No. 12 �SHEVUOS "And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount •••••• and the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai ••••• -and God spoke all these words" Ex. XIX Thus the Bible records the giving of the Ten Commandments unto the Jewish people. Shevuos, known as Zman Matan Torasenu, the Season of the Giving of the Law, commemorates this great event on Mt. Sinai. Up to recent days, it was the custom for young children to be introduced to their religious studies on Shevuos, the day on which Jewish learning v,as honored. The child was brought to the Synagogue and the Ten Commandments were read to him from the Torah. From the Synagogue, he was taken to the Cheder, and as he began his first lesson, gifts of sweets were dropped upon the table. This was to teach him that the fruits of learning were sweet and pleasant. In Palestine, the ancient BIKKURIM ceremony has been revived. Shevuos, as in Bible days, is the time for the celebration of the gathering of the grain, and the carrying of the first fruits in procession. In a number of cities, streets along which processions pass are decor- ated with flags, streamers, ~d greenery. Thousands of child , dressed in white, wearing garlands of flowers, are i'ollowed by adults carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables. All sing as they march, songs which are echoed by the crowds of spectators on sidewalks and verandas. Thus many of our age- old ceremonies take on new meaning and - beauty as they are celebrated once again in the land of our fathers . SUNDAY SCHOOL The closing exercises of our Religious School will be held on Sunday, June 8th, at Hackley School. Mrs. Gene Berman, Sisterhood president, will distribute awards for attendance, while Ur. Samuel Klayf 1 president of the congregation, will make the presentations to the outstanding students of each class. We acknowledge with thanks a contribution to our Library Fund by Max Ashendorf, in sacred memory of his father, Samuel Ashendorf.

The first omer was brought to the Temple on the second day of Passover, and for seven weeks thereafter. On the 50th day, the Festival of Shevuos Each _day of the was celebrated. cycle was counted and this custom became known as the Counting of the Omer. B 1NAI B'RITH PROJECT The most ambitious project in history of our local B'nai B'rith lodge has just been undertaken. The members and officers, under the capable chairmanship of Louis Berman, and spurred by the desire to see our House of Worship completed before the High Holy Days, are attempting to raise a substantial sum of money in connection with their annual family picnic on August 10th. A new 1947 Plymouth sedan will be this year's prize awarded at the drawing during the Picnic. Thousands of tickets have already been distributed to B1 nai B'rith members and friends. The fund raising opportunities of this project are unlimited; the cooperation of the community will determine its measure of success. The 33rd day of the omer, or Lag B'Omer, has a special place in the Jewish calendar as a children's outdoor festival. During the Roman oppression of Palest~ne, after the destruction of the Second Temple, the study of the Torah was strongly forbidden. Many Rabbis continued to teach the law, and for this uere tortured and put to death. Legend has it that Rabbi Simeon Bar Yochai escaped and lived in a cave for thirteen years, and on each Lag B'Omer day, thousands of pupils, dressed as hunters, with bow and arrow, would come to his cave to receive instruction. Thus was the Jewish religion kept alive through the study of the Torah. YOUTH REPORTS Barbara Lawson and Bernard Steindler have returned from the Central States Leadership Institute imbued with great enthusiasm and bursting with ideas for the youth of our community. They will be given an opportunity to report in brief at next Friday's service on what they saw and heard in Detroit last week. To introduce their remarks and in honor of National Family Week, Rabbi Satlow will deliver a sermonette entitled "What are We Doing for our Youth?" In Palestine today, boys and girls carry on the tradition of Lag B'Omer by having field days and picnics in park and country.

Passover celebrates the most important event in all Je_v .ish history. It bas been observed continuously by our people for over 3000 years. This, the greatest holiday in our calendar, commemorates the Exodus from the House of Bondage and marks the birth of the Jewish Nation. Much has happened in our communal life during these two years; much remains to be done in the year that lies ahead. This Friday evening, Rabbi Satlow will preach an Anniversary sermon, 1:what the Rabbi Expects of His Community .11 The entire community is invited to the Service and the Reception following at the home of the Rabbi. OUR THANKS We hereby thank all those who helped make the Sisterhood Purim Supper such a wonderful success, exceeding every expectation . Sisterhood has thus been enabled to carry on its fine religious work in our community. May they go on from strength to strength. We Acknowledge with Thanks A contribution to our Library Fund by Mrs. Harold Silverman in sacred memory of her mother Bertha Levine. The Seder ceremony in the home is the high point of the festival. The story of freedom is retold in the reading of the Haggadah which opens with four questions asked by the youngest member present. These four questions point out the uniqueness of tte food and ritual of the Seder, and in the answer that follows, the great story of freedom is retold in dramatic fashion. Although the greatest war against slavery was ended a year and a half ago, most of .the peoples of the world are still enslaved. It is our hope that the prayers embodied in the Hagaddah will soon be realized, so that all men may enjoy the blessings of peace and freedom. WE PRAY FOR THE RECOVERY OF Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Rose Berman Ludwig Darmstadter Tillie Jacobs Jacob Klitzner Mr. Jacob Baum Mr. Sam Sneidman May God send His he~ling speedily unto all those who lie upon the couch of illness! �CHILDREN'S SEDER 'mmodel e Religious School will conduct a Seder this Sunday morning, March JOth, at 10:30 o'clock in the small gymnasium of the YMCA. The entire group has been prepared to sing the Seder songs and participate in the Ritual. Rabbi and Mrs. Satlow have revised their simplified Seder ritual to enable each child to participate in the program. This demonstration Seder will serve to acquaint our children with the manner in which the Service should be conducted and will prepare them to take part intelligently in their family Seders on Passover night. A TRIBUTE Twenty-seven years ago, Sam ·and Esther Grossman came to Muskegon. During this time they became an integral part of the Jewisli community. Mr. Grossman served as president of B'nai B.'rith, while Mrs . Grossman headed Sisterhood as its president. Both have always been interested and active in every facet of Jewish and civic endeavors . re deeply appreciate their loyalty and constancy at our services v:eek after vreek . We pray that God may grant them much happiness and good health as they go from Muskegon to make their home in Detroit. SISTERHOOD "TEA HADASSAH Hadassah chapters throughout the land have been sending garments , and linens to supply the hospttals of Palestine. However, during the past few years, due to the problems of supply and shipping, many local chapters have made offerings of silver in place of the supplies. At the next Hadassah meeting on April 14th, the silver offering for Palestine Supplies wil-1 be collected. This will be forwarded to pur·1ase the necessary supplies for he Palestine Health ·Program. Marcy Locke has arranged a program dramatizing the work of PALESTINE SUPPLIES. A farewell tea honoring Mrs. Sam Grossman, a devoted Sisterhood member, will be held at our next Sisterhood meeting on Tuesday evening, April 1st. Esther Grossman has been a faithful contributor of food to our SOS c~llection each and every month since the call was first issued. While shopping for food, · for her family, she never failed to remember that others were desperately in need. In her honor, and in response to the appeal for overseas supplies for the DP camps, all members are urged tp bring candles, sewing supplies and canned goods to this meeting. �YOUR RABBI IN THE COMMUNITY Rabbi and Mrs. Satlow were hosts last Thursday evening to a group of foreign exchange students en~olled at Michigan State College. These young people from China, Turkey, Egypt and a number of Central and South .American countries, were intensely interested in Jewish problems and plied the Rabbi with many questions concerning Jews and Judaism. ********~*¼** On Sunday evening, March 23rd, your Rabbi was the guest speaker at the evening Vesper Service of the combined youth groups of Central Methodist Church and John Wesley A.M.E.

