Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Pentecost Sunday, May 22, 1994 Transcription of the spoken sermon "... a mighty wind (Spirit) that swept over the surface of the waters." Genesis 1:2 “I will put my breath (wind, spirit) in you and you shall live." Ezekiel 37:5 "The wind blows where it wills; you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So with everyone who is born from Spirit.” John 3:8   I have a very simple but a very wonderful word to share with you today on this Pentecost Sunday. I want to say to you that the breath of God is the life of the world. You've been around with me long enough to know that "the breath of God" is simply another way of saying "the spirit of God" or "the wind of God." For the Hebrew word Ruach means "spirit" or "wind" or "breath". In the Hebrew it has that enlivening, energizing vitality about it: the wind as a tempest, the wind as moving power, the wind as energy. It was the Ruach of God in the story of creation that shaped the cosmos. As we said earlier today at the baptismal font, it was the breath of God moving through the chaos, bringing creation to its fullness. It was the Ruach of God that caused Israel to have hope in its exile, the Ruach of God which caused the dry bones to come together in that vision of Ezekiel, that vision which spoke in metaphor of God's promise that that exiled people would come to life again. Then resurrection so to speak, would be through the Ruach of God. It was the Ruach of God or the breath of God that breathed, which blew through Mary and caused the Word to take on flesh and to dwell among us. And on the day of Pentecost that Ruach, spirit wind of God, rushed through that early community of the followers of Jesus turning them inside out and sending them out into the world. The unfortunate thing for us is that the Hebrew word Ruach that had about it this energy and vitality was translated into the Latin vispiritus, and into English by the word spirit. And for us, the word spirit is intangible. It's invisible. It's kind of ghostlike. In fact, the German translation is gist and we even speak in an older form of the Apostles Creed of the Holy Ghost. So there is something spooky about it, something intangible about it – quite the opposite of the imagery of the Hebrew word Ruach. © Grand Valley State University   �The Breath of God–The Life of the World Richard A. Rhem Page 2   What I want to say to you this morning is that it is that breath of God or that wind of God that gives life to the world, to all that is. Psalm One Hundred and Four, I said, is such a beautiful poem because it makes that point that every living thing – snails, and worms, and grubs, and birds, and the animals of the field, and the trees of the forest, and the meadows, and the skies, and the seas, and ourselves – is alive with the life of God! It seems that in the modern age, since the Enlightenment, with all of the past accomplishments of the natural scientists and the explosion of technology, there has come into our lives a compartmentalization, a division, so that we do this on Sunday and then go out to the rest of the week to do our lives where life really is. Others have no moment like this hour of worship, because life for them is lived altogether outside the sanctuary, and they're getting along just fine. Human powers, human ingenuity, technology, scientific experiment, production, the corporate world, all of that going on without any reference to God. There we live a profane life. Profane means, literally, outside the temple. We come into the temple, then we speak of the sacred. And to this day in life, there has been that distinction between the sacred and the profane. What I want to say to you this morning is that the celebration of the sacred, such as we do today, is in order to recognize the sacredness of the whole of life. But what has happened in our modern western civilization, western culture, is that the vast majority of our brothers and sisters live a purely secular life without any reference, without any recognition that it is the breathing of God that keeps all things in being. Someone from the outside could say to me, "We don't need God. That's just a hypothesis. The world is just a phenomenon that's there. It's just an accident the way things have developed. We can live purely out of our own resources." And I have to answer that is as reasonable as what I am claiming. But I'm claiming the opposite. I'm claiming that everything that is, is because God keeps breathing. As the Psalmist said, "God withholds God's breath and they wither and return to the dust. God breathes and they are created and renewed." That goes not simply for some spiritual realm of our human experience, but that goes for our bodies. That goes for our physical universe, our natural world, for the totality of reality. It is all God-breathed, moment-by-moment incessantly. God holds all things together. And we live and we celebrate and we can delight in the totality of it because it is all a consequence of the breath of God. On this Pentecost hear me say that I believe the breath of God is the life of the world. I had an experience recently on a beautiful morning, much like this morning. I had to go into Grand Rapids for breakfast. I came down Route 45 to Allendale, to Eastmanville, and then took Leonard Road into Grand Rapids. And if you haven't taken that route recently, do it again. It courses through valleys. There are wonderful green hills. That day the trees were coming out in marvelous blossom. © Grand Valley State University �The Breath of God–The Life of the World Richard A. Rhem Page 3   There were jonquils and farmyards. There were cattle staring at me with those large eyes. And because