No. 6 �WE HAVE CO1'iE OF AGE One of the outstanding events in the history of :hiiuskegon Jewry will take place on Wednesday evening, December 26th, in the Grand Ballroom of the Occidental Hotel. -.....J The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented growth of our Jewish community. 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. In ~ddi ti on, floor plans wi~l be projected upon a screen, thus enabling the entire coJntnunity to behold the finished product of the new Synagogue and Social Center. ; We congratulate Muskegon on its Coming of i,ge'. 1-iazel Tov ! :Mr. and 11rs.

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. MARTIN LUTHER KING ECUMENICAL SERVICE Sunday, January 15, 3:30 p.m, at John Wesley AME Zion Church, 886 Wood Street, Muskegon. 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. Aromas of simmering onions and steaming chickens waft from clattering kitchens. It is Shabbos eve in this Orthodox Jewish neighborhood , and everyone is bustling. Black-coated men in high felt hats hurry to thei r mikvnh, or ritual bath. Fam· ilies throng the bus stop, toting overnight bags,: waiting for the day's last bus to carry· them to the homes of relatives. '.At'. sunset, a siren will sound over Jeru· saleni, signaling the start af the J ewish Sabbath. For observant Jews, most activ· ity, ·from throwing an electric switch to sctibbling a note, will cease until sunset Saturday. 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. In short, an Israel that ls a lot like Kiryat Mattersdorf. · A Shabbos visit behind the iron gates on Panim Meirot Street gives a glimpse into the thinking that has shaped the religious parties, and an image of the kind of Israel they would like to create. Kosher Cooking The kitchen is set up for the complexi· lies of cooking kosher, or accordi ng to .Jewish dietary laws.

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.

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?" For man must know that he is not th,~ master of what he has, but only the guard ian, to carry out the will of Him who en trusted these things lo his keeping. Whosoever witholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself from the luster of the Shekhinah and the light o{ the law.

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. Somehow the scrolls etc. have come to life for us. When one actually sees such things. a deep and lasting impression is formed. .May God bless y1o,u in your work and guid,e us all to a deeper and greater understanding. Thank you again for the spirit of true friend ship you have conveyed to our young students. If we c~n ever do anything for you or in oooperation with you, ple,ase call on us.

Nevertheless, I sincerely wish that other Jewish communities may have the ')ipportunity of knowing what you have done in vour community to promote mutual respect among all the inhabitants of Muskegon.

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.

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.

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.

The course given by the Rabbi every other Wednesday, is one that should be taken by every member of the congregation. The presentation by the Ra-bbi of the laws, literature, and philosophy of the J ews throughout the ages, is lively , stimulating, interesting and scientific. - - - o- - HERE IS YOUR CHANCE to acq uire a knowledge of Judaism in all of its aspects.

As it is cust o'mary to rehearse the story of the receiving of the law on Shovuoth, each Confirmant will, during this Service, deliver a four to five minute talk on some interesting phase of the Torah. _ Eight girls a111d one boy will be confirmed this year. A very impressive program has been arranged. �SISTERHOOD Mrs. Max Shumacher and her Circle deserve much credit for the most wonderful way in which the Community Seder was arra11ged. It was not just an ordinary dinner. It was a dinner pl1;1s .. . plus dignity, beauty, and arrange d rn very fine taste. Nothi ng was left un done to make the Seder beautiful , Jewish, int eresting, and e·njoyable. It was the fi_rs 1; time in the history of the Congregation that such an affair was held. Withou t past experience, the Committee did a swell jo'b. Everyone present enjoye:i very moment of the Seder. The -spirit tha.t prevailed during the entire evening was that of one happy family celebrating the holiday of liberation-the festival of freedom. Another unique feature in the arrangements and perhaps the most noteworthy was, that the committee set th e price of the Seder dinner modest enough so as not to predude any family. There were more than 200 persons present and we are certain • that t his affair will be r emembe1·ed by everyone thro ughout the year. THE T EMPLE LIBRARY It will not be long now, w hen you will enter t he Temple Li brary and see volumes upon volumes of n ew books. poetry, novels, plays, Biblical literature, books of every description, li ning the shelves of the Library which are at prernnt crying out for occupants. Thanks to the many contributors who so warmly responded to the library ,chairman, Fred Rodoff, who asked in his recent letter to the community for sume fund s for 1books. Please remember, however, thi s is just the beginning. From this juncture on, we shall continue to built our library until it shall satisfy our needs and will become the pride of our Temple. REMEMBER THE TEMPLE L IBRARY ON THE CELEBRATION OF A BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY, BAR MITZVOH, CONFIRMATION, WEDDING, OR ANY OTHER EVENT I MPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE. THANKS TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE The religious committee including the Rabbi, is very grateful to the Youn g P e ople 's L e ague of our T emple for conducting the Friday Evening Service and the O neg Shabbath during the Rabbi's absence. Special thanks go to Francis Fine for his very fine Sermon , Jack S ~eindler for reading the Service, and Dougl.:,s Ro se n , the program chairman, for cooperating with the Rabbi in arranging this Youth Service. THIS IS NO TIME TO RELAX Let no one think th at because there is a Jewish State, the problem of Jewish homelessness is completely solved. T here are still untold thousands that need to be transported to Palestine. There is no larger and more able J ewish community to which the homeless can look for th e necessary means with which to go to Palestine, than our own. Ameri-can Jewry has don e nobly in supporting the establishment of a Jewish State. However, let us a sk what was the main reason for the establishment of the State if not to cr eate a haven of refuge for the homeless Jews of Europe? This is no time to relax. Our job is not done and will not be complete until every D. P . has left Europe. There is only one way for accomplishing this objective and that is by giving generously to the U..J.C. Many of us in our co mmunity have not shirked nor evaded the great cause. We have pledged. Let u s now t ranslate the ple dge in t er ms of silver. There are some in our community who have not pledged. This is the time to GIVE! VOICES With the summer soon here, can th e High Holy Days, be far off? The choir will :begin to rehearse soon for the High Holy Days. There are many fine voices in our Congregation, both among the men and women. Why not call up Rose Rosenberg, choir chairman, and tell her that you want to join the choir and help add to the beauty of the Holy Day Service? It is important that the number of the ,choir be doubled. As it is now, wh en one or two members of the choir takes sick, the whole choir is rendered helpless.

THE PASSOVER MESS-~GE On P esach Jews rememb er the story of li'beration from slavery. They also r ecall how, in spite of wandering and perse,c utio1n for so many ce nturies, the Jews ha ve survived and preserved their faith and culture. In their darkest days, P esa.ch gave J ews hope that they \~ould be saved, even as th eir ancestors in EgYl)t were r e deemed from slavery, and that fr eedom and pea ce would be enjoyed by all p eoples. American Jews compare Pesa.ch with Inde pendence Day, fo r both holida ys stand for freedom a nd democr acy. Coming as it does in the springt ime of the year, P esach seem ed t o say ., to th e J ew in ever y age: As spring follows ·· ··winter, so are brig hter days sure t o come after trou ble . and suff ering. -: r-r•··:· -~ o- -- - THE HAGGADAH Tlie Haggada h is t h e book of the P esa.ch celebration. Within its pages we find t he • st ory of the Exodus from Egypt, a s well as ane cdotes, prayer s, and hymns of praise, explantions of P esa.ch customs, and so ngs for children. The first part of the 1-Iaggadah, which is the older part, is ma~nly historical. It tells us the story of the Patr iarchs, of the suffering of the Jews in Egypt, and how Moses led them from slavery t o fr eedom. It explains the different P esach ceremonies, and gives the reasons for th e colorful Pesach symbols on the table. It a lso gives different interpret ations of verses in the Bible which refe r t o Pesa.ch. The second part of th e Haggadah, which is r e cited wh en the ro-ieal is e,n ded, consist s chiefly of beautiful hymns and songs. - - -o-- SISTERHOOD CIRCLE PRESENTS COMMUNITY SEDER A Seder , on the second nig ht of Passover, will be held at our 'Temple on Thursday evening, April 1 4 at 6 :45 P.M.

