938  to  1939  thev  succeeded  in 
annex-'n"  Austria,  breaking  up 
Czechoslovakia  and  incorporating 
the  Sudetenland,  later  regaining 
the  Memel  territory,  occupying 
nuncated  Czechia  (Bohemia-  Mo- 
ravia") and  establishing  it  as  a 
German  "Protectorate"  and.  for 
all  practical  purposes,  reeainin*? 
control  over  the  Free  Citv  of 
Danzie.  In  the  second  half  of  1939, 
having  secured  their  rear  through 
the  afore-mentioned  annexations 
and  the  agreement  with  the  Soviet 
Union,  they  were  readv  for  the 
"big  kill",  the  war  no  longer  of 
nerves  but  of  guns. 

The  Nazis  made  as  little  secret 
of  their  hatred  for  "Versai'les" 
and  their  determination  to  seek 
revenue,  as  the)  did  of  their  Tu- 
dophobia.  How  then  was  it  pos 
sible  for  the  Third  Reich  to  be- 
come, within  the  short  span  of  a 
few  years,  the  Dominant  Military 
power  in  Europe  (or  even  in  the 
world)?  In  defiance  of  the  clear 
provisions  of  the  Versailles  Treaty, 
and  to  terrorize  nto  only  the  small- 
er nations  but  the  Great  Powers- 
France  and  Great  Britain? 

There  were  two  basic  reasons 
for  it.  One— again  as  in  the  case  of 


the  anti-Jewish  plan?— neither  the 
Allied  statesmen  nor  the  public 
believed  that  they  really  meant 
what  they  said.  As  late  as  1933. 
not  only  Neville  Chamberlain  but 
also  the  British  people  apparently 
thought  that,  by  sacrificing  Czech- 
oslovakia, they  would  secure  per 
manent  peace.  The  belief  that 
the  Nazi  expansion  had  only  limit- 
ed objectives  was  very  well  ex- 
pressed in  the  French  appealer's 
slogan  "Mourir  pour  Danzig?"  (Is 
it  worthwhile  to  die  to  maintain 
the  status  of  the  Free  City  of 
Danzig?),  as  well  as  in  the  Belgian 
refusal  of  full  military  coopera- 
tion with  the  French  (until  they 
were  invaded!) 


The  second  reason  was  that  the 
victorious  \lliance  of  the  First 
World  War  had  begun  to  disinte- 
grate almost  as  soon  as  the  war 
was  over,  not  to  speak  of  the  first 
breach  in  the  front  brought  about 
by  the  Communist  revolution  in 
Russia  which  led  to  a  separate 
peace.  The  U.S.A.,  in  the  grip  of 
renewed  isolationism,  neither  ac- 
cepted the  Versailles  Treaty  nor 
joined  the  League  of  Nations. 
Italy,  even  before  the  advent  of 
Mussolini,  had  begun  to  feel  that 
it  was  not  treated  fairly  by  the 
two  other  Big  Three  Powers- 
France  and  Great  Britain.  The 
estrangement  grew  until  Mussolini 
openly  defied  his  former  allies 
by  invading  Ethiopia.  Japan,  too, 
flouted  the  League  of  Nations  by 
invading  Manchuria.   The  rival- 


23 

ries  between  France  and  Great 
Britain  in  the  Midle  East  and 
elsewhere  also  contributed  to  the 
creation  of  a  power  vacuum  in 
Europe.  Great  Britain  was  prac- 
tically disarmed.  France  was  ob- 
sessed with  the  "impregnability" 
of  her  Maginot  Line  and  with  the 
fear  that  again,  as  in  World  War 
I,  Frenchmen  in  the  best  years  of 
their  lives  would  be  killed  off  by 
the  millions-a  traumatic  experi- 
ence from  which  she  had  never 
recovered.  Poland,  with  its  inef- 
ficient administration,  was  busy 
oppressing  her  minorities,  in  par- 
ticular the  Jews  but  also  the  Bye 
lorussians  and  Ukrainians.  Czech- 
oslovakia, the  only  country  in  that 
region  which  was  able  to  main- 
tain both  a  democratic  regime  and

From  Dubuque  To  Israel 

By  Bill  Format! 


I'm  a  plain  average  citizen,  I 
guess.  I  come  from  Dubuque  — 
and  here  I  am  in  Israel.  I  came 
just  before  last  Rosh  Hashonah. 
I  expected  to  be  back  in  Dubuque 
a  long  time  ago,  but  I  keep  delay- 
ing. 

There's  fascination  about  Israel. 
Like  I  was  in  Ascalon  the  other 
day  —  the  town  where  Samson  had 
that  date  with  Delilah,  and,  so 
help  me,  the  cafe  there  is  named 
Delilah.  It  sort  of  does  something 
to  you  —  being  in  the  place  the 
Bible  wrote  about  and  it  all  comes 
to  life.  I  was  sort  of  expecting 
Delilah  to  pop  out  any  time  and 
ask  me  if  I  would  care  to  come 
into  her  parlor  and  have  my  locks 
shorn. 

Well,  I  saw  some  gals  as  good 
looking  as  Delilah  ever  was  but 
I  had  no  trouble  with  them.  Not 
far  from  Ascalon  by  the  way  is  the 
large  pipe  factory,  financed  by  Is- 
rael Bonds,  of  which  I  have  bought 
a  few.  As  you  know  they  have  been 
a  principal  means  of  building  up 
this  country. 

Last  week  I  was  at  Caesaria,  too. 
The  archaelogists  are  busy  there. 
You  always  thought,  I  bet,  that 
archaeologists  dig  in  the  earth. 
They  do,  but  those  at  Caesaria  dig 
in  the  water,  or  rather  they  skin 
dive.  Caesaria  is  famous  in  history 
—Roman,  Jewish,  Christian,  and 
the  sea  bottom  is  full  of  relics  of 
the  past  and  the  archaeologists  are 
bringing  to  the  top  the  remnants 
of  its  great  past. 

Just  before  the  holidays  in  Is- 
rael, Egged,  that's  the  name  of  the 
big  bus  company,  puts  on  hundreds 
of  extra  buses,  for  the  people  like 
to  travel  for  the  holidays.  Boy,  if 
you  want  to  see  traffic  you  should 
see  the  traffic  on  the  new  road 
from  Beersheba  to  Elat. 

Everybody  is  interested  in  Elat 
these  days.  Everybody  is  talking 
about  the  great  port  city  which 
will  connect  the  West  with  the 
Far  East.  In  the  days  of  King  Solo- 
mon the  ships  of  Israel  passed  from 
Elat  to  far-off  Chitim,  which  some 
take  to  mean  China,  and  it  was 
at  Elat  that  King  Solomon  put  out 
the  mat  for  the  Queen  of  Sheba. 

But  I  was  interested  in  what  a 
resident  of  Elat  told  me  about  the 
place.  He  said  there's  no  rheuma- 
tism or  asthma  in  Elat.  Even  if 
you  should  want  a  little  rheuma- 


tism, you  can't  get  it  there.  It  seems 
the  climate  just  won't  permit  it. 
As  I  was  saying,  I  was  told  this 
by  a  citizen.  It's  not  official.  If 
any  sufferers  from  these  sicknesses 
want  the  facts,  I  would  suggest 
that  they  get  in  touch  with  the 
Hon.  Hannoch  Nenner,  the  Mayor 
of  Elat.  I  had  the  good  fortune 
to  meet  His  Honor,  the  Mayor,  and 
he  is  a  very  fine  young  men  and 
I  am  sure  he  will  answer  any  in- 
quiries. 

There  is  another  thing  about 
Elat  which  should  bring  all  the 
housewives  there.  They  tell  me  that 
wash  hung  out  on  the  clothes  line 
there  dries  in  twenty  minutes.  Why 
invest  in  one  of  those  machine 
dryers?  After  you've  done  your 
washing,  just  take  a  jet  plane  to 
Elat  and  the  clothes  will  dry  before 
papa  is  home  from  business. 

Yes,  it's  warm  in  Elat— just  like 
in  Arizona,  but  there's  the  Red 
Sea  in  the  front  yard  where  you 
can  always  take  a  dip. 

Another  place  that  interested  me 
is  Ein  Hoc!.  That's  city  where  art- 
ists live.  Eisenhower  should  come 
here  and  paint  and  enjoy  himself 
instead  (,1  tiring  himself  out  with 
being  President,  which  anybody 
can  do  if  he  gets  enough  votes.  Ein 
Hod  is  like  the  American  Green- 
wich Village  except  that  at  Ein 
Hod  the  artist  doesn't  have  to 
paint  the  sky  from  the  imagination. 
There  are  no  tall  buildings  to 
obscure  it.

The^Strange  Case, 

Of  Joseph  Smith 


Pseudonyms  are  often  used  in 
theatrical  and  literary  circles;  im- 
migrants change  names  to  meet 
new  ways  in  new  lands;  criminals 
use  aliases  for  obvious  reasons.  But 
the  American  Jewish  Archives,  the 
historical  research  center  at  He- 
brew Union  College- Jewish  Insti- 
tute of  Religion  here  has  come  up 
with  a  mysterious  name  change:  a 
Jewish  Revolutionary  War  hero 
who  slid  in  and  out  of  a  pseudo- 
nym or  no  discoverable  reason  un- 
der the  sun. 

Passing  himself  off  as  "Joseph 
Smith,"  the  Jew  Elias  Pollock  ren- 
dered distinguished  military  service 
in  the  Revolutionary  War.  Return- 
ing to  civilian  life,  he  quietly  re- 
sumed his  original  identity.  Dr. 
Jacob  R.  Marcus,  director  of  the 
American  Jewish  Archives,  informs 
us  that  documents  acquired  from 
the  National  Archives  and  Records 
Service  in  Washington,  D.  C,  tell 
the  story  of  the  mysterious  pseudo- 
nym, and  prove  beyond  doubt  that 
Smith  and  Pollock  were  actually 
one  man. 

Pollock's  part  in  the  American 
Revolution  had  been  anything  but 
ignoble.  In  the  spring  of  1778,  giv- 
ing his  n&me  as  "Joseph  Smith," 
Pollock  enlisted  as  a  private  in  the 
3rd  Maryland  Regiment,  at  Balti- 
more. After  seeing  service  with  the 
army  in  Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey, 
and  New  York,  Pvt.  "Smith"  set 
out  for  Charleston,  S.  C,  with  his 
regiment  in  the  spring  of  1780.  In 
August  of  that  year,  according  to

his  pension  file,  he  was  "engaged  in 
the  battle  of  Camden  (S.  C.)  when 
(the  American  commander)  Gates 
was  defeated,  deponant  (Pollock) 
wounded  in  the  side  and  taken 
prisoner,  carried  to  (British-occu- 
pied) Charleston  and  from  thence 
sent  as  a  prisoner  of  war  to  Saint 
Augustine,  East  Florida,"  where  he 
was  detained  "until  news  of  peace, 
then  sent  to  Halifax  and  liberated, 
returned  to  Baltimore." 

A  fellow  Baltimorean,  one  John 
Williams,  who  had  served  in  the 
army  with  "Joseph  Smth,"  declared 
years  later,  in  1818,  that  he  and 
"Smith"  had  been  together  until 
1780.  They  had  met  again  six  years 
later  in  Baltimore.  The  soldier  he 
had  known  as  Joseph  Smith,  said 
Williams,  "has  ever  since  been 
known  by  the  name  of  'Elias  Pol- 
lock.' " 

Not  much  else  is  known  about 
Elias  Pollock  alias  Joseph  Smith. 
There  is  no  doubt  of  his  religion; 
in  1818,  according  to  Pollock's  pen- 
sion file  in  the  National  Archives, 
when  he  applied  for  the  govern- 
ment pension  due  needy  veterans 
of  the  Revolutionary  War,  the  cus- 
tomary oath  was  "administered  to 
him  on  the  five  books  of  Moses,  as 
beng  a  Jew."  On  that  occasion,  the 
former  soldier  signed  himself  as 
"Elias  Pollock"—//?  Hebrew  charac- 
ters1. 

Pollock  had  been  born,  his  file 
indicates,  about  the  year  1755.  Mis- 
fortune apparently  haunted  him. 
Married  and  with  two  daughters,

Lincoln  and  Herzl 

By  Dr.  Miriam  K.  Freund 

National  President  of  Hadassah 


In  May  i860,  the  month  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  was  nominated  for 
the  Presidency  of  the  United  States, 
a  child  was  born  in  the  Austro- 
Hungarian  city  of  Budapest.  That 
child,  Theodor  Herzl,  was  destined 
to  become  the  father  of  modern 
Zionism,  whose  obsession  with  the 
situation  of  his  fellow  Jews  and 
whose  compulsive  desire  to  nor- 
malize their  status  was  to  bring 
about  the  re-emergence  of  Israel  as 
a  sovereign  state.  The  centennial 
of  both  events  will  be  marked  in 
May  i960. 

Lincoln  and  Herzl  assumed  the 
responsibility  of  liberating  human 
beings  from  the  tyranny  of  bigotry 
and  prejudice  as  their  mission  in 
life.  Neither  survived  to  see  the 
fruits  of  his  labor.  Yet  each  is  en- 
shrined in  history  and  revered  to- 
day despite  the  fact  that  during 
their  lifetime  they  were  controver- 
sial figures.  They  had  to  endure 
stinging  criticisms  uttered  in  the 
heat  of  passion  and  the  honor  they 
enjoyed  was  "not  quite  free  from 
ridicule." 

Herzl  was  the  first  man  since 
Biblical  times  who  became  a  na- 
tional Jewish  hero.  The  Jews  chose 
Herzl  because  it  was  he  who  re- 
awakened in  the  '  contemporary 
world  Jewish  community  a  national 
consciousness  at  a  time  when  the 
Jewish  people  had  sunk  into  the 
depths  of  despair  under  the  degre- 
dation  and  opprobrium  of  their 
anti-Semitic  oppressors.  The  Jews 
accepted  Herzl  as  a  guiding  load- 
star because  he  gave  new  life  to  the 
ancient  hope  within  their  breast 
and  gave  concrete  direction  to  their 
craving  for  a  return  to  Zion.  All 
through  their  long  exile  —  in  their 
prayers,  their  books,  their  writings 
—  was  expressed  their  innermost 
spirit:  "Next  Year  in  Jerusalem  " 
Herzl  articulated  their  yearning  for 
nationhood  in  the  ancient  home- 
land of  Palestine. 

In  the  moment  of  Czarist  po- 
groms and  the  odious  ani-Semi- 
tism  which  manifested  itself  so 
acutely  in  the  Dreyfus  Trial,  the 
Jews  needed  the  self-confidence 
Herzl  was  able  to  instill  in  them. 
The  mantle  of  Moses  seemed  to  fall 
upon  him  and  he  offered  surcease 
to  Jewish  sufferings  and  Jewish 
longings  thruogh  the  centuries.  In 
his  personality,  through  his  writ- 


ings, in  his  "Jedenstadt,"  he  made 
it  possible  for  Jews  to  look  for- 
ward to  and  to  mobilize  efforts  for 
a  Jewish  State  in  the  land  promised 
by  the  Lord. 

Although  Lincoln  and  Herzl  both 
now  "belong  to  the  ages,"  the  issues 
they  fought  for  are  as  vital  today 
as  when  they  were  first  defined. 
Despite  Israel's  establishment  as 
an  independent  Jewish  State,  there 
is  still  a  need  for  the  Herzlean 
dream  in  our  lives  —  a  need  for  be- 
lieving, as  he  did,  that  Zionism  has 
united  the  scattered  limbs  of  Jewry 
upon  a  national  basis  and  that  it 
means  "the  return  to  Judaism  even 
before  the  return  to  the  Jewish 
land."  For  he  maintained  that  only 
by  joining  forces  in  the  prepetua- 
tion  of  Jewishness  in  a  Jewish 
homeland  could  a  Jewish  nation 
raise  itself  as  an  equal  among  na- 
tions; the  very  existence  of  a  Jew- 
ish State  would  militate  the  bene- 
fit of  Jews  wherever  they  may  be. 

Max  Nordau,  one  of  Herzl's 
closest  colleagues,  has  called  him 
"our  Disraeli,"  who  was  endowed 
with  a  "genius  for  action."  In  the 
eight  years  prior  to  his  untimely 
death  in  1904,  Herzl  had  risen 
from  obscurity  in  Jewish  life  to  a 
position  of  unchallenged  leadership 
in  the  cause  of  Jewish  nationalism. 
In  that  period,  he  founded  the 
World  Zionist  Organization  and  in- 
stituted annual  World  Zionist  Con- 
gresses as  a  means  of  providing 
self-expression  to  the  political  as- 
pirations of  the  Jews.  He  organized 
the  Jewish  Colonial  Trust  and  the 
Anglo  -  Palestine  Company  as 
the  financial  instrument  of  the 
Zionist  Movement.  Not  only  did 
he  define  the  philosophy  of  Po- 
litical Zionism,  he  pondered  and

formulated  every  detail  of  a  mag- 
nifitant  plan  for  a  future  Jewish 
Commonwealth. 

