In these days when chenge and confusion are rife throughout the world, it is heartening to find a people whose devotion to the ancient faith of their father~ re1naine unaltered throt141h the centuries, If every A~erican pledged the sama steadfast allegiance to the principles of liberty t.nd freedom upon which our great democracy ie founded, the future security and welfare of the United States would be assured. During the fifty years since Congregation l3 1l1ai Israel was established, it has not only served its mcmber3 well but has contributed in no slllall measure to the commu.nity life of the City of Muskegon. It ie my earnest hope that in the years to col:18, as in the paet, Congregation l3 1Nai Israel will continue steadi ly to grow and prosper. Sincerely, c~~~ GOVERNOR • �• • I �..

For in lhe library of Rahbl Cohen's home. or in lhe Hackley Li. brory. is where our friend spenl a (/Teat deal of his lime. In lus Sunday School work, the children from the little lob lo the confirmation doss. oil loved their Rabbi and were proud to have him tolk to them. If only for a few minutes. His love for the children was •incere, which began with his own ,on who. in hio way ol thinking, wn, a gilt from God. Hec«I, Hen.el was married, and In the course of lime was hleued with a dauahter. No prouder Grandparent ever lived, Rabbi Cohen told lhe wo,fd he now must be treoled with more respc<:t. He wos a Grandfather. He was very humble. and well do l remember when he wa, a guest speaker at M,tskgon Hl11h School. Refre,hmenl• were served ofter his t;,Jk. "How different ii 1$ In Ru,slo," be said. "11..ere a large loaf ol rye bread must la&t n famlly for two weeks. It is unheard of to offer a friend a aandwlch, for if you dtd, you would flO hungry. What a blessed country thla 1$. How wonderful are Its people." A, I became better acquninled with him, I grew more fond of Rabbi Cohen Md realized that lhrough clrcumstancu I wa, being bl.,,ed with o beautiful lr1end,h1p and a rare charocter. Rabbi Cohen cnmc to Mu,kegon in Mny. 1937 to serve lhe Jewish Congregation and here he spent the remainder of hi, life. He was po5<essed will. a breadth of vl•lon and a bnck11round of eduutlon. trovd, and experience. He freely gave of hi• services to civic as well as to religiou, nITnirs. H"- recognized. ond accepled responsibility of community service. He was poss«secl with a great sense of humor. He wu the type of clti>.cn to be valued in any city, eapecially tbrou11h lryihg lime,, when 10ne leaderahip was so ur11ently needed. \,Vhen the Jew was persecuted In Germany. he could not eat he felt so badly. When he spoke nt an American Legion meeting before we entered the Second World War. he told hio audience 1he Jew of Muskegon will do his duty when called on. nnd how right he wa,, witb 60 to 75 families, over 44 Jewish boy• from Muskegon acrved in the Second World War. In our ,cvcral tnllu together. I a.sked Rabbi Cohen why he didn't go to a larger community where they could nfford to pay him a higher salary, aa he well deserved lor hi• ability. He replied, .. , was n Rabbi in Chicago. hut I like a smaller community like Mu•kegqn. Here I lmow them all. I can call them Sam. Harry. and Leo. In a lar~•r community l am n•ked to marry people I never anw before and probnbly never will s« again, ancl eulogize tho dead whom I never knew.'' Money did not ba,·e n high value in Rabbi Cohen'• hfe. 11,e privilege of knowing R!lbb! Cohen wa, mine and your,. He made a bette, community or Muakeeon during hio life here wrth U$, His name will always be insctibecl In our heurts. Whrle our Good Lord Blessed thlo congregotlon with the fruit of lu, lnbor, like Mo••• who never entered the Promised Land, 10 God took our Rahhi lo hta borne on high. wnhout him hein~ able to &ee 1hu ma11nlficent Temple. To you. Mn. Cohen and Hcrzcl. u given the honor of seeing th1$ b,autlful Temple. the Library witb Rabbi's lovely boob. and the sohool rooms. The many children. whom he so denrly loved. will carry on the studies of Judatsm. It I• w ith grent pride.

That the Chairman and the Treasurer sign all vouchers and checks drawn on the bank account of this Association. 3. That the Chairman have the power to appoint, with the consent of the elected trustees, five additional trustees to serve in the capacity of a trustee during that period in which a Chairman presides. In order that these proposed changes be given thorough consideration, this meeting is being called just prior to the B1 Nai B1Rith meeting on the same evening. Please make every effort to attend.

During 1943 grealer demands were made on lhis communily for increased fi. nancial assistance from overseas, national and local instillltions and agencies. Our community accepted the challenge and raised $14,065.00, or an increase of 156 % over the previous year. Thus you have made it possible for Muskegon lo be known nationally as one of the most philanthropic communities on a per capita basis. Your auention is called to Schedule A-1 which shows allocations to thirty-six inslitulions and agencies. This is seven more lhan we contributed lo last year. ,vc also increased and in some cases doubled the allocations over whal we gave last year w lhe same recipients. An allocation of $250.00 was sent to the Hebrew University of Palestine with instructions that this sum be awarded in the name of the Muskegon Jewish Community as an annual scholarship to a worthy refugee studelll in agriculwre. \Ve will be advised of the student's name and background when the award is made. This is a magnificent expression of generosity on the parl of this communily. \Ve are now forming a Cemetery As5ociation to be known as Mona View Ilebrcw Cemetery Association, with Milton Sleindler as its temporary chairman until an election is held and by-laws are adopted. ln the meantime we arc negotiating with the Cily of Muskegon Heights for the purchase of approximately $20,000.00 worth of lots lo be paid for within lcn years. Your board voled a S2,ooo.oo Joan Lo the Cemetery Association wil11 instruclions thal said Joan be used as a down payment lOwards lhc purchase of the lots. Il might be necessary in the future years to advance addilional funds to ma intain the contracl wil11 the Cily o( Muskegon HeighlS, bul eventually as the lots arc sold the monies advanced will be repaid lO the Uniled Jewish Charities. It has been a source of pleasure to work wil11 each and every one of you. Your whole-beaned sacrifice and cooperalion has kept us uni led in the pasl and il also assures a united, bright future.

