This struggle for existence is what makes history. The hi tory which is made by society from day lo day. and year lo ~ ear. is regularly rf'curded by il historian . Smaller units within the social make-up such as con- grertalion for example are not alway inclined to keep a record of their own special history. A a result of this negligence, po terity is deprived of a good deal of infor- mation, inspiration and guidance in problems which the past has successfully olve.-1 and which nevertheless crop up again for the fulure. Bearing these facts in mind. we of Congregation B' nai Israel have therefore created a hook. to serve as a record for the Congregation's hi tory as ii is made from day lo day by our trials and achievements. Tonight. we are happy lo dedicate this book which all agree is a thing of b«"auly. Beginning tonight this Golden Book remains a challenge lo all of us . \\'hether or not we hall meet the challenge in the form of great and worlhv dPeJs depends upon our altitude toward the acrifices, altruism, courage and vision demanded by our work and goals.

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

K UFMA { l111irm11n �THE FATE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure determined by the efforts of individuals willing and cap• able of leadership in organizational work. It has been Muskegon Jewry's 200d fortune to find that leadership when the need has been the greatest. For many years the leadership of this community has enjoyed the backing and support of self-effacing J. M. Kaufman, and last year when the needs of the United Jewish Appeal reached unprecedented proportions, this goodnatured executive assumed the responsibiliry of surpassinst the goal set for us. In effort, sacrifice and devotion, our esteemed friend knew no limits and his inability to serve further in this capacity due ro physical limitations is a !IOurce of great disappointment to him and to us. Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can appreciate the great burden of gratitude that this communirv will always nwt" him. -OR MORRIS TEI.ES, ~rretarv. �- - - - - - - - - ------ A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ACJJ:ING CHAIRMAN It is my pleasure on behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon, to present, herewith, the annual report of receipts, expenditures and allocations for the fiscal year. This affords me the opportunity to thank my officers and trustees, as well as so many of my friends who gave so generously of their time and effort through the many meetings in order tnat our goal may be accomplished. My sincere thanks to all of you. This report of the United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress. The money that has been so graciously contributed by you has not been charity, but a human treatment of a people who are struggling to regain their just place as hµman beings-struggling against staggering odds, after the most ghastly and most devastating horror to which whole people have ever been subjected! Our community can be proud of the start that has been made. A start toward real solution by means of rehabilitation and resettlement. But a start alone is not enough! HELP US FINISH THE JOB -- WILL YOU? (continued on next page) �MESSAGE (continued) The cash balance on hand, as indicated by these exhibits, is being disbursed immediately. In past years your trustees have seen fit to advance as a loan, $4500.00 to the Mona View Cemetery Association. During the fiscal year concluded, $1200.00 was advanced, resulting in a total of $5700.00 loaned to the Association. I sincerely trust that you will again extend your nhole-hearted support and cooperation for the urgent needs that confront Muskegon's Jewry. Sincerely yours, HARRY S.

Enable me to develop within him (her), by what I do and say, love of Thee and devotion to compassion, learning and charity.

Page 144 - 145 RABBI Generation after generation, since first our people stood at Sinai and accepted the Torah, we have sought to Iive by its commandments to love God and man. We have upheld its teachings even when suffering was the price of our devotion. Thus we keep alive in the world a message that brings hope and healing, brotherhood and peace to al I mankind. 11 Not with you only do I make this covenant; but with him that stands with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day." With these words, spoken at Sinai, our forefathers received the Torah for themselves and for all the ages to come. You, our children, are the next generation in the chain of Jewish tradition. Take this Torah now and make it your own. Confirmand (Holding Torah) With gratitude and pride we, the members of this confirmation class, now receive the Torah. We accept its doctrines as our holy discipline and guide. As our fathers cherished and preserved the Torah throughout the generations, so it is our duty to study it and strive to live by its commandments, so it is our prayer that we may prove worthy of this sacred gift, and that we shall transmit it to those who come after us.

At this time, we remember the day of Sinai, when Israel entered into a Covenant with Thee to become a Kingdom of Priests and a holy nation. With Thy law in their hearts, Thy people has gone forth as Thy witness and amidst deadly foes and endeavoring flames has proclaimed Thy name in all the earth. Through the ages Israel has been faithful to Thee. He found strength in trowle, light in darkness and hope in adversity. In the same spirit, 0 Lord, we Thy children come before Thee and renew the vow of our Fathers. Imbue us with true knowledge and discernment and guide us in the paths of Thy wisdom, so that we may live by Thy laws and precepts. May Thy spirit which rested upon our Fathers and Mothers never depart from us. Grant that the truth revealed to Israel may become the possession of al I men, and that the time not be distant when all the children on earth shall recognize Thee as their God and father.

With songs of joy they approached Thy sanctuary bearing Bikkurim, the first fruits of their harvest, the choice of their orchard and vineyards. We bring a spiritual harvest, our young lives, our hearts and minds, our wills and strength, to offer these before Thee. We would consecrate ourselves to the highest and holiest in life. We would be guided by ideals worthy of man's dedication. We would devote ourselves to Thy service and to the service of our fellow man. May our offering find favor in Thy sight. May we merit Thy continued blessing on us and our dear ones. Amen RABBI'S INVOCATION Our God and God of our fathers, we come before Thee on this holy day with gratitude and hope.

Page 144 - 145 Union Prayer Book RABBI Generation after generation, since first our people stood at Sinai and accepted the Torah, we have sought to live by its commandments to love God and man. We have upheld its teachings even when suffering was the price of our devotion. Thus we keep alive in the world a message that brings hope and healing, brotherhood and peace to al I mankind. "Not with you only do I make this covenant; but with him that stands with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day. 11 With these words, spoken at Sinai, our forefathers received the Torah for themselves and for all the ages to come. You, our children, are the next generation in the chain of Jewish tradition. Take this Torah , now and make it your own. Confirmand ( Holding Torah) With gratitude and pride we, the members of this confirmation class, now receive the Torah. We accept its doctrines as our holy discipline and guide. As our fathers cherished and preserved the Torah throughout the generations, so it is our duty to study it and strive to live by its commandments, so it is our prayer that we may prove worthy of this sacred gift, and that we shall transmit it to those who come after us. Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One. Choir: Reading from the Torah De utronomy 5-6 Hebrew and English Prophets - Book of Ruth, Chapter 1 Opening of Ark �PRAYER BY ALL CONFIRMANDS With joy, our God, we members of this Confirmation Class come before Thee in this gladsome season of the year. At this time, we remember the day of Sinai, when Israel entered into a Covenant with Thee to become a Kingdom of Priests and a holy nation. With Thy law in their hearts, Thy people has gone forth as Thy witness and amidst deadly foes and endeavoring flames has proclaimed Thy name in all the earth. Through the ages Israel has been faithful to Thee. He found strength in trol.ble, light in darkness and hope in adversity. In the same spirit, 0 Lord, we Thy children come before Thee and renew the vow of our Fathers. Imbue us with true know ledge and discernment and guide us in the paths of Thy wisdom, so that we may live by Thy laws and precepts. May Thy spirit which rested upon our Fathers and Mothers never depart from us. Grant that the truth revealed to Israel may become the possession of all men, and that the time not be distant when all the children on earth shall recognize Thee as their God and father.