From earliest times · the Purimspiel (Purim Plays) and masquerades added to the frivolity of the day. Our Library continues to grow thru the generosity of its friends. This was also the season of sending gifts to friends and to the poor • • The Book of Esther, the Megillah read in the Synagogue, is t he best known of all the books of the Bible. Many circumstances have combined to make it so. First, it is simple, popular and dramatic. The story is exciting with the charaeters clearly drawn: heroine, hero and villain. Above all, there is a perennial truth in its narrative. Haman has become t he prototype of all the many persecutors of the Jewish people, and his plot, the standard of all schemes devised against the Jews. The drama of his downfall has been a hope and refuge for all suffering people in all ages. In fact, it is a Book which exemplifies, vividly and concisely, the eternal miracle of Jewish survival. This Friday evening, Rabbi Satlow will devote his sermon to the modern story of Purim and its message for us today. We list below a number of additional titles of the books recently purchased: Palestine Jews in Palestine, by A. Revusky To 1Thom Palestine? Frank Gervasi Letters from the Desert, Mosenson Soldiers from Judea, Rabinowitz Harvest in the Desert, Maurice Samuel Lifeline to a Promised Land, Hirschmann Jewish Problems The Jew in Our Day, v·aldo Frank A Partisan Guide to the Jewish Problem, Milton Steinberg A Nation of Nations, Louis Adamic Must Men Hate?, Livingstone Art A History of Jewish Art, Landsberger The Book of Ruth, Raban Religion The Legacy of Israel, Abrahams Judaism and Christianity, Rosmarin Conservative Judaism, Gordis Varieties of Religious Experience, James - WE ACKNOWLEDGE WITH THANKS A contribution to our Library Fund from Mrs. Harold Silverman on the occasion of the Yahrzeit of her dearly beloved father, Samuel Levine �PURIM SUPPER COMMUNITY NIGHT ast year's Purim carnival proved so successful, that Sisterhood decided to enlarge its scope &nd make it the only fund-raising event of the year.

THIEVES IN THE NIGHT The aftermath of this war as brought unrest and upheaval to many parts of tte world. Men are confused and are in search of a positive answer to the problems of life. The trend in literature today is evidence of this quest for certainty, through mysticism and religion. Such books as "The Razor's Edge", "The Song of Bernadette", ••wasteland", and "Peace of Mind", are only a few that attest to the restlessness of our age. In Palestine, that much contested tiny corner of the globe, some of our brethren in trying to find their solution, have lost faith in persuasion and have become converts to the use of force. "Thieves in the Night" by .t,rthur Koestler has been a consistent best seller for many weeks. It is the exciting story of a group of young colonists in Palestine . From start to finish it grips the imagination of the reader as it states the case of salvation through violence. Rabbi Satlow will review this book from the pulpit next Friday evening, February 28th . Welcome to Mr.Leon Gross, formerly of France and Switzerland. May you find peace and happiness in America ! �TENPLE LIBRARY ~ are happy to announce that we have already secured a substantial number of books for our New Temple Library.

Sunrise and sunset, promise and fulfillment, birth and death-- the whole drama of humanity -- are contained in this one book. It is the Book of Books~ The Jews may readily be consoled at the loss of Jerusalem, and the Temple, and the Ark of the Covenant, and all the crown jewels of King Solo;:ion. Such forfeiture is as naught when weighed agai.nst the Bible, the imperishable treasure that they have saved. If I do not err, it was Moham.~ed who nar.ied the Jews the "People of the Book," a name which in Ea.stern countries has rema ined theirs to the present dayi and is deeply significnnt. That one book is to the Jews their country. Within the well-fenced boundaries of that book they live and h&ve their being; they enjoy their inalienable citizenship, are strong to admiration, thence none can dislodge them. Absorbed in the perusal of their sacred book they little heeded the changes that were wrought in the real uorld around them. Nations rose and vanished, States flourished and decayed, revolutions raged throughout the earth-- but they, the Jews, sat pouring over this book, unconscious of the wild chase of time that rushed on above their heads. --Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856.

It commemorates the occasion, graphically portrayed in the Book of Esther, when a beautiful woman , strong in her faith in God, and filled with love for her people, won out over the evil designs of Haman, ,~ho had schemed to exterminate all the Jevis then living in the lands of Persia. The high point of the festiv ~l t akes place in the Synagogue with the reading of the Pu~im Hegillah, or Book of Esther. It is customary for the entire family to come to the Synagogue on the eve of ?urim to hear the story tol-d. The ?urim seudah is a popular fe atu,,..e of the day , for families and friends gather at the festive t able to ea t, drink, and be merry . The haffic,ntash, filled viith poppyseeds or prunes , is the typical delicacy, for its three-corners portray the shape of the hat worn by Haman, the wicked vizier of Persia . Another delightful custom is the masquerading of children in the characters of the Purim story, and their participa tion in the PurimShpiel .