Skolkin Lewis .Jack Steindler Nathan Talbot �Monday eve. 7-17-44 Dear Mom: !l's hard Lo begin to write about Dad, because there is so m~1ch to say. ~cople's reaction when _they first met h!m was, h~'\'. a live he i_s! ho,~ lively! Dad _lived the fullest kind o( life, full of the k111d of acL1vity he believed 111. Money was of no consequence Lo him, and the strivings of so many other professional r~1en for publicity and glory ~illed hin~ with disd~in. altho _he _had neither false pr~de nor false modesty. H is idea of ~1fe was a life of activity in and for a gr~>up; his J ews; his family; his community; his country. I remember how on Yom K1ppur he u~ed to emphasize Isaiah's ringing demand: "Thal thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh!" To him the urge to organize his fellowmen to perform useful and sacred duties was irresistible. He brought children togethe1· into religious study; he brought their parents to synagogue and to Zionist work; he reached out i~to the general community to find more groups where he could expound and explain and teach and exhort. J remember some of his favorite ver ses: "\Vorship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." "Purify yourselves, ye bearers of Lhe vessels of the Lord." H is most successful hymn was called Lhe Joy of \Vorship. You can see how he associated purity and beauty and holiness with religious worship, which was of course group worship. Probably it is not chance that during his last days in the hospital, when he surely knew his days were numbered, he chose to read a book on "The Social Origins of Greek Religion." The thesis of Lhis book is that the most elevated religious concepts have their roots in the ordinary every-day activities of a primitive community (and not, therefore, in the solitary meclitations of a hermit). Out of the struggles LO grow food and catch game, LO grow into manhood and raise a family, Lo resist or cajole natural forces, there grow ideas o( God, salvation, human brotherhood, and immortal ity. So the life of Lhc group is the source of holy things. l\ot that Dad had any illusions about his Jew~. But he must always have felt that in spite of ignorance, incliffc:rence, and smugness, there was always hope. H e used to say (I forget the exact words): "Judaism has faith in the infinite improvability of man." .Judaism, and Aaron Cohen, too. From the time when, at the age of fifteen, he ate mok)y bn!'a d in . order to buy Zionist pamphlets; ancl not long afler that, l~rav_ed the ~py1ng o( t!1c Imperial Russian secret police to participate in illegal Z10n1sL mceungs; for fifty years he l,1bo1cd for Judaism and for Zion, talking, _wriL_ing, tca~hing, _or&a~izi~1g, creating poclr)' and· song, leading prayer. Great fa1tll, 111decd, 111 Lhe mfi111te 11nprovahility of his fellow man. Well, there are many other things to remember and I'm sure they'll come back to me. I remember Lhat he was never afraid and never unkind, and that he hated ignorance and cruelty more Lhan anything else in the universe, and that indifference to human suffering hurt_ him more Ll~an any physcial pain he ever felt. \Vriting of Lhe massacres of the Po!tsh and Russian Jews by the Nazis, he said "The horror is that there is no horror." And I'm sure you remember well, Mom, how when Hitler came to power, he suffered every clay with the German Jews. And in his last days, w~en .fl?wers and messages of cheer pou~·ecl in to fill his room to overflowing, he said, 1. housan\l,s of young men are dying everyday, and they make all this fuss about one man. _Well, ther~ arc pleasanter things to remember, too. He loved to laugh and joke, to smg, to wntc plays ~ncl poem~, t? walk, ~o find something and someone new every day, to be wilh children. His life was nch and full, and our lives have been richer and fuller because we were so close to him. He left us when he was still in his youth, because he never grew old. 1'vl uch much love, Herzl. �The communiLy mourns Lhe loss of Rabbi Aaron Cohen who passed away on May 21, •9·-l + The greatness o( the Rabbi is best expressed in a leuer which was wriuen by his son Hel'II Lo his mother, and with Mrs. Cohen's permission the letter is published together with two of the many poe1m which the Rabbi left behind. r RABIH COHEN Hear 111) Father!

MORRIS TELES Committee �• cA M essage from Your Chairman = Your officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon present herewith the annual report for fiscal year ending August 31st, 1946. All requests for relief and assistance were equitably treated. A loan of $2,000.00 was made to the Congregation B'nai Israel, and President Sam Klayf promised to re-pay said sum by the end of 1947. An additional loan of $500.00 was made to the Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association in order for them to meet contract obligations with the City of Muskegon Heights. This makes a total of $4,500.00 loaned to Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association which is to be repaid to United Jewish Charities. The Lake District Resettlement Organization was dissolved and the cash balance of $403.84 was transferred to our account. The sum of $678.50 which was loaned to Mr. and Mrs. Max Schumacher by Lake District Resettlement Service was re-paid in full and deFosited to the credit of United Jewish Charities. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher. With this report the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is ending six years of notable service in behalf of our suffering people in Europe and our own national and local institutions. I, also, am completing six years of service as founder and chairman of this organization and I am indeed happy and pleased for having had the privilege of serving our community and people. The Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon is challenged today as never before by the task of raising BY THREE-FOLD OF LAST YEAR'S QUOTA IN OUR 1946-47 campaign. Mr. Jacob Kaufman agreed to accept the chairmanship for the coming campaign which will be officia!ly opened on November 6th at 6:30 P.M. at the Occidental Hotel Ballroom.