As  early  as  1865,  Herzl  seems  to 
have  been  possessed  of  the  pre- 
monition that  his  time  might  be 
running  out.  "Who  knows  how 
soon  it  will  be  over?"  he  wrote.  He 
described  his  anxiety  in  the  words 
of  Heine: 

"I  tremble 
Lest  I  may  pass  away  this  night, 
Pass  away  before  I  bring  this  work 
to  a  close." 

Herzl  was  a  Prophet  and  yet  a 
man  of  action.  The  Herzl  that 
reaches  deepest  into  our  hearts 
and  minds  is  Her/1  the  Dreamer. 
It  was  his  dreams  that  propelled 
him— and  us— to  action  ;it  was  his 
dreams— in  the  imponderables— 
that  he  found  substance.  "Please 
believe  me,"  he  wrote  to  Barton 
de  Hirsch,  "'the  political  life  of  an 
entire  people— particularly  when 
that  people  is  scattered  through- 
out the  entire  world  —  can  be  set 
in  motion  only  with  imponderables 
floating  high  in  the  air.  What?  You 
do  not  understnad  imponderables? 
And  what  is  religion?  Bethink  your- 


self what  the  Jews  have  endured 
for  two  thousand  years  for  the  sake 
of  this  fantasy." 

This  was  Herzl's  language  of 
faith,  spoken  with  the  voice  which 
is  the  voice  of  the  Jews  through 
the  centuries. 

Today,  the  vision  is  a  reality. 
We  h:ive  seen  the  advent  of  the 
State  of  Israel -a  new  nation  born 
of  Jewish  idealism  and  faith,  of 
Jewish  courage  and  tenacity,  of 
Jewish  tragedy  and  persecution. 
The  major  objective  of  Herzl's 
Basle  Program  has  been  achieved. 
But  Her/el  saw  more  as  the  role 
of  Jewry  in  the  world. 

In  addressing  the  third  Zionist 
Congress,  he  declared:  "The  pres- 
ent condition  of  the  Jews  can 
lead  in  three  directions.  The 
first  is  the  dumb  endurance  of 
humiliation  and  need.  The  second 
is  a  fierce  rebellion  against  a  step- 
motherly society.  We  have  chosen 
the  third  way:  We  wish  to  lift 
ourselves  to  a  higher  level  or 
morality,  work  for  the  common 
weal,  build  new  roads  for  the  in-

FRED  W.  HANDEL,  Correspondent 


Both  our  auxiliary  and  post 
share  a  bit  of  prestige  on  a  JWV 
and  JWVA  national  scale,  namely, 
through  the  recent  election  of  Mrs. 
Rose  Friedman  to  the  office  of 
national  auxiliary  chaplain  at  the 
national  convention  held  in  New 
York  City.  Our  post  is  represented 
nationally  by  Irving  Krukin,  now 
in  his  second  term  as  national  ex- 
exutive  committeeman  from  the  4th 
region,  which  covers  the  southern 
states. 

Mrs.  Friedman  has  held  national 
offices  for  three  consecutive  years. 
Previously  she  was  national  con- 
ductress and  national  patriotic  in- 
structor. 

Our  local  auxiliary  also  attained 
national  honors,  having  received 
a  citation  for  the  largest  increase 
in  membership  in  Virginia.  Mrs. 
Julius  Higger  received  a  special 
citation  for  her  efforts  in  bringing 
in  the  most  new  members. 

The  devoted  efforts  of  our  ladies 
for  the  Kecoughtan  Veterans  Hos- 
pital at  Kecoughtan,  Virginia  con- 
tinue undaunted.  A  night  group 
headed  by  Mrs.  Barney  Brittman 
makes  visitations  and  daytime  vis- 
its are  organized  by  Mrs.  Irvin 
Miller.  Besides  the  excellent  work 
accomplished  at  Kecoughtan,  local- 
ly, members  assist  at  the  St.  Mary's 
Infant  Home  and  the  Tidewater 
Vocational  Center. 

The  post's  annual  beer  party, 
held  at  the  Regant  Brewery  Sep- 
tember 15th,  signaled  the  start  of 
the  fall  season  of  activities. 

The  evening  was  designated 
"Bring  A  Member  Night"  and  the 
membership  was  treated  to  a  night 
of  good  fellowship  and  an  abun- 
dance of  food  and  drink. 

The  Sunday  Serviceman's  Brunch 
program  at  the  Jewish  Community 
Center  is  now  in  full  operation. 
Lou  Hornstone,  2nd  junior  vice- 
commander  as  chairman  of  the 
brunch,  is  responsible  for  obtain- 
ing the  necessary  workers  each 
Sunday  to  aid  in  preparations.  This 
project  has  been  highly  successful 
and  appreciated  by  the  servicemen 
in  the  Norfolk  area. 

Program  Chairman  Dick  Ornoff 
and  post  senior  vice-commander 
announced  at  the  September  meet- 
ing that  Chaplain  Sam  Sobel,  the 


new  Jewish  chaplain  in  our  area, 
would  be  guest  speaker  at  the 
October  meeting.  Our  auxiliary 
will  be  invited  guests.  The  com- 
bined memberships  of  our  organiza- 
tion will  have  an  early  opportunity 
to  become  acquainted  with  Chap 
lain  Sobel  who  holds  the  rank  of 
Lt.  Commander. 

November  16th  is  the  date  set 
for  the  6th  Annual  Veterans'  Day 
dance  sponsored  by  the  post.  This 
year  Myers  Hall,  Beth  El  Temple 
will  be  the  scene.  Proceeds  derived 
from  the  affair  are  placed  in  the 
post  Welfare  Fund  and  then  dis- 
tributed locally  to  worthy  causes. 
Lou  Hornstone  as  chairman  will 
have  serving  on  his  committee  with 
him,  Albert  Lynn,  Stanley  Rosen- 
berg, Artie  Epner,  Bernie  Breman, 
Raymond  Cohen  and  Fred  Handel. 

With  membership  still  the  life 
blood  of  any  organization  the  fol- 
lowing new  members  were  recently 
voted  into  the  post;  Albert  Lynn, 
Jacob  Chernitzer,  Bernie  Breman 
and  Howard  Nelson. 

With  the  coming  of  the  New 
Year  to  our  many  fellow  members 
throughout  the  state  may  I  extend 
on  behalf  of  our  post  and  auxiliary, 
best  wishes  for  good  health  and 
happiness  throughout  the  New 
Year.

With  all  the  newcomers  arriving 
in  Greensboro  this  summer,  we  bid 
farewell  to  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Paul  Bines 
and  family  who  have  moved  to 
Miami.  We  welcome  the  many 
newcomers  to  Greensboro  and  shall

quent issues. 

Speaking  of  newcomers,  Lynn

daughter  born  to  Mr.  8c  Mrs.  Wil- 
lie Selman  and  one  born  to  Mr.

Seymour  Sierachik  and  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Sidney  Wolvek.  Best  wishes

know  they  have  contributed  so 
much  to  the  betterment  of  their 
congregation  and  community.  We 
know  we  shall  continue  to  benefit 
from  their  advice  and  wisdom  in 
the  coming  years. 

The  Piedmont  Federation  of 
Temple  Youth  held  its  first  camp 
conclave  August  23-28  at  Wildacres 
in  Little  Switzerland.  A.Z.A.  Vice- 
President,  Frank  Sloan,  attended 
this  conclave  and  submitted  the 
following  edited  report:  'Each  par- 
ticipant derived  a  greater  know- 
ledge of  the  true  essence  of  Judaism 
as  well  as  a  comparative  study  of 
the  faith  of  our  Christian  neigh- 
bors ...  A  new  venture  for  Jewish 
youth  in  this  area  .  .  .  the  gains 
horn  a  meeting  of  this  sort  are 
innumerable  .  .  .  helped  us  realize 
that  our  religious  studies  are  not 
terminated  at  Bar  Mitzvah  or  Con- 
firmation and  gave  us  the  stimulus 
to  delve  into  some  of  Judaism's 
basic  tenets.  We  are  proud  of  the 
contributions  made  by  Rabbi  Ry- 
pins and  Rabbi  Asher  in  the  dis- 
cussion groups  which  they  conduct- 
ed, the  committees  they  advised, 
and  their  general  helpfulness  .  .  . 
Thanks  are  due  to  Mrs.  A.  F.  Klein, 
counselor,  for  her  help  in  making 
this  conference  successful." 

We  are  hoping  for  a  most  suc- 
cessful year  for  the  Temple  Eman- 
uel Religious  School,  which  began 
with  registration  day  on  September 
13th.  The  school  will  be  under  the 
guidance  of  Rabbi  Joseph  Asher, 
who  has  done  a  great  deal  of  pre- 
paratory work  during  the  summer 
months  on  this  projects.  Rabbi 
Asher  has  introduced  a  new  school- 
uide  curriculum  to  the  teachers,

The  summer  is  over  and  our 
scattered  residents  are  slowly  com- 
ing back  to  town  to  settle  down 
once  again  to  normal  living.  After 
the  total  migration  it  seems  good 
to  see  them  all  again. 

Aside  from  the  local  beach-comb- 
ers there  were  some  like  Junie 
Katzin  and  children  who  spent 
iheir  long-distance  vacation  at  Bel 
Harbor,  N.  Y.  with  Junie's  parents. 
The  Maurice  Margolis  family  took 
a  trip  to  Florida,  and  the  Art  Sher- 
mans spent  some  time  in  the  Bor- 
sht  Belt  in  New  York  State.  Ellie 
and  Ike  Margolis  and  their  boys, 
who  moved  from  Jacksonville 
about  two  years  ago,  were  in 
town  last  Saturday.  They  were 
on  their  way  home  to  Holly- 
wood, Florida  from  New  York.

Congratulations  to  Miss  Barbara 
Lee  Sultan,  daughter  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Sigmund  Sultan,  who  was 
graduated  from  the  Richmond  Pro- 
fessional Institute  of  the  College 
of  William  and  Mary  with  a  Bach- 
elor of  Science  degree.  Barbara  will 
begin  teaching  the  second  grade  in 
Chesterfield  County,  Richmond, 
Va.,  this  fall.  We  certainly  are 
proud  of  her  and  wish  her  loads  of 
success. 

The  sincere  sympathy  of  the  com- 
munity is  expressed  to  the  follow- 
ing: Mrs.  Hattie  Adler  and  chil- 
dren, Bill,  Harry  and  Irvin,  of 
Tarboro,  on  the  loss  of  their  hus- 
band and  father,  Philip  Adler; 
Aaron  Copeland,  on  the  death  of 
his  mother,  Mrs.  Ethel  Schultz,  of 
Chicago. 


over  the  Margolises  as  far  as  a  re- 
ception was  concerned.  Every  one 
was  so  very  glad  to  see  them  again 
and  Junie  Katzin  was  hostess  at  a 
coffee  hour  at  her  home  honoring 
Ellie. 

Nathan  Leder  and  Susan  Seger- 
man  returned  from  Camp  Lakeside 
in  Hendersonville  after  having 
spent  a  wonderful  week  with  other 
members  of  Jewish  Youth  of  our 
state,  sponsored  by  the  North  Car- 
ol ina  Association  of  Jewish  Men, 
Women,  and  Rabbis.  Susan,  upon 
her  return  from  camp,  was  inform- 
ed by  the  principal  of  her  school 
that  the  results  of  the  National 
Merit  Scholarship  Test  she  took  last 
May  placed  her  in  the  top  five  per 
cent  of  the  nation's  high  school  stu- 
dents. Her  over-all  average  of  the 
five-category  test  was  ninety-seven. 
That's  our  little  girl!

Larry  Neuwirth  and  Bruce 
Fieisher  starred  in  Little  League 
baseball  and  each  one  more  than 
once  saved  the  game  for  his  re- 
spective team.  Joe  Friedman,  How- 
ard and  Marvin  Neuwirth  and  Gil- 
bert Karp  were  also  Little  Leaguers. 

Golf  seemed  to  attract  the  ma- 
jority of  the  fellows,  and  they  all 
gave  a  good  account  of  themselves 
in  the  various  tournaments.  Leslie 
Fieisher  won  the  City  Junior  Open 
championship.  Others  doing  well 
in  the  contest  included  Rocky  Ber- 
man,  Marvin  Neuwirth,  Michael 
Blakeman,  Howard  Stein,  and  Fred- 
die Neuwirth. 

Among  the  campers  Randy  May 
was  awarded  the  junior  Life-saving

awarded  the  "Outstanding  Camp-

Lincoln  and  Herzl 

(Concluded  From  Page  27) 
tercommunications  of  mankind 
break  a  new  path  for  social  jus- 
tice. And  even  as  our  beloved  poet 
Heine  turned  his  sorrows  into 
song,  so  we  out  of  our  sorrows 
will  bring  forth  advancement  for 
the  humanity  which  we  serve." 

This  is  the  utterance  of  a  man 
who,  like  Lincoln,  believed  in 
the  necessity  of  that  "new  birth 
of  freedom,"  which  is  so  vital  to 
all  mankind.  This  is  a  message 
fraught  with  meaning  and  signifi- 
cance to  us  all.  And  if  this  be 
dreaming,  then  let  us  dream  with 
all  our  might.

Plans  for  the  coming  year  are 
in  full  swing  here  in  Winston- 
Salem.  At  the  present  time  Council- 
Sisterhood's  Annual  Harvest  Lunch-

A  breakfast  was  served  at  the

the  solicitors.  Then  at  12:30  P.  M. 
the  women  in  the  community 
attended   lunch   at    the  Temple 


and  an  afternoon  of  learning  and 
fun. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Leonard  Clein  be- 
came parents  of  a  son;  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Martin  Levin  are  very 
happy  over  the  birth  of  their  third 
daughter.  Mazel  Tov  to  the  lucky

Other  happy  occasions  during

Barbara  Lavietes,  daughter  of  Mr.

in  her  eyes  the  first  day  of  school 
who  could  be  prouder  than  a  parent 
of  a  first  grader.  May  the  years 
ahead  for  these  youngsters  and 
parents  be  wonderful  years.

It  was  in  New  York  that  Mr. 
Baum  met  his  charming  wife,  Ray, 
and  they  were  married  in  Septem- 
ber 1954.  The  Baums  have  two 
lovely  children,  a  son,  Ahmiel,  and 
a  daughter,  Tamar.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Baum  only  recently  moved  to 
Charlotte  from  Houston,  Texas

B&P  Hadassah 

MISS   SHIRLEY  GOLDSTEIN, 
Correspondent 

The  Business  and  Professional 
Chapter  of  Hadassah  held  their 
opening  paid-up  membership  din- 
ner, Wednesday,  September  8th, 
at  Thalhimers,  Richmond  Room 
at  6:00  P.  M.  Our  guest  speaker 
for  the  evening  was  Mrs.  Myer 
Her/berg,  who  spoke  on  H..MO. 


A  community  of  ultra-orthodox 
Jews  living  in  Brooklyn  has  con- 
tracted to  buy  land  and  to  es- 
tablish a  village  in  New  Jersey 
where  its  members  can  live  and 
adhere  to  the  demands  of  its  strict 
religious  code.  Some  1,260  Jewish 
families  belonging  to  Congregation 
Yetev  Lev  D'Satmar,  made  their 
decision  to  move  en  masse  as  a 
result  of  the  construction  of  housing 
projects  in  the  Williamsburgh  sec- 
tion of  Brooklyn  which  would  have 
forced  many  of  the  congregants  to 
move.

Charles  Ellison,  who  founded  the 
Globe  Shoe  Store  at  279  King  St. 
in  1923  and  managed  it  until  1948, 
died  on  September  14th  at  his 
home. 

Mr.  Ellison  had  been  in  the  shoe 
business  in  Charleston  for  many 
years.  He  had  previously  been  as- 
sociated with  his  brother,  the  late 
Morris  Ellison,  in  the  operation 
of  Ellison's  Shoe  Store.  His  son 
Arnold,  who  now  lives  in  Miami, 
Fla.,  assumed  the  management  of 
Globe  in  1948,  and  Mr.  Ellison 
continued  in  an  advisory  capacity 
and  as  buyer. 

Mr.  Ellson  was  born  April  20, 
1892,  in  Charleston,  a  son  of  Ezek- 
iel  Ellison  and  Mrs.  Rachel  Crum 
Ellison.  He  was  a  member  of 
Brith  Sholom  —  Beth  Israel  Syna- 
gogue and  Emanu-El  Synagogue. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  B'nai 
Brith,  the  Hebrew  Benevolent  So- 
ciety and  the  Zionist  Organization. 