Yet the process of education through vihich we prepare our children for life has failed to train them for democratic living. The Constitution of the s e United States sets forth certain fundamental principles .~hich guarantee t he right to freedom of r eligi on, of speech, of the press, the right of ass embly and to trial by jury of every American. It is painfully evident that certain tendencies and prejudices are abroad in this land, ·which if unchecked, will eventually foster the spread of fascism and curtail these fundamental rights to minority groups·• In 1939, in the City of Springfield, 1iass., the superintendent of schools appointed a committee of teachers, principals and supervisors to study the problems of intergroup and citizenship education. This group was to plan an organized program to develop the ·w ork already begun by individual teachers. Five years · of progress have been reported, and is now nationally known as the "Springfield Plan. 11 Many communities have adapted this plan to their own needs and local conditions. What is the Springfield plan? On Friday evening we will discuss this plan end it3 value to Muskegon. BROTHERHOOD WEEK The week of Washington's birthday, Feb. 17-24, has been.set a side as Brotherhood Week. Pres. ~ Truman, in proclaiming this national observance stated: 11 1 hope that in every community throughout the country our people will ~eet together to rejoice in the greatness of the · la.rid which belongs to all of us, and to pledge ourselves to the continuance of that loyalty which will unite our country as the leader of peace and the happy home of all our citizens. 11 Brotherhood Week is sponsored annually by the National . Conference of Christians ahd J ev,s, which this year has designated the theme: "In Peace as in War Teamwork". For the first time in the hist ory of Muskegon, Brotherhood Week will be celebrated throughout all its school.sin the form of assembly programs and class discussions. · The Rev. Mr. Wm. B.

Friday, Feb. 22nd 6:45 - 7 o'clock �AMERICAN JEWISH CCNFERENCE In 1943 a call was issued for American Jewish Conference. Representatives of every national organization, together with selected delegates from all sections of the country, assembled in N.Y. in August of that year. At that time, American J eviry united to anticipate the war's end and the peace conferences to follov1. We had learned from the unhappy experiences at the end of the last war, when competing organizations appeared before the Allies, each claiming to represent American Jewry. The First Conference dealt with questions pertaining to rescue of European Jewry, Palestine, and post-war El,U'opean problems. The Third Session will .be held in Cleveland from Feb. · 17-19. The work of the Conference will include the discussion of the 104 page report of .the Interim Committee's activities during 1945, pla.~s for the future, and the place within it of the American Jewish Conference. The war is ended, but the peace conferences are yet to take place~ The Anglo-American Palestine Commission is nearing the end of its investigations. This Commission must be impressed with the democratic and authoritative J Awish opinion on the vital issues 'olved in its investigations. Rabbi Satlow is making plans to attend this historic conference. LIBRARY FUND Our new House of Worship is now in the process of becoming a reality, and ,vi th the help of God, will be built this , year. In preparation for the maxim.um functioning of our building & its facilities, a new Library F~d has been established. This fund will furnish popular studies in · Jewish literature, philosophy, and history, as well as juvenile fiction for circulation in our Religious School. In addition, contemporary novels and books on current problems affecting J ev11ish life will be purchased with the proceeds of this fund. We welcome the participation of our community in building the library, on the occasion of a birthday, anniversary or memorial. These volumes will · be appropriately inscribed with the names of the donors and the occasions. We acknowledge with thanks the generous contribution of Mr. & Mrs. Chas.

This growth in numbers has been accompanied by an extensive and intensive expansion of the program of communal activities. It" had become increasingly apparent with ..the passa.ge of year's that our old Synagogue ouilding could no longer serve our religious educational and .social need.s. Our Sunday School has been forced to meet at the Hackley Public School,·our daily Hebrew School at the home of Mrs. Teles, its instructor, while the High Holy Days had to be observed in the Auditorium of the Woman's Club • . Our affiliate groups and communal organizations had grown correspondingly and could no longer meet in the various homes and have been convening at the Hotel or Woman's Club. A number of farsighted individuals headed by Leo Rosen, met four years ago to plan for the expansion of our facilities. With the cesse.tion of hostilities and the restoration of peace, vie are now prepared to begin the actual construction of our nevi and beautiful House of. Worship. 1 At the Dinner on Wednesday night an illuminated model in miniature of our building viill be on display.