At the oonolusion of the dinner, the meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. Chairman Paul Wiener was introduced by the secretary, Morton L. Wolfe, who lauded Mr. ,Wiener 'a ,unselfis~ devotion to all Jewish causes, and who emphasized the fact that much of th~ suooes.s of Muskegon's Je,wry in recent years has been due to the unselfish efforts of our Chairman, Mr. Paul Wiener. Mr. Wiener, after giving a short resume of the functions of the organization, at the same time reminded the membership that the success was not accomplished without the wb>le-bearted united cooperation of the entire community. He then introduced Rabbi Satlow, who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. B. Benedict Glaser, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Detroit. Dr. Glaser's address was both inspiring and educational, and although he spoke for a full hour, bis audience listened attentively and thoroughly enjoyed his every utterance. After reviewing the faot that only a small fraction of the Jewish Community still exists in Europe, he stressed the fact that this group not only needs and looks to assistance from American Jewry, but it cannot survive unless this aid is forthcoming. He also spoke as to the attitude the Jews in America should display in regards to matters politic. He emphasized �to the United Jewish Appeal during the current fiscal year, with the possibility that this amount may be increased if financial conditions warranted same. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjoumed at 11:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~-03:: v~ Acting Secretary. P.s. At the writing of these minutes, I am concluding fi-ve years as Secretary of the Organization, therefore I am taking tbe privilege of writing a departing message. I was happy to have bad the opportunity to have served the great humanitarian causes represented in the allocations hereinbefore set out. As a result of my small participation, I have derived tremendous benefits that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. My entire perspective in human endeavor and better appreciation of the true values of life are only a fiew of the positive results. It goes without saying that I have enjoyed to no small degree the personal friendships that have been made with the various members of the Board during their respective years of service. It is my fervent hope that those that are capable of leadership will continue to bear the responsibility of leading, because if those who have the ability to lead refuse to take up this responsibility, all that has been gained thus far will slip away into oblivion. In oonolusi$n, may I say - thanks loads for allowing me to participate in your work. Sincerely, �ME . TINS- O:? T~E 30A RD 0:" TRUS:'EES, UNITED JE' IS H CHA.

M. KAUFMAN Chflirrr,1"111 r �THE FA TE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure determined by the efforts of individuals willing and capable of leadership in organizational work. It has been Muskegon Jewry's good 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 responsibility of surpassing 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 to physical limitations is a source of great disappointment to him and to us. Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can appreciate the great burden of gratitude that chis community will alwavs owe him. - DR.

My sincere thanks to all of you. This report of the United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress.

Mr. Avrunim was invited to Muskegon to explain to the board the purposes and the needs of the Council. Mr. Avrunim's remarks were enlightening and well received. He explained that the Council was formed to fill a need demanded by local chartty boards. The Council investigates the nature of the organizations which make charitable requests of local federations. The needs of these organizations, their budgets, their purposes, etc., are studied by the Council and these results are made available to the individual communities. This information is necessary in order to make reasonable and equitable allocations. Mr. Avrunim pointed out specific instances of disproportionate allocations made because of a dearth of statistical information. Mr. Avrunim also made remarks concerning the relationship of local to national organizations, and recommended greater autonomy for local federations. He lamented the mushroom growth of civic protective agencies whose work too often overlapped. He criticized organizations which raise money for operational expenses, and use these funds for capital expenditures. He recommended the establishment of inter-community cultural groups to facilitate the procurement of qualified Jewish lecturers and entertainers for the small towns and cities.

The l~tter informed the U.J.A. of this community's fl.nancial burden in its attempt to build a house of worship. Mr. Kaufman pointed out that the building project had been delayed by the war, and that its facili~s were desperately needed to fill the needs of the community. He explained the financial demands made upon llfuskegon Jewry and the latter's limitations in meeting these demands. He conjectured that for the year 1947-8 we would be unable to approach our accomplishments of 1946-47, and asked that we be assigned a quota not in excess of $15,000. After much discussion in favor for and against the views expressed in the letter, Sam Lipman suggested that Mr. Kaufman's recommendations be adopted. It was decided that H. s. Berman, Harold Rosen, and Morris Teles re-draft the letter to exclude unnecessary detail. Abe Ashendorf moved that Harry S. Berman be authorized to cosign checks issued by the U. J . C.

Also present were consultant trustees, Maurice Golden, Mrs. Charles Locke and Frederick Stein. Joe Strifline and Max Rosenberg were also present and participated in the discussions . Leo Rosen presented to the board and to the U. J . A. representatives a brief summary of the com:mnity 1 s financial capacity and obligations with respect to our building progra~, our communal activities, and to the u. J. A. He pointed out the importance of completing our building program to assure the continuance and development of a virile community. The well-integrated community could afford constant contributions to U.J.A., and we must not allow our resources to be dissp~ted. The morale of the com.immity is at stage in protecting the building program . Nevertheless, Mr . Rosen concluded, we should be happy to accept a reasonable cuota from U.J.A., anything within reason that would not criople our capacity for future growth. �u.J.C..

Jo - 3 - 'I 7 Fred Stein asked Mr. Kosen if the forthco:ning drive would be the last great camp'lign. Mr. Kosen answered that we cannot anticip.:i.te history. U. J. A. leaders had hoped that the 85,000 D. P. 1 s in Europe would be resettled in 1946. Instead, their members enlarged to 250,000, bnigration to Pales+,ine and elsewhere was restricted, resettle~ent in the lands of their origin wus obstructed by politics &nd war-born antisemitism. Furthermore, the American 1ollar had beco~e devaluated, opportunities of procuring Army surolus at reduced prices had disappeared, U.N.N.R.A. was dead, and I.R.O. remained in existence only on pa~er. The need is at nresent for more than the $170,000,000 asked. $400,000,000 could be used. Some of those present expressed the belief that their individu:11 contributions to the forthco:'1ing ca:noaign ·m-a.Ld be less than last year. They had, they s1id, extended themselves beyond their capacities last year on the promise that last year ' s campaign would be the last grsat one. It was pointed out that had some 250,000 Jews sill alive in Eiu_rope, died last year our problem would have been si.!nryler, the demands on us sm~ller. Should we com0lain th~t we still have the opportunity of aiding these brothers? Mrs. Cohen ~ave a brief and informal talk. She questioned that anyone would be deprived of the neces.,ities of life by increasing their contributions . She reminded the audience that during the war years of 1941-45, our coo.:au.riities prospered financially and m~de no contributions to save European Jewry because they could not. After a free ride of five years, she damanded, it is time to pay. Motions and amend.'Ilents were made to assume various definite quotas. Wnen these were all defeated the following ~otion by Harry S. BeraPn (who had yielded the chair to Leo Rosen) carried: 11 That the United Jeuish Charities of Greo.ter Muskepon exert ever/ effort to attain the highest possible goal, ana that all names collected in excess of $10,000 be allocated to the United Jel'rish AT)oeal.n �J£ w Is H Cff-PrflTl'ES SPECIAL BOARD IBETING Harry S.