it was still cool at that hour, their breath was causing a bit of a vapor, almost a kind of mystical something in that morning light. It was a brilliant, shining morning. I had my sunroof open. The fresh air came in. After the long Michigan winter, I said, "Dear God this is it! Spring has come!" And when I began to tell somebody about it, I said, "It was almost a spiritual experience", when as a matter fact it was precisely a spiritual experience. It was exactly a religious experience because a spiritual or religious experience is simply the experience of the world in the conscious awareness of the breathing of God that makes it all possible and invites us to delight in it. I had another experience, not too long ago while I was on vacation. It was Sunday afternoon, on a Florida intercostal down in Marco Island. It was a ramshackle, broken-down, old, beat-up tavern scene, the kind of place where you find yourself a small table under a little thatched palm roof to keep out of the sun. Tied up to the nearby docks people were eating brats and hot dogs and there was a musical group (though not nearly as good as the Weideman family but with a certain similarity!) and the people washing down excessive numbers of brats and hot dogs with excessive liquids of various kinds. They had tied their boats together,"rafting" out from one another as it's called. I looked at that scene and I said to myself, "Dear God, in the church, we are missing it. We few Christians coming together decrying the worldliness of the world and the unspirituality of people. We are growing smaller and smaller, and it's getting tougher and tougher, and we have to shout louder and louder, and run faster and faster. And I thought, "We're missing it." What we ought to do is not simply invite people next weekend to come "casually" (for a casual Sunday) into the sanctuary, What we ought to do is all go to the shores of Lake Michigan somewhere and have a "kegger", and some hot dogs, and a hot band. Then at some point, give me just ten minutes. Give me just ten minutes for me to tell them that all of this sand dune, and sky, and sea, and the wonder of the world is all there to be enjoyed and be delighted in because God keeps breathing. It isn't an accident. It can't be taken for granted. It ought not to be presumed upon. We don't need to retreat to the temple to feel God's breath! If only we are aware, in that moment, that all that surrounds us is enlivened by God! A moment of awareness, that's what prayer is. A moment of attention, that's what prayer is. Attention and awareness to the breathing of God in a jonquil, in a tulip, in the forsythia, in sand, in sky, in food and friends. It should cause us to wonder and worship because the breath of God is the life of the world. Rather than living out in the world by my wits as best I can and sneaking into church on the weekend to be refueled, I ought to come here to this sanctuary to do sacred things, in sacred space, in order to go out and to see that all of space, and all of life and all of its lusty delight is the gift of God who keeps breathing, and breathing, energizing, vitalizing, enlivening us to be fully human, all to the glory of God. Isn't that wonderful? © Grand Valley State University � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/640a377c649abf2ce6f0b5604e5e2fd1.mp3 ee1cc2466376609b228ebb9c2644017a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Gilbert Photographs Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gilbert, Douglas R., 1942-2023 Description An account of the resource Photographs scanned from negatives and transparencies from the Douglas R. Gilbert papers (RHC-183). Douglas R. Gilbert (b. 1942) is an American photographer from Michigan. He was born in Holland, Michigan and is the son of Russell W. and Carmen (Andree) Gilbert. Gilbert earned a B.A. in social sciences and art at Michigan State University in 1964, an M.S. in photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1972, and a M.S.W. from Salem State College in 1993. He is married to Barbara (McDonald) Gilbert, and has three daughters, Robyn, Rachel, and Anne. Gilbert took a serious interest in photography at the age of fourteen. In 1963 he joined the staff of Look magazine in New York as the second youngest photojournalist in the magazine's history. As a Look photographer from 1964 to 1966, he photographed folk musician Bob Dylan, the Newport Folk Festival, Simon and Garfunkel, the New York City Financial District, the children and facilities at the Manhattan School for Seriously Disturbed Children. From 1967 to 1969, Gilbert did several shoots, including that of folk singer Janis Ian for Life magazine. After moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1969 to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology, Gilbert conducted notable photo shoots of business and political figure Lenore Romney, and pursued more personal and artistic photography, focusing on urban and rural landscapes in Illinois and Michigan. He then joined the faculty of Wheaton College, where he taught from 1972 to 1982. In 1993, Gilbert graduated from Salem State College, Massachusetts, with a Masters in Social Work, and later pursued a second career as a psychotherapist. Douglas Gilbert died in June 2023. Throughout his photography career, he pursued both freelance commercial work as well as artistic work. His art photography is characterized by its classic black-and-white format, and features people, places and objects shot great attention and sensitivity. Gilbert's works are held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and the Grand Valley State University Art Galleries, as well as in numerous private and institutional collections.