On this evening our Young People's Leag ue will present for our enj oym ent--the fam ous Broadway Star-Celia Adler. �IN RETROSPECT No one can say that the joyous festival, Pifrim did not receive its due recognition at our Temple, both from the religious, as well as the social angle. On Saturday afternoon March 12, members of our Sistei:hood, with Hortense Berman in charge, arranged a masquerade party for our children. The Temple auditorium was packed with our little sons and daughters and showed off their unique costumes symbolic of the celebration. Did the kids have a good time, don't ask. Thanks to our goocl. Sisterhood members who were in charge. Sunday morning, an appropriate play was presented •by the Sunday School children. Both the teachers and the actors did a swell job. After the play a Purim Service was held by the school. Rabbi Umen explained the lesson of Purim, and read the Megillah. Each child was treated to a Purim Grager, and believe us these kids certainly gave it to Haman. As a matter of fact there was nothing left of him .. On Monday evening the small chapel was crowded with worshippers who came for the Purim Service and to hear th e Megillah read. Tuesday morning, again a Purim Service was held and ~he Megillah was again read according to custom. Wednesday afternoon, Shushan Purim, a beautiful party was arranged for the two and three year olds. Mrs. Martin Friedenberg was in charge of this program. Like the other parties arrange d by Sisterhood members, this one too was a huge success. All in all, young and old h ad a lovely Purim at Temple B'nai Israel. SISTERHOOD TO SHOW PALESTINE MOVIE The last meeting of Sisterhood was enriched by a review of Paul Sartre's bool< on the Jew, given by Franny Fisher. At the coming Sisterhood meeting, on Tue~ day April 5th, the members of Sisterhood will ernjoy seeing the Palestinian Movir "Israel Reborn". Dont miss this meeting. A real treat is in store for you.

A DEMAND for the removal of Dickens· Oliver Twist from the required reading list of Perth Amboy High School was made to the Perth Amboy board of Education lby the local Teachers Union . The Union requested that the book be r eplaced by a more suitable Dicken s n ovel because Fagin is presented in Oliver Twist as "the incarnation of everything evil," and is referred to " hun dreds of times" as "the Jew." MOSHE SHERTOK has changed his name to Moshe Sharett, in accordance with t he current Israeli practice of reverting to Hebrew names. A few week s earlier E liahu Epstein, Ambassador t o W ashington, had become Eliahu Elat h. Zalma n Rubashov, lfraeli Minister of Educat ion , changed his nam e to Shazar .

The story is told in the Book of Esther, and the name is said to be derived from a foreign word, most likely from the Persian Pur which means ,c asting of lo t:, (Es ther III. 7). It is celebrated on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar. The p1'incip al ceremony connected with thP. day consisLs in the readi'ng of the Scroll of E sther at the evening service of the thirteenth and the morning service of the fourteen lh . Another ceremony which is described i n the Scroll itself is the exchange of gifts and the distribution of charity. H owe 1er, since the Scroll designates it as a day oi cheer and joy, it subsequently became a day of public festivity, though there is n o cessation of work. It is usually climaxed by a festival in the late afterno on known as the Seudah. In European countries, where the general carnivals consisting of parades, mimic plays, and m;:isqu erade3 took place at about the same seaso n of the year, the celebration of Purim was influenced by the customs of the environment. Consequently on this day plays were produced by amateurs, representing scenes from the events relate d in th e Scrolls, and at times, also from other Biblical events. The amateur players were known as Purim Spielers, Purim actors. In some communities in the mediaeval ages children u sed to burn a straw effigy representing Haman, a custom borrowe d from the carnival ceremonies. From tha t there spread a milder form of expression of both protest against the J ew hatrecl typified in Haman as well as of the hilarity which is still practiced in the synagogues, consisting of a blaring of various instruments by the children whenever the name of Haman is mentioned during th e reading of the Scroll. Besides, Purim became a day of excessive feasting and also drinking in a goodly measure, which in turn resulted in the preparation of special dishes and pastries. Needless to say that there was much jesting on that da y and expression of witticisms. Due to these features, Purim left a great impression in life and literature. It gave an impulse to the development of dramatic art among the Jews, and also to an incipient theatre. In literature it helped to develop the drama. the parody, and other kinds of humorous literature. In g e neral, in former ages, it somewhat relieved the otherwise gloomy ghetto life. Meyer Waxman (From A Hand Book on Judaism) A LETTER FROM OUR LIBRARY CHAIRMAN Dear Friend, It is our hope and desire that with yo ur help we can build the Temple Library to be one of the outstanding o nes in this area, one which you will be proud to call your own, where you can do some reading and perhap::; some res earch. To date we have a start, but only a start, and a long way to go before we can really say we have a LIBRARY. H ere is a plan for building our Library that will prove to be a co nvenience too: Fn~quent.ly you find it n ecessary to buy a gift for someone who is ei ther ill or has a Birthday or Anniversary, or in Memory of one who has passed away.A contrib ution t o the Library Fund will be in excellent taste, because we will send a letter to whomever you designate telling them of your co ntribution in their honor. Secondly, a Book-plate will be placed in your Book, s:1ying you are the donor, and space will also be provided for the name of the person you are honor ing. The Books wilJ be pm·chased from recognized lists, and Rabbi Umen will be omguide. N O SHOPPING - N O PARKING TROUBLE! ! Just call the T emple Secretary or a n y member of the Library Committee telling us of your wants, and we will do the rest. Your help is solicited and needed. Cordially yours,, Fred Rodoff, Library Chairman EXCHANGE OF HOSPITALI TY Under the guidance of a committee from our Sisterhood and the chairman of the League, the confirmation chss played host to the Youth Group of Temple Emanuel of Grand Rapids. The fine hospitality shown to the visitors will be reciprocated by the Grand Rapids group during th e week end of March 19. It is hoped that these excha nge visits will eventuate in many lasting friendships between th e individual members of each group. ---0--HEBREW SCHOOL HONOR ROLL FOR FEBRUARY Class I Class 2 Marshall Berman Barton Berman Stephen Neumer T~urt Rosen Andrew Umen .James Price Karl Lensler Herbert Klein Arthur Levy Seymour Fogel �RADIO ADDRESS ON BROTHERHOOD Delivered over W.K.B.Z. Wed. Evening, Februa ry 23, 7:15 P.M. by Rabbi Samuel Umen of the Congregation R'nai Israel Muskegon, Michigan This month being Brotherhood month, I think it is fitting and proper to ask what chance is there, if any, for brotherhood to become a reality? There are myriad differences between man and his brother ml:l:n, bet~e_en race and race, nation and_ r~at10n, rehgi_ous. denomination and rehg10us ~enomm'.1t:on. Language, physical boundane_s, rehg·10n, political ideologies, and . s ocial _customs and practices are all barriers which tend to separate rather than bnng t oget he r· and unite the peoples of the world. Is man capable in the face of all th":se hindrances to really and truly ever umt e and make Brotherhood a reality? The answer is yes. There is one likeess between man and man which o~tshadows all the differences, a nd ~hat is, all human beings are created m the image of God. The pr?phet 1:V-1alach1, speaking on the same subJect, pomts out the basis of unity among the peoples of the earbh thusly: Have we not all one father? Hath not one God crea~ed _us? It is true that some of the aspll"atio n s expressed by man thr(!ughout the ages have remained due to his weakness, m ere dreams and hopes. Yet with all his defects a~d weaknesses, man can ri se to th e level of the angel, as the Psalmist puts it. Everything God created duri ng His six days of Creation, He said that it was good except for Man. Man, unlike som e of the other things God created, is endowed with intelligence, will, a r: d faith. With these qualities, he was left t? perfect himself so that he shall ment the adjective "good". "The heavens are that of the Lord," sings King David, "but th e earth hath h e given to the children of men." This statement is none other than a chall enge to man. While there shall always be things in nature hidden from man and unintelligible to him-that is, things of the heavens, the earth-nevertheless, is given to man on which to perfect himself and make it a place for peace and happiness. Man cannot change the natural Jaws,, but he can change his own way of behavior. He can choose to be bad and he can chooose to be good. He can be fri endly or unfriendly, noble or ignoble . It is all in his own hands. History has many shi ning exampl es of heroic men who. with all th e weaknesses of human beings, rose to the level of t~e angel. Their faith in m'.1n _an d th~1r strength of will ca.used th~ir nse. As individuals, so nations can rise as examples of uprightness, justice, peace, and brotherliness. Tha.t it is not as easy to bring about better fellowship upon this earth as it is to say it, is recognizable. But we d::n-c not give up. vVe must make good th :: charge of God which is to become "good". Right now Brotherhood is a mere aspiration. It is n o more than a wish. But through man's will, thi.;; wish can become a fact. Is Brotherhood po ssible? The answer is in man's will. ---o--CELIA ADLER To Entertain Temple Membership Sunday Evening, April 3, 1949 While there are several nominees for honorary title of "first lady" of the Ameri<' , n t heatr e, t he question is settled as far as t h e Yiddish-language stage is concerned . Ackno wledge d as the reigning member of the Royal F 9.mily of the Yiddish theatre, that sprawling entity in which international tours were accepted as commonplace long before the birth of the USO, is Celia Adler, daughter of Jacob P. Adl er, and Diana Adler Fineman, Miss Adler first was seen on the stage at the age of two, a nd hardly a season has passed since her childhood that has not seen her behind the footlig,hts. For her discerning audienCei, she has animated such classics as "Dolls's House," "The Cherry Orchard," "Mrs. Warren's Professio,n ," "Othello," "Resurrection," and "Camille," to name but a few of her triumphs. She also has given memorable performances in some of the most successful plays of the Yiddish authors, including "A String of Pearls," by Sholem Asch; "Green Fields" and "Idle Inn," by Peretz Hershbein; "Stempenu," by Sholom Aleichem: "The Vow," by Chaim Lieberman, an d t he n ever-to-b eforgotten production of "The Dybbuk," by Ansky. Broadway has seen Miss Adler on previous occasions : George J essel's production of "Millions" and The Theatre Guild's production of "Treasure." Lately she co-starred with Paul Muni in "A Flag Is Born" and appeared on the screen in Mark H ellinger's latest film "Naked City." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Not only is it gratifying to see so many take advantage of the opportunity to study, but it is even more gratifying to note the progress that is being made by the respective groups in their respective courses. We look forward to the day wh en our curriculum will expand through the demand of many more of our members and friends who will want additional cr- ur;,es. Om· beautiful Temple has the facilities. What we need now is the will and enthusiasm to use these faciliti es for e nri chi ng ourselves spiritually. OUR HEBREW SCHOOL Our Hebrew School is progressing from week to week. The children are learning more and more. If our Temple did nothing else but support a school where our children could acquire a Hebrew education, its existence were justified. Thanks to our leaders for their vision and cooperation in making it possible for our c hildren to study their religion and the language in which the greatest Book was written-the Hebrew language. Parents who would like to have their children join our Hebrew School, are urged to register them now for next September. ---- OP E N SCHOOL WEEK Sunday, March 6, Monday, March 7, and Wednsday, March 9, our Sunday and Hebrew Schools will be open to the parents. At this time the parents will have an opportunity to see what their children are studying, and how they are doing in the respective schools. All parents, who have children attending our schools, are urged to make a special effort and visit the schools on the above given dates. Let the children see that their parents are interested in their studies. ---o--THE YOUNG PEOPLE 'S LEAGUE The dance held on January 8, by the Young People's League, proved to be a huge success. The large turnout and the enthusiastic spirit evinced by the young folks at this affair. showed that more of rnch gatherings are needed. According to Herbert Fisher, head of the League, several similar socials are planned. For the delectation and edification of the Temple membership at large, a series of forums, lectures, and concerts are being arranged to be given by top speakers and entertainers selected from the fine st agencies throughout the country. The first evening of entertainment will be given toward the end of F e bruary. All the details and information pertaining to this program will be given through the mail. ' The Young People's League is marching forward. Let us all go forward with the League. ---- BULLETIN NEWS If there is anything of imnortance and interest to the community a Temple me'Ylber would like to have published in th e ·'· Temple Bulletin, the article should be. ,· sent to the Temple not later than the 20th' ·· of the month, and addressed to Eug-ene Fisher, editor.

