three cheerful rooms having proper size and equipment to meet the Religious

Dear Ra,bbi Umen,
Knowing of your deep interest in Amer ican
ideals, I take great pleasure in appointing you as
a memiber of the Mid-Century American Rededication Commission to meet with other Michigan
citizeins to discu,, and study the advisability of
formulating- a state-wide program, co-ordinating
and broadening the present existing programs of
the various civic and p.atriotic organizations.
I am callill1g a meeting of this Commission -for
Febr uary 23, 1950 at 10 :30 A.M. in the chambers
of th e House of Renresenta.tives in Lansing so
ihat I may meet with all the m embers and learn
from them first h,.nd what these organizations
are now doi'ng and what you may feel could be

Dear Sir,
Just a note of thanks for the splendid job you
did Sunday evening. After you had left we sat
for a,nother hour talking of what you had said
and out of that conversation came what I think
is the key to the whole evenimg. On e of the girls
said, "I will never say 'Jew' again with the same
meaning". They liked and admired you very
much and you have made a real contribution to
brotherhood even in our small group. I am very
grateful.
We were sincere in our desire to visit you
and your people and we boldly ask for an invitation at a t ime which is convenient to you. We
will com e into your fellowship with the same
spirit in which you came to ours, that of friendship and a desire to better understand you as
we -search together for God.
Cordially,
HORACE B. LOOMIS,
Pastor.

I needed no compliments to know that the

�OUR CHOIR
Our choir is an excellent example of what per,e-i erance and determination can accomplish. It
has through its fine work developed a substantial
repertoire of Friday evening music as well as
compositions for the Holidays and other occasions. W e take off our hats to the women of the
congregation who despite weather and sickness
and other occa.sional interruptions stuck to the
project of ·building a Temple- choir and built one.
We are deeply indebted to every member in the
choir, to Hubert Baker our organist and Paul
Schulze choir master. We really don't know how
we can ever thank this fine team for its magnificen t contrilbution to the Temple.
SISTERHOOD
Sisterhood members will have plenty of hours
of concentrated activity in the- next three months
as t h ey have recently set a new goal. The organization hopes to pm0chase A NEW PIANO for the
T emple recreation room and have not yet passed
the half-way mark on their regular budg,3t. With
this thought in mind, an app eal to the community
to patronize the n ext :several Sisterhood social
functions should be heeded. MRS. SAM LAW SON is general chairman for the PURIM SUPPER and CARNI VAL scheduled for the FIFTH
OF MARCH. The 'Whole family will enjoy th e
treats planned for that night--a MINSTREL
SHOW and a CARD PARTY are on the evening's program Last year's Passover Seder was
such a complete success under the leadership of
MRS. MAX SHUMACHER. that she plans to direct the activity a.gain and wishes to announce
that it w ill 1be held on THE SECOND NIGHT OF
PESACH, April 2•. A new system of ticket selling
was instituted for the Seder last year. and it
will be fo llowed again in order that everyone in
the community will be able to participate. There
will be a minimum charge of $2.00 per plate but
inasmuch aJs that sum will not even pay for the
foo d cost, much less the necessary embelli shment
for such an occasion, it is hoped that there will
be voluntary PATRONS and PATRONESSES.
Sist erhood's May fund-raising activity will b e
un der the leadership of Mrs. Wm. Stern. A
RUMMAGE SALE irs planned and as the Spring
housecleaning and wardrobe changing season approaches, it is hoped that you will save furniture,
bric-a..Jbra:c, clothing, etc for the rummage sale
crew. There are still many Sisterhood members
who have neglected to PAY DUES for the '49 -50
year. MRS. LOUIS ARON has suggested that we
mention this fact in this bulletin 1so that it will
prompt those who have forgotten the importanc e
of that part of our budget. So that our choirwomen would be properly costumed for the "American All" pageant, it was necessary for
Sisterhood to purchase four new robes. Vve hope
the community is aware of the many projects
the Sisterhood financially sponsors and can understand t he importance of attending each holiday party as it is planned. Of course there will
be a CRADLE ROLL PARTY on February 25,
in celebration of Purim and the SUNDAY
SCHOOL will have its program and party on
Sunday after.noon, February 26, honoring th e
festival of gladness and cheer. An invitation to
the adult community to attend th e Sunday School
party is hereby issued. The Sisterhood women
will act a1s hostesses. Sisterhood's MARCH
MEETING will lbe held March 7, and in order to
follow the motif of Purim, the Sunday School
class taught by Sam Shumacher will give a repeat performance of "SICK PURIM". Felicitations for the coming happy holidays. Depend on
your Sisterhood and let Sisterhood depend on
you .
Frances August-President.
SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED
}lave you noticed th e beautiful case adorning
the Temple Lolb by? How can anyone !overlook
anything so gorgeous? This case is the newly
built home for the Congregation's Golden Book.
Both the case and the Book call forth our pride
a·ncl. joy. We cannot help but tell the designer
and donor of the magnificent case, that we are
proud of him as well 115 of his gift. We thank you
Ke 1ly from the bottom of our hearts. May God
preserve you and keep you for many, many
years.
THE GARDEN FUND
Slowly but surely the Temple Garden Fund is
growing. As the Spring season i.s nearing, more
and more of our members become aware of the
need of having the Temple lawn properly cultivated. We feel ,c ertain, •because of the growing
interest in the, Temple lawn that when the time
co mes for flow ers to bloom and shrubs to show
off their beauty and grass to refresh the eye, all
of thec e will not be wanting on our Temple
g-r c,unds. In the meantime, Jet us make sure that
the Garden Fund continues growing.
THE GOLDEN BOOK
A case for our Golden Book has been donated
no less ,beautiful than the Golden Book itself.
The whole ensemble is not only a feast for the
eyes, but a reminder to every member of the
Congregation, as the plaque on the case reads,
that the book is a record of the treasured memories of our Congregation. Lest some misunderstand the reading on the plaque, we waa1t to
make it clear that th e book is not something
that belongs to the past. It is to be- used in the
pn:sent as well as in the future. It is for every
me mber's use and for the use of every affiliated
T e mple organizatiOln . Now that it is ready for
use, let us use it. Have your anniversary inscribe d in it. Inscr~be the memory of a dear one in
it as a permanent record . Record in it your
chi.Id'1s birthday, your so,n 's Bar Mitzvah date,
your daughter's confirmation date or wedding
dale, etc. Yes, let us use our Golden Book and
preserve in it those events of our life which are
dear unto us.
JUST CLAIM
Discussing which of the professions is the
oldest the doctor stated: "Medicine is oldest because the first act of God in Eden was a rib resection to form woman."
"But, said the engineer, "Before Eden, God
created the world out of chaos in six days;
surely this was an engineering job."
The lawyer mu sed thoughtfully, "And who."
he asked, "was responsible for chaos?"
HEBREW SCHOOL
It is most encouraging to see from week to
week, our children moving forward in the knowledge of the Hebrew language. A knowledge and
an appreciation of Hebrew will eventuate in a
deeper interest and closer relationship on the
part of our youing to our people, our culture,
c-ur dreams, and our hopes. The revival of Hebrew means the revival of the Jewish spirit. Parents are invited to, drop in from time to time
and observe their child1·en at work in our H ebrew School.

�OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL
It is good to see several members of our
School Board visiting our School each Sunday.
These visits will not d,n ly ,s erve to encourage the
teachers and the children but affords the members of the School Board an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the operation and program of our School. We welcome the visits of
our School Board members and are confident
that these visits will help our School co·ntinue to
grow from ,s trength to strength.
TWO ADULT CLASSES IN HEBREW
We are happy to report that the Adult Class
in Hebrew started by Ralbtbi Umen this year, at
the Muskegon Junior College is well received by
the non-sectarian group, and is progre•s sing in a
manner beyond all expectations. The Adult Hebrew Class that tbegan at the, Temple a year ago
is doing exceptidnally well. Both groups can be
p.roud of their accomplishments, and we of the
Temple are certainly happy to know that we
are serving Jew as well as non -Jew through the
facilities of Congregation B'nai Israel and its
Rabbi.
THE TEMPLE LIBRARY
Thanks to Fred Rodoff, and those in the Cong;regation who have answered his many appeals
for the Temple Library fund, our library shelves
are filling out with some excellent volumes. The
books that grace our Library shelves are works
that have been tested in the crucible of time and
declared eternal. We are proud of our contributors, of our chaimnan and of our library.
While libraries are not built in a day, we still
want our congregants to know that over a period
of years we can have a collection of books that
will adorn not only our Temple, but by which we
can all be adorned. I n our remembering, let us
remember the Library. In our forgetting, let us
not forget the Temple Library.

Song of Songs has been taken up; and Ecclesiastes has been covered .. Now the religion of the
Prophets is ,being carefully analyzed. The requirements for this course is nothing else but
attendance. The benefits incalculable. For every
subject that is taken up is studied in t he light of
world literature, poetry, philosophy, politics and
government. Every hour with the study group is
not spe,nt but ,g ained. The still small voice cries
for food, Answer the 1still small voice of the spirit
as you answer the loud ,c all of your body. ATTEND THE NEXT SESSION OF THE BIBLE

A LETTER FROM THE UNITED JEWISH
CHARITIES CHAIRMAN
Between the time of the U.J.C. dinner a n d t he
publication of this Bu lletin, several of our mem ,bers who did not attend the dinn er, sent i n t heir
U.J.C. contriibution or pledge. For this splen did
co-operation . I am most t hankful to t hese in dividuals. I feel certain that before long every one
in our community will have made some g ift to
the greatest cause in the long histor y of our
people. It may intere.s t our community that almost half of our pledge has already been t urned
over to U. J. A . headquarters. It is my si ncere
belief that with the wonderful co-operation of
our pledgees, we sh all have (90 % ) ninety percent of the moneys promised sent overseas wh ere
it is to help our brethren in dire nee d.
Thus far , we have all worked together as a unit.
We have ,s ucceeded in our goal. Let us fi nish our
assignment in the same spirit as we have begun
it. W hatever you can send in 1now, if you have
as yet not g iven anything on your pledge, will
bring us a ll that much closer to th e end of our
objective. With thanks again, I am
Sincerely,

climaxed by a most important date- nam ely our
Donor Dinner. T his annual affair is scheduled
for May and our guest is to be the note d speaker, Martha Sharp. Last year Hadassah u ndertook
the sale of Passover supplies to t he community.
This year we will again sponsor t h e sale a n d
work for equall y good results. At t he present
there is an emergency drive on to collect clothing
for the chi ldren in I srael who are in dire nee d.
This project is under the leadership of Mrs. Morris Levine a n d promises to be a success. Our
attendance at meetings has been good and we
hope to make it still better with each successive
month. The programs have been both education -al and entertaining in a,n effort to spur u s on to
the great job ahead. Our need this year is greater
than ever. Each month a large n u mber of immigrants come into Israel. T he people are t ired .and
sick in bod1y and soul and above all are disea se
ridden. Hadassah is doing an excellent job to alleviate their suffering an d it can only continue
through our redoubled efforts t his year . .