OUR FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS The Jewish festivals in their traditional forms, take the Jew year by year, through all the imoortant periods of Jle.wish hisory. At Passover he lives through the Exodus "as if he himself went out of Egypt"; at Succoth he makes the juurney throug'.1 the wilderness, at Shevuoth he receives the Law. on the various fast days, culminating on Tisha Be' Av, he passes through all the peop!e's wars down to the Destruction of the :::;·c cond Temple, at Hanuccah he wins again the victorv of the people against its attackers and of Judaism over Hellenism. And he who sees all this again year after ye•w ca"'w>~ b,1t root himself deeply in his l)eople and strengthen his detel"mination to bring the renewed State of Israel to fruitioi:i,. and to continue all the bright trends of our ongmal culture. Even the Jew who is far from Jewish tradition will admit that we would have been lost had we not held to these tradiions through the thousands of years of exile. -2- �THE NEW YEAR The New Year festival is far other than the mere opening day, according to the olden ,T ewish reckoning, of another year in the flight of time. Unlike the New Year celebrations of many ancient and modern nations, the Jewish New Year is not a time, of revelry. It is a solemn season of self-examination and self judgment in thP life of the Jew. Scripture prescribes a special symbolic rite for this day, the sounding of the ram's horn, the SHOF AR. Whoever has once heard during the New Year service the shrill notes or this oldest of wind instruments will never forget them. And the meaning- of this ceremony to the worshippers who listen to these notes in solemn awe is as stirring as the sounds themselves. Since days immemorial, the sounding of the ram's horn on the New Year has been interpretmd in Israel as the clarion call to repentance and spiritual renewal, saying: "Awake, ye sleepers! Be not of those who miss realities in their hunt after shadows. Consider your deeds: purify your hearts. There is an Eye that seeth all things: there is an Ear that heareth all things. There is a heavenly Judge with whom is no unrighteousness, nor forgetfulness, nor respect of persons." And on the High Festivals the Jew thinks not only of himself, but of pe,ace and blessedness for all mankind. In the most ancient and solemn part of the services, both of the New Year and of the Day of Atonement, he prays God to hasten the time when the mighty shall be just and the just mighty; when al! the children of men shall form one hand of brotherhood; when national arrogance and oppression shall have passed away, like so much smoke from the earth. -JOSEPH H. HERTZ ~Chief Rabbi of British Empire (1872-1946) A MESSAGE FROM OUR RABBI The year just t,ided was a test year. Through the will and determination of the Jewish people everywhere, the D. P. camps have well nigh been evacuated. Thousands of our brethren have been given a new Je,3se on life in their new horn,~, Palestine. The Israelis have proved to the world by their a.bility and wisdom that they can carry on as a free and indept111dent nation. While there are still many pressing problem, facing the Israeli government and the Israeli peopTe1 as a whole, we are confident nevertheless, that given time, they will go from strength to strength. For our own local community, the year past was also a challenge. Our program called for vision, courage, effort and a strong- will for execution of same. The year being over, we can say with a smile the work was done and don0 well. Now we stand at the threshold of the New Year. More, much more is expected of us in the New Year. Only by doing better in the days ahead, shall we know that we are progressing. We have met the challenge before, with God's help and a combined effort we can can do it again. Rabbi Samuel Umen BEGINNERS' CLASSES IN HEBREW Parents who are planning to register their children in the Heb1"f',W School are asked to do so at the Temple Office. before October 24. A beginner's class in Hebrew for Adults will be gi~n on Thursday evenings from 8 :00 p.m. to 9 :00 p.m. beginning October 27. All those who are interested in this course, are urged to notify the Temple Office. A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Somehow around this time of the year, a new spirit takes hold of us. We look forward