Friday night at the Temple, one has an opportunity to m eet his fellow Jew, to meet with the Rabbi, to indulge in di scussion, which usually reaches high levels of thought. Prayer, round-table discussion, tea and cake, meeting with friends and singing is the order of the evening. Where in Muskegon can such a pleasant evening be duplicated? Those who come to the T emµl e on Friday nights know how rewarding it is. Those, who as yet hav e not visited the Temple on this great evening, are invited to come. We need each other for m ental stimulation and social enjoyment. ---o--- OUR LIBRARY With children growing up in our community, studying in our Sunday and Hebrew &hoots, and Adults taking courses during the year in our Temple, a wellequipped Library is of first impo1·tance. Books are tools. A library is a workshou. A workshop without tools is useless. We have the workshop, but we need the tools. It is very important that the shelves of our library are lined with the proper books. All donations of books for our library, and all monevs for books for our library, are to go to Fre d Rodoff, who is in charge of the library. ---0--SISTERHOOD The needs of Sisterhood this year ar e much more than in previous years. Our 8undav School is much larger than it has been in the past. More supplies are required in the form of books and other equipm ent. Then there is the Hebrew School, an addition to be reckoned with. It takes funds to run a sc hool proner'.y. To m eet the required budget. Mrs. Harry S. Berman, Sist erhood president, organ ized a number of projects and divid ed un her m embership into ci1,cles. each circl e working on a fund-raising project. It is hoped that every circle will do its share, and that every member in the circle will not relax until the work is don e. With each circle fulfilling each obligation, and every member of Sisterhood lending :>. hand , Si sterhood will m eet its budget. WE PRAY W e pray that Almighty God se nd a sneedv recovery to all our m ember who ai·e indi sposed. OUR TEMPLE Our Temple aims, through its varied program, t o promote understanding, neighborliness, fellowship, and harmony, without which there is no unity or co- _ operation. Our Temple serves as a community center, by providing a meeting place for all groups of a civic or cultural nature. Our Temple helps the community to sound adion on Jewi,;h issues, by providing knowle dge and understanding of the Jewish scene, which is essential to intelligent participation in Jewish Causes. Our T empl e serves the Jewish Community in inter-cultural a nd civic relationships, in the Council of Social Agencies, in educational and civic bodies, thereby interpreting the Jew to the non-Jew, and helping the J ewish community to make a contribution to the civic, social, and cultural life of the community. Our Temple lends dignity to a Jewish life, and is a so urce of justifiable pride to every Jew. For every Jew, member of the Temple or not. shares in the respect paid by the community to the Temple as :>. community asset. · Our Temple serves the community by training democratic leadership. It serves the commuity by being communityminded. It supports community planning in the Jewish and general community, therby helping to build a healthy, progressive, community life. Finally, our Temple serves the community by creating a Jewish atmosphere, by building Jewish consciousness and Jewish loyalties, thus creating the conditions for meaningful living. Our Temple is a Beth Am-House of t he People. "SEPARATE NOT THYSELF FROM THE COMMUNITY.

CON F ER E NCE In two historic days of co nf erence in Atlantic City, American Jewish leadersh ip assessed and assum·ed . its responsibility for the coming months toward Israel and toward the surviving J ews of E.1:n1ope. The delegates, ga.thered in record attenda nce at the Chelsea Hotel, January- 12 and. 13, and representing lhe Jewish leaders hi p of co mmunities : in practically e ·, ery stat e of the natio !], in a series of sessions that went from business-like ana lysis of budgets to peaks of emotional 0xaltltion, came away determin ed that in the year 1949 the DP camps must be emptied and Israel strength ened. To thi 3 end the delegates adop~ed a resolution calling for a national United J ewish Appeal goal of a minimum '.o f $25 0,000,000 in 1949. The sense of the discussion was that although American J ews had responded magnificently in 1948 in making available more than $150,000,000 for t he n ee ris of the UJA agencies, they harl not r eac hed the full amount of the established goal for the year, aI;}d the goal for 1949 .was adopted with the feeling that the J ewish eom munity w~s g iving itself another chance at the moment of greatest opportunity in Jewish h\story, and that t his time "we s hall really do it." ---o--EDW ARD M. M. WARBURG : "WE CAN SOL VE IT T HIS Y E AR" The Conference was brought to a close with one of the most moving addresses ever made by Edward M. .M. Warburg, and his eloquent sincerity has already become lege nd throughout the country. "Sure, we came arirl said one time giving three years ago," he declared. "Again we upped it and again we upped it, and people are getting- tired. I have to go out and ask people for money; I know. Rut at the sa me time we never had a campaign with this kind of stor:y to tell. Thi s isn't a question of dreams. Thi s isn't a question of theories. This isn't a question of hope. This is a question of fact. We can s olve it this y ear . . . . "What w e have bee n talki ng about her e for the past two days is the simple fact t hat everything is ready_ every thing is in motion, everything- is organized for th~ liquidation of the DP problem. All that is needed is that the American J ewish co mmunity does not slacken its efforts. "This is one of the most fantastic phe nomena of human engineering that hav e ever occurred. You are a oartner in it. You are an architect of the future. Let uo try to build so m ething that we are · proud of to leave to our children." ZIONIST MEM B ERSHIP . Dr. Abba Hillel Silver has -appealed to , Amei'ican Jews to join the Zioni st Organization. H e . stated '.' We must remain m obilized and aler ted because it is the last battle, the d ecisi v·e battle. You may score ma.ny a victory in a war: If you lose the last battle, you lose the war. There is still great n eed for political effort on the part of America. In connection with that, I shoula like to say, taking th e larger perspec tiv e of the problem, that Israel will r e quire Zionist support in America for a generation to come-I say Zionist support, not merely Jewi sh support.