BERMAN Chairman \ \ / �- The success of organized community charities and philanthropies to a great extent depen<ls on the sympathy, generosity and ability of its leaders. The Un,te<l Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon face<l its greatest challenge last year when it ha<l to raise more fun<ls than at any time before in ,ts history and still not interfere\\ ith the fund-raising for our Temple. This challenge \\ as accepte<l by the able and energetic Harry S. B<:rman. Through his able lea<lership and devotion to the cause, a new goal was attained. To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowle<lges a <lebt of gratitude and appreciation for an assignment well <lone. PAUL M. WIENER, Honorary Chairman �A f.IBSSAGE FROO THE CHAIRHAN OF THE U. J . C. It was indeed an honor and pr ivilege 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 t he 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. Buskegon Jewry deserves credit for its generous gifts to the U.J. C. in past years . Our giving made it possible for our brethren tc 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.

But whosoever is carefu l in the fulfillment of this duty attests himself as belonging to the seed of Abraham, whom the Lord hath blessed: "For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do Tzedakah and Justice." (Genesis 18. 19.) Charity is the main foundation of Israel's preeminence, and the basis of the Law of Truth. As the prophet says unto Zion: "By Tzedakah shalt thou be established" (Isaiah 54. 14). Its practice will alone bring about Israel's redemption : "Zion sh al I be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with Tzedakah" (Isaiah I. 27). Charity is greater than all sacrifices, says Rabbi Eleazar; <:ven as it is written, ..To do Tzedakah and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice". Whoso pities che poor shall himself receive compassion from the Holy One, blessed be He. Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either he himself, or his son, or his son's son, may be brought down to the same lowly state. Nor let it enter his mind to say: ''How can I give to the poor and thus lessen my possessions)" For man must know that he is not the master of what he has, but on ly the guardian, to carry out the will of Him who entrusted these things to his keeping. Whosoever withholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself from the lust<:r of the Shekhinah and the light of the Law. Let man therefore be exceedingly diligent in the right bestowal of charity. Jacob ben A.rher, 1269-1349. �... ! M~SAGE m!!, THE HONORARY CHAilllAN The United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon should not be regarded merely as a unified fund-raising instrument that swings into operation only during the day& of its annual campaign. Throughout the year, the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is your community servant and trustworthy agent of your humanity. It performs a multitude of services. The organizations which it helps to support eqcompass a large part of the globe and include significant efforts in your behalf in the United States and in our own community of Greater Muskegon. So that you may know the sources of the funds and how they are utilized, this annual report 1s being sent to you by your Chairman, Samuel Lipman. The accomplishments or the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon during the fiscal year 1948-49 evoked high praise among the Jewish communities of the country. fice this tude task For the outstanding leadership and sacri• and devotion to the cause of humanity, community acknowledges a debt of gratiand appreciation to Samuel Lipman for a well done. PAUL M. WIENER Honorary Chairman �~ MESSAGE EEQM THE CHAIRMAN In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look back upon the years spent in the administration of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon. After four years as Treasurer, the past year as Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance of the new Jewish State. Not only do I feel that I have contributed to the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I have seen the positive results of true values; I have gained a working knowledge of religion and altruism. The success of one's undertakings brings with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed. I I ~ The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud of the role it played in the fulfillment of our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and effort. I hope and pray that those men and women who are capable of leadership will assume their responsibility and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future campaigns. I I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting time, money and effort. I'm sure all of us have benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of mankind.

Included with this report are statement of receipts and disbursements, schedules of pledges for 1948-49, unpaid pledges as at November 30, 1949 and other details. The casr on hand was checked and the bank account reconciled with a statement from the depository and found to be correct. Some pledges for 1947-48 which were not considered collectible were charged off. This report is submitted to you and your organization with my compliments, and I trust it will prove satisfactory to you. Yours very truly, WALTER A. DIXON Public Accountant C.T.C. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Walter A. Dixon is hereby gratefully acknowledged. �TENTH ANNUAL REPORT UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES OF GREATER MUSKEGON 1949-1950 HARRY A. FISHER Chairman �OUR COVER PICTURE THE ANCIE~T PROVERBS said. ''In 1imes of need. ., ma,1 u·i/1 be found to fit the deed". So it was in late 1949 when the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon was in sore need of an aggressive chairman who could carry the burden of persuading a wmmunit)' that there was a continuing job to do - a continuing burd:n to shoulder. To fill this need, a man who h:1d ,1h--ays bt:~n of a sistance to other leaders with both his means and his time, rosP to the challenge. In the face of a recession in business conditions, he was able to send a record number of dollars to the United fetl'tSh Appe,,I, thus continuing the history of advancement for which Muskegon can b~ justly proud. WE SALUTE Harry Fisher. who as Chairman, undertook and succe~sfully complet~d a tremendous task in the face of serious economic hindrances. �! MESSAGE FROM THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN It is a source of pride to the Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon that, in spite of our own local institutional needs, a nearly record amount of mcney was sent for overseas relief during this past fiscal year. In this crucial period that the infant State of Israel is facing, Greater Muskegon has exhibited a consciousness of its duty to our brethren in Israel which will be remembered long af'ter the struggle for the survival of Israel is over. Muskegon Jeury has an enviable per capita record of its generous giving, equal to, or better than any Community in the United States . Our Community acknowledges a debt of gratitude to Harry A. Fisher for his generosity and leadership during the critical fiscal year of 1949-50. PAUL M. "JIENER, Honorary Chairman �! MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN In concluding the United Jewish Charities Campaign for the year 1949- 1950, I cannot but help offer thanks to the Jewish Ccmmunity 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 Muskego11 U. J .. C. for 1949-1950, because through my work I have gained a more intimate knov,ledge of the tremendous good that the more than 90% of our local campai gn 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 under taken would have accompl ished. I s the job done? Emphatically no 1 Today, we stand at the crossr oads- -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 conti11ue to shoulder the burden of our Israeli brethren and to make additional sac=ifices so that their future, and in a sense our future , shall be secure . I could not in good conscience transfer the r eins 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.