Surviving  are  his  widow,  Mrs. 
Estair  Boostin  Ellison;  two  sons, 
E.  Richard  Ellison  of  Atlanta,  Ga. 
and  Arnold  D.  Ellison  of  Miami, 
Fla.;  three  brothers,  Aleck  Elli- 
son of  Charleston,  Moe  Ellison  of 
New  York,  and  Dan  Ellison  of 
Philadelphia,  and  three  grandchil- 
dren.

struction.  Hitler  was  an  admirer 
of  Wagner.  He  refused  Roosevelt's 
terms  for  unconditional  surrender, 
regardless  of  German  suffering 
and  loss  of  life.  It  was  more  Wag- 
nerian to  crush  the  Reich  into  a 
mighty  ruin  in  keeping  with  the 
Gotterdamerung,  the  twilight  of 
the  Gods. 

In  the  last  paragraph  of  Ju- 
daism in  Music,  Wagner  address- 
es the  Jews:  "But,  think  you  that 
one  thing  only  can  redeem  you 
from  the  burden  of  your  curse: 
the  redemption  of  Ahasuersu—  an- 
nihilation." Can  psychotic  hate  go 
further?  This  was  carried  out  by 
Hitler  in  Buchenwald  and  Tre- 
blinka,  in  Auschwitz  and  Maid- 
nnek,  in  Dachau  and  Bergen-  Bel- 
sen. 

How  can  Jewish  parents  lead 
their  sons  and  daughters  to  the 
marriage  canopy  in  the  synagogue 
to  the  crashing  rhythmic  chords  of 
Wagner's  Wedding  March?

The  Twentieth  Anniversary  °f 
World  War  II 

(Continued  From  Page  23) 


an  efficient  army  was  sacrificed 
for  the  "greater  good"  of  Europe. 

The  basic  philosophy  of  the 
Nazis  was  expressed  in  the  slogan 
"right  is  what  serves  the  German 
nation,  wrong  what  harms  it." 
They  thus  perverted  the  idea  of 
universal  right  and  justice  to 
mean  nothing  but  what  was  ex- 
pedient for  one  single  people. 
Since  they  believed  (or  pretended 
to  believe)  that  the  elimination 
of  their  Jewish  compatriots  (and 
later  of  all  Jews)  from  their  midst 
would  serve  the  purposes  of  Ger- 
many, there  was  nothing  to  pre- 
vent them  from  starting  to  paup- 
erize, degrade,  arrest,  torture  and 
expel  them  whenever  this  was  op- 
portune. The  initial  boycott  and 
discriminatory  legislation  was  ex- 
panded to  include  forced  transfer 
and  delivery  of  property,  pogroms, 
wholesale  arrest  and  confinement 
to  concentration  camps,  imposi- 
tion of  exorbitant  fines,  forced 
emigration  of  pauperized  persons 
etc.  Although  these  measures 
"shocked"  the  world  conscience, 
they  were  only  the  start  of  things 
(o  come  when  the  war  of  nerves 
became  a  shooting  war.  The  Ro- 
mans had  coined  a  dictum  "inter 
arma  tacent  leges"  (in  war  laws 
are  silent),  the  Nazis  "perfected" 
it  not  only  by  repudiating  the 
Hague  Convention,  which  pro- 
tected the  civilian  population  in 
occupied  countries  against  out- 
rages and  discrimination  and  to 
which  Germany  was  a  party,  but 
also  by  proclaiming  their  right  to 
pillage,  murder  and  annihilate  the 


"inferior"  races,  in  the  first  place 
the  Jews.  There  can  be  no  doubt 
that,  had  it  not  been  for  the  war, 
most  of  the  an ti- Jewish  measures 
outside  Germany  and  the  anni- 
hilation not  only  of  the  six  mil- 
lion Jews  but  even  of  those  in  the 
regions  which  were  or  would  have 
come  under  Nazi  domination  or 
influence  could  never  have  taken 
place.  It  could  become  reality 
only  under  the  smoke  screen  and 
the  stress  (on  other  nations)  of 
the  war,  probably  unleashed  in 
part  for  this  very  purpose.  This 
is  the  tragic  significance  of  the 
20th  anniversary  of  the  start  of 
the  last  war  from  the  Jewish  point

MRS.  BERNARD  LADEN,  Correspondent 

A  reception  in  honor  of  the  new    22nd,   at  Pinewood  Lake 


spiritual  leader  of  the  House  of 
Peace  Synagogue  was  given  on 
Sunday  evening,  August  30th,  in 
the  Social  Hall  of  the  shul.  In  the 
receiving  line  were  Rabbi  Abra- 
ham Herson  of  Miami,  Fla.,  his 
wife,  Bess,  and  daughter  Diane, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Leonard  Bogen,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  George  Gottlieb,  and 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ted  Solomon. 

Rabbi  Herson  is  a  native  of  Win- 
nipeg, Canada,  and  attended  the 
public  schools  of  that  city  and  of 
Chicago,  111.  He  is  a  graduate  of 
the  Hebrew  Theological  Seminary 
of  New  York  and  holds  a  doctorate 
degree  from  that  institution.  He  is 
the  son  of  the  late  Rabbi  Chiam 
Tsvi  Herson,  who  was  chief  rabbi 
of  Winnipeg  and  western  Canada, 
and  is  a  brother  of  Rabbi  David 
Herson  of  Miami. 

Before  his  five  years  service  to  a 
Miami  congregation,  Rabbi  Her- 
son had  served  for  nearly  nine  years 
in  Tyler  and  Waco,  Texas.  He  had 
been  an  active  Lion  in  Tyler,  serv- 
ing as  chaplain,  and  is  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  that  or- 
ganzation.  Also  while  in  Texas  he 
served  as  auxiliary  chaplain  at  the 
James  Connelly  Air  Force  Base 
and  at  the  Veterans  Administra- 
tion Hospital  in  Waco  . 

He  is  a  regular  contributor  to 
the  religious  page  of  the  Jewish 
Floridian,  a  weekly  Miami  news- 
paper, and  ha  ~  appeared  frequently 
on  radio  and  television  programs 
in  that  area.  Rabbi  Herson  is  a 
member  of  the  Greater  Miami 
Rabbinical  Association  and  is  a 
vice-presdent  of  the  Rabbinical 
Conference  of  America.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  B'nai  B'rith  organi- 
zation, Knights  of  Pythians  and 
Optimist  Club. 

Rabbi  Herson  has  received  a  ci- 
tation in  recognition  of  his  lecture 
tours  on  behalf  of  the  Zionist  Or- 
ganization of  America,  following 
his  trip  to  the  new  state  of  Israel. 

The  B'nai  Brith  Organization  of 
Columbia  held  a  gay  Western  Barn 
Dance  on  Saturday  evening,  August 


Eddie

dance  music  and  a  caller  for  the 
square  dancing. 

Hadassah  held  a  Hospitality  Tea 
for  prospective  new  members  at 
the  home  of  Mrs.  Ben  Arnold  on

membership  chairman,  and  Mrs. 
Sam  Riebman,  co-chairman,  help- 
ed make  the  affair  a  success.  Home-

members  and  to  honor  Mrs.  Abra-

The  Twentieth  Anniversary  of 
World  War  II 


(Continued  Fr 
of  view  in  particular.  From  the 
general  point  of  view  the  Second 
World  War  must  be  remembered 
for  the  unparalleled  losses  in  hu- 
man life,  estimated  at  over  26  mil- 
lion in  military,  and  almost  25 
million  in  civilian  deaths,  among 
them  6  million  Jews  (a  figure 
which  does  not  include  casualties 
among  the  over  1.4  million  Jews 
who  served  in  Allied  armies),  not 
to  speak  of  the  sufferings  of  those 
who  survived  the  holocaust  and 
the  cost  of  war  and  destruction, 
estimated  at  over  one  thousand 
billion  dollars. 

The  tragedy  of  the  First  World 
War,  with  what  seemed  at  the 
time  incredibly  high  casualties 
(almost  10  millions)  and  costs 
(nearly  300  billion  dollars)  in- 
spired many  to  a  repudiation  of 
war  as  expressed  in  the  slogan  "no 
more  war,  ever  again"  and  the 
creation  of  the  League  of  Nations 
—the  first  attempt  of  this  kind. 
Mankind's  tragedy  is  composed 
of  two  elements,  forgetfullness 
and  egotistic  policies  of  totalitarian 
nations,  willing  to  plunge  the 
world  into  new  wars  for  the  pur- 
pose of  their  own  expansion;  this 
eventually  resulted  in  the  Second 
World  War.  It  is  to  be  feared  that 
the  even  more  tragic  experiences 
of  that  war  may  not  deter  the  na- 
tions of  the  world  from  policies 
which  may  lead  to  a  third  world 
war,  which,  both  in  human  sacri- 
fice and  destruction,  will  un- 
doubtedly greatly  surpass  the  last 
war.  The  casualties  of  nuclear 
bombs,  each  of  which  probably 
exceeds  the  destructive  power  of 
all  the  bombs  thrown  by  both 
sides  in  the  Second  World  War 
during  its  entire  duration,  and 
the  biological  and  (more  humane) 
chemcial  warfare  will,  no  doubt, 
within  a  few  davs  dwarf  those  of 
the  last  war,  which  lasted  over 
five  years. 

It  was  with  this  in  mind  and 
having  regard  to  the  Jewsh  catas- 
trophe that  the  General  Assembly 


om  P?ge  47) 

of  the  World  Jewish  Congress, 
just  concluded  in  Stockholm,  ap- 
plied to  the  nations  of  the  world 
to  seek  all  measures  to  end  the 
present  cold  war  and  the  existing 
tension  in  the  world.  It  is  the 
duty  of  every  responsible  states- 
man, organization  and  citizen  not 
to  let  humanity  forget  the  calam- 
ity a  new  war  will  bring  with  it 
and  to  work  for  peace  and  secur- 
ity for  all.  There  is  nothing  in  the 
world  that  firmness  toward  would- 
be  aggressors,  cooperation  between 
peace-loving  nations,  realistic  ap- 
preciation of  the  proclaimed  or 
known  intentions  of  would-be 
violators  of  peace,  vigilance,  dedi- 
cation to  peace  and  good  will  can- 
not achieve,  and  that  includes 
peace  in  our  generation. 


An  Orthodox  Jew  who  refuses

vision of  Employment  Security.

The  Strange  Case  of  Joseph  Smith

one  of  them  abandoned  by  her  hus- 
band, he  described  his  wife  in  1821 
as  "now  nearly  helpless"  at  the  age 
of  about  fifty-three.  He  had  been, 
by  his  own  testimony,  a  manufac- 
turer of  "black  balls  (shoe  black- 
ing) on  an  extensive  scale  by  which 
and  other  small  trade  had  support- 
ed myself  and  family  with  a  com- 
fortable home  until,  in  conse- 
quence of  becoming  bondsman  for 
another,"  he  had  had  his  "house, 
furniture,  and  property  of  every 
kind  seized  and  sold,  leaving  me  in 
such  a  state  of  penury  as  to  be  ab- 
solutely unable  to  support  myself 
or  family  without  the  benefit  of 
my  Revolutionary  pension,  or  from 
private  or  public  charity."  The  un- 
fortunate Pollock  tesitfied  in  1821 
that  all  his  property  came  in  value 
to  no  more  than  $20,  while  he  suf-

ly  observed  by  nuns  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  church.  Toward  observing 
the  same  idea  of  modesty  that's  in 
the  sheitel,  the  nuns  shave  their 
heads  and  cover  them  up  under 
the  black  hood. 

So,  having  studied  the  history  of 
the  sheitel,  I  went  back  on  to  the 
current  issue:  that  sheitel  which 
will  be  covering  the  head  of  the 
beautiful  New  York  girl  when  she 
cuts  off  her  lovely  tresses.  What 
for  me  to  do  about  that?  What  to 
say  to  that  indignant  hair-dresser 
who  is  demanding  that  I  go  with 
her  on  a  campaign  against  the 
revival  of  sheitels. 

I  asked  my  wife  who  all  her 
days  has  worn  only  her  own  hair 
which  she  keeps  cultivated  in  the 
beauty  shop  .  .  .  'What  do  you 
say,"  I  inquired  of  her.  "What  shall 
I  do?" 

All  she  would  answer  was:  "Don't 
be  such  a  fool."

fered  "from  a  rupture  occasioned 
by  hardships  and  colds  experienced 
while  in  the  army  of  the  U.  S.  and 
from  a  bayonet  wound  received  at 
the  battle"  of  Camden. 

Why  Pollock  —  who  was  able  ap- 
parently to  sign  his  name  only  in 
Hebrew  letters  —  had  seen  fit  to 
enlist  in  the  army  as  "Joseph 
Smith"  is  nowhere  explained  in  the 
available  documents,  nor  does  the 
Government  seem  to  have  found 
his  action  questionable.  His  as- 
sumption of  an  alias  and  his  sub- 
sequent abandonment  of  it  in  favor 
of  his  true  name  are  reported  quite 
casually  in  the  governmental  rec- 
ords. But  why  did  he  do  it? 

Had  he  feared  anti- Jewish  preju- 
dice in  the  army  and  thus  sought 
to  conceal  his  Jewish  identity?  Cer- 
tainly this  is  possible,  although  Dr. 
Marcus  has  written  that  such  anti- 
Jewish  prejudices  as  abtained  in 
Revolutionary  America  "were  not 
crushing  or  keenly  felt."  According 
to  Dr.  Marcus,  "on  the  whole,  the 
early  American  Jew  was  accepted 
by  his  neighbors." 

Or  had  Pollock  been  born 
abroad,  and  was  it  this  he  wished 
to  conceal?  But  foreigners  were 
hardly  resented  in  America;  for- 
eigners who  had  flocked  here  to

Rabbi  and  Mrs.  Max  Stauber  an- 
nounced the  engagement  of  their 
daughter,  Naomi  Miriam,  to  Mr. 
Jay  Elliott  Finke  with  a  very  lovely 
Oneg  Shabbat  on  Friday  night, 
September  4.  The  couple  plans  to 
be  married  in  June. 

The  House  Committee  started 
the  season  with  a  bang-up  card  par- 
ty affair  on  August  30th.  Big  plans 
are  in  store  for  New  Year's  Eve. 

Due  to  the  hospitality  of  Mrs. 
Abe  Smith,  the  Young  Judeans  had 
a  terrific  party  at  the  Smith's  pool 
on  August  26.  There  were  swim- 
ming, games,  and  a  picnic  supper 
was  served. 

Everyone  is  still  talking  about 
Aliyah  Night  and  their  honors  for 


the  High  Holy  Days.  A  party  was 
held  on  September  16  prior  to  the 
sale  of  the  Aliyahs.  Refreshmnts 
and  "Schnaps"  were  served,  get- 
ting everyone  in  the  right  mood! 
The  ladies  who  helped  serve  were 
Mrs.   Earl    (Thelma)  Yoffe,  Mrs. 

Joel  (Rose)  Tanenbaum,  Mrs. 
Harry  (Pearl)  Tanenbaum,  Mrs.

A  farewll  party  was  given  in  hon- 
or of  Mrs.  Pearl  Bernstein  on  Sep- 
tember 1st  at  the  Center.  She  is

Eva  and  Jewish  Identity 


(Continued  F 

Europe  who  walks  in  the  world 
today  is  an  unbelievable  story. 
Curiously,  this  makes  for  a  certain 
typicality  in  Eva's  sequence  of  ad- 
ventures. 

For  the  American  reader,  I  hope 
that  Eva  will  prove  typical  in  an- 
other way.  She  is  the  typical  Jewish 
girl  of  the  little  town  in  the  shtetel 
that  nurtured  so  many  of  our  fami- 
lies —  the  bright,  flirtatious  daugh- 
ter of  a  storekeeper,  the  'modern' 
girl  of  her  circle.  She  had  uncles, 
cousins  in  America,  just  as  so  many 
of  us  had  cousins  and  uncles  who 
remained  in  the  Jewish  communi- 
ties of  Poland,  Hungary,  Rumania. 
By  a  flick  of  circumstance,  she 
might  so  easily  have  been  a  Hadas- 
sah  member  in  Lake  Forest,  Illi- 
nois. 

Could  there  have  been  Evas 
among  our  own  kin?  Doubtless 
this  same  energy,  this  same  per- 
sistent goodness  of  heart,  would 
have  saved  one  out  of  ten  among 
our  families,  too. 