When the priest reentered the Temple and wanted to light the perpE'tual light, they found but one small cruse of holy oil sealed with the seal of the High Priest, that contained oil sufficient for only one day, but by a miracle, it burned for eight ray ·. Th·e refore we ce!ebrate Chanukah ty lighting candl es for eight nights. ·- - - 0 - - - W HY GAMES ARE PLA Y EO ON CHANUKA H The ide2. of playing all so1'ts of games on Chanukah, while the candle-lights are burning, originated from the playing of chess, which was permitted on this hoiiday. Chess, according to the Ancie;1t Arabian historians, originated in Indla. It was introduced in China in the fifth century of the present reckon ing, whence it was introduced into Persia in th e sixth century. In the year 960 it was introduced in Arabia. The playing of Chess was not permitted by the Rabbi s at first, but later it was allowed on Chanukah as the moyes in the garr.? correspond to military tactics, t.hus symb"'izing the strategy and warfare of Jpdah the Maccabee, and because it is a gaue of skillful thou1rht. L '1 ter on. other gam ' S were permitted a, well, so that. today ::JJ sorts of mental amus~menti such as c ~rds, dice, and other devices of similar n::iture, are indulged in on Chanukah. ---0--- s.o ..s. Let us be thankful t hat we l ive in Amerka; that the horrors of war such as Europe experienced is unknown to us and will forever be kept away from our shores. But saying thanks is not enough. Word :, a.re meaningless unless they ar e t.rans;ated into acts. Let us show our thanks by h elping the unfun.unate of Em'ope with whatever we can. Every Wednesday is S. 0. S. day in our Temple. J oin the S.O.S. circl e. Give a lh".e o.i' your time. Sew a cov ering for a b ody that waits to be covered. Come thb W ednesday. Join the S.O.S. circle. Answer the S.O .S. call. Francis Steindler, Chairman IN RETROSPECT The m emory of Muskegon Jewry was enriched on Sunday, November 21. The 'I'eistimonial Dinner, to L eo Ro sen and the dedication ceremonies in honor of our new Temple will b e remembered by us for a long time. This day, as our Rab bi ' said in his sermon, was one of the "supe;r human moments" in the history of the community. The festive spirit this day was so strong t h at it touched eve;rybody in the community-Jews and gentiles alike. All day congratulatory notes and the most beautiful flowers kept pouring in from well wishers of greater Muskegon . The Synagogue looked like a rose in June, like a bridegroom under the canopy waiting for the bride. T he Testimonial Dinner in the Occidental Hotel was concentrated on the building chairman, Leo Ro sen . Here the spealoors communicated to Leo the gratitude of the communi-'. y for a job well done. The spirit w as high, t he people w ere in a celebrating mood, but with all that, they remembered that far away from Muskegon another institution-somewhat bigger than their own was built to which they were all related. This bigger institution, the Sbte of Israeli was h onored, and one of the school rooms of the t emple was dedicated to he I sraeli hero es. The dedication program in t he evel"ing was of a more solemn nature. The temple was packed with J ews and gentiles. The music was well selected for the occasion, the choir was superb, the sermon of the Rabbi translated the mood of the audience, and the significance of the occas10n. The guest speaker, Professor Wir ~h. emphasized the lesson of toleran.-:e, brotherhood and the proper respect for huma n dignity regardless of color, race, religion, or national origin. No. it is hard to report fully how it was on November 21, at the T estimonial D inner and during the dedication ceremonies. One had to be there to see things with his own eyes and feel with his own heart . ---o--A TOUR THROUGH THE BUILDING It was grntifying to see hundreds of mEn, wom , n, and children go through the bui ldi ng during d edicatory w eek. The reaction to the desie;n of the building was mos~ favorable. The feeling on the par t of all our gu ests was that this Synagogu e was m ore than a house of worship, i t was a contribu tion to the c : mmunity at large. �CORRESPOND E NCE Novemb er 17, 1948 Rabbi Samue l Umen Temple B'Nai I srael Muskegon, Michigan Dear Rabbi Umen: Mrs. Ashbacker and I, with our guests, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Keh let, enjoyed every moment of the program last evenin1s at Temple B'Nai Israel.

THE SERVICES FOR THE HIGH HOLY D AYS T he services for the High Hol ydays may well be considered the climax of J ewish worship. In t 1' em t he m ost important J ewish ideals are expressed: Th e Sovereignty of God over al·! cr eatures, the brotherhood of th e human family, the revelation of the divin e spirit to man, the providence oi God, the concept of reward and punishment, the r estoration of the Jewish people and th e ~·an ctu ·: r y in Zion where a ce nter for enlighte nm ent for ma nkind shall be created. In addition i.o th ese ideas , t h e id ea of r -:,noun cing on e's own i i ns, s ·· eking forgive ness, and vowing to lead a clean life is emphasized on the Day of Aton ement. On these days it is the desire of the J ew to elevate himself above his daily routine a n d to draw near to God. For this r easo n, these days are dedicated entirely to worship an d medita ti on . For this purpose, the service was elaborately built up on laudations a nd prayers, hymns and poems, meditations and petition s. THE TRADITIONAL AND COMMUNI T Y SERVICE Ther e will be two types of Services cond uct ed by Ra.bbi Umen during the High Holy Days---a traditionaJ servi ce for worshippers who prefer the Orthodox ritual and a Reform servic e for those who prefer th e Reform ritual. Silverman's prayer book will be u sed for the traditional service and othe H ebrew Union prayer book for the co mmunity Service. HE LP THE USHER S A group of fin e young me n have volunteer ed t<? act as ushers during the High Holy Day S,:,rv1ce. T he ushers have been charged wi th th e respon sibility of helping Congregants to their seat:-: and mai ntain absolute de corum during th e Service. Congregants are urged to cooperate wi th th e ushers and help make their task as pleasant as possible. SCHEDULE OF SERV ICE FOR S U CCOTH Succoth, Monday and Tuesday, October 18, 19.