In them the most important Jewish ideals are expressed: The Sovereignty of God over all creatures, the brotherhood of the human family, the revelation of the divine spirit to man, the providence of God, the concept of reward and punishment, the restoration of the Jewish people and the sanctuary in Zion where a center for enlightenment for mankind shall be created. In addition to these ideas, the idea of renouncing one's own sins, seeking forgiveness, and vowing to lead a clean life is emphasized on the Day of Atonement. On these days, it is the desire of the Jew to elevate himself above his daily routine and to draw near to God. For this reason, these days are dedicated entirely to worship and meditation. For this purpose, the service was elaborately built up Qin laudations and prayers, hymns and poems, meditations and petitions. ROSH HASHONNAH And in the Seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no scrville work; it is a day of sounding the shofar unto 1Xyou1. -Numbers XX , · The New Year is called in Hebrew Rosh Hashonnah. It is sometimes called "Day of Judgment" (Yom Radin). . Because on that day we represent ourselves as being judged by God for our past lives. ,, . It is also called "The Da.y of Sounding the Shofar , ot ram's horn. The Shofar is sounded on that day, to remind us to appE,ar be~ore th~ Lord. .We Our hfe dunng these days should be more seuous. must repair any wrong we have committed, and removl any cause of ill-feeling between others, and ourselves. . father cannot be pleased when his childr~n are at variance. We are all children of our Father rn Heaven. �PAGE REASONS FOR BLOWING THE SHOFAR The Jewish philosophel' Saadya Gaon gave the followmg reasons for the blowing of the Shofar: 1. T proclaim the sovereignity of God on the anniversary of the creation. 2. To stir the people to repentance. 3. To remind the people of the revelation on Mount Sinai. 4. To remind us of the messages of the Prophets. 5. To remind us of the destruction of the Temple. 6. To remind us of Isaac's sacrifice. 7. The sound of the Shofal' causes the human heart to tremble. 8. To remind us of the Day of Judgment. 9. To rem;nd us of the blasts of the Sbofal' of redemption. 10. To remind us of the resurrection. THE TEN DAYS OF PENITENCE The ten days that follow Rosh Hahsonah are known as the Ten Days of Penitence. During this period, the individual is supposed to repent his or hel' untoward deeds and to make amends - either actually or by resolving not to 1 cpeat such actions. SH ABBA T SHU BAH Shabbat Shubah derives its name from the Haftarah of that day, Hosea XIV, 2-10, which begins with the word Shubah - "Return," i.e. Repent. YOM KIPPUR And ye shall have qn the tenth day of this seventh ,1,onth a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict yonr souls; ye shall not do any work thereon.-Numuers XXIX,7. The Day of Atonement is called in Hebrew Yorn Kippur. It is the da, on which we solemnly ask pardon from .;od for sins which we have committed against Him. Pardon is granted to us for those sins only when God who knows our hearts, sees that our repentance is sincere. O'n Yorn Kippur we do not obtain pardon for sins committed against our fellow-being unless we have righted any wrong we have done to him. We fast on :he Day of Atonement. We fast in order to humble ourselves before God, to realize how dependent we are upon Him for food, and therefore for life, and to learn to restrain earthly desires. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE One of the most pleasant expel'iences a person can have is through the knowledge of a free and clear conscience. How wondel'ful it is for one to feel that he has done his duty toward his God and fellowman! With the New Year approaching, you \dll want to start with a clean recol'd. By paying your dues now, you will be straightening c,ut with your God and your fellow man. Perhaps by paying your dues, you will expe1·ience the joy that comes from a clear conscience. Send your check to the Temple office today. SUCCOTH The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of the Tabernacle for seven days unto the Lord. Ye shal! dwell in booths seven days, every Israelite-born shall dwell in booths. That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.-(Levit XXIII, 43). Succoth is kept to remind us of God's loving protecti0n of our fathers when He caused them to he sh<>ltered in booths or tabernacles in their journey through the deserts after they left Egypt. In our synagogue, a palm branch, a citron, some myrtle, and willow are m,ed during service. The palm-b 1·anch (Lulab) represents om· frame; the citron (ethrog) repres!i'nts the heart; the myrtle-leaf (hadas) represents the eye, and the willow leaf (nrbe nahal) represf•nts the lips, teaching thus that our frame, our heart, our eyes, and our lips are to be used in the service of God. III HOSHANAH RABBAH Hosha-nah Rabbath, the seventh day of Succoth, was the climax of the festival in Temple times, ;•·hen seven processions were made around the altar, and mar.y ver es of Hoshanah (0 Save) were sung to the waving of the palm branches. SHEMINI AZERET Shemini Azeret (Eighth day of Assembly) designated in the Bible as a day of holy assembly, is celebrated after the seventh day of Succoth as the concluding festival of the season. SIMHAT TORAH Simhat Torah (Rejoicing in the Torah) is the second day of Stemini Azeret. Then the reading of t~e PentaLeuch is completed and begun anew for the commg year. SIMCHA TH TORAH PARTY On Tuesday afternoon, October 3rd. 4 :llO p.m., there will be a Simchath Torah party for the children of our Religious School. The Rabbi will explain the nature of the celebration, the children will march in the Torah parade and then receive a special treat from Sisterhood. OPENING FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE OCTOBER 27, 8:15 P.M. As we are about to resume the Friday night services, we cannot help but think of Sisterhood and the hostesses that Sisterhood fnrnished throughout the past season. There is nothing that hits the spot better than a hot cup of tea or coffee after the Service. Sisterhood \vith its hostesses made this possible last year. We look forward to the continuance of this lovely gesture. ON CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL'S JUBILEE YEAR by RABBI SAMUEL UMEN BEN CHAMISHIM L'EITZOH. "At fifty for counsel." The first twent)' to thirty years of an individual is spent in growing, developing and maturing .. I:rol:? then on he begins to devo~e himself to some purs_mt m hfe .. At about fifty, one bcgms to take stock of his accomplishments and analyze his life. It is at this point that one becomes philosophic, about himself and the world i'n which he lives. If this is true of an individual, it is also true of an institution in a degree. In any ca~e, it surely is true of Congregation B'nai Israel, which dates back to tho year 1901 whr::n about ten Jewish families formed what is now known as Congregation B'nai Israel of Muskegon. Without a permanent home, like the Jews in the desert, the small Congregation carried on its community life and held its bervices wherever it was permitted. Slowly but surely the ranks grew in number, wisdom and experience. In 1947 it dedicated its own home-one of the most beautiful modern Temple buildings in the mid west. It is in this 'l'emple with its inviting facilities that the accumulated '•Counsel" of the Congregation i3 manifesting itself through its many faceted program which 1 eaches out to our c.ld and young. If Co'Tlgregation B'nai Israel was late in developing, it is now making up for lost time. This Congregation at Fifty stands ready to offer some counsel to those who are still in their embryonic stage, and wl,ose growth and development is hindered, due to a squabble over a scull cap, talis, an organ, more or less Heurew at services, veering more to the right, more to the left, or cleaving to the middle. Thanks to the democratic 1:,pirit of our leaders, their vision and courage, all elements and all shades of thought in our community are united under one roof. May it be Thy will 0 Lord to preserve the unity of our Congregation so that we may be privileged to serve as a living example of what can he achieved by fl community when it acts in the name of peace and the sanctity of Thy name. "May al! Thy children unite in one fellowship to do Thy will with a perfect heart." �PAGE IV CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN JUBILEE MESSAGE FROM TEMPLE A MESSAGE FROM OUR U. J. C. CHAIRMAN B'NAI IS"RAEL PRESIDENT As we go forward in our Temple and community work, it is only natural, that we should simultaneously take a glance backward. For the past is the best guide for the future. The past shows up our foibles, omissions, negligence, gropings ~Jnd every achievement as nothing else does. A glance at the past of our community, shows up one thing in our accomplishments so cleru: and so large that everything else disappears· in the background. This thing is Muskegon's charitable nature-Muskegon's generous gifts to the United Jewish Appeal. The record show~ th'lt in proportion to the size of other communities our own community ranks first and best in helping our brother man. Let us hope and pray that through the merit of our liberal giving and life saving, we shall receive God's blessings of exte:nded life to carry on the high ideals and deep aspirations which are ours as Jews and as Americans during this Jubilee Year and in the years to come. Harry A. Fisher If I were to mention the most outstanding accomplishment by our congregation in its half century of existence, I would without a second of hesitation say "harmony." While our congregatioln is rather small as compared with some of the great communities in our country, yet the views of our congregants in not the remote past have been as many and as varied as one fiJnds in a very large community. However, a way was found by our leadership to unite every shade of religious thought in our community under one roof. Thus. we have one Temple which is one of the most beautiful in the midwest. It is through this harmony that building the Tem'ple of the spirit within the framework of the stone building is rendered easier for our benefit and for the benefit of our people at large. May harmony and peace always reign in our hearts, homes, our community and throughout the world. Sam Lipman CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN A MESSAGE FROM TEMPLE B'NAI ISRAEL SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT The last half century of our people in Muskegon, may be compared to the life of the Hebrews in the desert. Our Jewish life was built on quicksand. There was nothing to hold us together, we had no home-we had no program of any consequence. We lived from day to day. For the wandering Jew of the desert it was finally Palestine. For us at the end of fifty yea:rs, it is a beautiful Temple, a well organized program for the young and old. May the Jubilee Year of our congregation mark the beginning of many fruitful achievements by our congregants for the benefit of Judaism and Democracy. Sophie Lebow A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE MUSKEGON HADASSAH CHAPTER Many worthwhile organizations and institutions could not exist if it were not for the moral and financial support which they d erive from the Synagogue. It was from tho Synagogue that Zionism drew its strength in a large measure for the past fifty years. Hadassah's success too, is due to the help it receives from the Synagogue. As president of The Muskegon Hadassah Chapter, it therefore, gives me great pleasure to cong1·atulate Congregation B'nai Isrnel on its Jubilee Year. 1. congratulate B'nai Israel not only because in its half ceintury of existence it served well as a religious institution in our community, but helped in the furtherance of such noble work that is related to Judaism and Jewish life. May this congregation ever grow in its stl·ength and influence. May those who work for it be blessed and may their work be unto a blessing.

As you toll your multiple blessings and breathe your gratitude, as you look back ujpon your triumph and past, so maiy you utilize this occasicm to pledge yoursel~e~ to an even more consecrated spiritual future. In the B1bhcal book of Leviticus we find the injunction. directed to ?ur forefathers, commanding that "fire shall be k~pt b_urm~F upon the altar continually; it shall never be extmgu1shed ·t The rabbis tell us, in commenting upon this verse, th.a~ 1 was the wont of the entire household of Israel to s~t a~ide on a designated day the mundane routine of their hves and to gather wood so that the altar fires should never be dimmed. So must it be for the entire household of B'nai Israel Congregation. This is the day to be set aside, this is th moment for a]] of you to place your vows of persona consecration upon your hallowed altar. Then the fla~e of your faith will never flicker, but will ignite th~ so_u 5 of your children and your children's children, kiJ!d~n_g within them "an everlasting light", that light whic is the glorious heritage of our people, for such is thed meant ing and intent of your jubilee1 celebration.

WIENER CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL Fourth and Webster Muskegon, Michigan June 12, 1950 Rabbi Samuel Umen, 340 W. Forest, Muskegon, Mich. Dear Rabbi Umen: With the termination of the year 1949-1950 in the congregational life of our community, it behooves me to drop you a few notes, particularly with regard to my own personal association with you during Mr. Sam Lip.man's absence from the community. It is impossible to express tn words, the comfort and mental relief you have brought me in your tenure of office in our community. There always has been a tremendous need for a restatement of ideals and ideologies which give mankind tools for creating a better world, and i!n a world wherein man has an opportunity of being honored in a more decent way to the extent of developing his own potentialities. You have given this community, I believe, the proper appreciation of the inter-relatedness and the inter-indebtedness of Christianity to Judaism. You have a'so given us the lesson that the greatest gift in the world is the gift of love. At least 'I feel that your te:ichings add up to this summation. Moreover in your sermons you have taught those who wilshed to listen and learn, the other gre:it gifts of life--courage, belief underst&inding, not to omit the other precious gift of confidence.