to the New Year. We feel that the ew Year will be better and will have nicer things for us than that offe1 1c,d by the past. All this is natural. We can't do anything with the past. The past is gone, dead. It is the future that can be lived and translated by our life into things great and memorable. Hence. standing before the New Year in which we are about to begin to liYe, let u1:: resolve to live every day granted to us to the fullest of our ability. Onlv by remembering our duty to ourselves, our fellow-man, our community, our people and our country, not only in thought but also in act, shall we fully c-njoy the days that are ours in the future. May God grant that the New Year be for us and all mankind one of happiness and rich in achievement. -PAUL M. WIENER A MESSAGE FROM THE RITUAL CHAIRMAN I am happy to report to the community that the year now ending was one that gave me and my committee untold joy. It. was good to see the large attendance at our Friday night service, the many Congregants join and participate in the Oneg S'habat programs after the service, and following through the Ritual Program as planned by the Committee throughout the year. Recently the committee met again and mapped ou a pro,g ram for the coming year, which I am sure will inclicate, as this program evolves, that we are makin~ progress. that we are headine; for a strong united community. All of us are responsible for the progress we made last year. I know that the entire Congregation will continue to coperate in the future as in the past to the end that we shall all enjoy the fruits of our labor. May our heavenly Father bless us, all Israel, and all mankind with a New Year of peace anrl prosperity. -SAMUEL G. KLAYF A MESSAGE FROM OUR SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT We of Sisterhood are happy to wish the members of our community a year of peace, happiness. joy and contentment. With our transitional year in the past, a difficult but happy one, we forge ahead to serve as an auxiliary to our fine congregation to the fullest of our capacity. May we be ever mindful of our duties and obligations to our people and community so that every year produces greater and more constructive achievements. The beautiful and familiar words always sounded at the New Yeal'--"L'Shono Tova Tikosevu" serve as a stimulus to fulfill our duties to bring the ultimate of peace, happiness, joy and contentment to all of us and our fellowmen. -FRANCES AUGUST GREETINGS FROM B'NAI BRITH PRESIDENT Through the medium of this Bulletin I wish to extend my sincerest wishes to all the Temple members and to all the members of the Abraham Rosen Lodge. Judging from the enthusiasm expressed by most of our members with regard to the B'nai Brith program for the coming year. I feel that we can look forward to a very fruitful year. -HAROLD SILVERMAN �A MESSAGE FROM OUR U. J.C. CHAIRMAN I recall at this writing, a thought from one of the sermons delivered by our Rabbi during the High Holy Day Service of last year. "We can become better if we only will it to be. We can make our community better if we so desire. It is all within our will." I fully agree with the Rabbi that the key to success lies within the will. When a person sets his whole heart and mind upon a certain goal, he can in due time achieve his aim. Obstacles vanish before the strong-willed. In December 1948, a large portion of the Temple membership, met at a dinner at the Occidental Hotel. Then and there we took counsel together and decided how much help our needy brethren were to receive from us. We pledged our help individually and as a group. We reported our decision to those that were waiting for our answer and who were countin_g- on us. Thus far, on the whole, our pledge remains nothing but a gesture. I feel that in any and every language there is nothing more sacred than a pledge. Let nothing stand in our way between now and the New Year in keeping our word with God and our fellow man. Before we ask God for a New Year of life, let us make sure that we through our promises have not deprived others of the same. -SAM LIPMAN NEW YEAR GREETINGS FROM OUR RELIGIOUS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL With God's blessings of a New Year of health and happine,ss for ourselves and our children, we look forward to a year of gi:eat achievements in our Religious School. Many outstanding Jewish leaders and educators whose talents were given in the last decade. to the pressing problems of Jewish homelessness, are now directing their attention to the much neglected problem of Jewish education at home.