With a shaky "national unity" government, both Labor and Likud may of ten require Orthodox-block support for their own political agendas, and the Orthodox parties have not hesitated to make far-reaching demands which would impose Orthodox practices and values on an unwilling secular population. Three of the four Orthodox parties have demanded that the Law of Return be amended. This would exclude from its provisions Reform and Conservative converts. Such a step would, in effect, deny the validity of non-Orthodox Judaism in the Diaspora, and would therefore alienate American Jewry and threaten worldwide Jewish unity. ARZA, the Association of Reformed Zionists in America, is working with the UAHC to create a broad coalition of national Jewish organizations to oppose the amendment. It is even more important to organize a massive, grass-roots, protest by Reform Jews and Reform congregations throughout the country. Such a protest will continue to demonstrate to Israel's leaders the broad opposition to any changes in the Law of Return in the American Jewish community, making it easier for both parties to resist the t e mptations of a any co-ali tion with t he ultra-Orthodox. LAW RETURN Please also note that the Orthodox parties may choose to push for adoption of the Rabbinic Courts Bill, instead of a direct Law of Return amendment. This would give Orthodox Rabbinical Courts the right to accept or reject Reform and Conservative converts. This is even worse than a change in the Law of Return, since, in addition to having the same effect on immigration, it would vastly increase the power of the Orthodox courts. Your help is needed, the following are suggestions for action: 1. The Temple Board may pass a resolution, and mail or cable it to both Yitzhak Shamir and Shimon Peres. 2. Institute a letter writing campaign, include Sisterhood, B'nai Brith, and Temple Youth. 3. On any trips to Israel, raise the Law of Return issue at every opportunity. Contact Rabbi Alpert for further information. Please see the "Digest" section for more on this subject. �JEWISH[M]OlJ@C(\~@@~ Congregation B'nal Israel Muskegon, Michigan Robert Scolnik President Alan Alpert Rabbi During the first week of December 1988, the Greek government freed a suspected Palestinian terrorist, and returned him to Libya, home of Abu Nidal, a terrorist group suspected of numerous atrocities. Ira Socol Editor Osama Abdel al-Zomar, an alleged Abu Nidal member, is accused in connection with a 1982 grenade attack on Rome's main Synagogue, in which a two-year-old boy was killed and -3 4 others injured. Rather than extradite al-Zomar to Italy, Greece sent him home to Libya. I read with interest the letter in the November Temple bulletin regarding pagers being brought to services during the High Holy Days. It seems that every year after the holidays there are complaints about something which transpired. In recent years it was children being brought to services and the claim that they were disruptive. My personal feeling is that I enjoy seeing the children in the services, as it shows me that the Jewish religion has a future. Greece's Justice Minister, Vassilis Rotis, explained that al-Zomar' s attack was "part of a struggle to obtain the independence of his homeland, and constitutes, consequently, an act of freedom." Rotis went on to compare the Palestinian terrorists to the Greek "sabateurs" who fought against the Nazi occupation of their homeland. Such a comparison is, of course, a grave insult to the Greek resistance. Their attacks were on militarily significant targets, not on little children. LETTERS When it comes to pagers, I am required to carry one. As part of my job I oversee the investigation di vision of the ( Norton Shores) Police Department, and so must be notified of any major case. My pager is turned down enough so that if it goes off only those immediately around me will hear it. I suppose that I could, as the writer suggested, take vacation time, but since I earn only a certain number of days per year, I don't consider this a viable option. The only other al terna ti ve I can see for those of us required to carry pagers, even when we are not actually working, is to stop attending services. I don't care for this solution, but if enough members feel that pagers should not be brought to services, this is what I would do. I would appreciate hearing from other members and finding out their feelings regarding this matter. -William C. Reed It would seem to me that anyone planning a trip to Greece may want to reconsider spending their money in a nation whose government considers the murderers of children as heros. (Based, in part, on an article in the Wall Street Journal, 12/13/88) -Les Schick Dear Rabbi Alpert: Thank you so very much for taking time out of · your busy schedule to welcome our Senior Citizen Group to your synagogue. It was definitely an enriching cultural experience for them and it fostered an understanding of a faith other than their own. Your patience, clarity of speech, and friendliness was greatly appre~iated. Congratulations on your Centennial Celebration! It is an outstanding event, and one in which the entire Muskegon community takes pride. -Patricia Pehrson Senior Citizen Coordinator Orchard View Schools �Jewish Community Authors by Shirley Rapoport In October I attended a conference of American and Israeli writers in Berkeley, California. Sponsored by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture, the conf~rence was a book lover's heaven. I saw and spoke to Amos Oz, Amos Elon, Cynthia Ozick, Max Apple, Irving Howe, Hugh Nissenson, Ted Solataroff, Johanna Kaplan, and many others. The fur began to fly almost immediately as liberal Israeli writers attacked the views of conservative American authors. Amos I lon, who thunders like Winston Churchill, scolded Cynthia Ozick for telling the press that Anton Shammas should not be writing in Hebrew. Shammas is an Israeli born Palestinian, whose excellent novel Arabesques, has recently been published in translation ( Harper & Row). Shammas told Ozick he felt like he was sit ting at the bot tom of a well and she was sit ting on the cover. Ozick apologized. Grand Rapids-born Max apple, nephew of our • own beloved Joe Simon, looks and talks like Woody Allen. He has written several books (I highly recommend The Oranging of America). Max said he owes his success to his grandmother who told him countless Yiddish stories. He told me that hed had been in our Temple with his Uncle, and knew the story of how Rabbi weingarten got Joe Simon to give him our small Torah. Amos Oz is sort of an Israeli Robert Redford, handsome and articulate, · but he gave the wrong speech. He told us all to go live in Israel, because what we have in the U.S. is a "museum." He thinks we need the live drama, "the perpetual struggle, the sound and fury," of modern Israel. I wanted to hear about his books, particularly Lri the Land of Israel, about the Sephardic Jews and their alienation from the Israeli mainstream . Thank you for the lovely cards and friendly visits. Special thanks to Rabbi Alpert and the ladies who helped while I was confined. -Lillian Chevlin HADASSAH from Ruth Oppenheimer The Jewish National Fund has increased the price of Tree Cert if ica tes to $ 7. 0 0, as of January 1, 1989.

Please join Rabbi Alpert in helping to keep the memory of Dr. King alive. ERRATA The picture in the "Chronicles" section of the December issue was incorrectly captioned. It depicted Bob Scolnik presenting Abie Ashendorf with a UJA certificate of achievement. The editor apologizes for the mistake. Ted Solotaroff, an editor at Harper & Row, thalked about Philip Roth, especially the second chapter of his recent book The Counter life. Roth's Israeli character says, "In the Diaspora a Jew like you lives securely, while we are living just the kind of imperiled existence that we came here to replace ••. We are th e excited, ghettoized, jittery Jews of the Diaspora, and you are the Jews with all the confidence and cul ti va tion that comes of feeling at home where you are." I left the conference with my head :=:pinning, full of ideas, books, :=i. uthors. I also felt sorry for ·~yn thia Ozick, all of whose books I ··e commend. �JEWISH~l\!J@l¼§@@OO~~=~================== THE WALL STREET JOURNAL TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 19&8 Israel's Orthodox Have Biblical Blueprint Shabbos Visit Gives Insight Into Religious Parties By GERALDINt; BROOKS Staff Reporter of THE w AL L STRE l!:T J O URNAL JERUSALEM - Friday afternoon in Kiryat Mattersdorf.

At the top of Panim Meirot Street, iron gates will clang shut, closing off traffic and sealing out, for 24 hours at least, the 20th century. Orthodox Demands In the new Knesset, or par liament, 18 of 120 seats will be held by Orthodox parties, giving them potential make-or-break power over Israel's government. Just after the elections, both the Likud bloc and the Labor Party tried to win Orthodox support to enable one or the other to form a ruling coalition. But the price the Orthodox par· ties tried to exact has driven Labor and Li· kud back into talks aimed at forming an· other "national unity" government, which would eliminate the need to include the re· ligious parties. · What the Orthodox parties are seeking is an Israel that acknowledges only Ortho· dox· religious conversions, that limits abor· lions, gives more funds to religious institutions and shuts down sports events and ·movies on the Sabbath.