FRANK ROSENTHAL, Ra. h1 Temple Beth Israel, Jackson, Mic · �PAGE THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 20, 1950 Dear Rabbi Umen: Hearty felicitations and warmest personal greetings on the happy occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Congregation B'nai Israel. I trust that for long years to come the Congregation will continue to exemplify the highest teachings of the ancient culture of Israel. Very sincerely yours. (HARRY TRUMAN) Rabbi Samuel Umen, Congregation B~nai Israel, Fourth and Webster, Muskegon, Michigan. CITY OF MUSKEGON MICHIGAN July 3, 1950 CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL, Please accept my most heartfelt congratulations for your Fiftieth Anniversary. Rabbi Samuel Umen, the Office,s, the Trustees, and the whole Congregation are most deserving, for their continued faith and perseverance. They all have shoW\11 themselves not only to be trustworthy in the sight of God, but to be thoroughly loyal, contributing their full share toward the social, political, intellectual and artistic advance of all peoples within our community. In your desire to better serve God and your community you have produced large numbers of musicians, scholars, business people, and men and women in public life. You people have carried the religious ideals of the one true God throughout the years, and have continued to be the standard bearers even in the City of Muskegon for these fifty years. You number in the membershp of your Congregation many persons who do now greatly honor your people, our people and all the city; and there are still many more who will be known for their prominence in the building and history of Greater Muskegon. May I, therefore, present to the Congregation B'nai Israel not only my own personal th;Jlnks and congratulations, but that of a11 the people of Greater Muskegon. Yours truly, (H. J. DEVETTE. MAYOR) CITY OF MUSKEGON THE MUSKEGON CHRONICLE Muskegon, Michigan July 31, 1950 Rabbi Samuel Umen Congregation B'nai Israel Fourth at Webster Muskegon, Michigan Dear Rabbi Umen: I am pleased to be among those to welcome the forthcoming Fiftieth Anniversary of Congregation B'nai Israel, with a brief word in your Jubilee Year Bulletin. I have been in Muskegon· more than thirty years and hence have seen at first hand much of the development ihat has come to your Congregation. It is in the blood of a newspaper editor to take a kind of personal pride in the constructive accomplishments of the community, and hence I feel a real kinship with you i·n the progress of your group. I know this progress will continue into the second fifty years, as indeed it must. As individuals and communities, we are remiss to the extent that we take our religious ins titutions largely for granted. Religious freedoms are at the heart of this whole present world struggle and the obvious answer, from our side, is churches that are even stronger, even more ably supported. As in the past, The Chronicle will always be happy to cooperate in your events in any way it can. You have my own most cordial congratulations for the big Golden Anniversary milestone which is just ahead in 1951. With best wishes, Very incerely, (C. D. McNAMEE) Editor VII STATE OF MICHIGAN Office of the Governor LANSING July 18, 1950 TO THE MEMBERS OF CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL: On the occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Congregation B'nai Israel, it is a pleasure and a privilege to send you personal good wishes and to greet you on beha'.f of the people of Michigan. In these days when change and confusion tare rife throughout the world, it is heartening to find a people whose devotion to the ancient faith of their fathers remains unaltered tlu:ough the centuries. If every American pledged the same steadfast AlJegiance to the principles of liberty and freedom upon which our great democracy is founded, the future security and welfare of the United States would be assured. During the fifty years since Congregation B'nai Israel was established, it has not only served its members well but has contributed in :no small measure to the community life of the City of Muskegon. It is my earnest h0pe that in the years to come, as in the past, Congregation B'nai Is1·ael will continue steadily to grow and prosper. Sincerely, (G. Mennen Williams) GOVERNOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED ST ATES WASHINGTON 0. A. Seyferth President June 28, 1950 Rabbi Samuel Umen Congregulion B'nai Israel Fourth and Webster Muskegon, Michigan Dear Rabbi Umen: It gives me pleasure to respond to your letter of ,June 15. The Fiftieth Anniversary soon to be observed by Comgregation B'nai Israel marks a long period in the lives of the members of your Congregation, but a brief span only in the annals of the faith to which you subscribe. That faith has made its imprint upon the world throughout the centuries of man's progress. It has insisted on the highest suandards of human behavior, and even more important it has given inspiration to millions who express through it their belief in spiritual values. I have Jong felt that religious bodies could do much tow::rd bringing closer accord among the different groups thnt make up our society. Solidarity and tolerance are natio'1al essentials. The religious faiths can contrihute toward their advancement in America. ,I know that your celebration of your Congregation's attainment of the half century mark will be successful. Sincerely yours, (0. A. SEYFERTH) President THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS' OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGON MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Congregation B'nai Israel Fourth and Webster Muskegon, Michigan Attention: Rabbi Samuel Umen Dear Friends: A half century of service to the Greater Muskegon community by Congregation B'nai 1srael is a matter deserving not only congratulations, but sincere appreciation on the part of ali citizens. True community values are inevitably found in people and institutions making positive contributions in the spiritual, cultural, and educational areas. In these respects, Congregation B'nai Israel has ably accomplished its full share, and more. May the next half century be one of continuing success and service. Yours truly, (C. W.

Fox 208 Montgomery Building Muskegon, Michigan July 8, 1950 Congregation B'nai Israel Fourth and Webster Muskegon, Michigan Attention: Rabbi Samuel Umen Dear Rabbi: The Congregation B'nai Israel, in Muskegon, should receive the whole-hearted congratulations of the entire community. The members of the CongTegation have lived and practiced fundamental principles, and by example have raised the standards in this community. These principles emphasize the sacred character of the mdividual; the sanctity of the home as the basic unit of the whole human family; that the human rights of every person come from God, and not from the State; and due respect for domestic, civil and religious authority. Muskegon is a better place in which to live because the Congregation B'nai Israel is here. My very best wishes to all of you, and may God Bless You, one and all. Very sincerely, (NOEL P. FOX) CONGREGATION HONORS PAST PRESIDENT Paul M. Wiener, past president of Congregation B'nai I i:rael, was presented a bronze plaque at the Treat of the Year Dinner held on Sunday evening, June 25th 1950 at the Temple. The test'imomial to Paul was for his many years of service in the congregation and United Jewish Charities which he organized in Muskegon ten years ago. THE TEMPLE LIBRARY The Temple libniry is slowly but surely expanding. Several excellent volumes have been added to our library shelves this summer and a goodly number of other volumes have recently been ordered. Much credit for the growth of our library is due to Fred Rodoff, who as chairman of this project is doing an excellent job. On birthdays, anniver~aries, or 0'11 the day of commemorating dear ones, let us 1emember the Temple Library. THE SIX MIST AKES OF MAN 1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others. Z. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it. 4. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and studying. 5. Refusing to set aside trivial preference. 6. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do. -Cicero ANNIVERSARIES FOR SEPTEMBER Mr. and Mrs. Milton Steindler September 2 Mr. and Mrs. Max Shumacher September 3 Mr. and .Mrs. Anton Aron September 7 WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES FOR OCTOBER Mr. and Mr.s.

BERMAN Chairman �The success of organized community charities and philanthropies to a great extent depends on the sympathy, generosity and ability of its leaders. The United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon faced its greatest challenge last year when it had to raise more funds than at any time before in its history and still not interfere with the fund-raising for our Temple. This challenge was accepted by the able and energetic Harry S. Berman. Through his able leadership and devotion to the cause, a new goal was attained. To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowledges a debt of gratitude and appreciation for an assignment well done. PAUL M. WIENER, Honorary Chairman �A MESSAGE FRCJ! THE CHAIRMAN OF THE U.J.C. It was indeed an honor and privilege to have been singled out by this community to head the U.J.C. drive in the past year. I say it was an honor because the community by electing me for the task, showed its trust, confidence and faith in my ability to fulfill my assignment. The reason I deem it a privilege is because not everyone is privileged to live in a country such as ours where there is not only opportunity for its citizens to live in peace but where man can extend a helping hand to his fellow man, deprived of similar privileges and opportunities. Muskegon Jewry deserves credit for its generous gifts to the U.J.C. in past years. Our giving made it possible for our brethren to fight heroically and emerge victoriously. {continued on next page) �MESSAGE (continued) The fight unfortunately is still on, and so our giving must not diminish this year. As a matter of fact, we must give more generously now than ever before. For while the doors of every land are practically closed to our warafflicted brethren still languishing in concentration camps, the State of Israeli has its friendly hand stretcred out to take them in, and give them a home in which they can live in freedom and enjoy a sense of dignity experienced by no other Jew anywhere on the globe. Our brethren in Europe and Palestine ask for cooperation. Let us answer them generously. HARRY S.

No one had ever heard him say When he was asked to share "Come back again some distant day When I have more to spare".

Ten }"C'ar, have passed since a group of local learlers met at my home and decided to orgaPize the United Jew;sh Charities of Greater :\Tuskegon. Since that noble and modest heginr.ing ten years ago, a total of $480,300.00 J,a, been raised $374,400.00 was allocated to Unite I Jewish Appeal and other overseas agencies $83,000.00 was allocated to National ano local reliei. The launct-ing of tlie Cnited Jl\nsh Charities was a re\·olutionary and enltghtening landmark in <JUr comm unit). It 1.fforded all of us an opportunity to help sa\·e a pe"ple, and help build a nation. A. we nndC'rtake our 1953 carrpaign for l'nitcd Jewish Charities on December 28th, under the leadrrship of Fierman Grossman, Samuel Lipman and Harold Rosen, we cannot rest on our past performance, hut must giYe thC'm our utm"st support. I should like to congratulate the leaders and all other men and women listed in this hook on their achieHments in a decade of fruitful philanthropic effort. The generosity and l•igh sense of communal responsihihty that haYe characterized these encleayors ha\·e contributed immeasurably to the suni\·al and \\'ell-being- of countless thousanrls of men. \\'omen and children all oYer the \\·oriel. and to the establishment of brae! as a stronghold oi democrac) in the ;\[idrlle East. It is therefore, my hope and expectation that our enlightened community will meet the challenge on December 28th with commensurate unrlerstan,ling and generosity. The stor) 111 thi book is of sacrifices made by our men and \\'Omen in order to help build a brighter future for our brethren oYersea~ . But, at the same time, we did not neglect our home front . \\'e built a $250,000.00 Temple, and maintained a high le\'el of religious and cultural activities for ourse!Ye:--. At the ,;ame time, the Jewish community leaders participated in and supported The Hackley Hospital. l\fercy Hospital, and Y\\'CA building campaigns \\'e support annuall) the Community Chest. H.ed Cross, Polio, Cancer, Yl\1 CA, Boy Scouts, and all other community wide projects and undertakings. Our hearts and pocketbooks ha Ye and al\\ ays will support desen·ing causes, regardless whether they are Jewish or Christian. To 111) associates-Francis Fine. Harry A. Fisher, Kelly Kaufman. Sam Lipman. Harold Rosen. Leo Rosen, ,\Trs. Syd Strifling, and others too numerous to mention-may I say that you ha\ e heen a source of inspiration, not only to me hut to the entire community. I extend to you my sincerest heartfelt thanks and best wishes in the years to come for a full measure of good health. happiness, and prosperity as Just Iv befits those ,Yl10 ha Ye e,;tablished so brilliant a record of charity and sen ice over the decade just ended. Faithfully Yours, ~~~~ Chairman �_About Our Chairmen PAUL M. WIENER The historic year of 1930 is remembered as a turning point in American history. For the Je11·ish community of :!\1uskegon it marked the emergence of a young man into a role of leadership which he has held for almost a quarter of a century. At a time when people e\'erywhere ,Yere holding on to "·hatever they could salvage from the stock market crash, responding to the call of the late Issac Grossman. Paul 1\1. \Viener undertook to organize the Finances of the Synagogue to carry it thn, the depression years. In 1941 he organized the C'nited Jewish Charities whose tenth annh ersary we are celebrating this year. At times as the official lea<ler and more often as the unofficial leader, his guidance and moral support were indispensable. Gifted with a dynamic personality he always directed his energies where they achie,·ed the greatest good. First for the Jewish community, and then for the larger community, his ability for leadership was felt keenly. No cause of any worth escaped his attention He was citizen par excellence. He contributed incessantly of his time and money to the common good. In his liberal distribution of his gifts we find personified the familiar prayer in the Union Prayer Book; "Let us be, 0 Lord, just and great-hearted in our dealings with our fellow men, sharing with them the fruits of our common labor, ·acknowleclging before Thee that we are but ste,vards of whatever we possess." '.\[uskegon Jewry is fortunate in being able to boast of Paul \\'iener as one of it,-. 110st honored citizens. \\' e consider him the embo1.'.iment of the truly pious man. not in the sense of isolating him~eli from his frllow man in prayer ancl meditation. but m a larger ancl more real sense. He sen·es family. friend, community, and nation These have become for him thoroughfares to God. By his deeds he has made God's will his own. :ind for all his benefactions he lays no claim to reward. He abhors slander, ancl chicanery, and disdains the shahbine,-;s of human selfishness. By these signs and many more we recognize Paul \Viener as a s111cere man. !\fay God grant him a long life of happiness together with his dear ones, and the realization of all his hopes and dreams. LEOS. ROSEN It can he !'aid that he is one of the strongest pillars of the community. Not only is the Jewish community blessed by his presence, but he is a blessing to the entire community as well. for he participates in eYery worthwhile ch·ic enterprise in :\luskegon. Before the organization of the United Jewish Charities Leo Rosen raised fund~ for the Joint Distribution Committee singlehamledly. The Congregation 13'nai Israel will be furc\er grateful to him for his leadership and untiring efforts in organizing and completing our ne"· Temple. 1lay he e,·er remain among us, an ideal worthy of our emulation J.M. "KELLY" KAUFMAN A former chairman of the United Jewish Charities and one oi its highest contributure-, is a firm believer in the Rabbinic dictum; "'eparate not thyself from the congregation." By his example he has helped to loosen the purse strings of many a donor for in the field of charity, ''actions speak louder than "·ords." :-.;eYertheless, Kelly Kaufman does not stop here. He is also one of the most diligent workers in the campaign. He shall always have our undying thanks. �HARRY S. BERMAN Congratulations on a successful 1948 campaign, the year of your chairmanship. SAMUEL LIPMAN He was the chairman of the Unitecl Jewish Charities in 1948, the year which witnessed the largest collectio•1 in its history.