OUR FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
The Jewish festivals in their traditional forms,
take the Jew year by year, through all the imoortant periods of Jle.wish hisory. At Passover he
lives through the Exodus "as if he himself went
out of Egypt"; at Succoth he makes the juurney
throug'.1 the wilderness, at Shevuoth he receives
the Law. on the various fast days, culminating
on Tisha Be' Av, he passes through all the peop!e's wars down to the Destruction of the :::;·c cond
Temple, at Hanuccah he wins again the victorv
of the people against its attackers and of Judaism over Hellenism. And he who sees all this
again year after ye•w ca"'w>~ b,1t root himself
deeply in his l)eople and strengthen his detel"mination to bring the renewed State of Israel to
fruitioi:i,. and to continue all the bright trends of
our ongmal culture. Even the Jew who is far
from Jewish tradition will admit that we would
have been lost had we not held to these tradiions through the thousands of years of exile.
-2-
�THE NEW YEAR
The New Year festival is far other than the
mere opening day, according to the olden ,T ewish
reckoning, of another year in the flight of time.
Unlike the New Year celebrations of many
ancient and modern nations, the Jewish New
Year is not a time, of revelry. It is a solemn season of self-examination and self judgment in thP
life of the Jew. Scripture prescribes a special
symbolic rite for this day, the sounding of the
ram's horn, the SHOF AR. Whoever has once
heard during the New Year service the shrill
notes or this oldest of wind instruments will never
forget them. And the meaning- of this ceremony
to the worshippers who listen to these notes in
solemn awe is as stirring as the sounds themselves. Since days immemorial, the sounding of
the ram's horn on the New Year has been interpretmd in Israel as the clarion call to repentance and spiritual renewal, saying: "Awake, ye
sleepers! Be not of those who miss realities in
their hunt after shadows. Consider your deeds:
purify your hearts. There is an Eye that seeth
all things: there is an Ear that heareth all things.
There is a heavenly Judge with whom is no unrighteousness, nor forgetfulness, nor respect of
persons."
And on the High Festivals the Jew thinks not
only of himself, but of pe,ace and blessedness for
all mankind. In the most ancient and solemn
part of the services, both of the New Year and
of the Day of Atonement, he prays God to hasten
the time when the mighty shall be just and the
just mighty; when al! the children of men shall
form one hand of brotherhood; when national arrogance and oppression shall have passed away,
like so much smoke from the earth.
-JOSEPH H. HERTZ
~Chief Rabbi of British Empire
(1872-1946)
A MESSAGE FROM OUR RABBI
The year just t,ided was a test year. Through
the will and determination of the Jewish people
everywhere, the D. P. camps have well nigh been
evacuated. Thousands of our brethren have
been given a new Je,3se on life in their new horn,~,
Palestine. The Israelis have proved to the world
by their a.bility and wisdom that they can carry
on as a free and indept111dent nation.
While there are still many pressing problem,
facing the Israeli government and the Israeli
peopTe1 as a whole, we are confident nevertheless,
that given time, they will go from strength to
strength.
For our own local community, the year past
was also a challenge. Our program called for
vision, courage, effort and a strong- will for
execution of same. The year being over, we can
say with a smile the work was done and don0
well.
Now we stand at the threshold of the New
Year. More, much more is expected of us in the
New Year. Only by doing better in the days
ahead, shall we know that we are progressing.
We have met the challenge before, with God's
help and a combined effort we can can do it
again.
Rabbi Samuel Umen
BEGINNERS' CLASSES IN HEBREW
Parents who are planning to register their children in the Heb1"f',W School are asked to do so at
the Temple Office. before October 24.
A beginner's class in Hebrew for Adults will
be gi~n on Thursday evenings from 8 :00 p.m.
to 9 :00 p.m. beginning October 27. All those
who are interested in this course, are urged to
notify the Temple Office.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Somehow around this time of the year, a new
spirit takes hold of us. We look forward to the
New Year. We feel that the ew Year will be
better and will have nicer things for us than
that offe1 1c,d by the past. All this is natural. We
can't do anything with the past. The past is
gone, dead. It is the future that can be lived and
translated by our life into things great and
memorable. Hence. standing before the New
Year in which we are about to begin to liYe, let
u1:: resolve to live every day granted to us to the
fullest of our ability.
Onlv by remembering our duty to ourselves,
our fellow-man, our community, our people and
our country, not only in thought but also in act,
shall we fully c-njoy the days that are ours in the
future.
May God grant that the New Year be for us
and all mankind one of happiness and rich in
achievement.
-PAUL M. WIENER
A MESSAGE FROM THE
RITUAL CHAIRMAN
I am happy to report to the community that
the year now ending was one that gave me and
my committee untold joy. It. was good to see the
large attendance at our Friday night service, the
many Congregants join and participate in the
Oneg S'habat programs after the service, and following through the Ritual Program as planned
by the Committee throughout the year.
Recently the committee met again and mapped
ou a pro,g ram for the coming year, which I am
sure will inclicate, as this program evolves, that
we are makin~ progress. that we are headine; for
a strong united community. All of us are responsible for the progress we made last year. I know
that the entire Congregation will continue to coperate in the future as in the past to the end
that we shall all enjoy the fruits of our labor.
May our heavenly Father bless us, all Israel,
and all mankind with a New Year of peace anrl
prosperity.
-SAMUEL G. KLAYF
A MESSAGE FROM
OUR SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT
We of Sisterhood are happy to wish the members of our community a year of peace, happiness. joy and contentment.
With our transitional year in the past, a difficult but happy one, we forge ahead to serve as an
auxiliary to our fine congregation to the fullest
of our capacity. May we be ever mindful of our
duties and obligations to our people and community so that every year produces greater and
more constructive achievements.
The beautiful and familiar words always
sounded at the New Yeal'--"L'Shono Tova Tikosevu" serve as a stimulus to fulfill our duties to
bring the ultimate of peace, happiness, joy and
contentment to all of us and our fellowmen.
-FRANCES AUGUST
GREETINGS FROM
B'NAI BRITH PRESIDENT
Through the medium of this Bulletin I wish to
extend my sincerest wishes to all the Temple
members and to all the members of the Abraham
Rosen Lodge. Judging from the enthusiasm expressed by most of our members with regard to
the B'nai Brith program for the coming year. I
feel that we can look forward to a very fruitful
year.
-HAROLD SILVERMAN
�A MESSAGE FROM OUR
U. J.C. CHAIRMAN
I recall at this writing, a thought from one of
the sermons delivered by our Rabbi during the
High Holy Day Service of last year. "We can
become better if we only will it to be. We can
make our community better if we so desire. It
is all within our will."
I fully agree with the Rabbi that the key to
success lies within the will. When a person sets
his whole heart and mind upon a certain goal, he
can in due time achieve his aim. Obstacles vanish
before the strong-willed.
In December 1948, a large portion of the
Temple membership, met at a dinner at the Occidental Hotel. Then and there we took counsel together and decided how much help our needy
brethren were to receive from us. We pledged
our help individually and as a group. We reported
our decision to those that were waiting for our
answer and who were countin_g- on us.
Thus far, on the whole, our pledge remains
nothing but a gesture. I feel that in any and
every language there is nothing more sacred than
a pledge. Let nothing stand in our way between
now and the New Year in keeping our word with
God and our fellow man. Before we ask God for
a New Year of life, let us make sure that we
through our promises have not deprived others of
the same.
-SAM LIPMAN
NEW YEAR GREETINGS FROM OUR
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
With God's blessings of a New Year of health
and happine,ss for ourselves and our children, we
look forward to a year of gi:eat achievements in
our Religious School. Many outstanding Jewish
leaders and educators whose talents were given
in the last decade. to the pressing problems of
Jewish homelessness, are now directing their attention to the much neglected problem of Jewish education at home.--here in the United States.
There is no doubt in my mind that a new attitude and new spirit toward Jewish study will
seize the entire Jewish Community of America.
It is in the light of this happening, together with
what we ourselves are planning for our School
in the way of a program, that I feel confident
that the coming year will be one of outstanding
accomplishments in our School.
-Gene Berman, Principal
A TEMPLE NEEDS A SOUL
A Temple is in a way like a human being. The
bones, the flesh, the sinews, the entire body
structure is nothing but lifeless matter without
the breath of life-the soul. A house of worship, no matter how beautiful it may b~, wi~ho~t
the life that the Congregants pour mto 1t, 1s
nothing but a dead body. A Temple like a human
being needs a soul. It needs life. There are many
ways by which the membership can make their
Temple a living institution. . A~ this time we
should like to suggest the bmldmg and developing of our choir. The Choir is a necessary adjunct of the Temple. Ther~- are a number of men
and women in our Cong1 egation who can help
develop our Choir. By helping the Choir, we
shall be giving life and enrich the soul of our
Temple. Join the Choir. Call Rose Rosenberg,
chairman, and tell her that you want to lend
your voice. "LET US COME AND SING UNTO
THE LORD."
A MESSAGE FROM
THE HADASSAH PRESIDENT
I am very grateful to the Congregation for inviting me to extend Hadassah's New Year greetings to our community through this Bulletin.
Once again, I wish to say that the past year has
bern one of success for Hadassah generally and
for our Chapter particularly. Two things governed our action and stimulated our interest and
work. First, the cause itself and secondly the
knowledge that we were working for the enh:rncement of the State of Israeli.
The New Year, will I am certain make irreater
dr-mwds upon us. I am also certain that the untold satisfaction which we derive from our work,
will not permit us to slacken. Hadassah's healing
hand is needed now more than ever. I know that
Hadassah here as everywhere else, will not deprive her bre thren the care and comfort that is
due them.
During the High Holy Day Service, we ask for
life, let us also remember to help those in need
to life and liberty. May we all be privileged to
enjoy the New Year in peace, health and prosperity to the end that we may se,rve God anrl
man.
--Jessie Neumer
A PRAYER AND A DEAL
Once there was a poor man, a "schlemihl". He
was so unhappy that he took pleasure it1 daydreaming. One day he uttered the following
prayer:
"Dear God-give me ten thousand dollars for the New Year. I'll tell you
what---1'11 make a deal with you. I
swear to give five thousand dollars of
this amount for charity, the other half
let me keep. You say you have doubts
about my honorable intentions?-then
give me the five thousand dollars I ask
for myself and the other five thousand
dollars You give to charity yourself."