I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's instinct and determination to be free, an event we witnessed in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has asserted its faith t ha t there is a force for freedom and for good in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world's youngest democracy sha ll not fail. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, hos affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration, a power which hos settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself. I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your efforts to help my successor. This work for t he United Jewish Charities is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can, I believe we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which hos always united our peoples. I say splendid, again, for from this power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who hos just gone into business for himself. And for your generosity, and for your overflowing hear ts, God bless you.

' t Your chairmen, and the committee that was appointed by them, have worked hard to see that the monies were collected and properly distributed. Through our affiliation with the Federated Council of Charities, of which your organization is a member, we had able advice and assistance in the disbursement of the funds. The people of our community as a whole are proving to be highly understanding in the needs of the less fortunate. This is proven by the over-whelming success of the second year's campaign, and we sincerely trust that your cooperation in the future will be as unselfish as it has been in the past. We trust that you will read this report, and scrutinize it very carefully so that you may offer criticism, if due, at our next annual meeting and dinner which will be held Monday, October llth, at 6:30 P.M. in the Russett Room at the Occidental Hotel.

PHOTOGRAPH OF OFFICERS, :OOARD AND BUil,DING COMMITTEE MEMBERS Also accompanying this letter is a picture, designated "Exhibit D11 of you, the various officers, board members, and connnittee members, whose names above mentioned are shown on this letterhead. It is :no' wish and request that one set of this material be sealed in the metal box to be encased in the corner-stone and preserved for posterity. The conception of this entire project and its execution has not been without many trials and tribulations. As a motivating individual in both conceiving and carrying out this program, and as the only one who has occupied the office of President of this organization, I p:iss on to the Jewry of Greater Muskegon the sincere hope that both the young and the yet unborn generations will find in this Jewish Center a heritage to stimulate and enrich their lives in ways spiritual, cultural, and social.

That breadth of vision made him a man of exceptional worth to his community as he freely gave of his services in civic as well as religious affairs. His opinions comn:ianded respectful attention. He recognized and accepted a responsibility for community service. Rabbi Cohen was possessed of a sense of humor-a saving grace in any individual. A man with a sense of humor is not likely to be overimpressed with his own importance. Such was the case with Rabbi Cohen.