The story is told of a desert tra\'eler who was lost for many days in the hot, dry sand:, and was about to expire from thirst. Suddenly he chanced upon a green, fertile oasis fed by a clear, cool spring of "·ater. After slaking his thirst on this precious, life-gi\'ing water, he satisfied his hunger on the luscious elates which abounded there. Then he lay clown to rest under the cool shade of the palm trees. His heart overflowing with gratitude, he turned to the oasis and said: "Gracious oasis, for your la \'ish and life-restoring gifts I would like to bless you. Shall I pray that you have cool and refreshing water, you already have it. Should I bless you with sweet and abundant fruit, you already possess more than you require. \Yere I to pray that your trees pro\'icle a cool refuge against the hot desert sun, the shade of your trees is already a refre;;hment to the soul. I :<hall therefore pray that your spring of water ne,·er run dry, that your trees continue to bear abundant fruit, and pro,·ide ample shade against the hot sun. :\luskegon may be compared to an oasis that is blessed with water, fruit and shade. Its water is its substance and goods; its fruit is its people and their offspring; its shade is its Temple and service organizations. Like the desert traveler I shall bless you as follows: :\lay you e\'er be in a position to give of your substance to the less fortunate than you. :\lay God bless you with many children who will be like you in generosity and kindnc:,s. :-.lay your Temple e, er inspire } uu ,Yith a lo\'e of Goel which will enable you to find comfort in sorrow. strength in trial. and the courage to do justly and to love mercy. . - ---- - - - - - --- - - - �STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS For period of Dec. 1, 1951 to Dec. 22, 1952 ' $ Cash on I-Land December 1, 1951 Cash in Bank December 1, 1951 2.350.00 757.04 $ 3,107.04 PLUS RECEIPTS: 450.00 Pledges-previous years ..........................

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

Since we got organized late in the year, there was little time had for planning a full program of activity. The few affairs conducted by the Young People's League during the yeal', however, proved to be very successful. More careful planning and a better organized group, I bdieve, can do itself proud during the coming year. I have faith in the Young People's League. I want to take this opportunity of expressing my deepest gratitude to the Congregation and Sisterhood for the co-operation the Young People's League received from them on every occasion. May our Lord grant us all health and happiness in the ew Year, so that we can go on in our work from strength to strength. -HERBERT FISHER 12· 13 15 20 24 ) 1 .J �l PURPOSE OF LIFE What is the meaning of life? This probably is the most speculative question with which the philosophers have wrestled in every generation. Two things are certain. We are born and we die. What of the years between these two events? The average person uses about the first twenty or twenty-five years of life to prepare for his life's work. This last about forty years and then he either dies or retires. It is with these forty years that the average man is most concerned. What is the purpose of them. For what purpose should he prepare himself, only to know that at best he has forty or less years to be alive. What should be the goal of purpose. To what designation should we set our ambition to achieve. It seems to me that joy is the answer. Not pleasure. Pleasure is only an artifice of nature to guarantee that he living will continue to live; it in no way indicates the direction of life. But joy always announces he fact that life has succeeded, that it has gained ground, has won a victory; great joy has a note of triumph in it. Wherever there is joy there is creation: the richer the creation the more profound the joy. The mother looking at her child has joy because she knows that she "created" him, physically and morally. Take the exceptional joys of life: those of the artist realizing his concepts of beauty, the scholar discovering truth. You may have thought that these men work for the glory of it all, that they take great pleasure in the admiration of others. This is a profound error. Men depend on fame and honor to the exact extent that they are no sure of having- succeeded. One who is absoluely sure of having done a good work has no need of praise; he feels himself above glory, for the simple reason that he is a creator; he knows he is a cre.ator and the joy he has in knowing it is a divine joy. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Before you flare up at anyone's faults, take lime to count ten-ten of your own. 13) Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit. 14) A frJW people get up bright and early, but most of us get up early. ----.fl----- 15) Sewing Circle: a group that darns more husbands than socks. "The best things in life are free"-but the rub i~ that we can't live exclusive)y on the best things of life. 1 J 16) FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE OCTOBER 21, 8:15 P.M. As we are about to resume the Friday night servic()S, we cannot help but think of Sisterhood and the hostesses that Sisterhood furnished throughout the past season. There is nothing that hits the spot better than a hot cup of tea or coffeo after the Service. Sisterhood with its hostesses made this possible last year. We look forward to the continuance of this lovely gesture. TWO DEDICATIONS TO TAKE PLACE SOON The Golden Book will be dedicated at the first Friday night service on October 21st. After the Service, congregants will have a chance to feast their eyes on the magnificent art work found within the covers of the Book. Later in the season, perhaps during the Thanksiriving week~end, we shall have the pleasure of dedicating the Israeli Room now being made ready for the occasion. 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) -5- THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH HOLY DAYS Rosh-means head Shonnoh-means year Ha-means the Rosh Hasonnoh-means the head of the year or the beginning of the year. Rosh Hashonnoh is celebrate,d rn the month of TISHREI. TISHREI is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar. The first month on the Hebrew calendar is NIS'ON. Rosh Hashonnoh is obse,r ved two days by Orthodox and Conservative Jews and one day by Liberal or Reform Jew,;. Rosh Hashonnoh marks the anniversary of the world. Our Rabbis believe that the world was cre.~ted in the fall during the month of TISHREI. Rosh Hasonnoh is known by several names: a. YO.M RADIN-Judgment Day. b. YOM HAZIKORON-Day of Remembrance. c. YOM TRUOH-Day of sounding the Trumpet. Rosh Hashonnoh is known as Judj?'ment Day because our Rabbis claim that God sits in judgement on this day, reviews our deeds of the year gone by and judges according to our dessert. Some are marked for death, some for life, some for health and some for illness, som'e, for riches and some for poverty etc. The reason why Rosh Hashonnoh is known as YOM HAZIKORON is because God remembers the great sacrifices many of our leaders have made on behalf of their religion and their love for God. Rosh Hashonnoh is known as YOM TRUOH because on this day the SHOFAR (or trumpet) is sounded during the Service. Special prayers are re.,cited on Rosh Hashonnoh. We appeal to God for a New Year of health, happiness and prosperity. Many of the prayers for the New Year or Rosh Hashonnoh Servic'e were written by Rabbis amd poets of the middle ages. A few of these men are: J ehudah Halevi Ibn Ezra Eleazer Kalir Solomon Ibn Gabirol Rosh Hashonnoh is a major holiday. A major holiday is one which is mentioned in the Bible. Rosh Hashonnoh falls on the first day of the seventh month of Tishrei. All holidays that are observed two days outside of Palestine, are observed only one day in Palestine. Rosh Hashonnoh is observed two days in Palestine (both days are regarded as one). According to Or+hodox law, no wo1·k, except cookinJ?: is permitted on Rosh Hashonnoh. The SHOFAR (trumpet) which is sounded during the Service on Roi'-h Hashonnoh, is fashion'e,d out of a Ram's horn. It brings to mind the ram which God sent to Abraham as a substitute for the sacrifice of his son, Isaac. It is customary to dip bread in honey at the supper hour on the eve of Rosh Hashonnoh. This is to symbolize the sweeitness we hope the New Year will bring us. �TEMPLE PROSPECTUS THE MEMBERSHIP of Congregation B'nai Israel consists of men and women who desire to practice the teachings and perpetuate the life of Israel.