A MESSAGE FROM THE
YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE CHAIRMAN
It was a wonderful experience to work together with the younger member& of the Congregation. Since we got organized late in the year,
there was little time had for planning a full program of activity. The few affairs conducted by
the Young People's League during the yeal', however, proved to be very successful. More careful
planning and a better organized group, I bdieve,
can do itself proud during the coming year. I
have faith in the Young People's League.
I want to take this opportunity of expressing
my deepest gratitude to the Congregation and
Sisterhood for the co-operation the Young
People's League received from them on every occasion.
May our Lord grant us all health and happiness
in the ew Year, so that we can go on in our
work from strength to strength.

PURPOSE OF LIFE
What is the meaning of life? This probably is
the most speculative question with which the
philosophers have wrestled in every generation.
Two things are certain. We are born and we die.
What of the years between these two events?
The average person uses about the first twenty
or twenty-five years of life to prepare for his
life's work. This last about forty years and then
he either dies or retires. It is with these forty
years that the average man is most concerned.
What is the purpose of them. For what purpose
should he prepare himself, only to know that at
best he has forty or less years to be alive. What
should be the goal of purpose. To what designation should we set our ambition to achieve. It
seems to me that joy is the answer. Not pleasure.
Pleasure is only an artifice of nature to guarantee that he living will continue to live; it in no
way indicates the direction of life. But joy always
announces he fact that life has succeeded, that it
has gained ground, has won a victory; great joy
has a note of triumph in it. Wherever there is
joy there is creation: the richer the creation the
more profound the joy. The mother looking at
her child has joy because she knows that she
"created" him, physically and morally. Take the
exceptional joys of life: those of the artist realizing his concepts of beauty, the scholar discovering truth. You may have thought that these men
work for the glory of it all, that they take great
pleasure in the admiration of others. This is a
profound error. Men depend on fame and honor
to the exact extent that they are no sure of having- succeeded. One who is absoluely sure of having done a good work has no need of praise; he
feels himself above glory, for the simple reason
that he is a creator; he knows he is a cre.ator and
the joy he has in knowing it is a divine joy.

FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE
OCTOBER 21, 8:15 P.M.
As we are about to resume the Friday night
servic()S, we cannot help but think of Sisterhood
and the hostesses that Sisterhood furnished
throughout the past season. There is nothing
that hits the spot better than a hot cup of tea or
coffeo after the Service. Sisterhood with its
hostesses made this possible last year. We look
forward to the continuance of this lovely gesture.
TWO DEDICATIONS
TO TAKE PLACE SOON
The Golden Book will be dedicated at the first
Friday night service on October 21st. After the
Service, congregants will have a chance to feast
their eyes on the magnificent art work found
within the covers of the Book.
Later in the season, perhaps during the Thanksiriving week~end, we shall have the pleasure of
dedicating the Israeli Room now being made
ready for the occasion.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
THE HIGH HOLY DAYS
Rosh-means head
Shonnoh-means year
Ha-means the
Rosh Hasonnoh-means the head of the
year or the beginning of the year.
Rosh Hashonnoh is celebrate,d rn the month
of TISHREI.
TISHREI is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar.
The first month on the Hebrew calendar is
NIS'ON.
Rosh Hashonnoh is obse,r ved two days by
Orthodox and Conservative Jews and one
day by Liberal or Reform Jew,;.
Rosh Hashonnoh marks the anniversary of
the world. Our Rabbis believe that the world
was cre.~ted in the fall during the month of
TISHREI.
Rosh Hasonnoh is known by several names:
a. YO.M RADIN-Judgment Day.
b. YOM HAZIKORON-Day of Remembrance.
c. YOM TRUOH-Day of sounding the
Trumpet.
Rosh Hashonnoh is known as Judj?'ment Day
because our Rabbis claim that God sits in
judgement on this day, reviews our deeds of
the year gone by and judges according to
our dessert. Some are marked for death,
some for life, some for health and some for
illness, som'e, for riches and some for poverty etc.
The reason why Rosh Hashonnoh is known
as YOM HAZIKORON is because God remembers the great sacrifices many of our
leaders have made on behalf of their religion and their love for God.
Rosh Hashonnoh is known as YOM TRUOH
because on this day the SHOFAR (or trumpet) is sounded during the Service.
Special prayers are re.,cited on Rosh Hashonnoh. We appeal to God for a New
Year of health, happiness and prosperity.
Many of the prayers for the New Year or
Rosh Hashonnoh Servic'e were written by
Rabbis amd poets of the middle ages. A few
of these men are:
J ehudah Halevi
Ibn Ezra
Eleazer Kalir
Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Rosh Hashonnoh is a major holiday. A major
holiday is one which is mentioned in the
Bible.
Rosh Hashonnoh falls on the first day of
the seventh month of Tishrei.
All holidays that are observed two days outside of Palestine, are observed only one day
in Palestine.
Rosh Hashonnoh is observed two days in
Palestine (both days are regarded as one).
According to Or+hodox law, no wo1·k, except cookinJ?: is permitted on Rosh Hashonnoh.
The SHOFAR (trumpet) which is sounded
during the Service on Roi'-h Hashonnoh, is
fashion'e,d out of a Ram's horn. It brings to
mind the ram which God sent to Abraham
as a substitute for the sacrifice of his son,
Isaac.
It is customary to dip bread in honey at the
supper hour on the eve of Rosh Hashonnoh.
This is to symbolize the sweeitness we hope
the New Year will bring us.

REPRINT FROM LIBERAL JUDAISM
TO LIVE AGAIN
BY OBSERVER
In every service in the Jewish prayer boo_k, _there is 2. po1•tion called the Kaddish. It is recited by the
living in honor of the dead. We memonahze the dead, not because our wocds benefit those who have
passed away but because we desire to benefit by their qxample as we benefit by theit· works.
OUR DEBT TO THE DEA D
Only when we pause to think of it, do we realize the vastne s of our debt to those who prereded
us. The cities we. inhabit, sometimes even the very dw_ellings in which we live, the instruments we use,
the ideas we cherish, the knowledge whereon we bmld, the laws that govern us, Lhe institutions that
maintain our civilization-how few of them are the works of the living an<l how many of them a:r'ie
the contributions of the dead.
Without any reference, at the moment, to per.3onal immortality, as this was pictured by our forebears, the _ck,'ld live in a very definite sense 3:nd ~enefit us by the acts they performed. We find in
this reflection a potent argument for conduct which 1s far from subtle.
What are we planning to do for the generations that will follow? A1;ei we living for ourselves alone
or shall we, too, help to perpetuate in an organized fashion what the wisdom of many o-enerations has
la bolled as good and beneficial?
,.,
At the moment we are thinking of the institutions of religion. We are passing through a period
of brazen materialism. Electric lights, dance music and the spirit of Coney Island are too much with
us. To be, sure. this will pass away as similar materialistic periods of the past. At the gwift pace of
modern life we might well ask ourselves whether the dawn of a new day may ,not find our children
impoverished because we did not remember to perpetuate these great truths that can hold a reeling
world from destruction.
Frankly, we might apply this iruth to ourselves. Are we devoting any of ihe wealth that the gifts
of the past enabled us to accumulate to keep aglow the flame of religion? We all make wills. Are we
by our testamentary gifts helping to pave the way to a noble Jewish life for our children? Why not
gratify the desire to live again 7
·
When the rabbi reads the Kaddish prayer and even when he mentions the names of the deceased
ii is not he who makes them live again. It is we who l'emernber what they did for u s and who resolve i~
their name, to do our share fo1, those who are to follow.
'
Tmi Kaddish service is more than a prayer of memorial. It is a service of consecration, wherein the
dead salute the living and the living salute the unborn.