It is important to remember, however, tha t Lh ere is a Sabbath Morning Service too. Heretofore, the Saturday Morning Service was poorly attended. It is expected that more men women and children will fill the beautiful pew~ in the small chapel Saturday mornings. If there is a will, there is a way. Let us strive to keep our Synagogue crowded at al'l services. The Synagogue is here at last. Let us not forsake it. Stone walls do not a Synagogue make. OPENING FRIDAY EVENING SERVICE The first formal Friday evening community Service for the New Year will be held on Friday, October 29th, at 8 :15 P.M .. A co mmunity social will follow the Service each Friday evening. T ea and cake will be served by the Sist erho od. Discussion and Zmirot (so ngs) will be lead by the Rabbi. Make every Friday night Temple Night! A MESSAGE FROM OUR RITUAL CHAIRMAN A M ESSAGE FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT This N ew Year will: see us all gathered in our beautiful Synagogue which is now an actuality a s th e stone of which it is fashioned. It was not easy to make our dream a reality. It took not only of our means and time, it also took untold energy from al1 those who stood in the front r anks a nd dro ve the job to completion. Be as it may, the work is done and w e are all proud of our accomplishment. H ad there not been men of courage, determinina tion and filled with a zeal to carry on Jewish life in Mu sk ego n, our task would have been much more difficult. It is to these older men and women still alive and those aheady gone to the way of all fle sh that we owe a deb t of gratitud e. It is th ey who kept the fire burning during the past years. They laid the foundation for the work. To those still here to join us in our prayers in the new Synagogue I want to say God Bl:ess You All. To those who are gone may their memories be for a blessing. With this n ew building an d our new abl e Rabbi we can all look forward to a New Year of many fruitful a ccomplishments. LEO ROSEN MESSAGE FROM THE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT I want to t ake this opportu nity of thanking the officers, Board of Directors of the Congregation, and Sist erhood, as well as every memb~r of B'nai Israel who cooperated to the fu ll rn speeding the work of our magnifice nt Synagogu e which will be ready for the High Holy Days Service. The Synagogue should serve as a symbol· of what can be accomplished wh en there is united action on the part of a community. There i s of course much left to be done before th e Synagogue will be ready for dedication some time in Nove mber. I am certain that the congregation will see the job t hrough to th e last finishing touch and that wit h Rabbi Umen as our leader we shall soar to unprecedented heights during the coming year. May it b e God's win that H e be with us in the House we built in His name and may it be our will that we be with God everywhere and at all tim es. May He bless us all with a New Year of Healt h, Happiness, Prosperi ty and P eace. Paul Wi ener The year 5709 is on the threshold and we, the J ewish Community of Muskegon are fully prepa r 3d to greet a nd receive this New Year not on :y with the most magnificent House of Worshi p in the midwest, but with servi,c es so arranged as to satisfy the need of both the traditional as well as the Reform of our brethren. l: f eel confident that this year will mark the beginning of a period of prodgress in our J ewish life. W e have the facil ities and we have the leadership. All that is required of us now is the wil' to march forward. I have complete fa ith in my broth ers and sisters that they will' not fail. Let. us start right from t he beginning by followin!," th e program outlined by our Rabbi and success will be ours. Somewhere in this bull etin you will notice the ~c hec ul e of the Service for the High Holy Days. In th e name of the ritual· committee I requ est every one of our worshippers to acquaint himself with the schedule so as t o help preserve the high est degree of decorum not only during the Service but even during intermission periods. I pray to God t hat He bless us all with a Year free from want, sickness, fear and hate, and give us health, happiness and peace of mind. Samuel G. Klayff MESSAGE FROM OUR SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT The promise that God shall collect us from the corners of the earth has partiall y been fu lfilled for th e J ews in Muskegon. With the new Synagogue standing in all its majesty and glory ready for occupancy, we shall be afforded at l·ast a place in which we shall all be al:lle to meet a nd cany on our work as Jews for our benefit and that of our children . Heretofore we were scattered all over the town. In one place we had a l'uncheon , in an other our religious school, in a third our Sabbath Senices, in a fourth our meetings. Thankti to our God who ena bled us to see the day wh en we ca n be gathered into one beautiful place, our New Synagogue. We, th e Sisterhood of B'nai Israel, look forward to a year rich in activity and crowned with succ ess in all' of our undertakings. We have t h e facilities, we have a leader in Rabbi Umen who will h elp lead us and guide us. Let our work equal the beauty of our new House. It can and wil'l be done with God' s help and the cooperation of every Sisterhood member. -8- May our Loni bl ess you all with a New- Year L ll ed with j oy, health and success. HORTENSE BERMAN �We pray, 0 Lord, that this year be for all of us and for al'J mankind a year of sustenance and cheer. Help us to make it a year of life and health, a year of sustenance and cheer. Help us to make it a year of consecration to the Torah, of devotion to I srael, of loyalty to Zion and of service to humanity; a year of faith and wisdom to meet the perplexities and perils which may beset us. On this Rosh Hashanah and in the days to come, may we acknowledge Thee our Father and regard all: men as brothers. May it ~e a year of peace, concord and serenity, a year in which Thy Spirit will fill the hearts of all Thy children everywhere.

During these ye I have been at t he bedside of your loved ones, ministering to the sick, and comforti ng the bereaved among you, welcoming newcomers into the community, and sharing in your joys. V.y home and my time have been st the complete service and call of those in need of guidance or comfort and I have ever been r eady to cope wit!-, the t housand and one problens that make up the life of a cor.ununity. This Bulletin, begun two years ago with the Rosh Hashonah issue of 1945, has been a source not only of news of communal interest, but of education and information about Jewish ideas and events as they affect American Jewry, and it is through this Bulletin that I wi sh to bid a farewell to the Jewish Community of Muskegon. I am proud in the knowledge that I leave you more unified in purpose and in action than ever before and that the building for which we all have labored is about to be consecrated , and I pray that with this incentive, you will continue forward in spiritual fulfillment. It has been a joy to have served you, but i have felt impelled to answer the cal l of a larger community with unlimited opportunities for service and accomplishment. Mrs. Satlow and I look forward to greeting you all at the High Holy Dey Services and to bidding you a personal farewell before our departure. May God bless you and keep you on this New Year and in all the years that are to come! Very faithfully yours, Rabbi Lewis Satlow. OUR APPRECIATION OUR NEW BUILDING We wish to express our deepest thanks to Mrs. J erome Cherin, chairman of the Bulletin Committee , and her co-workers, Mrs. Sam ShUJDacher and Mrs. Jack Steindler. • Because of their efforts in the preparation of New Year greetings, this Bulletin is a larger and more complete edition than ever before. During our High Holidays last year, a promise was given that every possible effort would be exerted to start the construction of our new Jewish Center and House of Worship with the hope and aim of having it available to house our services this Rosh Hashonah. For reasons beyond our control we failed by several weeks to do so. Because of this your Board and I, and the many members who have also been so very helpful, are truly sorry and disappointed. However, the new building is no longer "a wish beyond the realm of hope or time". It is now a reality, "a dream" fast coming true, as its form and beauty proudly proclaims to our entire community! Plans in every detail for its speedy completion and furnishing have been made and will be carried out, provided that the old pledges continue to be paid when due, and further that each member subscribe his proper share of the new pledge total necessary for financing it to completion. This done, it will tr1' be the kind of a New Year which Board and I wish all of you, namely, one which will bring the happiness, pride, and blessings that our new Center and House of Worship will provide for all of Muskegon Jewry.

The past year has seen the developuent of many of our plans and within a few weeks we shall be enabled to dedicate our new building as the center of all communal activities. At t his time I wish to thank all those who have assisted me in the furtherance of our work and to ask your continued support in the year to come. It is with deep regret that I announce the resignation of Rabbi Lewis Satlow who has endeared himself to al l of us, and it is my hope t hat the fine program instituted by him will be continued in the future. We wish him Godspeed i n his new position and we hope that Rabbi and Mrs. Satlow will find much happiness in their new community, where they will conti nue to serve God and man. Looking forward to greeting each one of you personally at our High Holy Day services, I remain Samuel G. Klayf, President B 1 NAI SISTERHOOD As president of the Muskegon Jewish Sisterhood I extend to you greetings on the New Year, May it bring a joyous and healthful year to all and peace and unity to our brethren all over the world. The building of our new Temple will bring great joy to us all, and we will need t he help of every member of our community to make 5708 a year of success. May I express my gratification at the fine attendance at our opening tea at my home. The spirit of unity was evident throughout the evening, as almost every woman of our community enjoyed the evening's program, It is this spirit of unity that we wish to see continued during the coming year, We invite all those interested in building a better Judaism in Muskegon , to j oin our ranks so that together with the other 300 chapters of the National Federation of Temple ~isterhoods, we may carry on a program for the betterment of American Jewry. Hortense Berman, President B 1RITH HADASSAH With t he advent of a new year at hand, the Abraham Rosen Lodge No. BOP of B'nai B 1rith in Greater Muskegon extends a cordial greeting to all. It is our earnest hope that in the year to come many new members will be enrolled on our roster, and that many former members will reaffiliate with- the brotherhood. We plan a program of diversified activities which we believe will earn the support of all the men in our community. Our first social meeting at the Slovak Hall will be to welcome all the newcomers who will be our guests that evening. As a result of our local program we hope to further the two major aims of B'nai B 1rith. The first is to assist in the work of the Anti-Defamation League which is aggressively fighting t he insidious forces in our land, Our second is to further the splendid work of the Jewish students on the campus of university "!i college through the Hillel Foundaons. With your cooperation, we may accomplish these objectives, and it is in this spirit that we wish you and yours a very happy New Year. Francis N. Fine, President It i s the happy privilege of the Hadassah president to greet the members of the community in the name of Hadassah and to wish them a happy and prosperous New Year. There is no need at this time to emphasize the work of Hadassah. We are all aware of its high purposes as it attempts to bring healing unto our brethren in the Holy Land, and as it extends a relping hand to the children of the Displaced Persons Camps as they enter a new life in the Promised ·Land, The thinking woman of today cannot confine her activities to the boundaries or her home and community. What a thrill it is to discover that the hand you've stretched out to help has been joined by so many other hands and has thus been able to multiply its acts of mercy. The greatest revelation is that the most good has really been done to oneself. This broadening of t he sphere of her activity is further reflected in her home, The new year approaches. Let us meet its problems with courage and good cheer , Marcie Locke, President �·* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEW YE AR GREETINGS* ***•*• •*****• **• • **• * * Rabbi and Mrs. Lewis Satlow extend their sincere wishes for a year of health, happiness and peace.