--here in the United States. There is no doubt in my mind that a new attitude and new spirit toward Jewish study will seize the entire Jewish Community of America. It is in the light of this happening, together with what we ourselves are planning for our School in the way of a program, that I feel confident that the coming year will be one of outstanding accomplishments in our School. -Gene Berman, Principal A TEMPLE NEEDS A SOUL A Temple is in a way like a human being. The bones, the flesh, the sinews, the entire body structure is nothing but lifeless matter without the breath of life-the soul. A house of worship, no matter how beautiful it may b~, wi~ho~t the life that the Congregants pour mto 1t, 1s nothing but a dead body. A Temple like a human being needs a soul. It needs life. There are many ways by which the membership can make their Temple a living institution. . A~ this time we should like to suggest the bmldmg and developing of our choir. The Choir is a necessary adjunct of the Temple. Ther~- are a number of men and women in our Cong1 egation who can help develop our Choir. By helping the Choir, we shall be giving life and enrich the soul of our Temple. Join the Choir. Call Rose Rosenberg, chairman, and tell her that you want to lend your voice. "LET US COME AND SING UNTO THE LORD." A MESSAGE FROM THE HADASSAH PRESIDENT I am very grateful to the Congregation for inviting me to extend Hadassah's New Year greetings to our community through this Bulletin. Once again, I wish to say that the past year has bern one of success for Hadassah generally and for our Chapter particularly. Two things governed our action and stimulated our interest and work. First, the cause itself and secondly the knowledge that we were working for the enh:rncement of the State of Israeli. The New Year, will I am certain make irreater dr-mwds upon us. I am also certain that the untold satisfaction which we derive from our work, will not permit us to slacken. Hadassah's healing hand is needed now more than ever. I know that Hadassah here as everywhere else, will not deprive her bre thren the care and comfort that is due them. During the High Holy Day Service, we ask for life, let us also remember to help those in need to life and liberty. May we all be privileged to enjoy the New Year in peace, health and prosperity to the end that we may se,rve God anrl man. --Jessie Neumer A PRAYER AND A DEAL Once there was a poor man, a "schlemihl". He was so unhappy that he took pleasure it1 daydreaming. One day he uttered the following prayer: "Dear God-give me ten thousand dollars for the New Year. I'll tell you what---1'11 make a deal with you. I swear to give five thousand dollars of this amount for charity, the other half let me keep. You say you have doubts about my honorable intentions?-then give me the five thousand dollars I ask for myself and the other five thousand dollars You give to charity yourself." BIRTHDAYS FOR SEPTEMBER Rochelle Louise Cherin September Alexander Samuel Krause September September 2 William Dean Rosenberg September September ~ Jack Stanley Roberts September September 7 Burt Hess Roberts September -4- -----0----A N NIVER SAR IE S FOR SEPTEMBER Mr. and Mrs. Milton Steindler Mr. and Mrs. Max Shumacher Mr. and .Mrs. Anton Aron A MESSAGE FROM THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE CHAIRMAN It was a wonderful experience to work together with the younger member& of the Congregation. Since we got organized late in the year, there was little time had for planning a full program of activity. The few affairs conducted by the Young People's League during the yeal', however, proved to be very successful. More careful planning and a better organized group, I bdieve, can do itself proud during the coming year. I have faith in the Young People's League. I want to take this opportunity of expressing my deepest gratitude to the Congregation and Sisterhood for the co-operation the Young People's League received from them on every occasion. May our Lord grant us all health and happiness in the ew Year, so that we can go on in our work from strength to