The caller said the church's boiler had burst, it couldn't be fixed in time for the event, could he help? Bennett, the pastor of Mt. Zion Church of God in Christ, said he could, and called Father Martin Archer at St. Mary's. Father Archer said, "I'll tell you what. Let me turn on the heat and make sure it works." It did, and the two-day sytnposium, sponsored by the West Shore Churches, went off on schedule that night at St. Mary's. Celebrating Jews The effotts of the Christian clergymen in relocating the event has become for residents of Muskegon a symbol of an astounding outpouring of cooperation on the tiny Jewish community's I 00th anniversary. SO Events Muskegon's Jewish Centennial Celebration, which began in September with a concert by violinist Itzhak Perlman, will include over 50 individual events before it concludes next May. The city's 14 major cultural, educational and religious organizations are sponsoring programs, including museum exhibits, concerts, plays, lectures and a final gala trip to Israel lir.d Egypt. This month, 30,000 school-children are expected to take part in assemblies that celebrate the religions of the world. Organizers are already calling the centennial celebration a model for community-wide activities around the country. All of which raises a question: with only 87 Jewish famil ies in a county population of 150,000, why Muskegon? First Jew It began back in the 1860s, when the first Jew in Muskegon was a Polish immigrant and clothing peddlar named Israel Goldman. The small Jewi sh business community that he pioneered held its first religiou s service in 1888, and formed its first congregation, with an Orthodox service, m 1902. The Jewish community continued to increase into the 1950s, when 150 families, many of them leaders in the community, lived in Muskegon. Although there has never been more than one synagogue at a time in the city, Muskegon's Jews had gradually embraced Reform by the time the present Temple B'nai Israel was built in 1948. "We're asking the same question: 'Why Muskegon?' " said Rabbi Alan Alpert of B"nai Israel. Working Together "I think the community saw that they could unite over the centennial . Perhaps it's because the Jewish communit) had figured prominently in terms of the arts, and business. There's a pretty good feeling between Jews and non-Jews." "I think people really responded to working together as they never had before," said Sylvia Kaufman; chairperson of the centennial committee. "And when the public sees that cooperation, its something for us all to take pride in." Kaufman said the idea for the celebration first came up three years ago, when she saw an exhibition on Jewish life in Grand Rapids and thought, "we can do better." Despite all the good feeling generated by the centennial, there are still memories of anti-Semitism in Muskegon-the real estate "covenants" restricting sales to Jews, the country clut, that banned Jews from membership. But residents say it has been 30 years since any incidents of discrimination, and curiosity has replaced resentment as the dominant feeling toward Jews. As the Muskegon Chronicle editorialized in a special section dedicated to the centennial, "Being a Jew in Muskegon-or a member of the other smaller religious sects, is not as eas) as it could be in a larger metropolitan area . "Thus, the triumph of the Muskegon's Jewish community is that it has persevered. indeed thrived, in the face of odds that might crush other groups." · The daily newspaper may slip sometimes and refer to Jews as a "sect," but, according to Rabbi Alpert, "It's still mindboggling. This has generated more enthusiasm, from all of us. than we ever really expected." ZOA PRES IDENT SAYS APOLOGISTS FOR TERRORISTS DO NOT SPEAK FOR AMERICAN JEWS. ' NEW YORK, NEW YORK - December 7, 1988 - "The five American Jews who met with the t errorist chief, Yasir Arafat, denigrated themselves and the organizations in which they have assumed active leadership roles," stated Milton S. Shapiro, President of the Zionist Organization of America. Shapiro, Said "They contemptuously disregarded the position of the United States which correctly and courageously rejects giving Arafat credibility. Their action is an affront to the total community, especially since the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations only rec ently went on record urging American Jews not to· meet with Arafat . They have violated the memories of the victims of terrorism and the Holocaust. �5749 PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION 1989 • • JA SUNDAY 1 24 TEVET M 2Kl Tick Avai Walk and NEW YEAR'S DAY 8 RELIGIOUS 9 SCHOOL 2 SHEVAT 10-12 January 19 - February 26, 1989 Muskegon Museum of Art .Exhibitions in Celebration of the 1988-89Jewish Centennial Photographers arrived in the Holy Land in 1839, within a few months of the birth of the medium. The first photographers were Europeans, mostly Frenchmen and Englishmen. They were also Christian, as were the Armenians who soon became the Orient's indigenous photographers. OrthodoxJews and Moslems, forbidden to create "graven images," entered this new field later in the century. Both painters and photographers often encountered hostile natives who objected to the reproduction of the h~man form. Of special interest are the many photographs in the exhibition signed "Bonfils," taken between 1867 and the end of the 19th century. Felix Bonfils, a Frenchman, settled with his family in Beirut. Four years after he began working in the Orient, the prolific Felix wrote to the French Photographic Society that he was planning to submit to it prints from Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Greece. "My proofs are principally pictures ofJerusalem and various panoramas. The collection I have put together consists of 15,000 prints and 9,000 stereoscopic views. My negatives number 591..." It is fitting that the largest number of· 'Then'' photographs in this exhibit come from the Semitic Museum's Bonfils collection. In 1898 Adrien Bonfils wrote that in "...this land, unique among all ... already in the ancient Plain of Sharon one hears the whistle of the locomotive... Before progress has completely done its destructive job...we have tried, so to speak, to fix and immobilize it in a series of photographic views .. .'' Other photographers in the exhibition include Francis First, a greengrocer from Liverpool, who traveled to the Orient several times in the 1850's and began to mass-produce photographs which were eagerly sought as souvenirs and collected in the West by armchair explorers. Sergeant James McDonald arrived in 1864 with Captain Charles W. Wilson of the Royal British Engineers to conduct the Ordnance Survey of]erusalem. McDonald's 54 photographs "in and around the city" were published with the survey. 15 SCHOOL 9SHEVAT 2pm OPENING JEWISH LIFE EXHIBITS, MMA and County Museum. 1€ MARTIN BIRTHD 22 RELIGIOUE 2~ SCHOOL 10-12 16SHEVAT NOON:CHILDREN PAINT JERUS'M MMA 29 RELIGIOU: 3( 23SHEVAT SCHOOL 10-12 '-.

Accompanied by pocket-sized copies of " then" images, which I had made in order to help select the best vantage point for my "now" p hotograp hs, I began to photograph in Israel in the summer of 1981. I thought I was fully prepared for the experience of re-capturing the 19th century views. Yet, I had not realized the excitement of searching out and finding the sites, and encountering the variations on the "then and now" theme. Some of these places had changed dramatically, the location identifiable only by a unique structure or the topography of the surrounding land. Others had changed so little that I caught myself almost confusing the ''now '· with the " then," feeling at times as if I were transferred back to the 19th century. 8 SHEVAT 14 8 pm KLEZMER at MCC THE HOLY LAND: THEN & CLASS & LUNCH NOW, at MMA by Ruth Oppenheimer at Temple LUTHER KING 'S ,Y CELEBRATED 17 SHEVAT WEDNESDAY Jewish Centennial Celebration M 5 6 12 13 19 20 26 27 Daniel Tassel, Photographer T W T F S 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 16 17 18 21 22 23 24 25 28 �SISTERHOOD JEWISHrMlM@~@@OO An open board meeting is 3cheduled for: Wednesday, January 4, at 6 p.m, at the Holiday Inn.