Kaufman: I want very much to apologize for being unable to attend the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Temple B'Nai Israel. In a somewhat bizarre situation I found myself with a wedding party of 28 persons at City Hall at 6: 15 P .M., waiting for the bride and groom who appeared at 7:30 P . M. The groom, if you will recall in my phone conversation with you , was al lowed to leave a dialysis machine keeping him alive at the University of Michigan , to come home for the ceremony . (We had to interrupt the ceremony so he could take a pain pi 11 . ) I won't bother you with more details except to say I hurried them as best I could but didn't get home to a wondering wife unti. l 8 P .M . , who, along with myself, would have felt too embarrassed to then drive down and arrive an hour and 15 minutes late. All I can say i.s that I am extremely sorry it happened. I am enclosing for your information a copy of the brief remarks I would have made on behalf of the City had everything worked out as expected. To that I can only add that i.f I can be of assistance at any other ti.me, in any way, please get i.n touch. I won't let something like that happen again. Very truly yours , EJS:DS �" REMARKS REGARDING B'NAI ISRAEL TEMPLE 25th ANNIVERSARY It is indeed a pleasure for my wife and myself to be here representing the City on this very special occasion. As a community we all stand proud of the commitment this Temple represents, and we stand indebted to those who had the foresight and fortitude to build this Temple and proclaim their faith in our community 25 years ago. Not only did those leaders of 25 years ago build this Temple, they helped build a community. Today many of them are still helping and providing their leadership in that capacity. I would only add to that by stating that, 25 years hence, should those of us who are here tonight be fortunate enough to again gather to observe and celebrate 50 years of commitment, we would agai.n find Leo out in front, and we would again stand proud of the leadership that not only proclaimed their faith and built this Temple, but went on to build a better community for all . Tonight we may all stand proud of those leaders. Thank you. Edward J. Stewart, Mayor 11/3/73 �25TH ANNIVERSARY SABBATH RESPONSIVE READilU Leader; Cong: I rejoiced when they said unto me; Let us go into the house of the Lord. Lord, I love the habitation of Tey house, And the place where Thy glory dwelleth. I love Thee, 0 Lord., 'I!J3 strength, My shield and my hom of salvation., my high tower. One thing have I asked of the Lord; That will I see after: That I may dwell :in the house of the Lord All the days of my life. To behold the graciousness of the lord. And to visit ear l;r :in His Temple. 0 Lord, my God. 1 I will give thanks unto thee forever. I will sing, Yea., I will s:Lng praises unto tm Lord. We have meditated on Thy lovingkindness, 0 Lord, In the courts of the Temple. I will fill this house with My glory, And in this place will I give peace. I will now say; Peace be within Thee, Peace be within Thy walls. For the sake of the House of the Lord, our God. 1 I will seek T}v good. Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting Amen. Barechu. Et Adonai Ha-M 1Vorach Praise Ye the Lord to whom all praise is due. Baruch Adona 1 Ha-M'Vorach L'olam Vo-ed Praised be the Lord., to whom all praise is due forever and ever. �, THE PLEOOE Leader: Cong: And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.. In like manner are we gathered to renew our covenant as a Congregation in Israel. What camnon experience leads us into spiritual fellowship with God and one another? Acknowledging the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as our God, we have established this Congregation as the Symbol and Center of our corporate life as Jews. Even as God ma.de His covenant first with Abraham, so do we invoke His divine aid in this enterprise,. undertaken in His name. By what pledge do we seal this covenant? By the same pledge as did our foretathers at Sinai., making our children surety for the sincerity of our hearts and minds. We are organized to insure that they shall find here a well from 'Which they may draw inspiration for their daily life. Wha.t are some of the privileges and duties in this, our Congregation? With this aim, we engage to strive together for the advancement of our body in knowledge of our God and of His Holy Tarah; to transmit such understanding as we gain to those who sba.11 later join our ranks; to sustain the ordinances and comnandments, disciplines and doctrines of Historical Judaism and to worship God after the dictates of our Rabbis and sages. What duties do we gladly undertake as stewards of that mich God has entrusted to us? To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the synagogue edifice which houses our Congregation, and to maintain its devotional, educational, and recreational facilities as God will give us the strength and means to establish them. For the sake of our home and loved ones, what tasks do we prayerfully assume? We undertake to naintain regular hours of service; to edueate our children in the religious way of life; to seek the good of all whom our influence shall reach; to maintain the bands of union with the whole household of Israel; to ask after the peace of Jerusalem by ll!IOrking for the upbuilding of Zion. For the sake of our brethren who· are scattered all over the world# how shall we govern om-selves? We agree to rem.ember that we are part of a greater Corgregation of Israel and therefore we will recognize in deed as well as ll!IOrd, the principle that all Jews are responsible for each other. We wil.l remember each other in prayer; aid each other in siclmess and distress, and practice the ancient Mitzvah of relief and rehabilitation. We Pray that the God of our fathers keep us steadfast in this detennination and bless the work of our hands. Amen. (Congregation and Reader) Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Praised be His name whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever. �Leader: • Cong: Thus saith the Lord; the heaven is My throne, and the earth is My toot stool • What manner of house will ye build Me, and 'What shall be My rest? for all tbsse things hath My hand made. But to those men will I look, even to them that are poor, and of a contrite spirit, and that tranble at My l'm"d. We have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for Thee to dwell in forever. Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, mo lmoweth the strong am tender ties that bind us, and who understandeth the fair menories and the stirring hopes that make us one, look upon us in canpa.ssion as, with united hearts and undivided purpose, we consecrate ourselves anew to thee and Thy service. We, the people of this Congregation, do now dedicate ourselves anew to the l-A'.>rship of God in this place, so that we may help establish His kingdom on earth. For many years of fellowship with each other, for the courage which has made burdens easier to bear., for the patience which has led us through the valleys of fear and across the mountains of despair; For many years made precious by sharing common burdens., enduring common sorrows., completing common tasks and triumphing in common purposes; For many years of coming week by week to renew our friendship with God and our fellows, for hopes renewed., for hearts encouraged., for sins forgiven, for burdens lightened, for problems solved, and for visions of eternal values; We give thanks unto thee for Thou art the Lord, our God., and the God of our fathers forever and ever. In loving manory of all those whose hearts and hands have served this sanctuary; with deep grat1tude for loyal comrades in this spiritual adventure; We dedicate this solemn hour in gratefulness to Thee, for Olll' lives which are canmitted into Thy hand and for our souls which are in Thy keeping. Let us then continue our tasks as we echo the words of the prophet speaking in Thy name; I will remember Thee a.Di the affection of Thy youth I remanber my covenant with Thee, and will establish for Thee an Nerlasting covenant. Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty? Who is like unto Thee, Glorious in Holiness, Awe-inspiring., \oJOrking -wonders? Thy children acknowledged Thy sovereign power and exclaimed: The Lord shall reign forever and ever. SIIENT DEVOTION We call unto Thee., 0 Lord, out of the wordless places of our being. There are thoughts too deep for words; yearning too great for the lips to frame. But Thou knowest our thoughts before we utter them, and the yearning of our innermost self is not hidden frcm thee. May our thoughts soar unto the heights where Thy greatness dwells; ~ our yearning find fulfillment in the work of our hands. In the silence of our heart, we pray, 0 God, that Thou strengthen us by the memory of dear ones.. Let their lives continue through us, and their work find completion in our own. Thus the generations w.il1 be linked in love and in reverence; and the grandeur of man will become clearer in our sight. For those 'Who made this, our Temple, strong., -we thank Thee. For those who labor to keep it wortey of Thee., we express our gratitude. Blessed a.rt Thou O Lord, the Guardian of the hope and the Keeper of the Dream. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For if : it had been given in the land ' of Israel, Israel would . would have ·said to the nations of the world, You have no share in it; therefore the Torah was given in the wilderness, in public, for all to see in the open, and everyone who wishes to receive it, _let him come and receive it. �HUMILITY ;Thus said the Holy One, blessed be he, to Israel: My children, have I allow~d y.o u . to 'lack? · Wlia t do · I seek of y~u? ~11 · I ask.· is:: that you love · one another, .,. i and honor one another, and respect one another, and let there be found in you neither transgression nor theft nor any u gly ·thing; so that you never ·become taintedf as it is said: 11 It hath t.een told thee, 0 man, what is good ••• and to walk humbly with thy God" (Mic. --do not read: 11 W alk 6:8) humbly with thy God," but rather: uwalk humbly, and t i,y God will be with thee" M.ili'S HOUR Everyone· that humbles himself the Holy One, blessed be he, lifts up ; ;md everyone that lifts himself up the Holy One, blessed be he, humbles.

Please remember , we cannot afford to fall behind, because payments become just that much more difficult when one be - . comes delayed . To those who have not increased their pledges this year, please remember that continuation of our Temple is as dependent on you as on those who have assumed their just and. moral oblif;ation.

In the cases of those paying monthly, state ments will be sent only to those in arrears by the month . Please get your payment in by December 1 , if you are not paid up for the first two quarters .

It does not begin in the school or synagogue or the organizational meeting . It be gins in homes where Sabbath spreads its aura of sanctity and spirituality. It begins in homes where the Jewish word re~echoes, where the Jewish book is honored, and the Jewish song is heard. It begins in homes where the child sees and participates in symbols and rites that link him to a ~e ople and a culture. It begins in homes where the Jewish etching or painting and the Jewish ceremonial object are visible and eloquently, thour h silently, exercise their influence upon those who behold them . It begins in the home where into the deepest layers of a child's developing personality are woven strands of love for and devo~ion to the collective life of the Jewish community. We must reestablish the Jewish parent in his traditional role as a symbol and transmitter of Jewishne ss and r enew in the Jewish home the character and influence with which it was once endowed . We who have built Jewish communities must now set ourselves to build Jew ish lives .