strength. -HERBERT FISHER 12· 13 15 20 24 ) 1 .J �l PURPOSE OF LIFE What is the meaning of life? This probably is the most speculative question with which the philosophers have wrestled in every generation. Two things are certain. We are born and we die. What of the years between these two events? The average person uses about the first twenty or twenty-five years of life to prepare for his life's work. This last about forty years and then he either dies or retires. It is with these forty years that the average man is most concerned. What is the purpose of them. For what purpose should he prepare himself, only to know that at best he has forty or less years to be alive. What should be the goal of purpose. To what designation should we set our ambition to achieve. It seems to me that joy is the answer. Not pleasure. Pleasure is only an artifice of nature to guarantee that he living will continue to live; it in no way indicates the direction of life. But joy always announces he fact that life has succeeded, that it has gained ground, has won a victory; great joy has a note of triumph in it. Wherever there is joy there is creation: the richer the creation the more profound the joy. The mother looking at her child has joy because she knows that she "created" him, physically and morally. Take the exceptional joys of life: those of the artist realizing his concepts of beauty, the scholar discovering truth. You may have thought that these men work for the glory of it all, that they take great pleasure in the admiration of others. This is a profound error. Men depend on fame and honor to the exact extent that they are no sure of having- succeeded. One who is absoluely sure of having done a good work has no need of praise; he feels himself above glory, for the simple reason that he is a creator; he knows he is a cre.ator and the joy he has in knowing it is a divine joy. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Before you flare up at anyone's faults, take lime to count ten-ten of your own. 13) Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit. 14) A frJW people get up bright and early, but most of us get up early. ----.fl----- 15) Sewing Circle: a group that darns more husbands than socks.

As we are about to resume the Friday night servic()S, we cannot help but think of Sisterhood and the hostesses that Sisterhood furnished throughout the past season. There is nothing that hits the spot better than a hot cup of tea or coffeo after the Service. Sisterhood with its hostesses made this possible last year. We look forward to the continuance of this lovely gesture. TWO DEDICATIONS TO TAKE PLACE SOON The Golden Book will be dedicated at the first Friday night service on October 21st. After the Service, congregants will have a chance to feast their eyes on the magnificent art work found within the covers of the Book. Later in the season, perhaps during the Thanksiriving week~end, we shall have the pleasure of dedicating the Israeli Room now being made ready for the occasion. 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) -5- THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH HOLY DAYS Rosh-means head Shonnoh-means year Ha-means the Rosh Hasonnoh-means the head of the year or the beginning of the year. Rosh Hashonnoh is celebrate,d rn the month of TISHREI. TISHREI is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar. The first month on the Hebrew calendar is NIS'ON. Rosh Hashonnoh is obse,r ved two days by Orthodox and Conservative Jews and one day by Liberal or Reform Jew,;. Rosh Hashonnoh marks the anniversary of the world. Our Rabbis believe that the world was cre.~ted in the fall during the month of TISHREI. Rosh Hasonnoh is known by several names: a. YO.M RADIN-Judgment Day. b. YOM HAZIKORON-Day of Remembrance. c. YOM TRUOH-Day of sounding the Trumpet. Rosh Hashonnoh is known as Judj?'ment Day because our Rabbis claim that God sits in judgement on this day, reviews our deeds of the year gone by and judges according to our dessert. Some are marked for death, some for life, some for health and some for illness, som'e, for riches and some for poverty etc. The reason why Rosh Hashonnoh is known as YOM HAZIKORON is because God remembers the great sacrifices many of our leaders have made on behalf of their religion and their love for God. Rosh Hashonnoh is known as YOM