Klezmer might be likened to a mixture of ragtime and Jewish folk music, with a bit of Dixieland thrown in . By the 19th century, Klezme r music had become a well-developed musical style, taking its inspiration not only from the synagogue, but from the non-Jewish culture that surrounded it. In America, immigrant Jewish musicians adapted this music to the new rhythms and instruments they found, creating new Klezmer forms. Until the 1940's, Klezmer music flourished, but with new styles of music coming on the scene, Klezmer tradition faded. A Klezmer revival is in full swing, with the Klezmer Conservatory Band playing a prominent role. The Boston Globe has said of the band, "Klezmer may become the hottest musical revival to come out of Boston since the resurrection of Scott Joplin a decade or so ago." The Klezmer Conservatory Band , under the direction of Hankus Netsky, is a 15 piece ensemble comprised primarily of Jewish musicians from Boston's New England Conservatory of Music. Mr. Netsky, the saxophone playing founder of the band, is a former instructor at the Conservatory. The Washington Post applauded the band's "technical finesse and musical soul," saying "They made the ir listeners revel in and dance to a music well worth reviving and enhancing ." The program is sponsored by Congregation B'nai Israel as another of the many special events of the Muskegon Jewish Centennial Celebration.

There are only about 1,000 Jews in Soviet Armenia, and most were not affected because they live in cities only slightly shaken.

Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either •h e himself, or his son, or his son's, son, may be brought down to the same lowly slate. Nor let it e nter his mind to say "How can l give to the poor and thus l-e ssen my possessions?"

This means that he c.annot very well live isolated from his brother man. As a matter of fact, for his full growth and development, h e needs so_ciety. By the s3:me token, man is obligated to society. He has duties to perform for its welfare. In a wo,r d, the individual and society is a "give and take" affair. A proper understanding of society drives home the m essage, that in a way we are related to each other and that we are our !brother's keeper. Being our brother's keeper implies giving of ourselves and of our means to tho.se who need us and whom we can help morally or financially. Right now, the U.J.C. drive is on. This drive represents the cry of our brother in need. By extending our help in accordance with our ability, we shall ,be discharging a moral •o bligation to society without which our existence. is almost inconceivable. I might add that the genuine joy which comes from giving to others and sacrifices for o,t her,s cannot be realized from anything else which promises true sterling joy. Rabbi Samuel Umen. EXCERPTS FROM U.J.C. ADDRESS BY HAROLD ROSEN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1949 I am not going to appeal to your sympathy, nor have I any bouquets. or thank-yous for what has been don e in the past. If you were honest with yourself in g iving, the pleasure and satisfaction that you received from your own contribution was a grie;ater reward than any words of praise or public acclamation that I might attempt to offer. I am too practical a man and too mu ch of a realist to take any stock in such remarks a s "give till it hurts". Many times in the past that statement has been thrown at us at these m eetings. I kn,o,w that nobody enjoys being hurt. We give because it d oes good-because it makes u s feel good. We give because there is a genuine pleasure in helping the less fortunate . We give because our conscience di ctates the impulse and we e-n joy that ,g rand and glorious feeling of bigness and worthiness of ,being a free and independent individual, capable of giving. That is why we give and I do not believe there is any better reason. EXCERPTS FROM UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES ADDRESS BY HARRY A. FISHER SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1949 While we are here in America an d the State of Israel happe ns to be across the ocean thousands of miles from u s, in the end. and let us not forget it eve1n for a moment, in th ei end, our own fate and that of our brethren in Israel are linked and welded together a s one. It would be the greatest misfortune upon our pf1ople in Israel and ourselves in America, if we at this uncertain and unpredictable and precarious moment of our history shut our eyes, our minds and our hearts to their need. T he J ews of America helped create the J ewish State. We poured our fortunes into it with the hopes that our persecuted brethren may have a hio,m e and co uld li v'€t as free mein even as you and I. To forsake this new-born child, to shirk and shake off the responsibility would not only 1be a deathblow to this infant, but it would serve as a. b!oomerang against the Jews in America. Muskegon Jewry stood by our pe,o ple always. Muskegon J ewry has a reputation of doing its share. I know that he gifts tonight will be typical of the kind heart a:nd lib eral hand of this fimy J"ewish ,c ommuinity. Speaking in t he name of our p~\ople I say in their behalf, answer tonight as you have answered so liberally in the past. May God guide u's in our work and help u s to succeed in our assignment to save through our gif1ts, lives, and a nation, a'nd the ~ood name of the good American J ewish Community as well as the good name of our own Jewish community of Muskegon. ON GIVING Some witty person on ce said, "Thel'le are 3 kiinds of givers, the flint, the sponge and the honeycomb." To get anything out of a flint yiou must hammer it, and then you get only chips and -s parks. To get water out of a sponge you must squ eeze it. and the more you squ eeze, the more you will get. But the hloneycomb just overflows with its own sweetness.-London Christian. -2- �STATE OF MICHIGAN LABOR MEDIATION BOARD LANSING November 23, 1949 NOELP.