REPRINT FROM LIBERAL JUDAISM TO LIVE AGAIN BY OBSERVER In every service in the Jewish prayer boo_k, _there is 2. po1•tion called the Kaddish. It is recited by the living in honor of the dead. We memonahze the dead, not because our wocds benefit those who have passed away but because we desire to benefit by their qxample as we benefit by theit· works. OUR DEBT TO THE DEA D Only when we pause to think of it, do we realize the vastne s of our debt to those who prereded us. The cities we. inhabit, sometimes even the very dw_ellings in which we live, the instruments we use, the ideas we cherish, the knowledge whereon we bmld, the laws that govern us, Lhe institutions that maintain our civilization-how few of them are the works of the living an<l how many of them a:r'ie the contributions of the dead. Without any reference, at the moment, to per.3onal immortality, as this was pictured by our forebears, the _ck,'ld live in a very definite sense 3:nd ~enefit us by the acts they performed. We find in this reflection a potent argument for conduct which 1s far from subtle. What are we planning to do for the generations that will follow? A1;ei we living for ourselves alone or shall we, too, help to perpetuate in an organized fashion what the wisdom of many o-enerations has la bolled as good and beneficial? ,., At the moment we are thinking of the institutions of religion. We are passing through a period of brazen materialism. Electric lights, dance music and the spirit of Coney Island are too much with us. To be, sure. this will pass away as similar materialistic periods of the past. At the gwift pace of modern life we might well ask ourselves whether the dawn of a new day may ,not find our children impoverished because we did not remember to perpetuate these great truths that can hold a reeling world from destruction. Frankly, we might apply this iruth to ourselves. Are we devoting any of ihe wealth that the gifts of the past enabled us to accumulate to keep aglow the flame of religion? We all make wills. Are we by our testamentary gifts helping to pave the way to a noble Jewish life for our children? Why not gratify the desire to live again 7 · When the rabbi reads the Kaddish prayer and even when he mentions the names of the deceased ii is not he who makes them live again. It is we who l'emernber what they did for u s and who resolve i~ their name, to do our share fo1, those who are to follow. ' Tmi Kaddish service is more than a prayer of memorial. It is a service of consecration, wherein the dead salute the living and the living salute the unborn. -6- �EVENTS OF INTEREST A 95-YEAR-OLD Maryland law requiring public officials to swear to belief in the Christian religion was declared invalid Ly Judge Charles Marbury, who upheld the rig·ht of a councilman-elect to take offi~Q without taking th 2 customary oath on the grounds that he is a member of the pantheist religion. THE MASSACHUSETTS Hou~c of Representatives has approv\Qd the Fair Educational Practices Bill banning discrimi riation against students because of race, religion or national origin. THE REMAINS of Dr. Theodor Herzl, founder of political Zionism, were formally transferred to the Israe.J Government in a ceremony held in Vienna's largest hall, following a religious service conducted in a synagogue. Thousand· of Jews formed long lines outside the synagogue to pay their last respects to the, founder of the Zionist movement. The reburial ceremonies of Dr. Herzl's remains were attendc<l in Jerusalem by David Ben Gurion and other major Israel leaders. Dr. Weizman, ill in Switzerland. se,nt a message. Thousands of Israelis attended the services. ISRAEL has signed a trade agreement with Finland. making this the .fourth imch agreement with a foreign state. Poland, Hungarv and the Nether lands previously signed agl"Cements with Israel. ALL BUT THREE JEWS of the Jewish community in French Somaliland have emigrated to Israel, and the1'-.! are no ,Jews left in Italian and British Somaliland, according to information received in New York by the World Jewish Congress. THE ISRAEL FILM "A S'tate Is Born," has won the "Prize of Honor" at the Interr.ational Film Festival at Marienbad. A BLUEPRINT of Israel's compulsory military service bill was sketched for the Knesset by David Ben Gurion who al. o announced that Israel Army, Navy and Air Force officers wiJJ be gent abroad to receive training in the military academies of various Eastern and Western nations. The basic characteristics of the military service bill are: a permanent land, sea and air force of limited proportions; a body of recruits, who will be enlisted at the age of 18, if they are Israel residents and at 26 if they are new immigrants: a reserve force composed of veterans; specifically fortified frontier settlements whose residents will b~ soldier-farmers. A REQUEST In order to ensure perfect decorum during the High Holy Day Services as well as on Friday evenings, every cong-regant is urged to co-operate with the Temple ushers. Let our ushers always be but a mere symbol of our ncverence and respect and our sincere wish for the most perfect decorum during services. THE TEMPLE LIBRARY The Temple library is slowly but surely expanding. Several excellent volumes have been added to our library shelves this summn· and a ~oodly number of other volumes have recently been ordered. Much credit for the growth of our library is dU(:I to Fred Rodoff, who as chairman of this project is doing an exeellent job. On birthdays, anniversaries, or on the day of commemorating dear ones, let u. remember the Temple Library. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE One of the most pleasant experiences a person can have is through the knowledge of a free and clear consck.nce.

By paying your dues now. you will be straightening out with your God and your fellow man. Pe,r haps by paying your dues, you will experience the joy tr.at comes from a clear conscience. Send your check to the Temple office today. THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE Our Young People's League met a few weeks ago, elected officers and mapped out a cultural program which will be without a doubt a great contribution to our entire Jewish community. We can all look forward to many an enjoyable evening of entertainment and culture to be provided by the League,.. The old saying with regards to age is "it is not how old you are, but how old you feel you are". The Young People's League has no age limits set for its group. If you feel young, if you feel like participating in the Young People's League program, theJ1 do not wait for special inviti:i.tions, JOIN AND BE ACTIVE. BIBLE STUDY TO BE RESUMED The course in Judaism started last year, and which began with primitive religion and covered "The Five Books of .Moses" will be continued beginning Wednesday, October 26, at 8 :15 P.M. The first hour of the two houl' session, the book of Ecclesiastes will be studied and discussed. The second hour will be devoted to prophecy and the Religion of the Prophets.

Temple Telephone 2-2702 While September and October were busy months for those connected with the Temple, yet our children were not forgotten. A lovely service was arranged for the children on Yorn Kippur Day. This was followed by a beautiful party on Simchath Torah for the entire Sunday School, and another party a few days later for the little tots, sponsored by the Cradle Roll committee. Were it not for our beautiful Temple with its fine facilities, all these affairs would be impossible. Thanks to our Lord for our fine Temple. Rabbi Samuel Umen 1949-OFFICERS-1949 Paul M.

De<:ember 19, 1949 November November December December 1-1, 1949 28, 1949 12, 1949 26, 1949 THANKS FOR THE SUCCOH DECORATIONS It was thrilling both to the Rabbi and Congregation to enter our beautifully decorated Succoh on Succoth eve and recite therein, the Kiddush a.nd the traditional Succoth blessing. For our children too, the lesson of Succoth was made more meaningful and more vivid when their Sunday School teachers showed them the Succoh, and the Rabbi explained its meaning and history. Our deepest thanks go to the good Sisterhood members who in a pouring rain came to the Temple and spent several hours making the Succoh beautiful. May God reward these good women with many beautiful blessings throughout the year. FRIDAY EVENING SERVICE This year as last, we look forward from week to week to the lovely gatherings of our members at the Friday evening service. From time to time, some event will crop up either in the form of a dinner, a movie a ball game etc. which will test a Congregants loyalty and devotion to his Temple. Let us therefore from the very start resolve that i •'riday night is dedicated to Temple and prayer. Let us give at least one night of the seven to our soul, to things spiritual. AN INNOVATION November 1, 1949 De<:ember 6, 1949 THE HOLIDAY SERVICE IN RETROSPECT Everyone who attende4 the Holiday S1:rvi~es at the Temple this year W1ll agi·ee that begmnmg with the New Yar Service and ending with the Simchath Torah Service, there was !ittle that was lacking to have made the Se_rv1ces_ i:nore beautiful. There was beauty, a genume sp1l'lt of holiness and a feeling of oneness in the Congregati~n, from beginning to end. A vote of thanks for the magnificent manner in which eve1·ything was done ot make our Service as beautiful as it was, goes to our Rabbi, the choir the ehoir leader---.Mr. Paul Shultz, the Ore;anist-Mr. Hubert Baker, the ritual committee, and Jack Steindler, head of the Ushers Committee. Let us hope that from year to year, we shall continue to grow and improve. According to the finest educators and best principles of education, a child will learn a lesson quicker through pictures, illustrations and cbjects than by stories which taxes at time his imagination. In Sunday School, for example. as part of a lesson, a description will be given of a Synagogue Service. If, however, the child were to witness and participate in such a service, the lesson would be made much more understandable. In view of this, the Sunday School staff has decided, that once a month the children of our Sunday School be asked to attend a regular Sabbath morning Service. This will give our children a chance to see and experience theory in practice. We trust that all the parents concerned will co-operate with our C'chool and help carry out a project of invaluable worth to the child and of great importance to the School. THE FIRST SABBATH MORNING FOR OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, AT 9 :45 A.M. I I I I -2I �SUNDAY SCHOOL Our S'unday School is already in full swing with an enrollment of fifty five at this writing. By the first week in November, we hope to have P. few more children who, due to the holidays and sickness were delayed in registering. A very fine curriculum has bee·n prepared by the Rabbi. and with the proper care and supervision we hope to accomplish a great deal for our schoo1. Our aim is to make our Sunday School second to none in every respect. All we ask of the parents is to make sure that the children arc in school at the exact hour-10 :00 A.M. sharp. With our able staff of teachers, Gene Berman Principal, our Rabbi, and the parents cooperating, and with God's help we shall not fail <•ur children. The motto for our school is taken from scripture: ''AND THOU SHALT TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY U TO THY CHILDREN." HEBREW SCHOOL This is the beginning of the second year for our Hebrew School. Hebrew School opened on Monday, October 24th at 4 :00 P .M. All the children who started last year, returned to resume their studies. Smilingly they are at their lesson~ again. No, the children are not preparing for Bar Mitzah in these classes. They are studying the Hebrew language as one tudies French, Spanish. Latin or some other language. Hebrew is a living language again. It is taught in many high schools, colleges, and universities throughout the United States. ot only are more Jews studying Hebrew than ever before, but a great many non-Jews have taken to the study of Hebrew in lieu of another language. TWO ADULT COURSES IN HEBREW The a dult Hebrew class introduced last year at our Temple, and not without success, met again for this year on Monday, October 24th at 1 :00 P.M. to continue furthering its knowledge of the Hebrew language and literature. Since the adult Hebrew class meets in the afternoon . several individuals who would have liked to join the class could not do so last year on account of the hour. So that no one may be deprived of the opportunity to study Hebrew, another Hebrew class has been added this year. This beginner's class meets on Monday evenings from 7 :00 to 9 :00 P .M. at the Muskegon Junior College under the direction of Rabbi Umen. While this class is already in progress, it is not too late to register now. "Studies serve for pastimes for ornaments, for abilities. Their chief use for pastimes is in privateness and retiring; for ornaments in discourse; and for ability in judgment." THE BIBLE STUDY GROUP RESUMES STUDIES "If you have acquired knowledge" asks a great teacher,, "what are you Jacking?" "If you lack knowledge what have you got?" The chance to study and to widen your knowledge on the Jewish religion, its origin and growth, its philosophy and literature is at your door. Do not let this wonderful opportunity pass you by. The Bible Study Group meeting every other Wednesday is studying this year (as a continuation of last year's course) the book of Ecclesiastes-(Solmon's philosophy of life) fo1· the first hour, and the religion of the Prophets, the second hour of the session. The nex t meetin g of the B ible Stud y Group will be on Wedne s day e ven in g, Novembe r 9 at 8 : 15 P .M. in the recreation room of the Temple. SENIOR AND JU NIOR SU NDAY SCHOOL STAFF The following are the teachers in our Sunday School for the var 1949-50 : Rabbi Umen, Samuel f'hu.macher, Louis Grossman, Reva _Levy, Shir~ey Berkowitz and Gene Be11man acting as prmcipal.

