They were eager to express how moving, challenging and dramatic was the God-Man dialogue which presented many social issues of our day. All of us present for the Interfaith Service were quite disappointed. We were very sad that more of our Congregation did not have the opportunity or create the opportunity to attend this most important function of the Temple and Sisterhood. It is not, we felt, that we must make a showing for our non-Jewish guests. But that the key to Interfaith, as I have stated in my previous article, is how committed we are to our o,m Judaism and how much~ as Jews think of it in the presence of our non-Jewish friends. Our attendance last Friday night as a Congregation was below expectation and certainly, I am sure, did not intend to convey any weakness on our part in our Faith. Rena and I appreciate all the compliments we received concerning the God-Man Dialogue "To Do Justice." One of my greatest joys was to have worked with my dear wife in writing and presenting tpis drama of our times.

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

Not only is it gratifying to see so many take advantage of the opportunity to study, but it is even more gratifying to note the progress that is being made by the respective groups in their respective courses. We look forward to the day wh en our curriculum will expand through the demand of many more of our members and friends who will want additional cr- ur;,es. Om· beautiful Temple has the facilities. What we need now is the will and enthusiasm to use these faciliti es for e nri chi ng ourselves spiritually. OUR HEBREW SCHOOL Our Hebrew School is progressing from week to week. The children are learning more and more. If our Temple did nothing else but support a school where our children could acquire a Hebrew education, its existence were justified. Thanks to our leaders for their vision and cooperation in making it possible for our c hildren to study their religion and the language in which the greatest Book was written-the Hebrew language. Parents who would like to have their children join our Hebrew School, are urged to register them now for next September. ---- OP E N SCHOOL WEEK Sunday, March 6, Monday, March 7, and Wednsday, March 9, our Sunday and Hebrew Schools will be open to the parents. At this time the parents will have an opportunity to see what their children are studying, and how they are doing in the respective schools. All parents, who have children attending our schools, are urged to make a special effort and visit the schools on the above given dates. Let the children see that their parents are interested in their studies. ---o--THE YOUNG PEOPLE 'S LEAGUE The dance held on January 8, by the Young People's League, proved to be a huge success. The large turnout and the enthusiastic spirit evinced by the young folks at this affair. showed that more of rnch gatherings are needed. According to Herbert Fisher, head of the League, several similar socials are planned. For the delectation and edification of the Temple membership at large, a series of forums, lectures, and concerts are being arranged to be given by top speakers and entertainers selected from the fine st agencies throughout the country. The first evening of entertainment will be given toward the end of F e bruary. All the details and information pertaining to this program will be given through the mail. ' The Young People's League is marching forward. Let us all go forward with the League. ---- BULLETIN NEWS If there is anything of imnortance and interest to the community a Temple me'Ylber would like to have published in th e ·'· Temple Bulletin, the article should be. ,· sent to the Temple not later than the 20th' ·· of the month, and addressed to Eug-ene Fisher, editor. If th e article is fit to print it will be printed. . · �FRIDAY NIGHT A T T HE TEMPLE Muskegon has nothing more beautiful, more inspiring, more educational, more uplifting to offer to its Jews than the Service at the Temple on Friday night, and the Oneg Shabat following the Service. Friday night at the Temple, one has an opportunity to m eet his fellow Jew, to meet with the Rabbi, to indulge in di scussion, which usually reaches high levels of thought. Prayer, round-table discussion, tea and cake, meeting with friends and singing is the order of the evening. Where in Muskegon can such a pleasant evening be duplicated? Those who come to the T emµl e on Friday nights know how rewarding it is. Those, who as yet hav e not visited the Temple on this great evening, are invited to come. We need each other for m ental stimulation and social enjoyment. ---o--- OUR LIBRARY With children growing up in our community, studying in our Sunday and Hebrew &hoots, and Adults taking courses during the year in our Temple, a wellequipped Library is of first impo1·tance. Books are tools. A library is a workshou. A workshop without tools is useless. We have the workshop, but we need the tools. It is very important that the shelves of our library are lined with the proper books. All donations of books for our library, and all monevs for books for our library, are to go to Fre d Rodoff, who is in charge of the library. ---0--SISTERHOOD The needs of Sisterhood this year ar e much more than in previous years. Our 8undav School is much larger than it has been in the past. More supplies are required in the form of books and other equipm ent. Then there is the Hebrew School, an addition to be reckoned with. It takes funds to run a sc hool proner'.y. To m eet the required budget. Mrs. Harry S. Berman, Sist erhood president, organ ized a number of projects and divid ed un her m embership into ci1,cles. each circl e working on a fund-raising project. It is hoped that every circle will do its share, and that every member in the circle will not relax until the work is don e. With each circle fulfilling each obligation, and every member of Sisterhood lending :>. hand , Si sterhood will m eet its budget. WE PRAY W e pray that Almighty God se nd a sneedv recovery to all our m ember who ai·e indi sposed. OUR TEMPLE Our Temple aims, through its varied program, t o promote understanding, neighborliness, fellowship, and harmony, without which there is no unity or co- _ operation. Our Temple serves as a community center, by providing a meeting place for all groups of a civic or cultural nature. Our Temple helps the community to sound adion on Jewi,;h issues, by providing knowle dge and understanding of the Jewish scene, which is essential to intelligent participation in Jewish Causes. Our T empl e serves the Jewish Community in inter-cultural a nd civic relationships, in the Council of Social Agencies, in educational and civic bodies, thereby interpreting the Jew to the non-Jew, and helping the J ewish community to make a contribution to the civic, social, and cultural life of the community. Our Temple lends dignity to a Jewish life, and is a so urce of justifiable pride to every Jew. For every Jew, member of the Temple or not. shares in the respect paid by the community to the Temple as :>. community asset. · Our Temple serves the community by training democratic leadership. It serves the commuity by being communityminded. It supports community planning in the Jewish and general community, therby helping to build a healthy, progressive, community life. Finally, our Temple serves the community by creating a Jewish atmosphere, by building Jewish consciousness and Jewish loyalties, thus creating the conditions for meaningful living. Our Temple is a Beth Am-House of t he People. "SEPARATE NOT THYSELF FROM THE COMMUNITY.