GoV'eirnor Williams and I were most grateful to you for gracing our banquet with your presence. The Governor feels that he has a new-found, genuine friend in you, and I knoVI'. I have. If at any time we cain be of service, please call upon us. Very truly yours, NOEL P . FOX HADASSA H Hadassah <pledged its fullest support to the 1949-50 U.J:C. drive. Hadassah's calling squad worked a&Siduously in inviting the members of the Congregation B'nai Isra~l and its_ own members to attend the U.J.C. dmner which was arranged ~nd prepared by this o_r~anization. . If eveiry one was in a wonderful spirit on the mght of the U.J.C. dinner, it was in no small measure due to the delicious dinner which everyone enjoyed. ('The · old saying is "You can win a man's heart through his stomach.") Hadassah members might be interested to know that Gloria Grossman is planning to give a 10 week course tn Leadership Training. The time and date of the course will be announced shortly. At its paid-up membership supper in January, Hadassah hopes to have a special entertainil'!g program of movies etc. Mrs. Martha Sharp will be the speaker at the Hadassah Donor_ Dinner sometime in April. Mrs. Sharp, the wife of ;~ Unitarian Minister and an outstanding speaker appeared in Muskegon before and those who have been privileged to hear her, are anxiously looking forward to her return engagement here. Mrs. Ted Neumer, President VIEWPOINT The man got his ailing friend as far as the doctor's door, but there the patient balked. Patient: I'm a little leery about going in there." Friend: "Nonsense, this is one of the best doctors in the country." Patient: "Maybe so, but I don't like the odds he offers. Look on his door there-10 to 1." HA V E YOU HEARD THIS ONE ? One of the busiest men in Israel today is Brigadier Yechezkel Sachar, the Chief of Police. His job is twofold: first to build up an effective police force and then; to get the puiblic to like it. And while the Bri,g adier is busy with executive duties, his assistants are occupied interviewing likely candidates for the force. One :Such candidate was a young Scotsman, an RAF veteran, whio had left his native hearth to take part in the fight for I srael' s freedom. Having been discharged from the air force, he c¥e.j(!ided to stay in the new country and try a police career. He passed the written examination and now faced an interviewer. "What would you do," he was asked, "if you ha.d to dispe;1:se a crowd?" The Scotsman smiled. "I don't know what I'd do here in Tel Aviv," he drawled, "but if I were home in Edinburgh, I'd pass around the hat." EVENTS OF INTEREST ISRAEL has been admitted to the 1952 Olympic Gam0:5 by the Olympics executive committee meeting in Paris. The first official international ski team from Israel will be 1 entered in the Alpine evemts of the 1950 world ski championships at Aspen, Colorado. JEFFERSON MILITARY College, in Mississippi, r efused a $50,000,000 endowment from George W. Armstrong, who offered the gift on condition that the school "teach and disse,min ate" principles of "white supremacy." (See editorial in this issue.) THE TOTAL NUMBER of Jewish immigrants who arrived in the U. S. since the beginning of operations under the DP Act of 1948 is over 25,000 of the 100,000 DP's who have reached these shores under the Act. CONDEMNING "scare reports" about Israel, Dr. Eli Davis, director of the Hadassah medical organization in Israel, declared in New York that "not a single epidemic has marred the, general health record of the Jewish state despite the influx of 300,000 destitute, starved and illtreated immigrants, most of them from Arab lands." GREECE'S amti-Israel press campaign has reached a new peak with the publication ,of a letter in the Social Democratic newspaper Ethnos from the "secretary of the Greek Community of Jerusalem" charging the Israel Governm ent with mistreating Greeks living in Israel. T h e letter,' which has brought bitter criticism from Jewish circles in Athelns, accuses the Israel Government of creating difficulties for Greeks who left Palestine during the war and now wish to return. The Israel co nsulate in Athens _has replied that the Greeks involved are those living iln Arab countries and in the Old City of Jerusalem. ISRAEL has asked the Swedish general post office whether it is in a position to print postage stamps for Israel. Although Sweden has no,t printed stamps for other nations, the current request is under consid~ration. THE BRITISH FILM "Oliver Twist" has been banned by the province of Quebec, Canada, on the grounds that it tends to create disunity and racial prejudice. The picture was also bann ed in s~eral European countries a'nd its showing in the U . S. and Canada has been protested by J ewish organizations. -3- �LIBRARY FUND DONORS -1 949Mr. and Mrs. Max Lebow Mr. and .Mrs. Fred Rodoff Mrs. Sarah Klein Mr. and Mrs. Jos.

McCREA November 16, 1949 Dear Ratbbi Umen and Friends: Remembering grate;fully your kind hospitality, we felt the desire to thank you again and again for the experience of worshipping with you. It is omly in knowing each other in this way, that we can hope to find lour likenesses and see how insignificant are the difference,s we may have. The whole world seems to be coming to the realization that ignorance and arrogance are our two greatest evils, and we feel that you have helped to shed some light on our ignorance. Many of us had false· or incorrect ideas about thq way you worship and we were delighted to find that we are so much in accord. One of the things we will not forget was our vist in yiour small ,c hapel, where you so carefully ex:plained the traditions of the Ark of the Covenant, the Torah, the Ete;rnal Light and the seven branch candelabra.

This source is tlJ'e, children. The httle boys and girls who are growing up now are the greatest asset the Jewish State pos3esses. The parents of the children in many cases do not have the feeling of security at this time, to transmit to their children. The duty is ours. If we want not only to help innocent children to a !normal up~bringing, but to profuct the most cherished possession of the new State we must answer in the name of the children w'ith all we ~an spare. By he~ping the children in Palestine with the pro'Per nourishmelnt, right now I mean milk, we shall not only help them to grow up as healthy individuals, but shall help preserve the health ~nd strength '.3-Ild life of the State in which they live-the Jewish State. As the voice of the child from Palestine said to us tonight-before you make your pledgel' think of yourself and your own little ones whio am so fortunate to have been spared all the bitter hardships of Europe and the present struggle in Palestine.

UNITED JEWISH APPEAL NEW YORK December 15, 1949 Rabbi Samuel Umen, Care of Temple B'nai Israel, 4th and Webster, MuskE)go n , Mich. Dear Rabbi Umen • I h~ve recently· been advised of campaign result,s m Musk~gon. _I am inf~rmed that the personal leadership which. you displayed during th e program of the campaign was mstrumental in achi.eving such gratifying results. I want you to know how grateful I am for all that you have done. It is most encouraging to be ab le to count upon leadership such as yours during this crucial period. M.Y associat~s at National Headquarters join me m expressmg- deepest appreciation and be,st 5~10 JANUARY - FEBRUARY 1950 wIShes. Sincerely, JONAH B. WISE National Chairman BROTHERHOOD knew you and you knew meIf bot!: of us could clearly see, And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine I'm sure that we• would differ less ' A n d clasp our hands in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me. Anonymous If I A VOICE My dear American Uncles: I am the voice of a 1boy from Palestine. I am 2. boy l\ke your own boy only a little differ ent. I ~ay d.1fferent, because I don't feel like a boy. I £€~1 hke an old ma.n. I have seen and lived through more than any man of eighty 01· ninety. You see, I was born hot like any ·o ther child in a home or hospital. I was born in a concentration camp during the war. Who my parents were I don'.t know. People in the camp told me differ~nt ~tones about my ·parents. Some said they escaped from the camp a\nd le-f t me behind and that some day would return to find me. So~e told me they were done to death in a gas chamber. Others tol.d me they were waiting for me in Palestine. With the':'e thoughts about my parents I grew up. My lonelmess, I leave to your imagination. When I was permitted to leave the camp, I decided to look for my parents. I wandered the face of the e;arth. I found. them not. With my loneliness, [ reached Palestme. Every door that I knocked at opened wide to me, and when I enquir ed of the good people whether they we-r e my parents each man 11Jnd woman volunteered to be my father and my mother. My search ended with one thoug~t. Palestine _is my home. The people of Palestme-my family. Every man in Palestine is J?Y father and every woman-my mother. No 1~ was not easy to adjust my thinking and my hfe for the future. Even now my adjustment is not compl~te. For Y:OU know, as good as things are, there 1s no ,s ubstitute for a father, no substitute for a mother. Besides, look at my background. Loo½: at the way I was brought up among hopele~s, cnpp~e,,d, diseased, disiplaced so uls. There 1s one thmg though, that is in my favor. I '.1m young. I have hope. In Palestine everybody 1s full of hope. We all hope that in Palestine we shall grow, prosper, live, a free life, a freedom unkno~n to any Jew anywhere in the world. And yet, with all our hope _ there is a f ear that takes ~o.ld of us from time to time. W e often ask, is ,h!s home real.ly ours? It is so weak yet, so friendless. Will. our uncles in America continue to help us? or will they forsake u s in this hour of great need. Sc, that thousands of children like myself can face life and grow up unafraid, we '1:eed the encouragement of our American relat.1ves. Maybe if I didn't have this f ear I'd feel hke ;your son at the age of 10 or 12. You my r e.lahves, can help me to a normal life. Thi~k o·f me and thousands like me and all that we went th~·ough. Then think of yourself and your own ch1l~ren. Stand up and give as a·n expression of gratitude to our God, that you and your sons were spared our experiences and that of our parents. But for th~ grace of God, it could have been your son lookmg for his parents.