And  in  Eva's  story  there  is  an- 
other element  that  was  of  utmost 
importance  to  me.  Eva  found  it 
hardest  to  exert  herself  to  survive 
when  she  was  alone.  Only  when 
she  was  also  helping  to  save  some- 
one else,  one  of  the  series  of  close 
friends  with  whom  she  joined 
forces  in  each  stage  of  her  adven- 


rom  Pag?  21) 

ture  —  only  then  did  her  life-urge 
emerge  at  its  most  powerful. 

I  wrote  this  story  in  the  hope 
that  it  would  clarify,  in  the  dra- 
matic terms  of  a  single  human  life, 
what  it  means  to  be  a  Jew.  I  have 
taken  part  in  this  fascinating  and 
endless  debate  through  almost  the 
entire  body  of  my  writing.  I  tried 
to  fill  out  my  own  definition  in 
my  autobiography,  In  Search.  I  felt 
the  meaning  to  be  expressed  in 
Eva's  life  because  it  is  expressed  in 
actions,  in  life-decisions  taken  out 
of  absolute  necessity. 

The  definition  in  terms  of  form- 
al Jewish  religion  is  for  Eve,  as  for 
most  of  her  generation,  quite 
vague.  The  definition  in  terms  of 
"Jewish  nationalism"  is  virtually 
beside  the  point,  for  Eva.  She  be- 
longed, in  a  social  way,  to  a  Zionist 
youth  group  in  her  home  town,  but 
she  was  no  militant  ideologist.  Eva 
is  simply  a  Jew  by  virtue  of  the  very

It  has  recently  been  revealed  that  Meyer  Levins  new  novel,  Eva,  is 
based  on  H  e  true  adventures  of  a  girl  who  escaped  from  Germany  during 
the  war.  The  heroine  of  the  novel,  Mrs.  Ida  Lev,  is  now  a  house-wife  in 
Israel.  She  is  shown  here  talking  wit  i  the  author. 


right  of  existence,  the  right  to  have 
a  continuing  identity  in  the  world. 
Without  it  Jew,  Hungarian,  Bantu 
—the  individual  is  lost. 

But  Eva  is  not  a  polemic  novel. 
It  is  the  story  of  a  young  woman's 
life,  of  the  persistence  of  the  need 
lor  love  even  for  laughter,  in  the 
most  difficult  of  circumstances,  and 
of  the  human  ability  to  soften 
them.  It  is  the  essential  human 
story  that  every  novelist  feels  lucky 
to  find. 

I  wrote  EVA  as  a  culmination 
of  fifteen  years  of  trying  to  under- 
stand and  explain  what  had  hap- 
pened to  the  Jews  of  Europe.  I 
wrote  this  book  to  celebrate  life 
itself,  the  immeasurable  survival 
force  that  is  the  God-urge  in 
humanity,  and  that  has  been  ex- 
emplified so  continuously  in  the 
Jewish  people. 

As  a  story  of  survival  it  had 
to  be  the  story  of  a  woman. 

And  this  story  had  to  contain 
all  that  I  have  learned  since  I 
went  to  Europe  as  a  war  corres- 
pondent in  1944,  to  find  out  the 
fate  of  the  Jews. 

It  was  my  sad  distinction  to  be 
the  one  writer  bearing  this  assign- 
ment. Today,  fifteen  years  later,  I 
am  still  trying  to  fulfill  it.  Many 


fine  works  have  appeared  on  the 
subject,  but  so  vast  was  this  human 
experience,  and  so  frightening,  that 
it  is  only  now  coming  to  be  widely 
comprehended. 

It  was  still  necessary  to  show 
how,  in  the  terms  of  a  single  in- 
dividual, the  catastrophe  could  be 
lived  through,  at  times  even  with 
friendship  and  love  and  humor. 

I  hope  everyone  loves  Eva.

Reflections  On  The  American  Scene 


(Continued 

triumph  in  creating  a  national  per- 
sonality which  seeks  the  enrichment 
of  varied  cultural  sources. 

The  third  is  your  belief  in  the 
affirmative  qualities  of  technology 
and  science  —  your  conviction  that 
the  true  expression  of  the  scientific 
age  lies  in  its  response  to  the 
compassions  and  utilities  of  man- 
kind. 

There  is  one  feature  of  American 
life  about  which  neither  de  Toc- 
queville  nor  Bryce  said  a  word. 
Neither  of  them  spoke  of  the  Amer- 
ican Jewish  community.  You  would 
hardly  expect  of  a  similar  reticence 
in  me.  American  Jewry  has  stood 
in  the  very  center  of  my  experience. 

American  Jews,  more  than  others, 
have  seen  the  true  quality  of  our 
enterprises.  They  have  understood 
that  Israel  is  not  a  small  nation. 
A  nation  can  be  small  in  geography 
but  very  great  in  history.  Ancient 
Israel  was  surrounded  by  empires 
which  exceeded  her  in  material 
wealth,  in  military  power  and  in 
the  sophistication  and  refinement 
of  their  arts.  But  all  of  these 
empires  crumbled  into  ruin  and 
oblivion,  while  this  small  people 
of  shepherds  and  farmers  became 
the  first  to  see  the  vision  of  a 
united  creation;  to  become  aware 
of  invisible  forces  at  work  upon  the 
human  scene;  to  rebel  against  the 
apathy,  determinism  and  resigna- 
tion of  all  other  civilizations;  to 
proclaim  that  history  has  meaning, 
that  the  human  journey  has  a  di- 
rection and  that  its  sign-posts  point 
forever  forward  and  upward. 

From  the  moment  that  the  peo- 
ple of  Israel  first  comes  within 
view,  history  is  face  to  face  with 
a  people  of  intensive  genius,  touch- 
ed by  a  rich  and  joyous  vision  of 
human  destiny. 

American  Jews,  more  than  other 
Americans,  are  aware  of  these  ele- 
ments of  past  history.  They  have 
been  able  to  look  upon  Israel  with 
a  true  eye  of  historic  comparison. 
Israel  owes  American  Jewry  a  simi- 
lar benevolence  of  appraisal. 

I  believe  in  the  survival  of  Amer- 
ican Jewry.  I  believe  in  its  organic 
membership  in  the  pattern  of 
American  civilization.  My  percep- 
tion leads  me  to  the  conclusion 


from  Page  6) 

that  American  Jewry  is  not  some- 
thing grafted  onto  the  existing 
structure  of  an  American  nation, 
but  is  simultaneous  with  its  birth 
and  growth,  and  totally  inseparable 
from  its  destiny. 

The  founders  of  our  own  nation- 
al movement  constructed  an  ideo- 
logy which  was  based  on  a  somber 
but  accurate  diagnosis  of  the  un- 
tenability  of  Jewish  life  in  Europe. 
Who  can  look  upon  our  six  million 
graves  and  say  they  were  wrong? 
But  this  was  a  prophecy  of  Europe. 
Our  founding  fathers  had  no  ideol- 
ogy about  American  Jewry,  for  it 
did  not  come  across  the  horizons 
of  their  experience  and  perception. 

I  do  not  believe  that  the  concept 
of  every  Jewish  community  outside 
Israel  passing  inexorably  to  doom 
or  decline  can  be  the  basis  of  a 
covenant  of  trust  between  Israel 
and  the  Jewish  people.  Inevitable 
anti-Semitism  is  no  longer  the  basic 
promise  of  Israel's  hopes  of  ad- 
vancement. 

I  believe  that  we  must  look  for 
a  partnership  based  on  a  more 
equal  and  more  affirmative  con- 
cept: we  and  our  children  will  live 
in  a  world  in  which  a  growing

The  American  Jewish  TIMES-OUTLOOK 


Israel  will  live  side  by  side  with 
an  American  Jewish  community 
which  will  also  grow  forever  strong- 
er, not  only  in  its  inherent  vigor, 
but  also  in  the  resilience  and  vital- 
ity of  its  Jewish  consciousness  and 
institutions. 

The  florescence  of  American 
Jewish  institutions  is  not  something 
alien  to  Israel's  destiny.  Assistance 
for  Israel  will  not  emerge  from  an 
American  Jewish  community  which 
shows  debility  in  its  autonomous 
Jewish  life  or  weakness  and  fragil- 
ity in  its  culture. 

I  have  not  hesitated  to  tell  my 
fellow  citizens  that  Israel  has  no 
cause  whatever  to  look  at  American 
Jewry  with  reproach  because  you 
presume  to  exist  outside  the  frame- 
work of  our  statehood.  Still  less 
do  I  think  we  should  surround  you 
with  predictions  of  your  inevitable 
extinction. 

I  cannot  imagine  any  circum- 
stances in  which  weakness  and  dis- 
aster could  come  to  American 
Jewry,  without  weakness  and  dis- 
aster coming  to  Israel  as  well.  This, 
I  think,  is  the  covenant  we  have 
with  each  other— mutual  and  paral- 
lel growth  and  strength,  together 
with  the  establishment  of  bridges 
of  interaction  and  fraternal  senti- 
ment. 

My  only  thought  for  American 
Jews,  therefore,  is  one  of  fervent 
prayer  for  their  continued  welfare, 
lor  the  deepening  of  their  harmon- 
ious relations  with  all  their  fellow 
citizens,  within  the  framework  of 
their  common  American  civiliza- 
tion. 

I  have  thought  of  you  much  in 
these  eleven  years.  I  know  that  who- 
ever speaks  for  Israel  holds  a  col- 
lective Jewish  prestige  and  trust 
within  his  hands.  For  what  is  mod- 


ern Israel  except  the  expression  of 
a  universal  Jewish  prestige?  I  have 
never  ascended  the  rostrum  of  na- 
tions without  echoing  the  prayer 
so  appropriate  for  the  envoys  of 
our  people:  "Eternal  God,  safe- 
guard my  tongue  from  error."  For 
on  the  consequences  of  this  error 
might  hang  the  trust  and  the  fate 
of  history's  most  anguished  people. 

I  take  away  with  me  as  my 
proudest  conviction— I  pray  that  it 
be  a  just  conviction— that  you,  the 
Jews  of  America,  and  I  have  under- 
stood each  other  very  deeply. 

In  gratitude,  therefore,  in  affec- 
tion—in memory  everlasting— I  bid 
you  farewell.

lacks  the  learning  and  desire  to  de- 
velop into  a  major  Jewish  center, 
on  a  level  with  Eastern  Europe,  or 
Spain,  or  Babylonia. 

Some  persons  have  gone  so  far  as 
to  urge  strongly,  either  that  Ameri- 
can Jews  adapt  themselves  to,  and 
adopt  wholesale  the  culture  of  the 
State  of  Israel,  or  better  still,  that 
they  move  wholesale  to  Israel. 

Attitude  Wrong 

By  what  right  does  anyone  take 
such  an  attitude  toward  the  pres- 
ent generation  of  American  Jews? 
Certainly  there  is  nothing  in  his- 
tory to  justify  this  extreme  demand 
and  distorted  prospective! 

Forgotten  is  the  fact  that  the 
mass  immigration  ol  Jews  into 
America  did  not  begin  until  about 
60  years  ago.  The  American  Jew- 
ish community  is  really  only  two 
or  three  generations  old. 

What  did  the  United  States  at 
large  amount  to  culturally  during 
the  first  sixty,  and  twice  sixty  years 
of  its  existence?  And  what  a  pessi- 
mistic picture  would  have  been 
painted  by  our  current  prophets  of 
doom,  or  Babylonian  Judaism  after 
only  sixty  or  one  hundred  or  more 
years  of  existence,  or  of  the  Jews 
of  Spain,  or  of  Eastern  Europe! 

There  is  the  question  of  quality, 
the  substance,  of  American  Jewish 
culture.  Once  again,  much  that 
Jewish  history  is  capable  and  eager 
to  teach  us  is  disregarded.  Every 
one  knows  that  the  culture,  the  re- 
ligion, the  laws,  the  prayers,  the  lit- 
erature of  the  Jews  in  Biblical 
times  in  Israel  and  Judah  were  not 
all  the  same  as  those  which  the 
Jews  of  Babylonia  created,  and  by 
which  they  lived. 

Culture  Not  the  Same 
And  apart  from  the  Babylonian 
Gemara,  which    they    adapted  to 
their  own  needs,  the  Jews  of  Spain 


and  the  Province  developed  a  cul- 
ture which  was  quite  different  from 
that  of  their  Babylonian  Jewish 
predecessors. 

The  gap  is  even  greater  between 
the  kind  of  culture  which  was  cre- 
ated by  the  Jews  of  Spain  and  that 
which  characterized  the  civilization 
of  the  Eastern  European  Jews. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  Jews  of 
Eastern  Europe  did  not  produce 
any  such  great  literary  masterpieces 
which  characterized  the  Golden 
Era  in  Spain,  the  travel  literature, 
the  chronicles,  the  ethical  works, 
not  to  speak  of  the  philosophical 
works. 

Even  the  great  mystical  Kabbal- 
istic  works,,  such  as  the  Zohar,  are 
essentially  Judeo-Spanish  products. 

The  Jews  of  Poland,  Lithuania 
and  Russia,  on  the  other  hand, 
lived  and  organized  the  kind  of 
daily  Jewish  life,  the  likes  of  which 
neither  the  Jews  nor  the  world  at 
large  ever  knew  before,  or  will, 
in  all  likelihood,  ever  know  again. 

Theirs  was  essentially  a  Jewish 
life  all  twenty-four  hours  of  the 
day.  Their  piety,  their  devotion  to 
the  commandments  of  Jewish  law, 
their  immersion  in  learning,  the 
study  of  the  Talmud  —  all  these 
set  the  Jews  of  Eastern  Europe 
apart  from  all  other  Jewries  and 
peoples. 

Never  in  the  history  of  mankind 
was  so  large  a  proportion  of  the 
population  able  to  read  and  write. 
Our  own  United  States,  or  England, 
or  Canada,  has  not  yet  achieved 
the  state  of  literacy  that  our  fathers 
and  grandfathers  achieved  and 
practiced  in  Eastern  and  Central 
Europe. 

The  competent  historian  does 
not  judge  the  relative  merits  and 
values  of  the  biblical,  Babylonian, 
Spanish  and  European  Jewish  cul- 
tures. His  task  is  to  describe  them

and  to  account  for  them,  for  their 
points  of  agreement  and  of  dis- 
agreement. He  must  identify  the 
elements  which  are  common  to 
them  all,  the  features  which  mark 
the  cultures  of  these  different 
centers  in  time  and  space  as  Jew- 
ish, the  ingredients  which  go  to 
make  up  the  continuum,  in  Jewish 
history. 

Don't  Underestimate  Us 

In  this  light,  it  is  false  and 
harmful  to  underestimate,  and  well 
in  advance  at  that,  the  kind  of 
culture  which  the  Jews  of  America 
have  been,  and  will  in  the  future 
be  creating. 

There  is  not  the  remotest  pos- 
sibility that  our  culture,  and  the 
culture  of  our  children,  can  or  will 
be  the  same  as  that  of  our  fathers 
in  Europe.  We  live  under  entirely 
different  social  conditions. 

American  Jewry  is  maturing.  It 
is  developing  concepts  and  institu- 
tions and  qualities  that  are  distinc- 
tively its  own.  Thus  it  is  now  a 
commonplace  that  one  of  the 
unique  features  of  American  Jew- 
ish life  is  the  Jewish  Community 
Center,  a  phenomenon  not  readily 
discerned  in  Jewish  history  prev- 
iously. 

Or  take  the  field  of  Jewish 
education.  The  earlier,  purely 
secular  tendency  of  many  Yiddish 
schools  has  given  way  to  a  more 
sympathetic  approach  and  appre- 
ciation of  the  Jewish  past.

The  Reform  movement  in  Amer- 
ica, which  once  contented  itself 
with  a  one-day  Sunday  school,  now 
increasingly  supports  a  minimum 
of  three  days  a  week  of  Hebrew 
school  for  its  children  and  youth, 
in  addition  to  adult  Jewish  educa- 
tion. 

The  growth  of  the  all-day  schools 
is  further  evidence  that  a  number 
of  parents  want  a  maximum  Jew- 
ish education  for  their  children, 
alongside  the  regular  public  school 
education. 

Responsive  American  Jew 

All  these  are  reflections  of  a 
healthy,  growing  Jewish  life  in 
America,  and— no  less  important— 
they  indicate  that  far  from  being 
a  fossil  of  an  extinct  civilization, 
the  American  Jew,  democratically 
and  Jewishly  educated  and  minded, 
is  responding  vibrantly  to  the  chal- 
lenging stimuli  of  the  American 
scene.  This  means  that  the  need 
for  educators  and  teachers  is  be- 
coming increasingly  urgent. 