The Junior Staff members erve as substitutes, and are being trained a!; full fledged teachers for our Sunday School. SISTERHOOD The first meeting of Sisterhood for the New Year, was held on Tuesday evening, October 4th.

The next Sisterhood meeting will be held on Tuesday November 1st promptly at 8 :30 P.M. At this meeting, Sisterhood will hear Dr. Norman Fleischman discuss the "Disadvantages of Socialized Medicine" . Come and enjoy a thought provoking discusssion at the next Sisterhood meeting.

The December meeting is . cheduled for Tuesday evcn:ng·, December 6th at 8 :30 P.M. YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE While there are only a few weeks since the beginning of our New Year, the YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE already met several times, reorganized itsel:!', elected officers, arranged two affairs-one a Hallowee'n Dance for the 29th of October, and the other a New Year's Eve Party for Saturday night December 31, 1949. At the same time too, the YOU G PEOPLE'S LEAGUE Forum Committee arranged a cultural program including professional entertainment which will be the talk of the town. The first program of entertainment will be given during the month of January. Details of the complete YOU G PEOPLE'S LEAGUE cultural program will be sent to our members shortly. POST CONFIRMATION CLASSES ORGANIZE A meeting of the Post Confirmation Class was held at the Temple on Wednesday evening, October 19, 7 :30 P .M. Besides the Post Confirmation group, there were present Jack Steindler, B'nai Brith representath·e in charge of Youth Activities; Herbert Fisher, President of the Young People's League, and Rabbi Umen An interesting program of activities was formulated at this meeting, and a regular meeting night set for the young group to hold their meetings. At the rate we are going, every man, woman and child will have a place in our Temple and contribute through their respective organizations to the enhancement of our community's welfare. BIRTHDAYS FOR NOVEMBER Julia Ann Friedenberg November 1 Harry S. Rogers November 1 Howard David Baru ovember 7 Laurie Anne Levine November 16 Lois Esther August ovember 25 Teny Wayne Braverman November 25 -3- �THE GOLDEN BOOK DEDICATION AND TESTIMONIAL DINNER Sunday November 6 is an important day for our Congregation. A fine program has been arranged for the dedication of the Golden Boo~. In connection with this dedication, there will also be a Testimonial Dinner in honor of several of our members who throughout the years have served their Congregation and the community with their time, energy and means. Those to b<.' honored at this dinner and dedication are: Reuben Berman Rebecca Shmookler Sadie Grossman Joseph S. Strifling Sarah Klein Josiah Wiener Hyman Lipman Eli M. Smith Max Rosenberg Harry A. Fisher J. Kelly Kaufman Ida Ashendo~·f Harold Rosen Robert Cherm Herman Mendelson JEWISH BOOK MONTH NOVEMBER 11-DECEMBER 11 WHY JEWISH BOOK MONTH? The Jewish Book Council of America is a broad representative organization "bringing toge~her Jews of varying religious an4 cultural _group1r:gs on a common platforI? of mterest m .Jew!sh literature" and covering the field of Jewish literary a.'ctivity in the Un~te4 States in i~s trilingual form of Hebrew, Yiddish and Enghsh. One of the methods used to achieve this objective is the campaign for the observance of Jewish Book Month conducted annually by the Council as a means of stimulating interest in the Jewish book and sustaining the interest aroused throughout the year. At no other time were there more cogent. reasons for such an observance. The time has come when American Jewry must play a positive part in assuring the survival of the J e"'.ish cultural heritage. The great European J ew1sh centers of learning and literature are in ruin~, the majority of the Jews of Europe have penc:hed, the potential talent and creative energies of the Jewish populations in Europe are destroyed. It is clear that the responsibility for restoring these ruins falls upon the Jews of America. The Jewish Book Council of America is one of the agencies of Jewish life in America which is assuming a share in this responsibility and is seeking ways of creating conditions favorable for the development of an American Jewish culture, and of preserving the age-old Jewish heritage. A deep consciousness of this need must be awakened and it, is hoped that Jewish Book Month will provide the impetus. WHAT HAVE PUBLIC LIBRARIES DONE TO OBSERVE JEWISH BOOK MONTH? Originated in 1926 as Jewish Book Week by a librarian (Miss Fanny Goldstein, Librarian of th West End Branch of the Boston Public Library), Jewish Book Month has been teadily gaining in importance as an annual observance in public libraries. Libraries in both large and small communities have arranged many attractive programs and exhibitions in the past. Public libraries have also participated in community-wide celebrations and a number have prepared special lists of books of Jewish interest for distribution. BIRTHDAYS FOR DECEMBER Donald Michael Wiener December 7 Harold Victor Shumacher December 15 Stanley Brooke Kantor December 18 Gale Patricia P1·ice December 20 Nancy Kay Ashendorf December 24 OU R LIBRARY This month being Book Month, our minds naturally tunn to books and libraries in general, anrl to our own library and books in particular. Due to the kindness of many of our members as well 'lS the commendable work of our library chairman, our library is growing from day to day. lowly but surely some of the finest books arc finding their way into our Temple Library. During the summer. thirty new volumes have been added to our lovely collection. May we suggest, that this month above all, is a very appropriate time to give a gift either in money or a book to the Temple Library. Both the donor'i, name and the name in whose honor or memory the book is given are attached to the covers of the book. "Books are the legacies that genius leaves to mankind, to be delivered down from generation to generation, as presents to those that are yet unborn." ISRA ELI ROOM TO B E DEDICATED NOV. 20 On November 2·1 of last year, during the din ner given in honor of Leo S. Rosen, and also at the time when our Temple was dedicated, about $4,000.00 do11ars were pledged by the dinner guests and paid for a room in our Temple, to be known 'lS the "Israeli Room". Between last year and now, a mural has been set up in one of the Temple classrooms, confirming the pledge and promisf made by this Congregation last November. Th,s mural which was carefully and tastefully designed, will be on a long time and serve as a symbol of the heroic deeds performed by our brethren in the establishment of a democratir Jewish i1tate, for which they hoped and waited for two chousand years. THIS ISRAELI ROOM, WILL BE FORMALLY DEDICATED ON SU DAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, AT 8 :00 P. M. OU'I'ST ANDING PERSO ALITIES, INCLUDING GOVER ·oR WILLIAMS WILL ATTEND AND P ARTI CIp ATE IN THE DEDICATORY SERVICE. UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES The time has come when we must take counsel together once again and decide how much we are going to do this year for our unfortunate brethren who wait for our help. Before doing so, however, we must first consider the meaning of 1:1, pledge to ourselves and the person to whom it is made. Last year too we met and pledged. Had our brethren depended on some of us entirely, there would be none of them left today to call upon us again. B etw e en now and Dece mb e r let us determine to clean up last year's appeal, and decide what our gift should be this year. It is wrong to play around with other people's lives. It is well to remember that every person in need is our broth er and we, more fortunate are his keeper. VIEWPOINT The man got his ailing friend as far as t he doctor's door, but there t he patient balked. Patient: "I'm a little leery about going in there." Friend: "Nonsense, this is one of the best doctors in the country." Patient: "Maybe so, but I don't like the odds he offers. Look on his door there-IO to 1." -4- �B'NAI BRITH EVENTS OF INTEREST Under the inspired leadership of its new president, Eugene Fisher, our B'nai Brith is making· rapid strides in its expansion program. With a memberi;hip at an all-time high o.f more t.han 100, the organizaiion is looking to<lay toward its most active year as a community service group. The dedication in conjunction with National B'nai Brith Week on Friday, Octcber 14th, started the new ball a-rolling. Rabbi Samuel Umen spoke on "Looking Backward and Fonvard", and deceased presidents of the lodge and the national organization were commemorated. This event was followed by a highly successful Polio Fund Benefit at the Temple on Sunday, October 16th, where an impressive turnout danced to Buddy Friend's music. Preentation of our check for $355.00 to a representative of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis highlighted the intermission program. Our B'nai Brith rates a low bow for this very worthwhile affair, which was one of the community's most successful Polio benefits. Strictly on the sccial side was the B'nai Brith meeting Monday, Oct. 24th. At least 60 members spent a thoroughly enjoyable evenin.e.-. thanks to an entertaining and enlightening program. Three films were shown, the first dealth with the popular sport of fishing, the second was a "Manch of Time" tribute to the F.B.I., and the third was a timely documentary on Palestine narrated by Frederic March. On Sunday morning October 30th, fall and winter bowling begins. All members are urged to come down to Demos Bowling Alleys and participate. This year we have something special to work for; and that something is our entry into the Michigan B'nai Brith Bowling League which will be held in Grand Rapids in 1950. And finally, on the academic side of the ledger, in the near future we are going to have an opportunity to hear Mr. Haskell Lazere of the Anti-Defamation League, the exact date of Mr. Lazere's talk will be announced later. THE JEWISH population of Smyrna, Turkey, has been reduced from 16,000 to 4,400 as a result of large-scale migration to Israel during the last few months. In August alone, 2,000 Turkish Jews left the country for Israel, which brought the total number of Jewish emigrants from Turkey to Israel to above 25,000 in one year. A SYNAGOGUE in Frankfurt was attacked by three Nazis during Yorn Kippur eve services. Two of the vandals were arrested; the third escaped. THE SECOND Rosh Hashanah since the state of Israel was established was observed in packed synagogues throughout the country. Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and Cabinet ministers and other Government officials offernd their prayers in the new temple in Northern Tai Aviv. 200 Ford trucks., paid for from funds which I rael receivea in the Export-Import Bank Joan, have been shipped to Israel. THE ESTABLISHMENT of a Department of Culture and Education to work in cooparation with local Jewish educational and cultural groups outside of Israel, has been announced by the Jewish Agency. The department will be headed by Dr. Hayim Greenberg, member of the Amarican section of the Agency executive. DISCRIMINATION against qualifid Jewish students seeking admission to colleges is widespread in p1;vate colleges in the Northeastern section of the country, according to Elmo Roper, public opinion analyst.