Sincerely, Ma rv C. Wi ' lson (Mrs. David S. Willson) �"THIS TIME WE'LL DO IT" JEWISH LEADE RS PLEDGE A T U. J. A . CON F ER E NCE In two historic days of co nf erence in Atlantic City, American Jewish leadersh ip assessed and assum·ed . its responsibility for the coming months toward Israel and toward the surviving J ews of E.1:n1ope. The delegates, ga.thered in record attenda nce at the Chelsea Hotel, January- 12 and. 13, and representing lhe Jewish leaders hi p of co mmunities : in practically e ·, ery stat e of the natio !], in a series of sessions that went from business-like ana lysis of budgets to peaks of emotional 0xaltltion, came away determin ed that in the year 1949 the DP camps must be emptied and Israel strength ened. To thi 3 end the delegates adop~ed a resolution calling for a national United J ewish Appeal goal of a minimum '.o f $25 0,000,000 in 1949. The sense of the discussion was that although American J ews had responded magnificently in 1948 in making available more than $150,000,000 for t he n ee ris of the UJA agencies, they harl not r eac hed the full amount of the established goal for the year, aI;}d the goal for 1949 .was adopted with the feeling that the J ewish eom munity w~s g iving itself another chance at the moment of greatest opportunity in Jewish h\story, and that t his time "we s hall really do it." ---o--EDW ARD M. M. WARBURG : "WE CAN SOL VE IT T HIS Y E AR" The Conference was brought to a close with one of the most moving addresses ever made by Edward M. .M. Warburg, and his eloquent sincerity has already become lege nd throughout the country. "Sure, we came arirl said one time giving three years ago," he declared. "Again we upped it and again we upped it, and people are getting- tired. I have to go out and ask people for money; I know. Rut at the sa me time we never had a campaign with this kind of stor:y to tell. Thi s isn't a question of dreams. Thi s isn't a question of theories. This isn't a question of hope. This is a question of fact. We can s olve it this y ear . . . . "What w e have bee n talki ng about her e for the past two days is the simple fact t hat everything is ready_ every thing is in motion, everything- is organized for th~ liquidation of the DP problem. All that is needed is that the American J ewish co mmunity does not slacken its efforts. "This is one of the most fantastic phe nomena of human engineering that hav e ever occurred. You are a oartner in it. You are an architect of the future. Let uo try to build so m ething that we are · proud of to leave to our children." ZIONIST MEM B ERSHIP . Dr. Abba Hillel Silver has -appealed to , Amei'ican Jews to join the Zioni st Organization. H e . stated '.' We must remain m obilized and aler ted because it is the last battle, the d ecisi v·e battle. You may score ma.ny a victory in a war: If you lose the last battle, you lose the war. There is still great n eed for political effort on the part of America. In connection with that, I shoula like to say, taking th e larger perspec tiv e of the problem, that Israel will r e quire Zionist support in America for a generation to come-I say Zionist support, not merely Jewi sh support. Mark my words and make a note of it!" ·---0--- IS THERE POLITICA L RE LATIONSHI P BETWEEN ISRAEL AND AMERICAN JE W S? None whatsoever. American J ewry owes allegiance solely and unequivocally to the United States. American democracy d oes not demand, however, that citizens relin quish their cultural, sentimental or sp ir:t:U:al a ssociati ons with other lands. Iri sh Amer'i-cans publicly di splay their emotional attachment to the Iris h Free S tate; Italian Americans tak e an active int er est in Italian conditions; other groups, to o, whose loya lty to this country is not questin e d, cherish the culture and heri tage of the lands of their ancestors.