And  the  same,  at  long  last,  now 
holds  true  also  in  the  area  of 
Jewish  scholarship.

by    BILL  ROAMER 


The   newest   and   largest   resort  motel  in 
Miami  is  the  APACHE,  a  truly  wonderful  spot. 
All  the  luxury  of  an  ocean-front  hotel.  It  features 
an    O'ympic    swimming  pool, 
a  putting  green,  a  kiddy  play- 
land,    and    an  exotic  cocktail 
lounge  with  nightly  entertain- 
ment. Accommodations  are  su- 
perb,  rooms   individually  air- 
conditioned,  and  the  rates  are 
right.  I  heartily  recommend  the

as  now,  and  this  need  will  continue 
to  grow  greater.  The  existing  high- 
er Jewish  institutions  of  learning 
—  Dropsie  College,  Hebrew  Union 
College  —  Jewish  Institute  of  Relig- 
ion, Jewish  Theological  Seminary, 
Yeshiva  College  and  University, 
Brandeis  University,  the  several 
Hebrew  colleges  in  Boston,  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Baltimore, 
Chicago,  and  elsewhere  —  are  in 
constant  need  of  younger  men  to 
replace  the  older  men  on  their 
faculties. 

Even  more,  several  secular  uni- 
versities are  opening  departments 
of  Hebraic,  Judaic,  and  Semitic 
Studies,  and  Jewish  scholars  are 
filling  the  posts.  I  have  in  mind 
New  York  University,  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, Wayne  State  University, 
University  of  Wisconsin,  University 
of  Kentucky,  and  University  of 
California. 

We  here  can  no  longer  depend 
on  European  Yeshivot  and  Gym- 
nasiums and  universities  to  produce 
our  Jewish  scholars;  neither  can 
Israel  fill  the  gap.  We  must  educate 
our  Jewish  scholars  ourselves.  There 
is  indeed  a  great  future  for  Judaism, 
and  for  Jewish  educators  and  schol- 
ars in  America. 

The  National  Jewish  Welfare 
Board,  along  with  such  other  na 
tional  non-political,  non-sectarian 
Jewish  organizations  as  B'nai  B'rith, 
Hadassah  and  Jewish  Publication 
Society,  has  before  it  a  remarkable 
opportunity,  in  fact,  a  duty  and  a 
task  that  it  should  be  proud  and 
eager  to  embark  on,  namely,  to 
take  active  part  in  deepening  and 
extending  the  specifically  Jewish 
culture  that  has  already  begun  to 
develop  before  our  very  eyes. 

This  is  No  Platitude 

This  is  no  platitude,  no  cliche. 
As  Americans  and  as  Jews,  we 
stand  on  the  threshold  of  what 
will  come  to  be  known  in  Jewish 
history  as  the  American  and  Is- 
raeli Epoch. 

We  and  our  descendants  will 
derive  the  benefits  from  this  deve- 
lopment in  proportion  to  the  part 
that  we  actively  play  in  it. 

The  lives  of  our  children  and 
children's  children  will  be  much 
better  integrated  as  Jews  and  as 


Americans  than  any  preceding 
generation. 

In  accepting  your  award  for  dis- 
tinguished contribution  to  the  deve- 
lopment of  American  Jewish  cul- 
ture, may  the  day  come  very  soon, 
as  it  will,  when  American  Jewish 
culture  will  have  real  identity  and 
substance,  and  the  National  Jewish 
Welfare  Board  will  be  able  to 
point  to  itself  with  pride  as  one 
of  the  notable  factors  in  that 
achievement. 


The  Strange  Case  ol 
Joseph  Smith 

(Concluded  from  Page  51) 

support  the  American  cause— Kos- 
ciusko, the  Marquis  de  Lafayette, 
General  von  Steuben,  among  oth- 
ers—had seen  to  that. 

Had  Pollock  been  trying  to  es- 
cape debts  contracted  in  civilian 
life?  One  wonders  then  why  he  re- 
sumed his  true  identity  after  the 
war  -  or,  if  this  is  what  motivated 
him,  had  his  creditors  meanwhile 
died  heirless? 

Whatever  it  was  that  prompted 
this  early  American  Jew  to  seek  the 
obscurity  of  a  name  like  "John 
Smith"  during  his  soldiering  years 
and  then  to  become  Elias  Pollock 
again  in  civilian  life,  it  has  defied 
historical  inquiry.  It  remains  a  mys- 
tery, one  of  the  numerous  curiosi- 
ties of  the  American  Jewish  past  to 
be  found  in  the  files  of  the  Ameri- 
can Jewish  Archives  on  the  Cin- 
cinnati campus  of  the  Hebrew 
Union-College  Jewish  Institute  of 
Religion.

Murder  In  A 
Chocolate  Box 

(Continued  from  Page  10) 
ta]  clear,  but  it  took  eight  months 
before  the  judge  found  them  guil- 
>y.  In  Israel  the  death  sentence 
for  murder  has  been  abolished. 
They  were  sentenced  to  imprison- 
ment for  life  and  told  that  they 
had  a  right  to  appeal.  Esther  then 
opened  her  mouth  for  the  first 
time  during  the  trial  and  what 
she  said  was:  "I  hope  the  appeal 
will  come  on  quicker  than  the 
case." 

The  appeal  was  heard  in  the 
Supreme  Court  and  the  lawyer 
for  Saleh  argued  that  he  could 
not  be  found  guiltv  of  murder  be- 
cause all  he  had  done  was  to 
prepare  the  box  that  contained 
the  bomb-that  act  was  so  distant 
from  the  murder,  that  he  was  not 
responsible  for  the  fatal  effects- 
and  he  read  out  cases  from  Eng- 
land, from  the  United  States,  from 
Israel.  But  these  learned  argu- 
ments did  not  help  him.  The 
sentence  of  life  imprisonment  was 
upheld. 

The  lawyer  for  the  girl  took 
quite  a  different  line.  He  did  not 
say  the  girl  was  mad.  but  he  read 
reports  of  psychiatrists  which  said 
she  was  infantile.  He  said  that  if 
she  were  not  mad  she  was  psychotic 
and  if  she  were  not  psvchotic  she 
was  subject  to  irresistible  impulses. 
The  three  judges  listened  for  two 
long  days  to  this  ingenitous  de- 
defense.  Esher  Barazani  sat  in  the 
dock,  next  to  a  policewoman, 
listening  and  looking  not  a  little

testimonial  dinner  given  in  his  home 
city  of  New  Orleans,  September  26 
by  the  National  Executive  Committee 
cf  the  Anti-Defamation  League  of

the  Committee's  annuil  meeting.

lor  long.  They  came  back  with 
the  same  verdict:  murder.  And 
unless,  after  some  years,  the  Presi- 
dent pardons  them,  Esther  and 
Saleh  will  spend  the  rest  of  their 
Jives  in  prison.  But  they  will  go 
down  in  the  history  of  Israeli

Fttting  Retribution 

For  those  of  us  to  whom  the  memory  of  the  Hitler  holocaust 
is  still  a  poignant  ache,  any  news  that  would  seem  to  be  in  the 
nature  of  retribution  is  welcome  news. 

Such  an  item  comes  in  the  report  of  the  opening,  in  the 
latter  part  of  September,  of  a  new  Jewish  Community  Center 
in  the  city  of  Berlin. 

The  site  of  this  new,  ultra-modern  edifice  is  the  very  one 
on  which  stood  Berlin's  most  prominent  old  synagogue  before 
it  was  made  a  mass  of  ruins  by  Nazi  vandals  in  1938. 

Heinz  Galinsky,  leader  of  the  small  Berlin  Jewish  com- 
munity, referred  to  the  new  building  as  "a  monument  to  the 
many  innocent  victims  of  Nazi  persecution."  Said  Mr.  Galinsky. 
"The  building  on  these  blood-drenched  grounds  is  a  document 
of  a  new  spirit  in  Germany." 

We  are  certain  that  all  of  us  echo  the  sentiments  expressed 
by  Berlin's  mayor,  Willy  Brandt,  to  Mr.  Galinsky,  when  he 
presented  the  silver  key,  symbolic  of  the  opening,  at  the  dedi- 
cation ceremonies.  The  mayor  said,  "This  is  a  good  day  in  the 
life  of  our  city.  Let  us  hope  this  building  will  become  a  symbol 
of  tolerance." 

Interesting  Statistics 

The  United  States  Bureau  of  Population  Census  has  com- 
pleted a  survey  in  which  the  question,  "What  is  your  religion?" 
was  asked  of  35,000  householders  in  638  counties  and  cities  of 
the  country. 

An  abstract  of  this  survey  relating  to  Jews  has  been  made 
by  the  Union  of  American  Hebrew  Congregations.  It  reveals 
many  interesting  statistics.  Those  which  we  believe  will  be 
of  greatest  interest  to  our  readers  are  the  following: 

8  per  cent  of  the  Jews  in  the  country  live  in  the  south. 
This  contrasts  with  31  per  cent  of  the  total  population.  It  is  in 
sharp  contradiction  to  the  percentage  of  Jews  to  total  popu- 
lation in  our  area,  where  the  figure  runs,  in  many  communities, 
from  less  than  1  per  cent  to  not  more  than  3  per  cent. 

There  are  98,000  mixed  marriages  involving  Jews— 7  per 
-ent  as  against  22  per  cent  involving  Protestants  and  Catholics. 

In  mixed  marriages,  more  than  twice  as  many  raise  their 
children  in  the  religion  of  the  father  than  in  the  religion 
of  the  mother.  This  is  important  in  our  situation,  inasmuch 
as,  in  the  vast  majority  of  cases  of  mixed  marriages,  the  man 
is  the  Jew. 

Jews  are  over-represented  in  the  age  groups  over  44  years, 
and  under-represented  in  all  others. 

There  are  other  findings  of  perhaps  less  interest  to  us, 
yet  warranting  mention.  For  example:  Jews  are  declining  in 
absolute  numbers  and  relative  to  the  total  population,  and 
this  trend  appears  likely  to  continue  into  the  foreseeable 
future.    Catholics  and  Protestants,    particularly  the  former, 


are  gaining  population  rapidly.  And  another:  96  per  cent  of 
the  Jews  live  in  urban  areas;  only  64  per  cent  of  the  nation 
as  a  whole  does. 

While  these  statistics  are  unquestionably  authentic,  they 
may  not  coincide  with  our  individual  observation.  They  re- 
flect, of  course,  a  cross-section. 

To  our  way  of  thinking  the  figure  that  should  give  us  the 
greatest  concern  is  the  7  per  cent  representing  intermarriages 
involving  Jews.  How  serious  this  is  depends  on  the  individual 
viewpoint.  For  those  who  do  consider  it  important,  the  prob- 
lem becomes,  "What  can  be  done  about  it." 

Here  surely,  is  something  of  a  challenge  for  our  leaders 
and  thinkers.  We  would  be  happy  to  have  some  suggestions^ 


A  Conqueror  of  the  Negev 

For  hundreds  of  years,  Israel's  Negev  region  was  just  a 
blank  on  every  Biblical  map.  The  highest  authorities  believed 
that  the  southern  half  of  Israel  had  been  uninhabitable  during, 
most  of  history.  Now,  through  the  explorations  of  Dr.  Nelson 
Glueck,  president  of  Hebrew  Union  College— Jewish  Institute 
of  Religion  and  famed  Biblical  archaeologist,  the  map  is  being 
filled  in  and  the  historians  refuted.  In  a  thrilling  new  book, 
Rivers  in  the  Desert  (Farrar,  Straus  &  Cuday,  New  York,)- 
which  literally  makes  the  reader  see,  hear,  and  even  smell  the 
forces  of  history  at  work,  Dr.  Glueck  recounts  his  discoveries. 

Dr.  Glueck,  discoverer  of  King  Solomon's  copper  mines 
and  seaport  and  veteran  of  three  decades  of  archaeological 
study  in  the  Holy  Land,  made  his  discoveries  in  seven  seasons 
of  intensive  square-mile-by  square-mile  exploration  of  the 
Negev.  His  book  makes  fascinating,  dramatic  reading— as  in- 
teresting to  the  uninformed  layman  as  to  the  specialist.  Bible 
stories  come  to  vivid,  meaningful  life  as  he  relates  how,  using 
Scripture  as  a  guide,  he  traced  part  of  the  route  of  Exodus; 
discovered  the  tracks  that  Abraham  and  his  retinue  followed 
on  their  journey  from  Canaan  to  Egypt  and  back,  and  charted 
the  route  followed  by  the  caravans  of  the  Queen  of  Sheba  on 
the  trip  from  her  kingdom  in  Arabia  to  the  mountain  throne 
of  Solomon  in  Jerusalem.  Reading  history  in  pottery  fragments, 
he  located  Judaean  kingdom  villages  and  lortresses.  dating 
from  the  time  of  Solomon  to  the  6th  century  B.C.  when  Judah 
was  destroyed  by  the  Babylonians.  In  all.  some  400  ancient 
sites  were  discovered  and  restored  to  t lie  map  and  to  man's 
knowledge. 

Rivers  in  the  Desert  is  more  than  a  brilliant  and  exciting 
account  of  life  in  antiquity,  though  11  certainly  is  that.  It  is  also 
immensely  important. 

For  Christian  scholarship,  1  lie  book  opens  vast  new 
frontiers.  Henceforth,  no  one  (an  study  the  history  of  the 
church  or  the  spread  of  Christianity  without  examining  the 
impact  made  by  the  early  Byzantine  church  in  the  Negev  on 
the  religious,  economic  and  cultural  life  of  the  Byzantine 
empire.

PLAIN  TALK 


Bv  ALFRED  SEGAL 


I  TAKE  A  WALK 

The  other  day  I  took  a  walk  up 
a  dying  street  which  long,  long  ago 
(that  is  to  say,  in  the  time  of  my 
remote  youth)  was  almost  all  Jew- 
ish. It  was  a  sort  of  memorial 


ALFRED  SEGAL 

stroll,  you  might  say.  We've  all  be- 
come so  much  richer  since  then 
but,  as  I  walked  along,  I  could  feel 
rich  enough  in  the  possession  of 
all  the  good  memories  that  crowd- 
ed around  me.  I  know  it  lovingly 
as  West  Sixth  Street  of  our  town. 

The  reason  I  took  the  walk  was 
that  I  had  met  an  elderly  friend 
who  was  looking  sad  .  .  .  "Segal," 
he  said,  "have  you  seen  what's  hap- 
pening to  our  street?" 

"What  do  you  mean  .  .  .  our 
.street?"  I  asked  him. 

"I  mean  Sixth  Street  .  .  .  your 
street  and  mine  in  that  good  old 
time  when  we  were  small  boys  and 
you  and  I  used  to  carry  live  chick- 
ens, for  our  mamas,  to  the  shochet 
on  Sixth  Street." 

"Yes,  the  shochet  charged  3  cents 
for  his  job  on  the  chicken,"  I  ex- 
claimed. "How  well  I  remember. 
The  shochet  did  his  job  in  the 
yard  back  of  Oscherowitz's  butcher 
shop;  he  gently  hung  the  dying 
chicken  on  the  fence  until  it  was 
dead  and  ready  for  our  Shabbos 
dinner  .  .  .  But  tell  me  what's  hap- 
pening to  Sixth  Street.  You  men- 
tioned that  so  sadly." 

"Well,"  he  replied,  "you  might 
say  it's  like  the  ancient  temple 
being  torn  down  ...  an  old,  old 
habitation  of  our  Jewish  life  being 


torn  down,  you  might  say  .  .  . 
wrecking  machines  tearing  down 
the  building  .  .  .  and  practically 
all  empty,  those  houses  which  are 
still  standing.  Dead  old  Sixth 
Street!  It  should  all  inspire  a  good 
column  for  you  to  cry  in  for  the 
good  past  of  our  youth  that's  all 
gone." 

So  I  said  to  my  friend  ...  he  is 
one  of  the  few  left  with  a  biblical 
name;  he's  Hezekiah  .  .  .  "Heze- 
kiah,  let's  take  a  walk  down  there 
together  on  our  dying  street." 

We  walked  slowly  through  this 
remnant  of  Jewish  life  that  had 
been  in  our  town  years  and  years 
ago  .  .  .  "Even  3  cents  for  schecht- 
ing  the  chicken  in  Oscherowitz's 
looked  like  big  money  then,"  he 
said. 

"Oh,"  I  exclaimed,  "how  well 
I  remember  thatl  How  tragic  it 
was  once  when  I  lost  the  3  cents 
on  the  way  with  the  chicken  to  the 
shochet  .  .  .  about  the  year  1890." 

"And  look  at  this  .  .  .  remember 
this?"  Hezekiah  asked.  We  had 
come  to  a  4-story  tenement  build- 
ing at  a  street  corner  .  .  .  "Remem- 
ber this  one?" 