While September and October were busy

our children were not forgotten. A lovely service
was arranged for the children on Yorn Kippur
Day. This was followed by a beautiful party on
Simchath Torah for the entire Sunday School,

THANKS FOR THE SUCCOH DECORATIONS
It was thrilling both to the Rabbi and Congregation to enter our beautifully decorated Succoh
on Succoth eve and recite therein, the Kiddush
a.nd the traditional Succoth blessing. For our
children too, the lesson of Succoth was made
more meaningful and more vivid when their
Sunday School teachers showed them the Succoh, and the Rabbi explained its meaning and
history.
Our deepest thanks go to the good Sisterhood
members who in a pouring rain came to the
Temple and spent several hours making the
Succoh beautiful. May God reward these good
women with many beautiful blessings throughout the year.
FRIDAY EVENING SERVICE
This year as last, we look forward from week
to week to the lovely gatherings of our members
at the Friday evening service. From time to
time, some event will crop up either in the form
of a dinner, a movie a ball game etc. which will
test a Congregants loyalty and devotion to his
Temple. Let us therefore from the very start resolve that i •'riday night is dedicated to Temple
and prayer. Let us give at least one night of the
seven to our soul, to things spiritual.

THE HOLIDAY SERVICE IN RETROSPECT
Everyone who attende4 the Holiday S1:rvi~es
at the Temple this year W1ll agi·ee that begmnmg
with the New Yar Service and ending with the
Simchath Torah Service, there was !ittle that
was lacking to have made the Se_rv1ces_ i:nore
beautiful. There was beauty, a genume sp1l'lt of
holiness and a feeling of oneness in the Congregati~n, from beginning to end.
A vote of thanks for the magnificent manner
in which eve1·ything was done ot make our Service as beautiful as it was, goes to our Rabbi, the
choir the ehoir leader---.Mr. Paul Shultz, the Ore;anist-Mr. Hubert Baker, the ritual committee,
and Jack Steindler, head of the Ushers Committee.
Let us hope that from year to year, we shall
continue to grow and improve.
According to the finest educators and best
principles of education, a child will learn a lesson quicker through pictures, illustrations and
cbjects than by stories which taxes at time his
imagination.
In Sunday School, for example. as part of a
lesson, a description will be given of a Synagogue
Service. If, however, the child were to witness
and participate in such a service, the lesson
would be made much more understandable. In
view of this, the Sunday School staff has decided, that once a month the children of our Sunday School be asked to attend a regular Sabbath
morning Service.
This will give our children a chance to see
and experience theory in practice. We trust that
all the parents concerned will co-operate with our
C'chool and help carry out a project of invaluable
worth to the child and of great importance to the
School. THE FIRST SABBATH MORNING FOR
OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL WILL BE HELD ON
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, AT 9 :45 A.M.

�SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our S'unday School is already in full swing
with an enrollment of fifty five at this writing.
By the first week in November, we hope to have
P. few more children who, due to the holidays
and sickness were delayed in registering. A very
fine curriculum has bee·n prepared by the Rabbi.
and with the proper care and supervision we
hope to accomplish a great deal for our schoo1.
Our aim is to make our Sunday School second
to none in every respect. All we ask of the parents is to make sure that the children arc in
school at the exact hour-10 :00 A.M. sharp.
With our able staff of teachers, Gene Berman Principal, our Rabbi, and the parents cooperating, and with God's help we shall not fail
<•ur children. The motto for our school is taken
from scripture: ''AND THOU SHALT TEACH
THEM DILIGENTLY U TO THY CHILDREN."
HEBREW SCHOOL
This is the beginning of the second year for
our Hebrew School. Hebrew School opened on
Monday, October 24th at 4 :00 P .M. All the children who started last year, returned to resume
their studies. Smilingly they are at their lesson~
again. No, the children are not preparing for
Bar Mitzah in these classes. They are studying
the Hebrew language as one tudies French,
Spanish. Latin or some other language.
Hebrew is a living language again. It is taught
in many high schools, colleges, and universities
throughout the United States. ot only are more
Jews studying Hebrew than ever before, but a
great many non-Jews have taken to the study of
Hebrew in lieu of another language.
TWO ADULT COURSES IN HEBREW
The a dult Hebrew class introduced last year
at our Temple, and not without success, met
again for this year on Monday, October 24th at
1 :00 P.M. to continue furthering its knowledge
of the Hebrew language and literature.
Since the adult Hebrew class meets in the
afternoon . several individuals who would have
liked to join the class could not do so last year
on account of the hour. So that no one may be
deprived of the opportunity to study Hebrew,
another Hebrew class has been added this year.
This beginner's class meets on Monday evenings
from 7 :00 to 9 :00 P .M. at the Muskegon Junior
College under the direction of Rabbi Umen.
While this class is already in progress, it is not
too late to register now. "Studies serve for pastimes for ornaments, for abilities. Their chief
use for pastimes is in privateness and retiring;
for ornaments in discourse; and for ability in
judgment."
THE BIBLE STUDY GROUP
RESUMES STUDIES
"If you have acquired knowledge" asks a great
teacher,, "what are you Jacking?" "If you lack
knowledge what have you got?" The chance to
study and to widen your knowledge on the Jewish religion, its origin and growth, its philosophy
and literature is at your door. Do not let this
wonderful opportunity pass you by.
The Bible Study Group meeting every other
Wednesday is studying this year (as a continuation of last year's course) the book of Ecclesiastes-(Solmon's philosophy of life) fo1· the first
hour, and the religion of the Prophets, the second hour of the session.
The nex t meetin g
of the
B ible Stud y Group
will be on Wedne s day e ven in g, Novembe r 9 at