Our babies in Europe must be clothed, therefore the .SOS collection must include the Sll'eaters, soakers and other baby garments made by the sewing 1mits of the Jewish women of America. Last year, in spite of the late start, a large quantity of baby clothes were produced by members of Sisterhood and sent overseas. The following _ participated in this worthy project: llrs. Sam Ashendorf, Mrs. Louis Darmstadter, Dolly Sstlow, Florence Rosen, Lois Cherin, Irene Steindler, Rose Friedenberg, Libby Rose, Ada Hecht, Hortense Berman, Gene Berman, Joan Hirshfield, Rose Lawson, Barbara Lawson, Leah ShU111acher, Lotta Shumacher, Elaine Friend, Rose Rosenberg, Irene Siegel, Fan Stern, Sylvia Rogers, Miriam Fisher, Marcia Rosen and Rhoda Rosen. During this coming year, let us all help in this fine cause which will keep these little tots alive and warm. My home will be open to all those who would like to contribute their services to sew and knit for these layettes. Frances Steindler, chairman TRIBUTE TO NEWPORT SYNAGOGUE A special program on August 31st marked the official ceremonies naming the Touro Synagogue of Newport, Rhode Island as a national shrine. This is part of the work of the Department of Interior by which our government helps preserve historic sites. The Touro Synagogue was bull t in 1763 by ~panish Portugese Jews who came to Newport in 1658 in response to Roger Williams' declaration of religious freedom. It is known as one of the most beautirui examples of colonial architecture in the country today, and it was here that George Washington delivered the fS111ous lines embodying his concept of religious liberty. RELIGION AND POLITICS "Whenever a minister or Rabbi preaches on a political or social issue, someone inevitably makes the statement that religion and politics do not mix. Sometimes this charge is made out of the sincere conviction that the democratic principle of the separation of church and state is here involved • • • • There is also the prevalent misconception present in these charges that life is a departmental affair, with "religion" as a Sabbath observance, bounded by the weekdays from the harsh realities of existence • • • • While it is correct for the preacher to offer up platitudes on moraljty and justice, any attempt to concretize ethical values in terms of every day life is looked upon as a breach of etiquette, according to the fashionable code. • Even should the preacher attempt neutrality on vital issues concerning the destiny of men, he cannot do so for even in silence he is taking sides. • • --Rabbi Norman E. Goldburg YOUR RABBI IN THE COUMUNITY On August 23rd and 24th, Rabbi Satlos represented the Jewish community at the Good Will Conference at Camp l!)aory on Big Blue Lake, under the auspices of the Michigan Council of Churches. The purpose of this Conference was to bring together representatives of varied groups such as: Churches, business, labor, industry, farming, education, social work, minority groups for the developaent of goodwill and mutual understanding. Your Rabbi will broadcast a New Year message to the non-Jewish comm1mity over station 10IUS on Sunday, September 14th, at 12 noon. Rabbi Satlow will mark United Nations Week in a special message over IIIUS or Wednesday, Sept8111ber 17, at 5100 p.m. On behalf of the United Jewish Appeal, the Rabbi has been aaked to address the Jewish community of Petoskey on September 18th. �IN l!EIIORIAM In loving memory of my beloved husband, by lrs.

To meet the growing calls for help, JDC has called upon SOS to supply at least 6,000,000 pounds of food, clothing and other necessities of life before winter comes. The spirit created abroad by this communal lifeline of supplies is priceless. Jews in DP camps, waiting months and years for pennission to re-enter the world, receive a can of food from a Muskegon pantry, a layette sewed and knitted by our local SOS sewing unit under the chairmanship of Mrs. Milton Steindler, shaving supplies and books, toys and other necessities.

It may pierce the heart of your dearest friend Tipped with its poison or its ba!Jn: To a stranger heart in life's great mart It may carry its pain or its ca!Jn, You never can tell when you do an act Just what the result will be; But with every deed you are sowing a seed Though its harvest you may not see, Each kindly act is an acorn dropped In God's productive soil; Though you may not know, yet the tree shall grow And shelter the brows that toil, You never can tell what your thoughts will do In bringing you hate or love; For thoughts are things and their airy wjngs Are swifter than carrier doves; They follow t he law of the Universe--Each thing must produce its kind And they speed over the track to bring you back Whatever went out of your mind.

The hush of solemnity surrounded the services, for the most terrible now of blood in the memory of mankind was finally ended. The remnants of European Jewry were being gathered together from extermination camps, field and forest. Our sons were directing homeward their weary but happy footsteps, and the United Nations was prepari ng the framework for that brave new world. Another Rosh Hashonah approaches, the season of judgment and reckoning. As we look back upon the cycle of days just ending, we are impelled to pause and te.lce stock. Have t hese days brought f'ul.fillment or disappointment? Within the heart of every Jew there i s the sad awareness that Jewry has suf• fered immeasurably from the recent world catastrophe. One of the biblical read• ings for Rosh Hashonah is the expressi on of woe of the prophet Jeremiah on beholding the destruction of Jerusalem: "Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to bE! comforted for her children because they were not." Rachel, the symbol of Jewish motherhood, still weeps for her children. The borders of the Promised Land are closed unto the many thousands of those rem• nants who weakly knock on its gates. The Palestine Conference is now i n session in London, and it is our fervent hope that God will remove the hardness from the hearts of the British and Arab delegateg so that the final solution of the problem of Jewish homelessness may at last be attained. May the word of comfort vouchsafed unto Jeremiah be f'ul.filled: May the . New Year, 5707, be the Day of Judgment which will bring peace to the afflicted in Israel and to all the nations of the world. Then will the prophecy of Jeremiah be fulfilled: "Refrain thy \loice from ~eeping and thine eyes tears, for thy work shall be from rewarded and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in the end, saith the Lord1 and thy children shall come again to their border." LATE FRIDAY EVENING SERVICES The late Friday evening services wi), be resumed on Oct. 11th at 8115 o'cloc Rabbi Satlow's sermon that evening wi be "A Frail Little Succah." At the beginning of this New Year, let us resolve to attend Synagogue services regularly, for attendance on the Sabbath is the means of communion between man and God and the method of maintaining the religious community of Israel: SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday School will again meet at the Hackley School building, Registration .for new students will take place at 9:30 A,M, on Sunday, October 6, prior to the opening of the first session of the school year, All those who wer e in attendance last year need not r egister, but are to report for class to their rooms at 10 o'clock.