"Sure,  Hezekiah,  that's  the  house 
that  was  called  Castle  Garden, 
though  the  tenants  pronounced  it 
Kessel  Garden  ...  in  memory  of 
the  place  at  the  Battery  of  New 
York  where  all  the  immigrants 
landed  in  those  days." 

Hezekiah  looked  up  lovingly  at 
the  old  house  .  .  .  "Yes,  right  here 
is  where  my  parents  lived  when 
they  came  over  ...  on  the  fourth 
floor,  in  two  rooms.  But  my  father 
came  in  time  to  have  a  house  of 
his  own.  In  those  two  rooms  my 
older  brothers  and  sister  were  born 
.  .  .  kids  out  of  the  4th  story  of 
this  tenement,  and  they  grew  up 
to  be  fine  people." 

We  went  on  .  .  .  "Know  this 
place?"  I  asked.  Sure,  Charek's 
grocery  was  here  .  .  .  Charek  fam- 
ous for  herring  .  .  .  herring  that 
tasted  as  good  as  the  herring  they 
had  eaten  in  Lithuania,  in  Poland, 
in  Russia  or  where  the  customers 
had  come  from  in  East  Europe. 

Hezekiah's  head  bowed.  He 
seems  to  be  thinking  a  prayer  of 
blessing  on  Mr.  Charek  .  .  .  "And

do  you  remember  that  house  across 
the  street?"  Hezekiah  asked. 

"Why  yes"  I  replied,  "there  they 
sold  t'fillim  and  mezuzahs  which 
were  on  every  forehead  there  and 
on  every  doorpost  in  this  neighbor- 
hood long  ago." 

"So  few  t'fillim  left  on  fore- 
heads these  days,"  Hezekiah  ob 
served,  clicking  his  tongue  sadly, 
"and  not  so  many  mezuzahs  on 
doorposts  either.  But  they  used  to 
do  a  good  business  with  t'fillim 
and  mezuzahs  in  that  store  those 
days.  By  the  way,  Segal,  do  t'fillim 
ever  get  on  your  forehead  nowa- 
days?" 

I  changed  the  subject  .  .  .  "Yes, 
it's  all  so  different  for  Jews  in 
these  times  .  .  .  maybe  much  better, 
too.  Long  ago,  the  Jews  moved 
away  from  Sixth  Street,  went  to 
places  in  town  where  grass  grows 
and  tulips  bloom  on  lawns  in  the 
springtime  and  their  houses  are  so 
lovely  .  .  ." 

Hezeikah  interrupted  .  .  .  "And 
look,  Segal,  in  this  here  house  1 


was  bar  mitzvah  ...  in  the  schul 
that  was  upstairs  on  the  second 
floor.' 

Hezekiah  and  I  walked  up  the 
rickety  stairway  to  the  big  room 
where  the  schul  once  was;  in  the 
recent  years  it  had  been  a  beer 
hall.  A  half  dozen  empty  beer  kegs 
stood  around  .  .  .  "That's  the  way 
it  goes,"  Hezekiah  murmured. 

But  now,  swinging  out  of  our 
sweet  memorial  mood,  I  spoke  up 
to  him.  "But  it's  all  for  the  better 
of  us  all  now,"  I  said.  "All  those 
lovely  synagogues  that  stand  in 
our  neighborhood  .  .  .  All  the  bet- 
ter living  we're  enjoying." 

"Yes,  better  living,"  mused  Heze- 
kiah, "but  is  it  better  life?" 

(I  should  have  explained:  The 
old  Sixth  Street  is  being  removed 
to  make  way  for  urban  renewal 
that  will  establish  a  wide  express- 
way which  will  get  us  faster  to 
where  we're  going.  But,  really, 
where  are  we  going  so  fast  .  .  . 
and  why?)

The  Hero  In  Jewish 
History 

By  Dr.  Harry  Essrig 

In  this  article  the  author,  spiritual  leader  of  Temple  Emanuel  in  Grand 
Rapids,  Mich.,  and  chairman  of  the  Adult  Education  Committee  of  f)  e  Cen- 
tral Conference  of  American  Rabbis,  reviews  the  first  vol'im"  of  a  o-~-»t 
Book  Series  undertaken  by  the  adult  Jewish  education  program  of  B'nal 
B'rith.  The  Editor 


DR.    HARRY  ESSRIG 


The  Jewish  people  as  a  group 
hive  always  occupied  the  center 
of  die  stage  of  Jewish  history, 
iheir  trials  and  tribulations,  tri- 
umphs and  achievements,  serving 
as  the  main  burden  of  our  chroni- 
cles. Our  sense  of  community  and 
bonds  of  group  identity  may  have 
been  responsible  for  slighting  the 
sgreat  heroes  of  our  past.  Perhaps 
this  attitude  is  also  rooted  in  Jew- 
ish reluctance  to  exalt  the  role  of 
the  individual  as  against  the  group 
?nd  its  tradition.  Unlike  other 
faiths,  Judaism  resulted  from  the 
creative  forces  of  the  entire  people. 
Hence  no  single  individual  or 
-■roup  of  individuals  is  enshrined 
above  others.  No  one  great  figure 
is  indispensable  in  Judaism. 

And  yet  we  ought  not  lose  sierht 
of  the  great  personalities  who 
helped  shape  the  course  of  Jewish 
history,  who  left  the  deep  impact 
of  their  genius  on  the  centuries, 
and  who  gave  form  and  structure 
to  our  faith  and  culture. 

To  help  bring  this  aspect  of 
Jewish  history  into  clearer  per- 
spective for  the  average  adult  is 
(he  goal  of  the  first  volume  of  the 
B'nai  B'rith  Great  Books  Series. 
Great.  Jewish  Personalities  in  An- 
cient and  Medieval  Times,  edited 
bv  Dr.  Simon  Noveck,  B'nai  B'rith 
director  of  adult  Jewish  education 
treats  the  life  and  thought  of  a 
dozen  great  men  from  the  time  of 
Moses  through  the  Vilna  Gaon. 
The  first  of  a  five-volume  series,  it 
will  appear  early  in  November 
(Farrar,  Straus  and  Cudahy;  368 
pages;  $4.95).  The  entire  kaleido- 
scope of  25  centuries  of  Jewish 
experience  is  illuminated  by 
means  of  vivid  portraits  of  proph- 
ets, scribes,  sages,  philosophers, 
poets  and  mystics  —  all  of  whom 
helped  weave  the  tapestry  of  Juda- 
ism. 


The  book  is  divided  into  two 
sections.  The  first  begins  with  the 
classical  age  of  Judaism  and  con- 
cludes with  the  completion  of  the 
Talmud  in  the  fifth  century  of  the 
Common  Era.  Over  a  stretch  of  17 
centuries,  there  pass  in  review  the 
commanding  figures  of  the  pro- 
phetic age,  the  Hellenistic  and 
Rabbinic  eras  —  the  men  who  gave 
wing  to  the  Jewish  vision. 

Moses  emerges  against  the  back- 
ground of  modern  archeological 
discoveries  as  an  authentic  person- 
ality and  the  most  creative  genius 
in  the  formulation  of  the  mono- 
theistic view  for  mankind  and  not 
as  a  mere  borrower  from  Ikhna- 
lon  of  Egypt.  He  appears  in  full 
splendor  as  the  historic  founder 
ol  our  faith  and  the  architect  of 
our  national  destiny. 

The  scene  then  shifts  to  David, 
the  poet-warrior,  who  established 
the  kingdom  and  made  Jerusalem 
the  political  center  of  the  new 
nation.  Next  comes  a  chapter  on 
Jeremiah,  the  best  known  of  the 
Hebrew  prophets  as  a  personality. 
His  was  a  time  of  paradox:  the 
rise  and  fall  of  the  First  Common- 
wealth, accompanied  by  the  emer- 
gence of  the  Hebrew  prophets 
who  saved  Judaism  at  its  most 
critical  juncture.  It  was  an  unpre- 
cedented historical  phenomenon 
that  the  national  cataclysm  of 
Israel  led  not  to  extinction  but  in- 
stead to  a  resurgence  of  its  moral 
grandeur. 

While  the  genius  of  our  people 
(lowered  in  the  land  of  Israel,  the 
Diaspora  at  all  times  played  a 
significant  role.  Likewise,  our  faith 
did  not  lead  a  cacoon  existence, 
sheltered  from  the  cultural  and 
spiritual  forces  of  its  environment. 
As  a  lasting  testimonial  to  the 
resilience  of  Tudaism,  we  have  the 
writings  of  Philo  of  Alexandria, 


who  preserved  Jewish  values  in  a 
Gentile  world.  He  blended  the 
Jewish  and  Greek  traditions  of 
thought  and  withal  remained  a 
loyal  Jew. 

The  great  classical  era  of  Juda- 
ism is  climaxed  with  the  masterlv 
compendium  of  the  Talmud,  pri- 
marily the  contribution  of  Baby- 
lonian Jewry.  Akiba,  the  sage  and 
martyr,  symbolizes  the  vast  erudi- 
tion that  had  accumulated  among 
the  learned  and  the  growing  need 
to  arrange  the  legal  heritage  into 
a  patterned  whole.  By  the  end  of 
the  fifth  century  CE,  Judaism's 
foundations  were  firmly  laid.  The 
Torah.  the  prophetic  writings,  the 
Hellenistic  literature  and  the  Tal- 
mud had  permanently  established 
the  contours  of  our  faith.  Later 
generations  were  merely  to  inter- 
pret, adapt  and  sometimes  modifv 
the  original  formulations.  But  ii 
was  to  the  ideas  and  institu' ;ons 
of  Akiba's  period  that  Jews  hence- 
forth looked  for  guidance  and  in- 
spiration. 

In  the  hands  of  Harry  M.  Or- 
linskv,  Mortimer  J.  Cohen.  Erwin 
R.  Goodenough,  and  Louis  Fin- 
kelstein.  and  other  distinguished 
.scholars,  these  personalities  com  ■ 
to  life,  brimming  with  vigor  and 
vitality.  The  essays  are  written  in 
a  popular,  non-technical  style,  and 
ate  woven  together  by  means  of 
historical  "bridges"  or  introduc- 
tions, written  by  Dr.  Noveck, 
which  continue  the  thread  of  the 
narrative.  Thus  the  reader  is  able 
to  see  the  entire  panorama  of 
Jewish  history  while  focusing  his 
primary  attention  on  the  great 
men  of  the  past. 

The  second  part  of  the  volume 
is  concerned  with  Jewish  heroes 
of  the  Middle  Apes,  which  for 
our  people  extended  through  the 
18th  century.  The  area  and  scope 


ol  activity  now  widen  as  the  Jew- 
ish people  move  beyond  the  con- 
fines of  the  Oriental  world.  Baby- 
lonia and  Spain,  France  and  East- 
ern Europe  provide  the  back- 
ground for  achievements  in  poe 
try,  philosophy,  mysticism,  and 
other  aspects  of  Jewish  learning. 

We  are  first  introduced  to  Saadia 
Gaon,  "the  father  of  Jewish  philos- 
ophy," who  helped  Judaism  over- 
come the  challenge  of  Greek  philos- 
ophy in  Arabic  garb  as  well  as 
that  of  the  dissident  Karaitic  sect. 
He  was  the  first  to  develop  inte'- 
lectual  tools  such  as  dictionaries, 
grammars,  commentaries,  for  the 
understanding  of  the  tradition. 
Judaism  was  thus  enabled  to  re- 
tain its  meaningfulness  in  a  dy- 
namic cultural  milieu. 

In  the  11th  century  lived  the 
teacher  Rashi,  to  this  day  studied 
and  esteemed  as  the  author  of  the 
finest  commentary  on  the  Bible 
and  the  Talmud.  Rashi  raised 
the  function  of  teaching  to  a  high 
level  and  made  the  Torah  acces 
sible  to  the  masses.  He  thus  pro- 
vided the  key  to  what  might  have 
become  the  sealed  pages  of  oui 
heritage. 

At  approximately  the  same  time, 
the  Golden  Age  of  Spain  flourish- 
ed. Its  poet  laureate,  Judah  Hal- 
evi,  made  himself  the  troubador 
of  God  and  Israel,  and  waged  the 
polemic  defense  of  his  faith. 

The  persistent  struggle  to  rec- 
oncile Judaism  with  contempo- 
rary philosophy  and  to  solve  the 
conflict  of  religion  and  reason 
reached  its  apex  in  the  works  of 
Maimonides.  This  multi-faceted 
spiritual  leader  towered  over  all 
of  medieval  Jewry  and  left  a  deep 
imprint  on  the  larger  Christian

We  have  proven  to  ourselves  that 
when  women  work  together  for 
any  given  project,  they  can  accom- 
plish wonders.  Our  annual  Donor 
Luncheon  is  a  case  in  point.  Not 
only  did  we  have  a  splendid  turn- 
out, but  donations  were  promised 
l)y  many,  many  other  members  who 
were  unable  to  attend  the  lunch-

Man  of  the  Month 

Joseph  S.  Mann 

Whiteville,  N.  C. 


Joseph  Simon  Mann  arrived  in 
New  York  in  1913  at  the  age  of 
16,  from  Kretinga,  Lithuania,  near 
the  German  border,  with  $23  in 
his  pocket.  He  sent  $20  of  the  mon- 
ey back  to  his  parents,  as  he  knew 
they  needed  it,  and  then  set  out  to 
find  a  job.  With  Mazel  he  got  a  job 
in  a  butcher  shop  and  made  $1.50 
lor  the  three  days  he  worked  there, 
and  was  allowed  to  sleep  in  back 
pf  the  shop.  His  work  there  started 
at  4:00  a.  m. 

Joe  decided  he  was  going  to  fin- 
ish his  schooling,  so  he  got  another 
job  as  an  apprentice  in  a  jewelry 
factory  and  entered  night  school. 
He  changed  jobs  again,  each  time 
increasing  his  earnings  and  became 
a  men's  clothing  salesman  in  a 
wholesale  house. 

At  the  outbreak  of  World  War 
I,  he  enlisted  and  was  sent  to 
France  with  the  American  Expedi- 
tionary Forces,  and  in  August  of 
1919  was  discharged  with  the  rank 
of  first  sergeant. 

He  returned  to  his  job  of  cloth- 
ing salesman,  but  he  had  gotten 
the  urge  to  go  south.  In  November, 
1  (jig,  he  packed  his  trunk  and  came 
10  Wallace,  North  Carolina,  where 
he  stayed  one  month.  From  there 
he  moved  to  Burgaw,  North  Caro- 
lina, where  he  was  made  manager 
of  the  store  of  H.  Margolis  &  Broth- 
ers. Here  he  met  Lillie  Margolis  of 
Baltimore,  Maryland,  and  in  June, 
1920,  they  were  married.  By  this 
time  Mr.  Mann  had  bought  part 
interest  in  the  Margolis  store.  After 
their  first  child,  Beatrice,  was  born, 
they  moved  to  Whiteville,  North 
Carolina  in  1922,  where  he  was  in 
charge  of  the  business  of  Margolis- 
Mann,  &  Kramer,  known  as  the  One 
Price  Store.  Here  his  other  two 
children  were  born,  a  son,  Sol,  and 
another  daughter,  Etta  Rose. 

In  the  early  1920's  he  brought 
his  brother,  Israel,  to  Burgaw  from 
Europe,  and  in  1924,  another  broth- 
er, Irving,  was  brought  over.  Mr. 
Mann  helped  each  one  to  get  start- 
ed in  business  and  Israel  and  his 


family  now  live  in  Raeford,  North 
Carolina,  and  Irving  and  his  family 
are  in  Elizabethtown,  North  Caro- 
lina. In  1935  he  went  to  Lithuania 
to  bring  back  his  widowed  mother, 
and  set  her  up  in  an  apartment  in 
New  York  City  where  her  sister 
was  living. 

In  1928  he  bought  out  his  part- 
ners, and  the  store  became  known 
as  J.  S.  Mann's  Department  Store. 
Another  store,  The  Family  Shoe 
Store,  was  opened  in  Whiteville  in 
1954,  and  this  is  under  the  manage- 
ment of  his  son-in-law,  Si  Stein- 
berg, Beatrice's  husband.  The  de- 
partment store  is  now  managed  by 
Mr.  Mann's  son,  Sol. 

During  World  War  II,  Mr.  Mann 
was  one  of  the  most  active  people 
in  Columbus  County.  He  was  ap- 
pointed chairman  of  the  first  USO 
financial  drive  in  Whiteville  and 
received  a  citation  from  the  nation- 
al chairman,  Thomas  Dewey,  for- 
mer governor  of  New  York  state, 
for  surpassing  the  quota.  He  was 
also  area  supervisor  of  the  Aircraft 
Warning  Recognition  Army  Air 
Corps  from  1941  until  1944,  where 
he  served  as  a  volunteer  worker. 