Mr. B. Sanford Clark, guest preacher Pastor of the Community Church, North Muskegon Friday evening, February 28th "Thieves in the Night 11 by Arthur Koestler Book Review * * * FRIDAY NIGHT IS SYNAGOGUE NIGHT 8:15 o'clock * * * No. 7 �BROTHERHOOD - PA'l'TERN FOR PEACE Almost every week of the year ls now set aside for some kind of observance; we have National Fire Prevention Week, Conmrunity Fund Week, Book Week, Music Week and many others. This week, however, is exceptional, for it is American Brotherhood Week, a week dedicated to better understanding and appreciation among the American people. With the sanction of President Truman, America. joins in the celebration of Brotherhood Week. 11 The good world of the future," says the President, "must be built on the recognition of the dignity and rights of each individual, whatever his race, creed or national background. Let us live, believe and support Brotherhood." Our congregation will have as guest preacher this Friday evening, the Reverend Mr. B. Sanford Clark, pastor of the Community Church of North Muskegon. The title of his sermon will be "Living in Harmony." It will be recalled that Rabbi Satlow spoke last year at Mr. Clark's church, and that many of our members were present at the time. We know that you will be anxious to receive the message from th~ Reverend Mr. Clark, and to greet him after the Service. THIEVES IN THE NIGHT The aftermath of this war as brought unrest and upheaval to many parts of tte world. Men are confused and are in search of a positive answer to the problems of life. The trend in literature today is evidence of this quest for certainty, through mysticism and religion. Such books as "The Razor's Edge", "The Song of Bernadette", ••wasteland", and "Peace of Mind", are only a few that attest to the restlessness of our age. In Palestine, that much contested tiny corner of the globe, some of our brethren in trying to find their solution, have lost faith in persuasion and have become converts to the use of force. "Thieves in the Night" by .t,rthur Koestler has been a consistent best seller for many weeks. It is the exciting story of a group of young colonists in Palestine . From start to finish it grips the imagination of the reader as it states the case of salvation through violence. Rabbi Satlow will review this book from the pulpit next Friday evening, February 28th . Welcome to Mr.Leon Gross, formerly of France and Switzerland. May you find peace and happiness in America ! �TENPLE LIBRARY ~ are happy to announce that we have already secured a substantial number of books for our New Temple Library.

For many years &'1Q not very long a go, we J ews Here solicitin 6 acce) tance and status from non, Je,,s in America by staging 11 me-too 11 programs a.rid services with our Chri st" ian clergy and laymen. He learned--and very recently--that such s:_Jecta cl• .: -,,-ere one-sided affairs, because they were compulsive exercises which had only a limited meaning, and only for us. Today, we can observe this Season in a much more realistic manner. Interfaith means inner-fa ith, that every involved group should strengthen its o,m religious understanding. Then from this greater depth, each joins with its neigfu or to solicit the improved uelfare of the cornmuni ty in which all cf tnem live. Any other reason for Brotherhood creates raucous and unconvincing "hallelujas" and 11 Hail Brothers! Personal, vibrant examples on the part of individuals and groups still are the best teachers. Thus it is that s elf-education and mutual-education are the theme of our current interfaith pro grs.ms. Sisterhood I s "Cri ticiue of Social Action 11 in our Community and the Temple's "Comparative Religion" series seek to have many groups and i ndividuals come together to study in depth and to unclersto.nd in breadth our mutual problems and hopes, and then to work together, each ac:.ding its or his o,m genius ,toward improving the condition and affairs of humanity . On Purim Our People believes that the Story of Purim is the Story of the Jew. But how can this be, seeing that ofttimes our People were not delivered'! It is our tradition that we have clung tenaciously-some say, stubbornly-to the Biblical hope that "deliverance and salvation will arise to the ' Jews." Our Faith rejected pessimism. The riore unbearable life became, the more cevtain wa s God 's faithfulness to bring relief . The greater t he Ha.mans, the greater t he Hordecais and Esthers!! Many of us are convinced that Judaism is a religion of mourning for the past and wailing for a Paradise Lost. But all should know that our People rather look to 11 the end of days 11 for the Messianic Era. Our religion is not a :i:,osture of weeping but, a s Purim so magnificently bespeaks, a victory over life which wrings joy from sorrow. The tearing agony of the six million is becoming now the realization and the interpretation that we suffered such a great loss only because we Jews stand for everything which is set against tyranny, a gainst injustice and against human degradation. The spiritual and religious survival of our People depends on such interpretations of human history and experience as our Purim story enshrines. Thus as Jews we are to sing praises to God, enjoy the Sabbath and festivals, greet every man with a cheerful countenance, worship the Lord with beauty and holiness . �C A L E iJ D A R FEBRUARY T E MP L E F A MI L Y 26th Sunday YAHRZEITS Religious School - 10-12:15 AM Rose Jacobs, mother of Mr. Meyer Confirmation Class 1-3 PM J a cobs, February 28 with Rabbi TYtt Ele·c t ions (Temple) 7- 9 PM Liliam Smith, wife of Eli Smith, 27t h Monday , . mother of Mrs. Morris Levine, Heb .