At the Yiskor services, this Yom Kippur, we shall recall with sorrow in our hearts, Jerome Stern, who gave his life on the field of battle. I wish to thank the members of the congregation for the cooperation they extended to Rabbi Satlow and myself during the past year. We have made great . strides in our sacred work of bringing Judaism closer to the hearts of our Jewish community, and with your continued support, we shall be enabled to better serve God and man. Looking forward to greeting each one of you personally at our Sabbatt. services, I remain, SAMUEL G. KLAYF SISTERHOOD As president of the Muskegon Jewish Sisterhood, I take this opportunity to wish all of you a sincere and heartfelt happy New Year. In every phase of life tr.ere is both a giving and a taking. To those of our brethren less fortunate than ourselves, we have been giving and will continue to give in as great a measure as will be necessary to enable the oppressed to regain their self-respect. A year of taking -- taking upon ourselves the responsibilities of the Synagogue, the maintenance of our Religious School, and the duties of Jewish womenhood lies ahead of us. We must take unto ourselves the task of promoting greater harmony and sociability between all members of our col!IJllunity and thus further the highest ideals in Jewish life. GENE BERMAN, President HADASSAH B 1NAI B I RITH Muskegon B'nai B'ritt. extends greetings and best wishes for a happy and peaceful New Year. We wish to thank Muskegon Jewry for the splendid support and cooperation given us during the past year . Through your combined efforts last year's splendid goal of furnlshing a room in Hackley Hospital and providing for its maintenance for a period of ten years has been fully realized. The midsummer fareily picnic proved to be a great social and financial success, and we · are planning otter community functions for your enjoyment and for the furth erance of the ideals of the great Order of B'nai B 1rith. We f ace the New Year with greater confidence, secure in the knov1ledge that all of our boys have r eturned from the ~ed forces, and will lend tteir efts to make this year of 5707, a year f u.~parall elled achievement in B'nai B'rith history. LO UIS M. BERMAN , President Hadassah once more joins in wishing the Muskegon community a new year of peace and contentment. The past year has brought many of us happiness in the return of our sons and husbands. It is our greatest desire that in the coming year we will see the gates of Palestine open as a home for the thousands of our fellow Jev:s still suffering in the concentration camps of Europe. The women of Had,·.ssah have worked hard to ease the suffering of these wanderers and we know that now, more than ever before, our work must go on; that we must not doubt the success of our goal or falter in our efforts. It is with this in mind that our officers and chairmen have planned an extensive program of inte_resting meetings and social affairs for the coming year. Thanks to tbe Abe Ashendorfs., we are again inviting the community to join us on October 5th in an evening of relaxation to celebrate the end of Yom Kippur and the begj.nning of a successful New Year. We are happy to greet all our old members and offer a hearty welcome to those just joining our ranks. To you al l we say L 1 shonah Tovah Tikosevu! REEVA M. LEVY, President �THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN ON JEWISH EDUCATION Many have wondered at the continual ability of the Jewish peopla to survive e· major cataclysm, What is the secret of Jewish survival? What has made us the ete people? The answer is readily available to all conversant with Jewish history and Jewish life, The formal education of the Jewish child took place in the religious school, but the fundamental basis of his education developed in the home, From his earliest infancy he came under the direct influence of his mother, She it was who taught him his prayers for rising in the morning and for going to bed at night, The child watched his mother prepare the special foods for the Sabbath and the festivals, he observed her kindling the Sabbath candles and heard her murmur the prayers over them, As he grew old enough to ask questions, his mother would patiently explain the significance of each holiday and its celebration. Thus, even prior to attaining school age, the Jewish child already had a background of history and religion, When the child reached five years of age, it was the mother who brought him to the Cheder, carrying along sweet things to make his introduction to the school a pleasant one, The daughter who remained at home received her religious instruction ff'om the mother, Our history is replete with stories of heroines who left their indellble mark upon the subsequent generations of Jewish youth, One name that stands out as a pioneer in Jewish education is that of Rebecca Gratz who founded the first Sunday School in America, She gave not only of her fortune, but of her tremendous energies and high social idealism, When she realized that textbooks were not yet available in English, Rebecca Gratz herself wrote entire series of books and prayers for the children of her school, Jewish women continue to play an important role in reshaping the Religious School for the American child. However, in many cases, home observance and religious practice have become weakened with the subsequent loss in loyalty and understanding of the faith of our fathers. This .has brought a far greater responsibility to those engaged in the religious training or our children, In the new year which now faces us, every women in Israel must resolve to strengthen Jewish home life, and to forge ever more effectively the bond between bane and school, so that our children may become better Jews, better Americans and better citizens of th~ world, This is the challenge of the New YearJ CHILDREN'S SUCCOS SERVICE '\. The children of our Religious School will participate in a special service marking Succos and Simchas Torah on Sunday morning, October 13th, at 10:30 A,M, ! Sucah on the pulpit, decorated by the members of our Sisterhood with the fruits of the harvest season will serve as the setting, Children from four through six years of age will carry flowers in procession to the altar, while those between the ages of seven and twelve will march with baakets of fruit and deposit them on the pulpit, symbolizing the ancient processions made by our ancestors on Succos, when they brought the first fruits of the harvest . season to the Temple in Jerusalem. After the traditional procession of the Torahs around the Synagogue, all children who are entering our Religious School for the first time will be called to the pulpit and blessed by the Rabbi, CRADLE ROLL We are happy to add to our Cradle the following children who have arrived since the publication of our last bulletin: Gilbert Ashendorf, William Rosenberg, Gordon Tessler, �*********************** * NEW YEAR GREETINGS * *************w ********* Rabbi and Mrs, Lewis Satlow extend their sincere wishes for a year of health, happiness and peace, Mr. Louis Aron wishes a very happy New Year, all his friends Mr, and Mrs. Tony Aron and David extend the season's heartfelt greetings to all, Mr, and Mrs. Abe Ashendorf and son cordially extend the season's greetings to all, Mr, and Mrs, Isador Ashendorf and Gilbert wish their friends a very happy New Year, llr, and Mrs. Harry Ashendorf wish their friends a new year filled with joy, Mr, and Mrs. Max Ashendorf cordially extend holiday greetings to all, Mrs. Sam Ashendorf and Jake Ashendorf wish you all a very happy New Year, Dr, Ralph August, Sandra and Irwin, wish their many friends a very happy New Year, To all our friends a New Year filled contentment, Mr, and Mrs. Stanley Baru and family, with llay the New Year bring happiness and contentment to all, Mr, and Mrs, Harry H.

Friday evening, May 10th "A Jew in Search of Himself" f. discussion of the novel, "Wasteland" Friday evening, May 17th "Jewish Supermen" Lag B'Omer Sermon *** FRIDAY NIGHT IS SYNAGOGUE NIGHT 8:15 o'clock �LAG B1 0MER Lag B 1 0mer will be celebrated this year on Sunday, May 19th. The name is derived from the ancient custom of celebrating the harvest season by bringing a measure or 2!!!fil: of grain as an offering to God. The first orner was brought to the Temple on the second day of Passover, and for seven weeks thereafter, and on the 50th day, the Festival of Shevuos was celebrated. Each day of the cycle wRs counted and this custom became known as the Counting of the Omer. The 33rd day of the omer, or Lag B 1 0mer, has a special place in the Jewish calendar as a children's outdoor festival. Legend has it that on this day the prayers of Rabhi Akiba's students were answered, for a terrible plague among them was suddenly ended. Another story connected with this day, is that during the Roman oppression of Palestine, after the destruction of the Second Temple, the study of the Torah was strongly f_orbidden. A number of rabbis continued to teach the Law, many of whom were tortured and executed, Rabbi li.kiba among them. Rabbi Simeon Bar Yochia escaped and lived in a cave for thirteen years and 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. Today, Jewish schools carry o~ the tradition of Lag B'Omer by holding picnics and field days in park and country. A new novel which is rapidly gaining fame among best sellers is the $10,000 Harper prizewinning novel "Wasteland" by Jo Sinclair. Dealing with the problem of a young Jewish newspaper man who has become a subject for psychiatry due to his efforts to escape his people and their history, the theme of this book is especially pertinent to F.lllerican Je¥Try. Rabbi Satlow will make it the subject of his ser~on on Friday evening, May 10th. ,7e know that you will all make plans to attend this service and vital discussion. 1 A NOTE OF THP.NKS We wish to extend our thanks to Mrs .

RABBI SATLOW 1 S SERMONS • ' Friday evening, April 5th 11 A Major qontribution to Civilization" Friday evening, April 12th .Passover Sermon: "The Road to Freedom" FRIDAY NIGHT IS SYNAGOGUE NIGHT 8:15 o 1 clock No. 13 �PASSOVER Passover, or Pesach is the greatest of Jewish festivals. It has been more than a holiday to the Jev1s for over 3000 years; it has symbolized our redemption and freedom. Jews have observed it from the days when they were no.mads in the wilderness. The first two and 18st two days of Passover are full holidci.ys ~ while the four intervening days are called Chol-hamoed, where all manner of work is permissable. There are three aspects to this festival as indicated by its three different names; Chag ho.-Pesa.c h, the nature aspect, Chag ha-Matzos, its agricultural side, cmd z•man Cherusenu, the Season of Freedom. commemorating the exodus from slavery in Egypt and the emergence of the Hebrew nation . The history of these three names presents a picture of the development of the Jewish people and Judaism from a primitive to a highly cultured state with its corresponding religious growth. The Passover Seder re~ains to this very day the great home festival of our religious calendar. Through it we partake of all the symbols denoting the great ideals associntcd viith Passover. SCHOOL SEDER The Religious School will condu a model Seder on Sunday afternoon, April 14th, at 3 o'clock in the dining room of the Y.M.C.A. Each group has been prepared tot sing both Passover and Seder songs. Rabbi Satlow has ·completed an il~ .lustrated and s:i.Jnplified Seder ritual to enable every child to participate in the program. This practice Seder will serve to acquaint our children with the manner in which the service should be conducted and will enable them to better understand and take an intelligent part in the famity Seder on Passover night. Parents are welcome to visit the Y~ and observe the model Seder.