Giving  charity  has  always  been  a 
very  important  thing  in  Joe  Mann's 
life.  Many  times  during  the  de- 
pression years  of  the  1930's,  he 
borrowed  money  from  the  bank  in 
order  to  keep  up  his  charity  con- 
tributions. His  checks  have  been 
sent  to  orphanages,  hospitals,  rab- 
binical colleges,  Yeshivas,  etc.  He 
has  also  given  to  many  non-  Jewish 
fund-raising  drives,  as  well  as  help 
raise  the  funds. 

He  has  for  many  years  worked 
with  the  United  Palestine  Appeal 
financial  drives,  and  now  helps  the 
United  Jewish  Appeal. 

In  1950,  just  a  few  days  before 
their  30th  anniversary,  Mr.  Mann's 
wife  passed  away.  In  Decembei, 
1951,  Mr.  Mann  remarried,  to  Mrs. 
Celia  Cooley  Patla  of  Henderson- 
ville,  North  Carolina.  His  youngest 
daughter  is  married  to  Stanley  Solo- 
mon of  Atlanta,  Georgia.  He  now 
has  eight  grandchildren

JERUSALEM  (WNS)  The  elec- 
tion campaign,  expected  to  be  one 
of  the  roughest  in  the  history  of 
Israel,  has  gotten  under  full  swing 
at  a  Mapai  rally  in  Tel  Aviv  where 
Foreign  Ministr  Golda  Meir  and 
former  Ambassador  Abba  Eban 
were  the  principal  speakers.  Prime 
Minister  David  Ben  Gurion,  who 
was  pronounced  in  good  shape  and 
a  good  insurance  risk  after  a  medi- 
cal check-up  at  the  Tel  Hashomer 
Govrenment  Hospital,  is  to  take  a 
two-week  vacation  before  embark- 
ing on  a  strenuous  campaign  he 
hopes  will  bring  clear  victory  to 
his  party.  The  campaign  was  also 
opened  by  left-wing  Achdut  Avo- 
dah  at  a  meeting  of  its  National 
Council  at  Tel  Aviv  where  General 
Yigal  Allon,  retired,  charged  gov- 
ernment bungling  of  the  Sinai  cam- 
paign advantages  and  the  Suez  Ca- 
nal issue.  Election  rallies  were  also 
held  by  other  parties  throughout 
the  country.

Mr.  Chester  Brown,  Editor

P.  O.  Box  1469 
Greensboro,  N.  C. 

Dear  Mr.  Brown: 

CARNEGIE,  PULITZER,  TRI-CENTENNIAL,  FREEDOM 
FOUNDATION  MEDALS,  CERTIFICATE  OF  ESTEEM  are  due 
to  the  American  Jewish  Times-Outlook  for  25  years  of  outstanding 
community  service ;  of  enhancing  the  highest  precepts  and  (Torah) 
values  of  American-Judeo  democratic  principles;  of  serving  as  a 
2-way  communication  media  and  process  of  reporting  and  record- 
ing; a  local  'grass  roots'  house  organ  and  also  a  chronicler  of 
international,  national,  regional,  and  area  news  events  and  high- 
lights; a  MAGAZINE  that  rates  with  the  highest  'dignity'  of 
journalism  and  yet  never  loses  the  'human'  touch;  unsurpassed 
editorials,  features,  and  timely  NEWS,  educational,  cultural  and 
spiritual  and  ethical;  where  HARMONY  and  non-contentiousness 
prevails ;  sans  sensationalism  and  gimmicks. 

Correspondents  and/or  reporters  are  conveyors  of  their  'com- 
munity abstracts'  and  choice  tidbits:  garnished,  relished  and  ex- 
pounded as  the  case  may  be. 

In  my  travels,  personal  visits,  conventions,  and  gatherings 
I  have  noted  that  the  A.J.T.O.  becomes  a  conversational  piece  and 
a  frame  of  reference.  Few  homes  are  without  their  HOUSEHOLD 
and  FAMILY  'required'  reading:  their  favorite  monthly  magazine. 
To  miss  even  one  issue  of  the  OUTLOOK  would  cause  a  'disturbance.' 

A  14  gun  salute  is  in  order  at  this  time  together  with  the 
L'Shono  Tovo. 

Ever  Yours  In  the  Faith, 
Irving  S.  Cheroff

These  have  been  busy  days  for 
members  of  Temple  Emanuel. 
During  the  past  month  we  were 
priveliged  to  witness  two  lovely 
Bas  Mitzvahs.  The  first  was  that 
pi  fane  Mescham,  daughter  of  Dr. 
.i'hI  Mrs.  b  Mescham.  It  was  a 
iremendous  thrill  to  see  and  hear 
fane,  and  all  those  who  were  on 
hand  for  this  event,  will  long  re- 
member it.  One  extra  thrill  for 
Jane  and  her  famiily,  was  the 
presence  of  her  Grandmother  who 
came  all  the  way  from  Australia. 

Two  weeks  later  Barbara  Lav 
fetes,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Paul  Lavietes,  conducted  a  lovely 
service,  and  we  were  all  so  proud 


to  watch  her.  Our  very  sincere 
congratulations  to  these  young 
ladies  and  their  parents. 

Hadassah  held  its  annual  H-Dav 
event  also  this  month.  It  was  a  full 
day  for  all  Hadassah  members. 
Beginning  with  a  breakfast  host- 
essed by  Mrs.  Don  Mallins;  then 
a  calvacade  of  cars  soliciting  new 
and  old  members,  finally  a  lively 
luncheon  at  Temple  Emanuel  ai 
noon.  For  a  final  touch  Mrs. 
Gerald  Liecher  presented  a  most 
enjoyable  program  with  several 
members  doing  take-offs  on  show 
business  personalities.

MRS.   HVRRY  RUDEN, 
Correspondent 

The  months  of  activities  in  our 
community  began  in  September 
with  a  well  attended  Hadassah 
meeting  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Jules 
Kurtzwile.  Mrs.  Maurice  Scherr, 
President,  presided  and  outlined 
the  projects  and  committees  for  an 
active  year.  Following  the  meeting. 
Mrs.  Kurtzwile  served  a  delicious 
desert  while  the  members  chatted 
and  learned  of  each  other's  sum- 
mer events.  It  was  a  delightful  be- 
ginning to  the  months  ahead  of 
work  in  our  community. 

I  am  proud  to  write  that  my 
father-in-law,  Al  Ruden,  was  elected 
President  of  the  Agudath  Achim 
Congregation  last  month  for  his 
twenty-second  year.  Serving  with 
him  on  the  board  is  Mr.  Israel 
Levy  of  Waverly,  Va.  as  Honorary 
Vice-President;  Mr.  Arthur  Kerple- 
man,  Vice-President;  Mr.  Jules 
Kurtzwile,  Secretary  (for  twenty- 
two  years  also!)  and  Mr.  Larry 
Ruden,  Treasurer.  In  accepting  his 
office,  the  president  told  of  his  de- 
sire to  launch  a  project  for  erect- 
ing a  new  synagogue  in  Suffolk. 
It  is  his  hope  that  by  beginning 
now  on  such  a  project,  the  ac- 


complishment of  this  dream  in  the 
years  to  come,  would  become  a 
reality. 

The  Sisterhood  of  the  Agudath 
Achim  Congregation  began  its  1959- 
60  schedule  helping  to  serve  re- 
freshments following  the  Selichos 
service  in  the  Synagogue.  In  honor 
of  their  daughter  Rose  Ellen's 
wedding  earlier  that  same  evening 
in  the  Synagogue,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Morris  Bass  had  wedding  cake 
served  by  the  Sisterhood  women 
to  the  men  and  women  who  attend- 
ed the  Midnight  service. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Spitz  of 
New  York  City  spent  the  High 
Holidays  with  their  daughter  and 
son-in-law,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Coleman 
Davis. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Stanley  Mirman 
and  daughter,  Jeri  of  Norfolk,  spent 
the  Holidays  with  her  parents,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Hank  Bernstein. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Richard  Staub 
traveled  to  Ohio  to  spend  the  Holi- 
days with  her  family  in  Columbus.

The  B  8c  P  Hadassah  Study 
Group  meeting  was  held  on  Octo-

Rudlin.  During  our  meeting  Mrs. 
Rudlin  told  of  her  many  interest- 
ing experiences  of  her  recent  trip 
to  Israel;  her  talk  was  most  en- 
lightning  and  enjoyable. 

The  B&P  Hadassah  meeting 
was  held  on  October  14th  at  the 
Southern  Bank  Building,  at  which 
time  some  of  the  members  put  on

(Concluded  from  Page  11) 

We  know  President  Lillie  Lef-     Ina    Aran,  and 
kowit/  must  have  been  bursting 
with  pride  at  the  way  the  organiza- 
tion had  begun  another  year. 

This  week  everyone  is  going  to 
the  fair.  Hadassah  has  its  annual 
booth  in  operation,  and  if  the 
weather  holds  out  business  should 
be  good  as  usual. 

Council  Sisterhood  has  as  usual 
been  working  very  hard.  The  An- 
nual Harvest  Luncheon  was  a 
financial  and  also  social  success. 
A  delightful  Fashion  Show  featur- 
ing hats  and  bags  was  enjoyed  by 
all. 

Mazel  Tov  to  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Saul   Kapiloff,   Bobbi's  daughter, 


son-in-law,  Dr. 
Marvin  J.  Miller,  are  the  proud 
parents  of  a  baby  daughter,  Jill 
Robin. 

Our  deepest  sympathy  to  Minna 
Kurtk,  on  the  passing  of  her 
brother,  Max  Lauterstein. 

Good  health  to  Helen  Davis, 
Saul  Kapiloff  and  Lillian  Wald-

Congratulations  to  Mr.  and

and  Muslem  worlds  as  well.  He 
established  for  all  times  the  model 
of  the  authentic  Jew. 

But  the  creative  pursuit  of  learn- 
ing was  often  conducted  in  the 
midst  of  persecution,  expulsion 
and  wandering.  Thus,  Don  Isaac 
Abravanel,  scholar  and  statesman, 
witnessed  the  many  calamities  that 
destroyed  Spanish  Jewry.  Despite 
arduous  tasks  and  perpetual  fears, 
he  continued  to  write  Biblical 
commentaries  and  served  as  "for- 
tress and  shield  for  his  people." 

In  East  Europe,  Jewry  came  into 
its  own  in  the  18th  century.  Two 
great  men,  the  Vilna  Gaon  and  the 
Baal  Shem  Tov,  at  the  opposite 
poles  of  religious  experience, 
ought  each  in  his  own  unique 
style,  to  restore  balance  and 
strength  to  Jewish  life. 

This  galaxy  of  spiritual  giants 
of  medieval  Jewry  assured  our 
survival  as  a  people  and  as  a  faith. 


Their  lives  and  thoughts  are 
dramatically  presented  by  Trude 
Weiss-Rosmarin,  Samuel  M.  Blum- 
enfield,  Jacob  S.  Minkin,  Salo  W. 
Baron,  Louis  I.  Newman  and 
Mever  Waxman.  As  in  the  first 
part  of  the  volume,  the  historical 
background  is  filled  in  so  that  the 
achievements  of  individuals  are 
understood  in  proper  context. 

Ambitious  and  remarkable  as 
this  literary  project  is,  it  is  but 
the  first  of  a  larger  undertaking, 
f  our  other  volumes  are  scheduled 
lor  publication,  the  second  of 
which  will  appear  in  March,  1960. 
Of  the  B'nai  B'rith  Great  Books 
Series,  volume  two  will  deal  with 
twelve  great  Jewish  personalities 
of  modern  times.  It  will  be  follow- 
ed by  a  book  on  nine  modern  Jew- 
ish thinkers,  from  Ahad  Ha'am  to 
Martin  Buber,  with  a  companion

tory references  and  explanatory 
notes.  The  final  text  in  the  series 
will  deal  with  "Basic  Beliefs  of 
Judaism." 

This  is  truly  a  project  of  great 
magnitude  and  marks  a  turning- 


point  in  the  development  of  adult 
education  in  the  American-Jewish 
community.  The  widespread  use 
of  this  series  in  synagogue  and  or- 
ganizational study  groups  as  well 
as  for  personal  reading,  it  is  hoped, 
will  make  possible  a  continuing 
devotion  to  Torah  in  our  time.

Finally,  through  its  reconstruction  of  the  civilizations  of 
iniquity  in  their  historic  setting,  the  book  dramatically  dem- 
onstrates the  inseparability  of  the  Negev  from  the  rest  of 
Israel.  No  one  who  reads  this  book  can  fail  to  grasp  the  geo- 
political importance  of  the  Negev  as  a  single  bridge-head  be- 
tween Asia  and  Africa,  meaningful  not  only  for  Israel  but  for 
Ithe  entire  Western  world.  Reading  the  ancient  past,  Dr. 
Glueck  finds  a  message  for  today:  Israel  in  the  past  has  never 
been  able  peacefully  to  develop  without  the  complete  control 
of  the  Negev  and  without  access  to  the  Red  Sea  through  the 
Gulf  of  Aquabah;  Israel  cannot  survive  without  the  possiblity 
of  peaceful  expansion  southward  into  the  broad  and  empty 
spaces  of  the  Negev  and  if  the  Negev,  or  any  part  of  it,  were 
ever  taken  from  Israel,  it  would  mean  the  end  of  the  foot- 
hold of  the  western  world  in  the  pivotal  area  of  the  Near  East, 
with  all  its  consequent  military  and  economic  results.

The  "growing  demand  for  kosher 
foods"  stems  from  "the  general  re- 
generation of  religious  observance" 
among  American  Jews  and  partly 
from  "pride  in  the  birth  of  Israel," 
the  Wall  Street  Journal  declared  in 
a  survey  of  the  kosher  food  market 
in  one  of  its  recent  issues. 

Referring  to  the  growing  interest 
of  the  general  shopper  in  kosher 
food,  the  publication  notes  that 
"advertising  and  supermarket  plays 
are  making  Gentiles  well  aware  of 
kosher  foods,  other  than  corned 
beef  and  pastrami,  and  not  without 
purpose."

Visitors  from  as  far  away  as 
Hendersonville  as  well  as  others 
from  Statesville,  Valdese,  Lenoir, 
Morganton  were  on  hand  Sunday 
September  13th,  for  the  dedication 
ceremonies  of  the  new  Hickory 
Jewish  Center.  Rabbi  E.  A.  Levi 
of  Charlotte  officiated  at  the  cere- 
mony. 


Groundbreaking  for  the  new 
house  of  worship  was  held  in  Jan- 
uary of  this  year,  and  the  formal 
dedication  of  the  temple  was  the 
culmination  of  many  years  of  work 
on  the  part  of  local  Jewry  to  es- 
tablish their  own  temple. 

The  processional  was  led  by 
Rabbi  Levy,  I.  D.  Blumenthal, 
President  of  the  North  Carolina 
Association  of  Jewish  Men,  officers 
of  the  Hickory  Jewish  Center  and 
members  of  the  board.  The  Torah 
was  placed  in  the  Ark  during  the 
processional. 

David  Kraus,  the  Center's  first 
president  and  chairman  of  the 
building  committee,  opened  the 
Ark  and  Rabbi  Levi  along  with  the 
congregation  recited  the  Hebrew 
prayer.  Mr.  David  I.  Witten,  was 
given  the  honor  of  lighting  the 
Eternal  Light.  Scripture  reading 
was  read  by  Marvin  Zerden,  follow- 
ing which  the  keys  to  the  Center 
were  presented  to  the  incoming 
president  Phil  Datnoff,  by  David 
Kraus. 

Plaques  "in  recognition  of  out- 
standing and  unselfish  efforts  in 
our  behalf,"  were  presented  to  Mr. 
I.  D.  Blumenthal,  and  Mr.  Morris 
Speizman  of  Charlotte;  Mr.  Henry

MRS.  SAM  FKEEDMAN,  Correspondent 

to  him  by  the  Sisterhood  President, 
Mrs.  I.  Zelon.  He  then  delivered 
a  fine  sermonette,  "The  Ten  Com- 
mandments for  Young  Men"  and 
promised  to  defer  to  them  in  his 
daily  living.  He  also  thanked  his 
parents,  and  teacher,  Rabbi  M. 
Herbert  Berger,  for  their  patience 
and  interest  in  him. 

Rabbi  Berger  then  presented  his 
sermon,  "Beauties  and  Duties  of 
Judaism." 

After  services,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Gitelson,  Richard,  his  sister  Elaine 
and  Rabbi  Berger  formed  a  receiv- 
ing line  for  the  Oneg  Shabat  which 
was  held  in  the  social  hall. 