RAMI AMITZ-LEv, EMISSARY FOR THE JEw ·1SH NATION FUND, TAPE A RADIO PROGRAM F'OR THE 11 CRIS 1 CORNERS 11 Y.IKJR RADIO PROGRAM HEARD LOCALLY ON SEPTEMOER 11TH. MANY PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED BY MRS. ARTHUR GREENBERG, PROGRAM CHAIRMAN OF THE DINNER, AT THIS INTERVIEW. ONE QUESTION ASKED IF IT WAS TRUE THAT THE ARABS ARE RUSHING TO HADASSAH HOSPITAL FOR TREATM~NT~ AND HOW ARE THE JE WS GOING TO bVERCOME: THEIR NATURAL FEELINGS• MR. LEV ANSWERED THAT ISRAEL DOES NOT HATE THE ARABS, AND THAT ISRAEL WANTS PEACE WITH HER NEIGHBORS AND LOOKS FORWARD TOWARDS IT~ IN A SENSE OF THE WORD, WE ARE RELATED -COUSINS. HADASSAH HOSPITAL OPENS ITS DOORS TO MANY OF THEM FOR MEDICAL CARE AND TREATMENT AND THE DOCTORS AND THE NURSES TREAT AND CARE FOR THEM AS WELL AND ARE CONSIDERATE OF THEM NOT BECAUSE IT IS THEIR DUTY, BUT IT HELPS PROMOTE GOODWILL AND AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING. REcaNTLY ISRAEL SENT BLOOD TO TuRkEY, AND WHEN ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE DONE, MR. LEV SAID THE PEOPLE OR THE ISRAELIS EXPECTED A LONG WAR, WITH HEAVY CASUALTIES, AND WERE PREPARED FOR EVERY ASPECT IN · THE EVENT IT WAS TO BE SO, AND THE BLOOD WAS MADE lNTO PLASMA AND TAKEN TO THE COUNTRY OF TURKEY• DURING THE RECENT WAR, ERIC SEVER ID, THE NOTED NEWS COMMENTATOR; REMARKED THAT ISRAEL WAS CARVED FROM ARAB LAND, AND MANY PEOPLE TOO READILY BELIEVED .THAT PROPAGANDA TO BE ACTUAL FACT. MR. LEV SAID lT WAS NOT TRUE, THAT THE ARABS NEGLECTED THE LAND Al.L THOSE GENERATIONS~ JEWS HAD ALWAYS LIVED IN THOSE VARIOUS LANDS, AND BOUGHT UP MUCH OF IT FROM THE ARAB POTENTATES PAYING VAST SUMS OF MONEY. FIFTY YEARS AGO THERE WAS NO JORDAN, SYRI.A AND IRAQ. THESE STATES WERE DIVIDED INTO THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES BY ENGLAND. THE JE ws DO NOT PUT MUCH FAITH OR CREDENCE IN THAT REMARK THAT THE COUNTRY WAS CARVED FROM ARAB LAND. ISRAEL JUST WANTS TO DEVELOP I TS OWN. 90% VIAS ESTABLISHED BY J NF WHICH BOUGHT UP THE LAND. THEY DRAINED THE SWAMPS, WIPED OUT DISEASE, . TILLED THE SOIL, AND MADE IT BLOSSOM LIKE THE ROSE. THE BALFOUR DECLARATION BY LORD BALfOUR, Nov. 2, 1917, THAT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FAVORED A NATIONAL HOME FOR THE J ~W ISH PEOPLE IN PALEST1NE, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE civ1L AND RELIGfOUS ~IGHTS OF THE EXISTING NON-JE WISH COMMUNITIES. 50% WAS IN THE NEGEV, MOSTLY DESERT, HILLY, AND SANDY• IT WAS MADE INTO AN AGRICU ~TURAL LAND, AND BEFORE THAT THE ARABS DID NOT B6THER TO CULTl~ATE OR BETTER THEIR AREAS. MRS. AUDRY CAHIL, PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN, ASKED ABOUT CAIRO RROPAGANDA, IF IT WAS TRUE THE EGYPTIAN ARABS WERE TAUGHT AND TRAINED TO SLAUGHTER THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ESPECIALLY, AND THAT NONE SHOULD OE SPARED. THERE WAS MORE AT STAKE THAN MASS MURDER. IT WAS TRUE, AND MOST OF THESE .MANY STORIE S \VERE BEAMED TO THE BACK WOODS TYPES OF PEOPLE L·IVING IN IGNORANCE, FILTH, POVERTY, AND DISEASE, UNABLE TO READ OR TO WRITE IN ORDER TO DIVERT THEIR ATTENTION FROM THEIR OWN SQUALID SURROU NDINGS AND CO NDITIONS. THE MORE ENLIGHTENED AND INTELLIGENT 'ONES MERELY SCOFFED IN DERISION AND CONTEMPT. IT WAS A GOOD JOB OF 11 BRAINWASHING 11 TO BORROW A TRITE EXPRESSIO N. ISRAEL KNE W OF THIS TYPE OF WARFARE AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS, AND FOUGHT ALL THE HARDER FOR THEIR LIVES, THEIR HOMES, FAMILIES AND LAND. IF POSITIO NS WERE REVERSED, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE ·I SRAELe THE PLIGHT OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS WAS DISCUSSED SOMEWHAT. IN THE LAST YEARS OF THE STALIN ERA AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HIS DEMISE, THE CONDITION OF THE JE WS IS AND WAS ~Ul~E FORMIDABLE. MANY WANTED TO LEAVE RUSSIA AND MIGRATE TO ISRAEL, BUT WERE FORBIDDEN SINCE THEY WERE NEEDED IN THE ECONOMY OF RUSSIA, BUT WERE NOT ALLO WED TO PRACTIVE THEIR RE.LlGIONe MUCH COMMUNIST INDOCTRINATION IMBUED BY RUSSIAN AGENTS TRY TO DISCOURAGE THEIR LONGING TO LEAVE BY PREACHING ANTI-ZIONISM. THE PROBLEM OF JUVENILE DELIQUENCY WAS OROSHED UPON. THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY IN ISRAEL AS COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND THE U.S. TRUE, THERE ARE SOME UPRISINGS, BUT SO MINOR AS TO BE INFINITESIMAL. THERE IS MUCH STRESS