Now I come to cr1t1c1ze. I feel that I must express to you my great d1s-sat1sfact1on with happenings at and the conduct of our evening and morning services of Rosh Hashana last week. I refer first, to the stat1on1ng of a police officer at the very door of the Temple. This I consider an insult to every one of us, every member of the congregation. This must have been authorized by the Board; 1f so 1t was a sorry mistake. I respect our Babb1 very much, he 1s a wonderful man and leader, but I regret to say I think h1s •sermon" of that first evening, references to the policeman and moneys was, to say the least, 111 advised. It was undign1f1ed to discuss such matters at a time when our people were 1n the Temple for prayer, worship and instruction. I abhor the apparent attitude of the present Board toward the pledges and contributions of our people. They seem to oYerlook the fact that these are recession times, that 1t 1s not as easy for people to give now as 1t has been during past good years. I am well aware of our f1nanc1al cond1t1on and our budget of some $32Aooo., but diplomacy 1s needed to secure money, not clubs~ We need understanding and tolerance amo#ng us, not antagonism. The bulldozing tactics we have seen do more harm than good, instead of encouraging people to come to the Temple, we are dr1v1ng them away. �- - -/ I\. 9/28/60 Page Two This 1s my own personal opinion, but I fear that our Board, while having on it a group of very fine young men, 1s being controlled by just a few members--wh1le the others just go along with them. In past years we have accomplished a great deal in our community, end, in the main everyone was happy and co-operative. But--these few directors have, by 111 advised tactics and actions, undone much of the good accomplished 1n the past.

The meeting was called to order by the President at 8 : 15 P.M. Present were the following: Abe Ashendorf, Rose Lawsj, Robert Li bner, I sad ore Ashendorf, Alan Oppenheimer,~~§~cker, Arthur Bell, Dr . Arthur Greenberg, Dr . Morris Teles, Rabbi Kaplan, Jack Lipman, Douglas Rosen, Marvin Gudelsky, Or. Morton Kantor, Joel Wiener, Max Rothschild, and Louis Grossman. The Treasurer's report was read by Dr . Singer and approved. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Secretary and - approved . Old Business 1. President Ashendorf advised us of the zone change requested by Dr . Tyler for the property adjacent to the Rabbinate and the hearing notice in this matter was referred by the President to Sam Klayf and Leo Rosen for investigation . 2. A letter of appreciation from Mrs . M'rmel was read and acknowledged, as was a letter of appreciation to the Finance Committee by Mr. and Mrs. Fonstein. 3. Rose Lawson proposed that Dr . Singer be commended for his excellent work and tact by the Finance Committee in the dues and pledges for this year . 4. Everyone concurred . Marvin Gudelsky reported on the Board of Education and the following matters were discussed pertaining to Re l igious and - 1 - �Hebrew School problems: a. That a definite contract is to be entered into between the Board of Education and Mrs. Teles. b. The problem of prompt or earlier leaving for Sunday School children, particularly in the younger grades, is to be referred to the Board of Education . c. The matter of tuition for Hebrew School is to be reported on and the possibilities of a Hebrew class for adult women, if enough are interested. d. The parking and safety problem for the children on leaving the Re ligious School was discussed, as was the mud, mire, .,- water and lighting problems and pipe problem in our adjacent parking lot. All of these matters were referred to the Board of Education for further study and recommendations . 5. Concerning the Ritual and Usher Committees, there was extensive discussion and recommendations concerning the matter of decorum at services, particularly at Holy Day services. It was suggested that these suggestions be formulated into formal ritual or rules by the Usher and Ritua 1 Committees, to be acted upon, approved or disapproved, in part or in whole, by the Board so that the matter could be finalized amply before the next Holy Day services. It was suggested that it wou Id be preferred if no one cou Id leave or enter the services during crucial points of the service, particularly when the congregation is standing, when the Ark is open, or prior to the conclusion of the Rabbi's sermon. Further, that no one shou Id leave during the Torah service or during the - 2 - �sermon, except in the case of emergency. It was thought that perhaps one way to obtain decorum in advance of the commencement of the service would be for Mr . Bourziel to play the organ several minutes prior to the commencement thereof . 6. It was suggested that the small sanctuary be used for children's services - that this be given consideration . Abe Ashen- dorf insisted that we should all, as Board members and officers, urge attendance of our friends at the Friday evening services. New Business l. It was agreed that we should send a letter of thanks to the Adult Youth Group for their succah construction activities . For the excellent work of the choir we should send special commendation . 2. The fire alarm went off during the children ' s services in the Holy Days and it was agreed that Max Rothschild construct a hinged box over the fire alarm box . This was referred to the House Committee. 3. To the House Committee was also referred the mattet of inadequate lighting of our parking Jot . 4. Louis Grossman proposed that we recognize Joseph Singer for his cantorial services for this and past years and for this year it was particularly appropos that we give him financial recognition . The amount of $500 . 00 was suggested by Mr . Grossman, which was put in the form of a motion by Douglas Rosen , seconded, and then discussion was had on the question of whether or not Mr . Singer was to be paid $500 . 00 for his fine cantorial services for the past Holy Days. The motion was then amended by Mr . Rosen - 3 - �. . . . .. to allege re imbursement for expenditures rather than a r ecognit i on for services rendered . Rosen ' s motion and Thereafte r fr, Teles ' &i>t Teles moved to table Mr . mot i on to table carried . The motion for presentation at the next meet ing w i 11 be the or i g i na 1 motion to give Mr . Sfl,IP'th~a $500 . 00 g i ft in recognit i on of his past cantorial services rather than as a reimbursement for expenses . Mrs . Klayf and Mrs . Sarah Klein are in the hospital . We should go up and see them . Abe Ashendorf was commended for his fine participat i on in the Holy Days services . A,r. Rosen moved to congratulate the Rabbi for his f ine sermons for the Holy Day services . We are to send a letter to Dr . Philip Mil ler for his nice work on the Shofar .

Isadore Ashendorf suggested that the Treasurer earmark on his report the accumulation of funds for the parking lot improvement contemplated in the total amount of $2,000 . 00 . The dues collections were reviewed and the delinquencies were assigned to various Board Members for attempts at collection . OLD BUS INESS l. Office Efficiency Committee (Alan Oppenheimer and Max Rothsch il d ) indicated there was noth in g to report thus fa r . 2. Arthur Bell indicated some dissatisfaction with the wording concern i ng Yortzeit services in the Temple Bulletin and this was to be clarified by the Rabbi in the next Bulletin so as to indicate that it would be permissible to have the Yortzeit service on the next Fri day night following the ann iversary of the death . 3. The Rabb i suggested a meeting be scheduled for the Ri tual Comm i ttee to take up the matter of the appointment of various members of the congregation to take part at the services for what aid �• it may be in inducing additional attendance .

This was to be followed up by the Rabbi and reported back to the Board if it got out of hand . 2. The Rabbi advised that the Board of Education was con- sider i ng the need for Youth Group Scholarships from the Temple funds because the need for same surpasses the ability of the Youth Group and the Board of Education to raise the money independently . These scholarships are for the general purpose of sending some of our youth to leadership conclaves and summer camp, etc . , when the opportunit ies arise . 3. Concerning the proposed planned additional classrooms for the Religious School, the Board of Education desires some voice in the planning of this project so as to enable suggest i ons to be made by the Board of Education directly to the Temple Board members work ing on this project in the hope of getting everyone ' s • viewpoint on this and perhaps solving problems in advance of the erection of the new schoolrooms . 4. The House Committee reported, through Dr . Singer, that - 2 - �$800 . 00 was collected from the insurance carrier for damages created by the boiler in the Temple . 5. Clher committees had nothing to report at this meeting but it was generally felt that more committee meetings were going to be scheduled in the future and the Social Action and the B' Nai B' rith groups were going to integrate activities concerning the Jewish problem in the community, wherever it existed . GOOD AND WELFARE Rabbi Kaplan reviewed the progress of the ill memoers of our community, including Justin Gudelsky, Phi lip Gran i k, Selma Cahn, ~rs . Jacobs, Charles Rabinsky, Mrs . Klayf, Regina Ross and noted that l.lrs . Kantor ' s father had passed away from a heart attack .

Oan Rapoport advised the Board of certain anti-Semitic sermons sponsored by the "Church of the Open Door" over one of our local radio stations by a Minister named Bureau. The Rabbi advised us of his contact with Reverend Bureau and this matter was to be referred to the Social Action Committee and possibly the Anti-Defamation League of B' nai B' rith. 6. Proposals and plans were submitted by Rabbi Kaplan for the expansion of the Religious School classrooms and also for a modification of our present plan of Confirmation so as to have a tenth grade confirmation rather than the ninth grade, with the idea in mind to foster continued religious education of our youth beyond the present level. It was explained that this would not require a great change in the present curricula and if we do not approve it now, this will be commenced no earlier than with the present seventh grade and no late r than for the fifth grade . Marvin Gudelsky appointed a committee to discuss and consider the merits of th is proposal after Dr. Kantor pointed out the possible serious conflicts between the social and educational schedule of the public school with the religious program .