Saturday  morning  Richard  recit- 
ed his  haftorah.  He  had  diligently 
prepared  himself  for  this  auspcious 
occasion  and  it  was  indeed  gratify- 
ing not  only  to  himself,  but  to 
his  parents,  grandparents  and  teach- 
er. 

The  president  of  the  congrega- 
tion, Irving  Zelon,  presented  Rich- 
ard with  a  certificate  of  Bar  Mitz- 
vah  in  honor  of  this  occasion.  The 
traditional  kiddush  was  then  made 
and  luncheon  was  served.  The 
luncheon  was  really  a  gourmet's 
delight  -  all  kinds  of  fishes  were 
served,  and  Grandmother  Gitelson 
had  brought  from  New  York  deli- 
cious "kichel"  to  eat  with  the  fish. 

The  communty  joins  me  in  wish- 
ing Richard  lots  of  luck  and  hope 
that  his  family  will  always  have 
"nachus"  from  him. 

Out  of  town  guests  for  the  happy 
occasion  were:  Mrs.  J.  M.  Finkel, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Abe  Schewel  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Ben  Schewel,  Lynchburg, 
Va.,  and  Mrs.  V.  Heiner,  Roanoke, 
Va.  From  New  York  came  Mr.  and 
■Mrs.  S.  Gitelson,  Brooklyn;  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  B.  Gitelson,  Louise  and 
Steven  Gitelson,  Cedarhust,  Long 
Island;  Mrs.  Jack  Mazo  and  Mr. 
Bertram!  Mazo  and  Mr.  Clem 
Hausman. 

The  songwriter  who  wrote,  "You 
will  have  the  time-the  time  of  your 
liie  .  .  ."  must  have  had  Hadassah's 
.National  Convention  in  mind.  Our 
delegate,  Mrs.  J.  Colvin,  Hadassah 
president,  gave  such  a  glowing 
report  of  the  St.  Louis  Convention 
that  all  members  will  be  anxious 
to  attend  the  next  one.  Durham's 
chapter  was  singly  honored  by  hav- 
ing one  of  its  own  members,  Sara 
Evans,  a  member  at  large  of  the 
National  Board,  to  be  chairman  of 
the  nominating  committee.

RICHARD  GITELSON 

With  beauty  and  dignity,  Rich- 
ard Gitelson,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Harry  Gitelson,  was  admitted  into 
the  realm  of  Jewish  Manhood,  Sep- 
tember nth  and  12th,  at  the  Beth- 
El  Synagogue. 

It  was  indeed  a  great  simcha  foi 
Richard's  grandparents,  Mrs.  }.  M. 
Finkel,  Lynchburg,  Va.,  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  S.  Gitelson,  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.,  to  witness  the  proud  parents, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  Gitelson  place 
the  talis  on  their  son's  shoulders 
and  recite  the  blessings.  This  mark- 
ed the  beginning  of  the  consecra- 
tion ceremony. 

Richard  rendered  a  melodious 
kiddush,  using  the  silver  kiddush 
c  up  which  had  just  been  presented

MRS   HARRY  C API 

High  Holy  Day  Services  elicited 
the  most  favorable  comments  from 
the  large  and  reverent  congrega- 
tions present  at  these  services.  Im- 
mediately following  New  Year's 
Eve  Services,  a  reception  tendered 
by  the  Sisterhood  was  held  in  the 
Assembly  Rooms  of  the  Temple 
where  one  could  hear  the  tradi 
lional  "Happy  New  Year"  being 
repeated  on  all  sides.  We  are  most 
grateful  to  Mrs.  B.  S.  Aronson, 
hospitalitv  chairman  and  her  large 
committee  who  was  responsible 
for  this  annual  function. 

The  Holidav  choir  under  the 
able  direction  of  Dr.  Nell  Hirsch- 
berg  performed  beautifully;  the 
ushers  as  always  performed  their 
iob  in  a  most  efficient  manner.

also  added  very  greatly  to  the 
impressiveness  of  the  services.  Our 
thanks  to  Alan  Levi  for  blowing 
the  shofar  at  the  Children's  ser- 
vices on  Sunday.  Our  appreciation 
is  extended  to  all  who  participat- 
ed in  our  services. 

On  Saturday  afternoon,  follow- 
ing Rosh  Hashonah  Services,  Rab- 
bi and  Mrs.  Harry  Caplan  held 
open  house  to  wish  members  of 
their  congregation  every  "good 
wish  for  the  year  5720". 

Succoth  Services  were  held  Fri- 
day, October  16th  at  which  time 
members  of  the  Religious  School 
held  a  service  under  the  Surrah.

to  all  concerned. 

Rabbi  Caplan  has  resumed  his 
teaching  duties  at  Shaw  University 
where  he  teaches  6  hours  a  week. 
He  conducts  two  classes:  one  in 
"Introduction  to  Old  Testament"

MRS.  RICHARD  FORMAN  and  MRS.  DlANIEL  HOLLANDER, 
Correspondents 


During  the  past  month,  the  com- 
mittees on  adult  education  repre- 
senting the  various  Temple  groups 
have  met  with  Rabbi  Asher  to 
formulate  plans  for  the  coming 
year.  The  interest  indicated,  not 
only  by  the  committees,  but  by 
various  members  wishing  to  parti- 
cipate in  these  meetings,  has  been 
gratifying.  Mrs.  Sam  Richman  and 
Mr.  Sidney  Schreiber,  co-chairmen, 
have  announced  the  two  programs 
that  have  been  decided  upon:  i)  A 
series  of  three  lectures  with  dicus- 
sions  to  follow,  to  be  held  on  three 
consecutive  Friday  nights  immedi- 
ately after  the  Sabbath  Service. 
This  will  take  place  sometime  in 
January  or  February.  The  subject 
will  be  "Development  of  Jewish 
Practices  and  Customs"  with  spe- 
cial references  to  the  fields  of  law, 
hygiene,  and  business  practice.  A 
layman  from  each  field  will  be  ask- 
ed to  present  some  aspects  of  this 
subject.  2)  A  bi-weekly  study  group 
to  meet,  which  began  on  Monday 
evening,  October  26th.  The  book, 
Where  Judaism  Differed,  by  Rabbi 
Abba  Hillel  Silver,  is  the  text  being 
used.  This  course  should  extend 
for  ten  sessions  over  a  20-week  pe- 
riod. 

The  Temple  Brotherhood  Edu- 
cation Committee  has  decided  on 
a  study  course  for  men  only  to  be 
offered  on  Sunday  mornings  at  10 
o'clock.  The  group  will  meet  on  the 
first  Sunday  of  each  month,  begin- 
ning November  1st.  This  course 
will  be  based  on  the  text,  Leading 
a  Jewish  Life  in  the  Modern  World 
by  Rabbi  S.  H.  Markowitz. 

Mrs.  Harold  Sachs  and  Mrs. 
Brandt  Levy,  co-chairmen,  have  an- 
nounced to  Temple  Sisterhood 
members  that  an  educational  pro- 


gram will  be  held  on  Wednesday, 
December  9th.  This  will  be  in  the 
form  of  a  panel  discussion  on  the 
subject,  "Should  Judaism  Engage 
in  a  Mission  for  Converts?"  Rabbi 
Asher  will  be  the  moderator  and 
discussants  will  be  a  Reform,  a 
Conservative,  and  an  Orthodox 
rabbi. 

Rabbi  Rypins  was  missed  by  all 
the  congregation  during  the  holi- 
day season.  Temple  Emanuel,  at 
Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida,  had  ex- 
tended an  invitation  to  him  to 
aid  Rabbi  Marius  Ranson  with  the 
High  Holy  Day  Services.  Our  best 
wishes  for  a  speedy  recovery  to 
Rabbi  Ranson  went  with  Rabbi 
Rypins,  who  left  Greensboro  on 
September  30th  and  returned  on 
October  14th. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  year  of 
the  Greensboro  Section  of  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Jewish  Women 
was  held  on  October  5th  at  Tem- 
ple Emanuel.  A  program  entitled, 
"Council  Through  the  Decades," 
was  presented  by  four  past  presi- 
dents of  our  Section.  Mrs.  C.  L. 
Weill  spoke  about  the  20's,  Mrs. 
A.  F.  Klein  spoke  about  the  30's, 
Mrs.  Herbert  Falk  spoke  about  the 
40's,  and  Mrs.  A.  J.  Tannenbaum 
concluded  with  the  50's.  The  music 
was  provided  by  Mrs.  Sam  Prago. 
Surely,  all  who  attended  this  meet- 
ing could  not  help  but  be  amazed 
at  the  rapid  progress  and  develop- 
ment of  the  Greensboro  Section. 
The  worthwhile  work  of  this  or- 
ganization   has    covered  such  a

Our  holiday  services  were  once 
again  made  exceptionally  beauti- 
fully this  year  by  the  presence  of 
Cantor  Irving  Mann  of  Wilming- 
ton. He  was  in  fine  voice  and  his 
cantonal  renditions  thrilled  all 
who  worshipped  together.  Rabbi 
Simcha  Kling's  sermons  were  rich 
and  meaningful.  Many  out-of-town 
visitors  worshipped  with  us  this 
year.  May  the  New  Year  be  a 
good  one  for  all  of  us. 

After  Yom  Kippur  Services,  Sis- 
terhood invited  all  out  of  town 
vistors  to  a  break-the-fast.  In  the 
evening  our  Post  Yom  Kippur 
Dance  was  held.  It  was  a  very  fes- 
tive evening,  attended  by  a  very 
good  crowd.

Our  High  Holy  Days  services 
conducted  by  Rabbi  Alan  Fuchs, 
of  Cinninnati,  Ohio,  was  most  in- 
spiring. We  are  very  fortunate  to 
have  Rabbi  Fuchs  serve  our  con- 
gregation once  each  month  for  the 
coming  year.  He  will  visit  the  con- 
gregation from  Friday  through 
Sunday.  He  is  a  student  at  Hebrew 
Union  College  in  Cincinnati,  and 
is  a  native  of  Connecticut. 

Honoring  our  new  Rabbi,  the 
Ladies  Auxiliary  of  the  Temple 
entertained  at  the  Jewish  Com- 
mnniM  '  r.,ter  at  a  "Come  And

for  the  lovely  a f fail  were  Mrs.  Al- 
fred Goidon,  Mr;.  Dave  Lester  and 
Mrs.  Milton  Stemberger.  The  lull 
attendance  made  die  affair  such  a 
huge  success.

I  wish  to  take  this  occasion  to 
extend  our  congratulations  to  our

The  Feast  of  Dedication 

Although  Chanukah  is  better  known  as  the  Feast  of  Lights, 
it  likewise  has  reason  perhaps  to  be  recognized  as  the  Feast 
of  Dedication.  In  addition  to  celebrating  the  victory  of  the 
Maccabees  over  the  pagan  Greco-Syrian  king,  Antiochus 
Ephipanes,  the  then  ruler  of  Judea,  thus  giving  it  the  identi- 
fication of  religious  freedom,  it  likewise  commemorates  the  re- 
dedication  of  the  Temple  to  God,  now  that  the  defilement 
of  the  pagan  had  been  eradicated  with  the  Maccabbean  vic- 
tory. 

It  is  this  rededication  that  has  particular  significance  to 
us  today.  Our  daily  press  is  replete  with  news  of  human 
failure  —  sins  of  commission  as  well  as  those  of  omission. 
These  violations  of  social  ethics  seem  to  stem  from  one  root— 
—  a  lowering  of  our  ethical  and  moral  standards.  This  is  true 
not  only  of  the  perpetrators  of  the  offense,  but  of  us  all  as 
individuals  as  well.  Our  "shrug-of-the-shoulders"  attitude  — 
our  willingness  to  condone  and  explain  away  deviations  from 
the  right  —  indicate  that  our  standards  have  been  lowered. 

Let  us  then  reflect  on  Chanukah  as  the  Feast  of  Dedica- 
tion and  resolve  to  re-dedicate  ourselves.  Let  us  get  back  on 
the  track  of  thinking  that  a  thing  is  either  right  or  wrong. 
Let  us  raise  our  standards  —  moral  and  ethical  —  and  expect 
society  to  respond  to  the  call  for  a  re-evaluation  of  right  living. 

The  Criterion— Living  Jewishly 

The  controversy  started  by  Israel  Prime  Minister  David 
Ben  Gurion  as  to  who  is  a  Jew  goes  on  unabated.  Millions  of 
words  have  been  spoken  and  written  and  the  answer  is  still 
not  in  sight. 

It  is  not  our  intention,  now  or  at  any  subsequent  time, 
to  add  to  these  words.  The  answer  that  suits  our  purpose  at 
this  time  is  "He  is  a  Jew  who  lives  Jewishly."  We  of  course, 
realize  that  this  is  merely  begging  the  question;  nevertheless 
it  serves  in  the  point  we  want  to  make. 

During  the  baseball  World  Series,  several  of  our  friends 
voiced  pride  in  the  fact  that  Larry  Sherry,  hero  of  the  series, 
and  Sandy  Koufax,  also  a  member  of  the  Los  Angeles  pitching 
staff,  together  with  Barry  Latman,  a  member  of  the  Chicago 
White  Sox  pitching  brigade,  are  all  Jewish.  And,  at  many 
previous  times,  we  have  heard  prideful  pointing  to  a  Dr.  Salk, 
or  some  other  individual  who  had  made  the  headlines. 

What  we  are  about  to  say  must  not  be  considered  in 
any  way  a  reflection  on  any  of  the  individuals  we  have  named. 
As  far  as  we  know  they  may  qualify  for  our  definition  of 
being  a  Jew  by  living  Jewishly.  We  frankly  don't  know.  The 
point  we  want  to  make  is  that  to  our  way  of  thinking,  accident 
of  birth  does  not  make  a  Jew.  We  have  many  instances  of 
where  men  who  had  been  born  Jews,  by  reason  of  parentage, 
have  converted  to  other  religions.  One  that  comes  to  mind 
because  of  his  recent  death,  was  Bernard  Berenson,  noted 
internationally  as  an  art  critic.  Mr.  Berenson,  born  a  Jew, 
converted  to  Catholicism,  and  he  was  buried  with  a  special 
papal  benediction,  as  a  Catholic. 


While  we  are  on  the  subject  of  conversions,  there  are 
two  recent  instances  involving  people  in  the  limelight  who 
converted  to  Judaism  from  Christianity.  They  are  Sammy 
Davis,  Jr.,  who  was  not  only  undaunted  by  his  problems  of 
being  a  Negro,  but  of  his  own  volition  added  those  of  being 
a  Jew,  and  Hollywood  luminary  Carroll  Baker.  Both  of  these 
headliners  refused  to  work  on  Yom  Kippur  at  their  respective 
tasks,  thus  putting  to  shame  some  of  their  bosses  and  associates, 
who  were  not  so  observant. 

Getting  back  to  our  original  premise.  Let  us  hold  our 
adulation  for  those  who  are  living  as  Jews,  rather  than  having 
been  born  into  the  faith.  To  do  otherwise  would  be  setting 
false  standards. 

Watching  Germany 

German-Jewish  relationships  are  entering  a  new  stage  — 
one  that  will  require  close  and  careful  scrutiny  by  all  men 
of  good  will  who  refuse  to  forget  the  crimes  of  the  Hitler 
regime. 

This  is  the  warning  contained  in  a  report  by  Dr.  Joachim 
Prinz,  president  of  the  American  Jewish  Congress,  who  visited 
Germany  this  summer  on  a  mission  to  study  reports  of  renewed 
anti-Semitism. 

Dr.  Prinz,  who  speaks  with  authority  on  the  problem, 
warns  in  his  report  that  the  emotional  involvement  of  leaders 
like  Chancellor  Adenauer  and  retiring  President  Heuss  in 
renewing  Germany's  ties  with  the  Jewish  people  and  in  atoning 
for  Germany's  crimes  toward  the  Jews  does  not  characterize 
the  new  political  generation  now  coming  to  power.  This  new 
generation,  he  said,  has  no  interest  in  keeping  alive  any  feel- 
ing of  guilt  for  the  crimes  of  the  Nazi  regime.  In  fact,  the 
new  German  President,  Heinrich  Luebke,  has  told  Dr.  Prinz 
in  a  private  interview  in  Bonn:  "We  want  to  forget  about 
the  past  .  .  .  We  have  made  adequate  restitution  payments 
and  we  must  start  afresh,  without  looking  backward."  And 
this  from  a  man  who  himself  was  imprisoned  by  the  Nazis 
for  22  months  as  an  enemy  of  the  state. 

If  this  is  to  be  the  official  government  policy,  what  can 
the  world  expect  from  the  overwhelming  majority  of  the  Ger- 
man people,  in  whom  anti-Semitism  remains  a  powerful  if 
quiescent  force  not  far  beneath  the  surface?  What  action