May recovery. God bless you all. Mrs. Ida Ashendorf �RABBI TO YOU We are approaching- the season usually dedicated to Brotherhood and Interfaith. In my mind, it begins with Lincoln's Birthday and continues through National Brotherhood Week which begins on Washington's Birthday. For many years and not very long ago, we Jews were soliciting acceptance and status from non-Jews in America by staging "me-too" programs and services with our Christian clergy and laymen. We learnedand very recently--that such spectacles were one-sided affairs, because they were_ compulsive exercises which h.~d- only n limited meaning, and only for us. Today, we can observe this Season in a much more realistic manner. Interfaith means inner-faith, that every involved group should strengthen its own religious understanding. Then from this greater depth, each joins with its neighbor to solicit the improved welfare of the community in which all of them live. Any other reason for Brotherhood creates raucous and unconvincing''hallelujas"and ''Hail Brothers!' Personal, vibrant examples on the part of individuals and groups still are the best teachers. Along these lines of humanity therefore we h.~ve made plans for this month. Our plans are simple yet profound, and they direct themselves to all segments of our general community. It is only incidental that this Temple or that Church plans and executes Interfaith and Interracial meetings. It is not incidental that the purpose is human dignity and self-respect,rather than status and acceptance on a "me-tooism" bo.sis. our two programs, to which I would call your attention, is the Sisterhood Interfaith Worship in which we would dramatize common needs · of our community and the B 1nai Brith Citizenship Award Banquet which honors one who is a living example of humanity and who has striven most magnificently to fulfill those hwnnn nnd social needs of our community.

The attempt today among our p eople to define "Jewishnes ::; 11 usually ends up with s ome indef :L""lable qua litie s or a stro;.1omical (1_u an tities . It is said to be either some kind of mystical trait •r1hich guarantees survival, or some record of lon gevity , or the origrl.nal discovery of God in man I s histo~J, or the amount of Kosher food consumed. What the true nature of "Jewishness" a ctually is c1;1n be seen in the life and work of Moses, our Teacher, in his creating a plan of living to help his peo~Jle, and even all mank ind. This Plan is life' s basic Const itution .for comruuna l existence; it is called the Torah of Mos es, which is the first part of our Bi'..J l e . It is the lfosa ic strivin g to develop i de a s of com.'Iluni ty for the welfare of man which make the other Sons of our People--Jesus , r1arx a11c'. Freud--kin to Hosas. But the questions of whether or not the sii-riilarity ends there, or of whether or not their ideas and programs actually have or will help man, a.11 will be discussed and confronted in sermons to come. Mos es s tands alone as the Founder and Cr 3ator of our essence and genius a s Je,rs. Hhe.t was this e s sence and ge:c1ius? A:n.d what can it be? Mo s es' prograin for communal living was "help ful" to man sinply because it E1atched Reality, b e cause it wa s in tune with human nature and ne sds. The "different-ness" of Jewi s hness , of our Religion and Faith lies wholly in its sensiblen ess . Here we have t he elusive definition: Jewishne s s i s sen s i bl eness in a world of nonsense. / To Mo s e s , it made sen se to worship the One God , indivisible and invisible, zealous for the mora l law, faithful in Hi s covenents . It made sen s e that man was created in the image of such a God . It was non-sense that man ~m s created in the i mage of t he products of hi s o-,m craft sme..n s hip; i t was ~on '.~ ense that man s hould worship himself; it wa s nonsense t ha t man should t hb k the material world to be Reo.lity rather t han the S>)iritual-moral-rationa l v orld . Ivio s es thou ght it n onsense that man should toil endlessly, t hat t he r e s houl<l be an unending grasp ing of powe r and waalth. To him it wa s san s ible to ha ve one Da y of Freed.0 1;1 f or every man , a pr eview of t h0 World. to Come . He knew that : t h-'. J s ~tibccth (~ r ont -Ds C!.ild k e ep s man free . As for Sl a ve s, our Teacher knew that it was utte r n on- sen se to own a s oul as a 11 t hi..11 g 11 and t hus to ensl a ve what God ha s created ancl de stroy a :man I s fu ture . Ra th'3r } he t au ght : "If your brothe r sells hims :') lf to you b e cause he mu st r epay a lar ge debt or becau s e he 1:mst save hi..TJ1s s-lf and his f amily from sta rva tion and ruin, - t h ,m in the s ,:w enth year y ou must set him fre e ns a Fr ee Man and you 811st give him frOl~ the abundance with which God has bl c i, s ,3d you so that he may begin an ew a ga in."