On the motion of Max Rothschild the regular RulEt>and order of business were suspended . Alan Oppenheimer, Co-Chairman of the Office Efficiency Committe~ read to us an extensive committee report of their findings and recommendations based upon a study of Temple office procedures over a period of approximately two to three months . The following recommendations were submitted for adopt i on by - l - �the Board : 1. All purchase orders in the future for all materials are to be signed by one authorized person on forms to be provided on a regular purchase order type voucher . This authorized person is to have a designated representative or agent, so that in the event he is absent at the time a purchase order needs to be secured , the a l ternate person can be delegated to s i gn same . 2. Temple organizations other than the strict business operation of the Temple should not use or work in the Temple off ices during regular bus iness hours when the Sec r etary is working , except upon special arrangement with the Rabbi • and/or the Secretary and all efforts should be made to perform Committee and other organization bus i ness funct ions in other areas either in the Temple or at home . 3. The Temple filing system is to be r eviewed and stream- lined in accor dance with the written recommendations of the Office Effic iency Committee . 4. A Bullet i n Comm ittee is to be appo inted, the i ntent i on being to divest the Rabbi of the clerical function of pre paring the Temp le Bulletin on a monthly basis so that he can devote his full t ime and efforts to h i s pri ncipal Temple dut ies . 5. A Te lephone Committee is to be appointed so that the Temple Secretary wi 11 not ha ve to do phone call ing, except for Board meet ings . 6. Wherever possible, the Sec r eta r y of the Temple should use ca r bon copies rather than the duplicating mach i ne . - 2 - �7. Long distance phone calls are to be made only by author- ized personnel of the Temple . 8. The Vice - President of the Temple Soard is to be appointed in charge of all office operations and is to be empowered to appoint the necessary sub-committees to carry out the foregoing recommendat ions . After some discuss i on by the group, Mr . Jack Lipmann moved the adopt i on of the recommendations of the Office Eff ic iency Committee, whose job, parenthetically, was commended and characterized as excellent by our President and the Board of Trustees . The mot i on of Mr . Lipmann was seconded by Mr . Rothschild and was unanimously carr ied . • The Ritual Committee, represented by Mr . Rothschild and Mr . Arthur Bell , had no report to submit as of the April meeting . The Board of Education Committee, represented by VicePresident Marvin Gudelsky, indicated that the Sisterhood has now given i ts $ 150 . 00 contribution toward the youth scholarship fund program for summer camps and now the Temple must provide its share as agreed upon . Mr . Gudelsky moved that the Board of Education ' s plan for 10th grade confirmation, submitted prev i ously , be approved and that the Board of Education be vested wi th the power to decide whether it is to apply to the pr esent 5th , 6th or 7th grade classes . Elaine Friend seconded the motion and i t was unanimously approved after a great deal of inte r esting discuss i on, pro and con . It must be noted that the feeling of the Board of Trustees , on approving this plan , was to approve i t on a trial bas i s only and to see - 3 - �how i t worked out in pract ice and then, after the trial period, we were aga i n to review the merits of the proposal . I t was also sug- gested by Rabbi Kaplan that the matter of this plan be held in the strictest confidence at the present time so that needless discussion and unwarranted panic on the part of Temple members be avoided . The Soc ial Action Comm i ttee was represented by Rabbi Kaplan, who indicated that Reverend Bu r caw may be dy ing of cancer; may have seduced a fellow congregant and may be leav ing town on the next train so that all problems as to his bitter anti-Semitic radio propaganda has been resolved, at least temporarily . Old Bus iness . Isadore Ashendorf advised us that the Golden Book has not been kept up to date and Rose Lawson indicated that that would be ' taken ca re of . New Business . Arthur Bell was nominated as Chairman of the Nominating Committee for Temple Officers and Board Members and a slate of officers was to be provided at the May meeting of the Temp le . The Rabb i ad vi sed that the Temple Secretary ' s hours were not completely satisfactory; however , he noted that the Temple Secretary was extremely competent and doing a splendid job, so tha t adjust ments would be made . Mr . Rosen and the Rabbi were to arrange wi th Edd ie Penney to stay long enough so that the 10 ch i ldren attending the Rel i g i ous Schoo l between the hours of 4 : 00 and 6: 00 P. M. would not come to the Temple when it was unattended and unchaperoned . The matter of starting services at 8 : 15 rather than 8 : 30 was agreed upon by the Rabb i and the d i ff i culty of commencing the Temple Board Meetings earl ier was noted because of the conflict in - 4 - �.. ., ." the Rabbi ' s schedule, since he had confirmation classes extending to 8 : 15 or 8:30 on Board Meeting nights . Leo Rosen advised us that the matter of the Temple's contribution to the Rabbi ' s pension fund was resolved on his trip to Chicago recently. He suggested that the mortgage burning ceremony be held in abeyance to be celebrated in conjunction with the proposed Temple expansion program and this wi 11 be brought up again at the next Temple Board meeting. Mr . Kaufman recommended to Mr . Rosen that a committee of Board Members should be appointed by the President to work with and assist and learn from Leo Rosen on this presently existing Temple building expansion program . of this recommendat i on was decided at this meeting .

Ml NUTES The meeting was called to order by President Marvin Gudelsky at 8 : 07 P. M. OFF ICERS PRESENT : Marvin Gudelsky; Alan Oppenheimer; Joel Weiner; Rose Lawson; Robert Libner; and Max Rothschild . TRUSTEES PRESENT: Mrs . Helen Parker; Mrs . Lawson; Mrs . Elaine Friend; Dr . Maurice Stromberg; Douglas Rosen; Sam Singer; Bernard Stern; Dr. Greenberg; Arthur Bell; Leo Rosen; Rabbi Kaplan; Or . Teles; Jack Steindler; Bernard Becker; Abe Ashendorf; Isadore Ashendorf; and Jess Levin . The first order of business was discussion by the President of our very embarrassing financial predicament . It was noted that we needed at least an additional $400.00 by the end of this month to pay our current bills and delinquent pledgees were discussed and names allocated to Board members for collection . Good and Welfare . 1. A condolence letter was to be mailed to the Reuben Berman family, Rose Lawson to prepare same. 2. Rabbi Kaplan was to prepare a message for i nscr ipt ion upon a plaque consisting of a resolution of recognition of the past services of the deceased Reuben Berman to the community and this plaque was to be given to the widow at a suitable opportun i ty . 3. Mrs . Cherin asked for unskilled labor from the Board members to -1- �fix the shelving for the Religious School and Sisterhood in the office and also advised us of her need for a lock on her drawer . Leo Rosen wisely suggested that a professional be hired to avoid the probab i l i ty of a botcned job . 4. Alan Oppenheimer, on behalf of B' Na i Brith, requested a place for B' Nai Brith mater ials i n our Temple library as well as a bulletin board . The bulletin board request was for posting literature of the Anti-defamation League . Because of objections to the public nature of the 1 ibrary space , the bu! let in board concept was denied . The library space request was granted . Minutes of the February meet i ng were r ead by Secretary protempore, Rose Lawson , and were corrected to include other Trustee membe r s present, consist i ng of Bernard Stern, Dr . Greenberg and Alan Oppenheimer in addition to those prev i ously noted in the minutes . The minu t es were approved as corrected . Marv in Gudelsky discussed the advisability of a Temple contribut i on to the Al l Fa iths Chapel . This matter was informally tabled . Ma r v i n Gudelsky indicated the need for his appo i ntment of a Nominating Committee and proposed several names . Not r equiring Board acceptance or approval , he is to undertake this on his own . Mrs . Helen Parke r welcomed the assistance and help of the Board of Trustees in the sale of the Murray Banks tickets . New Bus iness . The Rabbin ical contract was discussed at length and culminated in a mot i on on the part of Douglas Rosen that the existing contract ~ now had with Rabbi Kaplan be extended for a period of an additional one year commencing August 30, 1963 and extending through September - 2- �' I, 1964. The motion was seconded by Bernard Becker and there was considerable discussion, after which the question was called for and the motion carried, 23 yeas, I nay (the nay vote being a Board of Trustee member who had expressed a desire for a continuing open contract) . Respectfully submitted, Robert Libner, Secretary . - 3 - �, .. 1REASURER'S REPORT - CONl'\REGATION B'NAI ISRAEL - !-'.ARCH, 1963 GENEiiAL FUND RECEIPTS Total Received Received This Amount Amount This Month Fiscal Year Unpaid 3/31 ile~es 96~3 Dues •9. 4lli.6l $2,079. 25 ~19,739.61 ~7,335 , 36( 1) '" 1961--62 Dues 888. 54 0 l, 706.46 886.54 1960-61 Dues 245. 00 0 215.00 245. 00 Totals i2,079. 25 ~27,074.97 $8,468.90 Miscellaneous Receipts Phone & Office Supplies 23.95(Z..) 282. 67 Donations 10.00. >) 1,132.00 Board of Ed .

CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Jew and Fellow Contributor Just a few days ago, as we observed Passover, we read the story of the Exodus. For those of us who are participants in a U .J .A . drive, this is not just the retelling of an ancient event, for we realize that in almost every generation there is a new Exodus. But it is our generation that has been fortunate in helping to secure a land for those who must leave their "House of Bondage". I wish to thank each of you for the contributions that you have made during the past year, and will continue to make to our current campaign. Our task has not been completed, nor will it be as long as so many of our fellow Jews must wait in hostile lands for their chance to enter Israel.

J.C. CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Jew and Fellow Contributor, You and I accomplished our goal in the 1964 campaign. We con find satisfaction and toke pride in this achievement. As Jews, we helped other Jews and helped ourselves. For example, contributions of $325 each transported a Jew from North Africa to Israel and provided for him or her while in transit; a contribution of $150 bought hot nourishing lunches for four school children in North Africa for the entire year; $450 provided six speakers from the Anti-Defamation League to speak at col'leges and universities to refute anti-Jewish Arab propaganda; and a $1000 subsidy permitted a young Rabbi to finish his studies at the Hebrew Union College. Our job is not done. There are still one million Jews abroad who exist only to be delivered to Israel. There ore still Arab inciters in the United States who would destroy Israel. There are still Ku Klux Klanners and Nazis who would destroy you and me. Therefore, with the satisfaction of having accomplished our goals in 1964 and having helped fellow Jews and ourselves: let us re-set our goals to the needs of this year. Let us thank God that we are the charitable port of World Jewry who are able to contribute to the future.

CHAIRMAN In this day and age of tremendous speed and scientific advancement, we of the Jewish faith are dealing with on archaic problem. That of helping our fellow Jews. This is not a new problem and with the passage of time it has taken many forms. We in the United States are greatly blessed. We have the freedom and rights other Jews were unable to have. Israel is providing the rights we toke for granted. We must help our fellov.. man; it is our duty and privilege. The resettlement of Jews released from Iron Curtain and other countries is costly. To accomplish this aim, UJA needs your help. As a member of UJC and our community, your participation, no matter how large or small, is necessary. Let all of us do our part to help restore the dignity of Jews all over the world.

MESSAGl: THE recent Eichmann trial is symbolic of Israel's role in the total universal mosaic, of which it is a vibrant, living, growing part. As members of a world community, in whose name Israel acts in this case, we place Eichmann on trial, not for his life, but for life itself, and in a greater compass we talk of the survival of the life of the State of Israel itself. This is of course a big port, but only a part, of United Jewish Appeal participation in world wide charity. "TZEDAKAH" embraces all forms of those in need, and loving thy neighbor encompasses a conviction that we help oil brethren, wherever they may be, who are in need. Our religion should teach us that ritual is only a port of being religious; it should consist also of service and charity - and this means participation to what ever extent, however smal I or large, by every member of our community. For each member who is weak, the surviving must be strong. Our work in the great experiment of the instinct of the human will is the ultimate response and fulfillment of replacing weakness with strength. Here's to a great campaign for 1961- 1962.