For, among certain leaders whom we at times try. to see through adjectives even though s~perlat1vc in nature·, we do not always su_cceed rn the at t~pted account ·o f the man, his deeds and hi;, leadership . To undertake an account of Paul Wie,ner, the man· and th~ le~der, wo~ld be _folly on our part. We would fail miserably m our J':l~gment. Man,y recognize in Paul an unusual ability as leader. Many know Paul as a fervent a!!~ ~evo1Je.d Jew. Ma,ny know him as a self-sacnfacrng individual. Few very few hiowever, know Paul as a lover of :b~auty, the esthetic, the respector of learning, the true frien~ . Th~re are many aspects to Paul',s petr sonahty which are know1i only to a limited few. Too bad that so much of him is unknow.n to many of the people that come in contact with him. Howeyer, we are thankful to him that he- exposed ~umself to th~ community and served as President . of ou1 Temple, If we would review his accomph~hments during his administration, w_e 'Youl~ realize t~at the imprint 1of his leadership 1s his everlastrng gift to all of us. -----o----- T HE INCOMING PRESIDENT We have faith in Sam Lipman that_his term of office will be rich in ma;1y ac.con:i-phshments _o.~ a high caliber. The American Jewish commumt~ is beginning to look inwardly. As part of the great Jewish community, Muskegon Jewry and its leadership will by dint of ~ircumstances follow suit by so doing we shall discover that much is need~d and much ,c an be done for ourselves and our children on a .cultural level. We, have the facilities. We 'need the vision and encouragement from our leaders to do the job. We kno_w that the incoming President will help us to high attainm'emts and noteworthy deeds. A PERMANENT RECORD Our Golden Book is ready for use. Anything inscribed in this book, will be as permanent as a plaque or any other object resorted to, to eterl'_lalize somthing dear to us. The Golden Book 1s really several 1books in_ one. A C?nfre~ant has the opportunity of recordrng a child s birth, a_ bar mitzvah, a confirmatio,n, a w_edding, a1: an_mversary, a yahrz·e,it etc. A nomrna} co1:tr~but~on to the Temple is the price for an rnscnpt1on rn the Golden Book. OPEN SCHOOL WEEK Beginning Sunday the 15th of January until the fo llowing Sunday the 2Z.nd, our Sunday and Hebrew Schools will be open to the parents. It is hoped that both schools will be visited by the parents as Weill as by 1?embe1:s of the Congregation who h:'1-ve no_ children _rn our school but ar interested rn Jewish education. POST CONFIRMATION CLASS It is good to see several of the members of last year's confirmation class, :i;irepar~ng as teachers of our SU:nday School. This Junior Staff, as the group is known, arranged a lov'eily Thanksgiving party for our Sunday School. If the party can be taken as an indication of what the Junior Staff can do, then we can hopefully look forward to some fine teachers for our school from our post confirmants. THANKS Mr. Isadore and Louis Rubinsky wish to express their thanks to the membership and Rabbi for the comfort and consolation they brought them during their period of .,,mourning . SISTERHOOD Sisterhood began to celebrate Chanukah on Tuesday evening, December sixth with a paid:UP membership supper in the Tempie's recreation room. After a short business meetmg, Mrs. Samuel Umen, ,p rogram chairman, conducted a q uiz program on Biblical fact. Mrs. Barney Roberts won the prize for answering all the questions correctly. The game of "Going to Jerusalem," was next on the program, and the winner was Mrs. Ellis Chevlin. Chanukah gifts were exchanged. Since entertaining the c hildren of the Congregation at Holiday parties is an important function of Sisterhood, two parties with a Chanukah motif were planned. The Cra dl e Roll on Saturday, December the 10th, with Mrs. Martin Friedenberg in charge and the regular Sunday School Chanukah party and luncheon at noon on Sunday December the eighteenth with Mrs. Sam Price as leader. A silver collection was taken during the December business meeting and will be used for the purchase of gifts to be given to the people living at the County Home. Also in true Chanukah gift-giving spirit, a contrilb ution was made to the Goodfellows. Mrs. Milton Steindler's sewing circle displayed some of the wares being made by our members for the Spring Bazaar, and these artides were acclaimed with orders from the m embers for Chanukah delivery. Of special interest to community members is the report tha.t the mate;rial for the stage curtain in the recreatio_n room is already in the workroom, and it will undoubtedly be in use before too long. At its next meeting, January 3, Sisterhood will hear a review of "Mary", Sholeim Asch's latest book. The review will be given by Mrs. Clifford Wightman, wife of the Hackley Library Director. Let us start the first meeting in 1950 with a 100 % attendance. With a desire to be of continued service in our own Temple and in inter-congregational activity, we your Sisterhood, take this opportunity of wishing you a pleasant 1950. Mrs. Frances August, President A GARDEN FUND Without any appeals or solicitations, several members of the Temple have recently sent in some sizable donations marked for "A Garden Fund". This is another way of saying that the Temple is not fully ,c omplete. It needs dressing up on the, outside. A special spot has been design ed around the Temple building to be cultivatJed and used as ·a sunken garden. Now th ese donors "eloquently" speak to the T emple administrators telling them to make use of t his fine spot. We agree with our "Garden Fund" donors that we have fine grounds provided for a garden but could not do anything with it for one reason -namely a lack of funds. With the fine start we now have, we can look forward to the garden that our beautiful Temple deserves. We say deserves, because th'e, outside beauty of our magnificent Temple will better reveal itself with the proper landscaping. ---0--WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES January Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. -6- and and and and Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Harry S.