JEWISH BOOK MONTH
NOVEMBER 11-DECEMBER 11
WHY JEWISH BOOK MONTH?
The Jewish Book Council of America is a broad
representative organization "bringing toge~her
Jews of varying religious an4 cultural _group1r:gs
on a common platforI? of mterest m .Jew!sh
literature" and covering the field of Jewish
literary a.'ctivity in the Un~te4 States in i~s trilingual form of Hebrew, Yiddish and Enghsh.
One of the methods used to achieve this objective is the campaign for the observance of Jewish Book Month conducted annually by the Council as a means of stimulating interest in the
Jewish book and sustaining the interest aroused
throughout the year.
At no other time were there more cogent.
reasons for such an observance. The time has
come when American Jewry must play a positive
part in assuring the survival of the J e"'.ish cultural heritage. The great European J ew1sh centers of learning and literature are in ruin~, the
majority of the Jews of Europe have penc:hed,
the potential talent and creative energies of the
Jewish populations in Europe are destroyed. It
is clear that the responsibility for restoring these
ruins falls upon the Jews of America. The Jewish Book Council of America is one of the agencies of Jewish life in America which is assuming
a share in this responsibility and is seeking ways
of creating conditions favorable for the development of an American Jewish culture, and of preserving the age-old Jewish heritage. A deep consciousness of this need must be awakened and it,
is hoped that Jewish Book Month will provide
the impetus.
WHAT HAVE PUBLIC LIBRARIES DONE
TO OBSERVE JEWISH BOOK MONTH?
Originated in 1926 as Jewish Book Week by
a librarian (Miss Fanny Goldstein, Librarian of
th West End Branch of the Boston Public Library), Jewish Book Month has been teadily
gaining in importance as an annual observance
in public libraries.
Libraries in both large and small communities
have arranged many attractive programs and exhibitions in the past. Public libraries have also
participated in community-wide celebrations and
a number have prepared special lists of books of
Jewish interest for distribution.

OU R LIBRARY
This month being Book Month, our minds naturally tunn to books and libraries in general, anrl
to our own library and books in particular. Due
to the kindness of many of our members as well
'lS the commendable work of our library chairman, our library is growing from day to day.
lowly but surely some of the finest books arc
finding their way into our Temple Library.
During the summer. thirty new volumes have
been added to our lovely collection. May we suggest, that this month above all, is a very appropriate time to give a gift either in money or a
book to the Temple Library. Both the donor'i,
name and the name in whose honor or memory
the book is given are attached to the covers of
the book. "Books are the legacies that genius
leaves to mankind, to be delivered down from
generation to generation, as presents to those
that are yet unborn."
ISRA ELI ROOM TO B E DEDICATED NOV. 20
On November 2·1 of last year, during the din ner given in honor of Leo S. Rosen, and also at
the time when our Temple was dedicated, about
$4,000.00 do11ars were pledged by the dinner
guests and paid for a room in our Temple, to be
known 'lS the "Israeli Room". Between last year
and now, a mural has been set up in one of the
Temple classrooms, confirming the pledge and
promisf made by this Congregation last November. Th,s mural which was carefully and tastefully designed, will be on a long time and serve
as a symbol of the heroic deeds performed by our
brethren in the establishment of a democratir
Jewish i1tate, for which they hoped and waited
for two chousand years.
THIS ISRAELI ROOM, WILL BE FORMALLY DEDICATED ON SU DAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, AT 8 :00 P. M. OU'I'ST ANDING
PERSO ALITIES, INCLUDING GOVER ·oR
WILLIAMS WILL ATTEND AND P ARTI CIp ATE IN THE DEDICATORY SERVICE.
UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
The time has come when we must take counsel
together once again and decide how much we are
going to do this year for our unfortunate brethren who wait for our help. Before doing so,
however, we must first consider the meaning of
1:1, pledge to ourselves and the person to whom it
is made. Last year too we met and pledged. Had
our brethren depended on some of us entirely,
there would be none of them left today to call
upon us again.
B etw e en now and Dece mb e r let us determine
to clean up last year's appeal, and decide what
our gift should be this year. It is wrong to play
around with other people's lives. It is well to
remember that every person in need is our
broth er and we, more fortunate are his keeper.
VIEWPOINT
The man got his ailing friend as far as t he
doctor's door, but there t he 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-IO to 1."

�B'NAI BRITH
EVENTS OF INTEREST
Under the inspired leadership of its new
president, Eugene Fisher, our B'nai Brith is
making· rapid strides in its expansion program.
With a memberi;hip at an all-time high o.f more
t.han 100, the organizaiion is looking to<lay
toward its most active year as a community
service group. The dedication in conjunction
with National B'nai Brith Week on Friday, Octcber 14th, started the new ball a-rolling. Rabbi
Samuel Umen spoke on "Looking Backward and
Fonvard", and deceased presidents of the lodge
and the national organization were commemorated. This event was followed by a highly successful Polio Fund Benefit at the Temple on
Sunday, October 16th, where an impressive
turnout danced to Buddy Friend's music. Preentation of our check for $355.00 to a representative of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis highlighted the intermission program. Our B'nai Brith rates a low bow for this
very worthwhile affair, which was one of the
community's most successful Polio benefits.
Strictly on the sccial side was the B'nai Brith
meeting Monday, Oct. 24th. At least 60 members
spent a thoroughly enjoyable evenin.e.-. thanks to
an entertaining and enlightening program. Three
films were shown, the first dealth with the popular sport of fishing, the second was a "Manch
of Time" tribute to the F.B.I., and the third
was a timely documentary on Palestine narrated
by Frederic March. On Sunday morning October
30th, fall and winter bowling begins. All members are urged to come down to Demos Bowling
Alleys and participate. This year we have something special to work for; and that something is
our entry into the Michigan B'nai Brith Bowling
League which will be held in Grand Rapids in
1950. And finally, on the academic side of the
ledger, in the near future we are going to have
an opportunity to hear Mr. Haskell Lazere of
the Anti-Defamation League, the exact date of
Mr. Lazere's talk will be announced later.
THE JEWISH population of Smyrna, Turkey,
has been reduced from 16,000 to 4,400 as a result of large-scale migration to Israel during
the last few months. In August alone, 2,000
Turkish Jews left the country for Israel,

Things To Know About Chanukah
1. Chanukah falls on the 25th day of the Jew-
THANKSGIVING DAY
We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord!
Not for armed legions, marching in their might,
Not for the glory of the well-earned fight
Where brave men slay their brothers also brave;
But for the millions of Thy sons who workAnd do Thy ta k with joy-and never shirk,
And deem the idle man a burdened slave;
For these, 0 Lord, our thanks!
We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord!
Not for the palaces that wealth has grown,
Where ease is worshipped-duty dimly known,
And pleasure leads her dance the flowery way;
But for the quiet homes where love is queen
And life is more than baubles, touched and seen,
And old folks bless us, and dear children play;
For these, 0 Lord, our than ks!