' Collection of Supplies for Overseas Survivors in an effort to help mitigate the suffering of the million and a half · survivors of Nam persecution in ;Europe. The S.O.S. Collection is a relief program on a personal basis. It is not a fund-raising campaign.. Participation in the S.O.S. Collection is over ~nd above any financial support given to tho United Jewish Appeal. Hore than 500,000 pounds of supplies have been contributed ·thus far by Jewish communities in over 344 cities. But far, far more is needed to make up the planned quota of 20,000,000 pounds of addi~ tional relief supplies. Muskegon has already shipped several hundred pounds of old clothes, medicines, and first-aid supplies, toys and games, infant ·layettcs and childre!'l Is boo~s. As we go to press, we are in receipt of over 100 pounds of canned goods contributed by the members of Sisterhood at their last· meeting. Jfembers of Hadassah viill bring additional food.stuffs to the next meeting. The 'S .O.S. Collection will continue until further notice. A onetime gift is not sufficient. Coldr starvation and disease must be fought without interruption. The success of the S.O.S. Collection will. be measured by the amount of supplies c ontributed .

The history of the Yivo is most interesting, for since its inception it has been inextricably bound up with the cultural life, and indeed, the very life of Jewry. This organization was founded in 1925 in the City of Vilna, Poland, by a group of Je,~ish scholars. There waa at that time, as well as now, a great need for an institution for academic research in the Jewish cultural heritage. The work of Yivo is divided into four sections: history, economics and statistics, literature and linguistics, and psychology and education. It is fortunate that the libraries and ~rchives were distributed among numerous branches in many countries, for, at the outbreak of war in 1939, the American section took _over the functions of the center in Vilna and some of the staff members came to New York from Vilna and Paris to continue the v1ork. The aims of Yivo are to supply docwnentation, research and training. Hundreds of thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets and letters have been collected, catalogued and made available to scholars. The historical archives were housed first in Berlin, then in Paris, and now in New York. A bibliographica office keeps a catalogue of all item,s of Jewish L'1terest published in the press of all the world in all languages. The Yivo Studies, one of its publications, is a per-· iodical devoted to all fields of Jewish research. A special training division prepares young men and women for indepen_dent research in Jewish social studies. ·In 1940, this division was r~rganized and adapted to the American background. The Yivo is now sponsoring a contest among Jewish soldiers and veterans offering prizes for essays on the subject, "My Experiences and Observations as a Jevi in World War II. 11 Nm~, while the memories of our young men who have unctergone soul-searching experiences are still fresh and poignant, Yivo hopes to recapture and collect these feelings and observations. These ne,~ attitudes on Jews and Judaism will doubtless act as guideposts to the future of American Jewry. HADASSAH MOVIE Moshe Oisher in "The Cantor's Son" Refreshmer1ts Sun.

The fate of the J ewish people now hangs in the balance! The council of foreign ministers in London is now deciding the issue of Palestine. Hundreds of thousands of our people are still languishing in concentration camps, unwilling to return to their countries of sorrow and to the scenes of their disgrace. President Truman, at the insistence of Jewish deputations and through the intercession of several senators, sent a Jeter to Prime Minister Atlee demanding that 100,000 homeless and stateless Jews be admitted into Palestine immediately. Atlee has taken affront to our government's steps in our behalf and has refused to reply to the president. We demand that the Labour Government fulfill its pre-election promises to the Jewish p eople ! An emergency conference will take place in Washington this Thursday, October 4th, to compel immediate action in Congress and in the British Parliament, which will open in a few days. Rabbi Satlow is on his way to Washington to represent our community. He will see our representatives in both houses of Congress to motivate them into action for our afflicted people; and will take part in this conference. A report on the proceedings will be given by the Rabbi to the congregation at our service this Friday, October 5th, at 8 :15 p. m. Make sure to be present at the Synagogue! ---o--A MESSAGE FROM YOUR RABBI There is an ancient legend in the Book of Maccabees which relates that when the Temple of Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B. C., the prophet Jeremiah commanded the young pri:ests of the Temple to take the sacred fire of the Altar and carry it with them into captivity. They were charged to keep alive this holy fire, the symbol of Light and Truth, for future generations. When Nehemiah, cupbearer of the King of Persia, received permission to rebuild the Holy Temple, he rededicated God's Altar with the glowing embers of the original flame. Talmud legend relates that in the year 70 C. E., when the Roman legions of Titus set fire to the Second Temple, God Himself commanded the angel Ariel, Guardian of the Holy Altar to carry off to a place of safety the gleaming coals of the sacred Altar. This spiritual fire was kept alive by the Jew in the Diaspora through the establishment and maintenance of Synagogues and Schools for worship and study, and these received the active support of every Jew in the community. Spain, northern France, southern Ge many and Poland became in turn great ce~ ters of Jewish culture. In Poland, many great Yeshivos gave to the world Rabbis and Talmudic scholars who became the torchbearers of knowledge and Jewish idealism, strengthening the faith of their people. Alas, the nazi hordes have spread destruction and terror in their wake and have extinguished the light of Jewish civilization in many parts of Europe. Jewish communit ies have become so broken in body and spirit, their numbers so depleted, that they find great difficulty in reestablishing their communal life. "Rov minyan, rov binyan," "where there are great numbers, there are great institutions." The American J ewish community today is the largest and most important body in the world. The sparks of the sacred fire brought to these blessed shores by generations of Jews must now be fanned into flame. It has become the sacred charge of American Jewry to dedicate itself with renewed zeal to this great tradition of Jewish learning. This new year finds our Sunday and weekday religious schools fully prepared to carry through a broader program of Jewish Education. By bringing us your childre'n will we be enabled to keep alive in the hearts and minds of the younger generation, this sacred fire! ---o--WEEK-DA Y HEBREW SCHOOL Registration is now open for our Hebrew School. Classes will meet twice weekly, on Mondays and Wednesdays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays under the capable instruction of Mrs. Morris Teles. Please call Mrs. Teles, 256-400, to register your child for instruction in the Loshon Kodesh, the Hebrew language. ---o--- w e Acknowledge With Thanks the Receipt of the Following Contributions: For the Prayer Book Fund: From Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Price, in ho or of the homecoming of Capt.

Wiener, chairman; Jacob M. Kaufman, vice-chairman; and the following as trustees: Abe Ashendorf, Harry Fisher, Sam Klayf, Jack Lawson, Sam Lipman, Leo Rosen, and Harold Silverman. ---o--THE UNITED JEWISH APPEAL The United Jewish Appeal is the largest fund-raising Jewish organization. Its component members are the Joint Distribution Committee and the United Palestine Appeal. The J. D. C. was organized to distribute fund s for the r ehabilitation and assistance of Jews overseas. Throughout the war, its agents have worked openly and secretly to administer relief, extend economic aid, assist in emigration and give general and emergency refuge e aid. It has done its work directly and in cooperation with affiliated organizations. The J. D. C. has now taken on a n ew function-the r econstruction of the religious and cultural life of the Jewish communities abroad. Sefer Torahs, :prayer books and other religious articles are now being collected throuo-hout this country and se nt overseas for this purpose. The United Palestine Appeal consists of the Palestine Foundation Fund (Karen Hayesod), the fund-raising instrument for the Jewish Agency for Palestine, recognized in the League of Nations mandate as the supreme authority in the re-building of Palestine, and the J ewish National Fund (Keren Kayemes), which acquires, reclaims and develops the soil of Palestine as the national property of the J ewish people. ---o--JEWISH CULTURE COUNCIL For many years small communities far from the stream of Jewish life, have felt the lack of programs of Jewish cultural value. To fill this need in Muskegon, the J ewish Culture Council has been formed. This organization is planning several unusual programs which will include artists who will bring to us the best of our rich store of liturgical music, folk songs, dancing, art and drama. The Council is a joint community project and is composed of: Sam Klayf, president of our congregation; Gene Berman, S.t sterhood president; Frances August, Hadassah president; Paul Wiener, United Jewish Charities chairman; Jack Lawson, president of B'nai B'rith; Max Rosenberg, preSident of the Zionist Organization, and Rabbi Satlow.

"To be a J ew is to belong to an old harmless race that has lived in every country in the world; and that has enriched every country it has lived in. "It is to be strong with a strength t l has outlived persecutions. It is to be against ignorance, honest against piracy, harmless against evil, industrious against idleness, kind against cruelty! It is to belong to a race that has given Europe its religion; its moral law; and much of its science - perhaps even more of its genius - in art, literature and music.