As young as they are, they already realize how important it is for Jewish children living in 2. land of freedom to help other children in a less fortunate position. We are thus training them for their future leadership and responsibilities. In celebration of Cham.isho Osor, a number of our students will buy certificates for the planting of trees in Palestine. They are hopeful of achieving the goal of $100.00 to entitle our Religious School to have its name inscribed in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund. · DREAMTREES Ori barren hills we plant the slip Who shall not · taste 'the tree, The lengthening root, the ·ripening · fruit We may not hope to see.

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

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

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

When I was permitted to leave the camp, I decided to look for my parents. I wandered the face of the e;arth. I found. them not. With my loneliness, [ reached Palestme. Every door that I knocked at opened wide to me, and when I enquir ed of the good people whether they we-r e my parents each man 11Jnd woman volunteered to be my father and my mother. My search ended with one thoug~t. Palestine _is my home. The people of Palestme-my family. Every man in Palestine is J?Y father and every woman-my mother. No 1~ was not easy to adjust my thinking and my hfe for the future. Even now my adjustment is not compl~te. For Y:OU know, as good as things are, there 1s no ,s ubstitute for a father, no substitute for a mother. Besides, look at my background. Loo½: at the way I was brought up among hopele~s, cnpp~e,,d, diseased, disiplaced so uls. There 1s one thmg though, that is in my favor. I '.1m young. I have hope. In Palestine everybody 1s full of hope. We all hope that in Palestine we shall grow, prosper, live, a free life, a freedom unkno~n to any Jew anywhere in the world. And yet, with all our hope _ there is a f ear that takes ~o.ld of us from time to time. W e often ask, is ,h!s home real.ly ours? It is so weak yet, so friendless. Will. our uncles in America continue to help us? or will they forsake u s in this hour of great need. Sc, that thousands of children like myself can face life and grow up unafraid, we '1:eed the encouragement of our American relat.1ves. Maybe if I didn't have this f ear I'd feel hke ;your son at the age of 10 or 12. You my r e.lahves, can help me to a normal life. Thi~k o·f me and thousands like me and all that we went th~·ough. Then think of yourself and your own ch1l~ren. Stand up and give as a·n expression of gratitude to our God, that you and your sons were spared our experiences and that of our parents. But for th~ grace of God, it could have been your son lookmg for his parents.

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

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

It depicted Bob Scolnik presenting Abie Ashendorf with a UJA certificate of achievement. The editor apologizes for the mistake. Ted Solotaroff, an editor at Harper & Row, thalked about Philip Roth, especially the second chapter of his recent book The Counter life. Roth's Israeli character says, "In the Diaspora a Jew like you lives securely, while we are living just the kind of imperiled existence that we came here to replace ••. We are th e excited, ghettoized, jittery Jews of the Diaspora, and you are the Jews with all the confidence and cul ti va tion that comes of feeling at home where you are."

Just after the elections, both the Likud bloc and the Labor Party tried to win Orthodox support to enable one or the other to form a ruling coalition. But the price the Orthodox par· ties tried to exact has driven Labor and Li· kud back into talks aimed at forming an· other "national unity" government, which would eliminate the need to include the re· ligious parties. · What the Orthodox parties are seeking is an Israel that acknowledges only Ortho· dox· religious conversions, that limits abor· lions, gives more funds to religious institutions and shuts down sports events and ·movies on the Sabbath.

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

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

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