�congregation is a social unit and like society as a whole. is made up
of different individuals striving toward certain definite goals. ln ib
struggle for existence and for the realization of ils objectives. the con
gregalion has its ups and downs, ils headache , prohlems. f ailurc~
and achievements. This struggle for existence is what makes history.
The hi tory which is made by society from day lo day. and year lo ~ ear. is regularly
rf'curded by il
historian . Smaller units within the social make-up such as con-
grertalion for example are not alway inclined to keep a record of their own special history.
A
a result of this negligence, po terity is deprived of a good deal of infor-
mation, inspiration and guidance in problems which the past has successfully
olve.-1 and which nevertheless crop up again for the fulure.
Bearing these facts in mind. we of Congregation B' nai Israel have therefore
created a hook. to serve as a record for the Congregation's hi tory as ii is made
from day lo day
by
our trials and achievements.
Tonight. we are happy lo dedicate this book which all agree is a thing of
b«"auly. Beginning tonight this Golden Book remains a challenge lo all of us .
\\'hether or not we
hall meet the challenge in the form of great and worlhv

Let us on this historic occasion, resolve lo meet the challenge of the "Book"

�A MESSAGE FROM
THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN
It is a source of pride to the Jewish
Community of Greater Muskegon that, in spite
of our ONil local institutional needs, a nearly
record amount of money was sent for overseas
relief during this past fiscal year.
In this crucial period that the infant
State of Israel is facing, Greater Muskegon
has exhibited a consciousness of its duty to
our brethren in Israel which will be remembered long after the struggle for the survival of Israel is over.
Muskegon Jewry has an enviable per capita
record of its generous giving, equal to, or
better than any Community in the United States.
Community acknowledges a debt of
gratitude to Harry A. Fisher for his generosity and leadership during the critical fiscal
year of 1949-50.
Our
PAUL M. VTIENER,
Honorary Chairman
�A ,mssAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
In concluding the United Jewish Charities Campaign for the year 1949-1950, I cannot but help
offer thanks to the Je~ish Community of Greater
Muskegon for its magnificent response to the greatest cause in the history of the Jewish people.
From a personal standpoint I feel grateful for
the opportunity of having been chairman of the
Muskegon U. J.C. for 1949-1950, because through my
work I have gained a more intimate knowledge of the
tremendous good that the more than 90% of our local
campaign funds sent overseas has done in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Israel. This has
provided an enrichment of my life that nothing else
I could have undertaken would have accomplished.
Is the job done? Emphatically no 1 Today, we
stand at the crossroads--for without our support
during this stage in Israel's history, it cannot
successfully become what can be the greatest example
of democracy outside our own shores.
It is up to
each of us, my friends, to continue to shoulder the
·burden of our Israeli brethren ~nd to make additional sacrifices so that their future, and in a
sense our future, shall be secure.
I could not in good conscience transfer the
reins of my office without publicly thanking my
Fellow Officers, Board Members, and particularly
the Muskegon Chapter of Hadassah for their untiring
efforts which assured the success of our campaign.

ATTENDANCE AT SlliVICES UftGED
We would like to remind our
congregation that as of this
date, religion is not dead in
our Temple . We are endeavoring
to continue with regular Friday
night services each week, with
different members of the congregation conducting the services .
These members put in time and
effort in order to try to do a
good job. They prepare for the
services , and write their own
commentaries or sermonettes, all
in an effort to maintain the continuity of services . Our atten~
dance on some Friday nights has
been extremely poor, and it is
discouraging to the people who
are trying to do a job. A few
of our members have sain that
since we do not have a rabbi,
they are not interested in
attending Friday ni~ht services ,
This is truly an example of
profound thinking and logic . 'l'he
truth of the matter is that
when the going is a bit rough,
that is the t~~e when we need
all the support we can get .
Perhaps many of our congregation would do well to abandon
their attitude of 11 Here I am -entertain me 11 , and give their
support . These people are the
very ones who would shriek to
the heavens if we were to make
the announcement, "Sorry no
services in our Temple 11 • It
would be well for all to examine
their consciences and realize
that there are certain obligations to the Temple and to t hose
who are working for it.

�MUSTY NEWSLE.'T1'ER
The Temple Youth Group has started some new projects this fall. Vfo
are going to work in the Seaway Convalescent Home, and possibly tutor
underprivileged children. These endeavors promise to be rew-drding not
only to t hose individuals involved, but to our entire community . For
in helping the people who one day may take an active part in this community, we are benefiting our community .
Also, HUSTY has been working on Friday night services which we will
be giving monthly . \le are attempting to bring in some new innovations
and interesting ideas into the Sabbatµ service .
We are all looking forward to the exciting as well as rewarding experience of Fall Conclave in Battle Creek. This year, as every year,
it promises to be a huge success .

"RECIPE FOR GROWING UP"
Teenagers want to be grown-up; the process is always difficult, for
them and for those around them . I humbly submit Ten Commandments to
teenagers, as a recipe for growing up. Here they are:
1.
2,
BE TRUE to your best self - not to the child-personality you are
discarding!
BE TOLEI-Ji.NT of your parents; they really love you!
3. BE ThCTFUL with your parents' friends; why insult them with rudeness?
4. BE TOUGH-SKINNED enough to differ from the crowa; any boob can
inimate everyone else!
5. BE TOUGH-MINDED before arriving at your own opinions; don't 1 fall 11
fihr every fad!
BE TEi. JJEFu1.TE toward the opinions of others; you are not required to
know everything!
7. BE TRUSTFUL toward the future and mankind; people are not so bad
after all .
8 . BE THhN'KFUL for your blessings; just living in the free,plentiful
air of United States is a privilege !
9. BE THOUGHTFUL of the people around you; then you won't brood so
much about yourself.
10. BE TRUST1;0RTHY in your work and play; cutting corners is one way ·
to stunt your character!
Rabbi abraham L. Feinberg