PLACED ON FAMILY LIFE, AND THE PEOPLE ARE TOO OCCUPIED WITH THE SO-CALLED INSTINCT OF SELF-PRESERVATION OF THEIR COUNTRY. MANY OF THE NEW IMMIGRANTS COMING IN BRING THEIR MANY PRO BLEMS WITH THEM AND THEY CAN BE IRONED our. THE NE W GENERATIONS ENTER THE ARMED FORCES, WHICH IS THE BEST SCHOOL FOR THIS TYPE OF UNDERSTANDING. IF ONE DOES NOT KNO W THE LA NGUAGE, HE IS TAUGHT SI NCE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF KNOWI NG A COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE. THE BACKWARD ARABS LlVING IN WHAT WAS THE JORDAN SECTOR DID ADHERE TO THE OLD WAYS AND CUSTOMS BY WEARING THE VEILS, AND CLINGING TO THEIR BELIEFS. SINCE THEY HAVE BEE N EXPOSED TO WESTER N OR EuO PEAN CULTURES, THEY MORE OR LESS HAVE ACCEPTED CHANGE AND DRESS TO CONFORM TO THE NEWER CO NCEPTS• MR. LEV SAID THERE ARE, HOWEVER, NO 11 MINl 11 SK IRTS. �ASKED CONCERNING ECONOMIC CO NDITIONS IN ISRAEL, MR. LEV REPLIED BRIEFLY THAT WE ARE BECOMING FAMOUS AS A f"ASHION CENTER, CREATING OUR OWN UNIQUE DESIGNS AND IMPORTING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. THE WAR - iiAS-- INCREASED THE ECO NOMIC PR-O~BLEMS Of' THE ARABS TOO, WHO WERE PART OF THE FORMER V!EST BANK. THEY ARE ·UNABLE T:O ASSUME RESPONSIBLE JOBS, SINCE THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED TO ACCEPT OTHER n'-PES ;Of' WORK BUT .ONLY MEN I AL TASKS. t ISRAEL IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE COMMON MARKET, BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE THEI.R NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, GREECE, SINCE THAT COUNTRY HAS MORE PURCHASING POWER. IT IS HARD FOR ISRAEL, SINCE IT HAS TO IMPORT ,MUCH OF ITS ·NEEDS, AND LAC~$ NATURAL RESOURCES. IT WANTS TO BE A JEWISH STATE, AND WANTS ITS OWN PEOPLE TO COME ·AND LIVE THERE, BRINGING ITS MANY SKILLS ALO NG. IT MUST IMPORT MOST OF ITS RAW MATERIAL$• IT DOES EXPORT FRUITS THOUGH .- ORANGES BE I NG ONE OF THE BEST• MOST .Of' THE MONEY G9ES INTO MAINTAING ITS ARMY FOR SECURITY REASONS, AND WEAPONS COST A FORTUNE. THE I s'RAEL I ARABS AND THE WEST BANK . ARABS LIV I NG IN A LITTLE VILLAGE NEAR JERUSALEM, SEE THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS OF LIVING, AND ISRAEL WILL HE~P ALLEVIATE THEIR - PLIGHT, BY PAYING · FOR THEIR CARE, EDUCATION AND WELFARE. HERE HADASSAH HAS PLAYED AND IS CONTINUING TO PLAY A MORE IMPORTANT PART IN FOSTERING BETTER UNDERSTANDING. THERE IS SOME JEALOUSY IN THAT THE ARAB SOLDIERS SEE THEIR OWN PARCHED LAND, RICH IN LITTLE OR NOTHING BUT POISONED, EMPTY TALK, AND THEN SEE THE RICH, FERTILE, GREEN LANDS WHICH ISRAEL 1 S KNOWLEDGE AND HARD WORK HAVE MADE INTO AVERTIBLE "GARDEN or EDEN". MRS. CAHIL ASKED THE QUESTION, VOICED WHAT SO MANY HAVE WANTED TO KNOW: 11 WHAT BRINGS TH~SE POEPLE TOGETHER IN UNITY~ STRENGTH, AND SUCH PURPOSE ? FIRST, MR. LEV REPLIED THAT IT IS OUR HI STORY, AND OUR LOVE OF THE COUNTRY MADE DEEPER BY THE MEMOR I.ES OF PAST WARS, AND THAT AT LONG .LAST WE HAVE BEEN GATHERED UNTO OUR OWN~ OUR HEARTFELT SYMPATHY ·10 REEVA LEVY AND HER FAMILY UPON THE R.ECENT PASSING OF HER HUSBAND, REUBEN• THOUGH DEATH HAS SUMMONED REUOEN, MAY HIS 1MAGE STILL LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE DEAREST TO HIM AND CONTINUE TO BE AN INSPIRATION - A LIVING FOUNTAIN WHENCE AL~ HEALING fLO ws. OUR HEARTIEST CONGRATULATION TO BETTY BROUTMAN UPON HER. RECENT MARRIAGE. MAY THEY BE BLESSED WITH MANY GOOD THING~ AND MUCH HAPPINESS, AND A LONG LIFE TOGETHER.

Indeed I am highly honored by this lofty token of appreciation by our C0 ngrogation for my humble services, and I cherish this holy gift above any I have ever received. iach of the seven volumes has been thoughtfully inscribed by Rabbi hosenberg with appropriate Talmudic quations and personal tributes which I prize and for which I am most thankful.

On this stage we see a great pageant of life beillg enacted all around us---a kaleidoscope of people, color, purposes, scenes---one act or fascet terminating, another beginning, yet all woven into one great tapestry---creation, story, and play. Hadassah is profoundly concerned with survival of our people and is committed to a dynamic program of education and guidance. Our youth is the indispensable link to the future.

He smite-th in righteousness and justice and healeth in mercy and lovingkindness. No crafty device can be concealed from Him, for naught is hidden from His sight.