TRUOH because on this day the SHOFAR (or trumpet) is sounded during the Service. Special prayers are re.,cited on Rosh Hashonnoh. We appeal to God for a New Year of health, happiness and prosperity. Many of the prayers for the New Year or Rosh Hashonnoh Servic'e were written by Rabbis amd poets of the middle ages. A few of these men are: J ehudah Halevi Ibn Ezra Eleazer Kalir Solomon Ibn Gabirol Rosh Hashonnoh is a major holiday. A major holiday is one which is mentioned in the Bible. Rosh Hashonnoh falls on the first day of the seventh month of Tishrei. All holidays that are observed two days outside of Palestine, are observed only one day in Palestine. Rosh Hashonnoh is observed two days in Palestine (both days are regarded as one). According to Or+hodox law, no wo1·k, except cookinJ?: is permitted on Rosh Hashonnoh. The SHOFAR (trumpet) which is sounded during the Service on Roi'-h Hashonnoh, is fashion'e,d out of a Ram's horn. It brings to mind the ram which God sent to Abraham as a substitute for the sacrifice of his son, Isaac. It is customary to dip bread in honey at the supper hour on the eve of Rosh Hashonnoh. This is to symbolize the sweeitness we hope the New Year will bring us. �TEMPLE PROSPECTUS THE MEMBERSHIP of Congregation B'nai Israel consists of men and women who desire to practice the teachings and perpetuate the life of Israel.

REPRINT FROM LIBERAL JUDAISM TO LIVE AGAIN BY OBSERVER In every service in the Jewish prayer boo_k, _there is 2. po1•tion called the Kaddish. It is recited by the living in honor of the dead. We memonahze the dead, not because our wocds benefit those who have passed away but because we desire to benefit by their qxample as we benefit by theit· works. OUR DEBT TO THE DEA D Only when we pause to think of it, do we realize the vastne s of our debt to those who prereded us. The cities we. inhabit, sometimes even the very dw_ellings in which we live, the instruments we use, the ideas we cherish, the knowledge whereon we bmld, the laws that govern us, Lhe institutions that maintain our civilization-how few of them are the works of the living an<l how many of them a:r'ie the contributions of the dead. Without any reference, at the moment, to per.3onal immortality, as this was pictured by our forebears, the _ck,'ld live in a very definite sense 3:nd ~enefit us by the acts they performed. We find in this reflection a potent argument for conduct which 1s far from subtle. What are we planning to do for the generations that will follow? A1;ei we living for ourselves alone or shall we, too, help to perpetuate in an organized fashion what the wisdom of many o-enerations has la bolled as good and beneficial? ,., At the moment we are thinking of the institutions of religion. We are passing through a period of brazen materialism. Electric lights, dance music and the spirit of Coney Island are too much with us. To be, sure. this will pass away as similar materialistic periods of the past. At the gwift pace of modern life we might well ask ourselves whether the dawn of a new day may ,not find our children impoverished because we did not remember to perpetuate these great truths that can hold a reeling world from destruction. Frankly, we might apply this iruth to ourselves. Are we devoting any of ihe wealth that the gifts of the past enabled us to accumulate to keep aglow the flame of religion? We all make wills. Are we by our testamentary gifts helping to pave the way to a noble Jewish life for our children? Why not gratify the desire to live again 7 · When the rabbi reads the Kaddish prayer and even when he mentions the names of the deceased ii is not he who makes them live again. It is we who l'emernber what they did for u s and who resolve i~ their name, to do our share fo1, those who are to follow. ' Tmi Kaddish service is more than a prayer of memorial. It is a service of consecration, wherein the dead salute the living and the living salute the unborn. -6- �EVENTS OF INTEREST A 95-YEAR-OLD Maryland law requiring public officials to swear to belief in the Christian religion was declared invalid Ly Judge Charles Marbury, who upheld the rig·ht of a councilman-elect to take offi~Q without taking th 2 customary oath on the grounds that he is a member of the pantheist religion.

A BLUEPRINT of Israel's compulsory military service bill was sketched for the Knesset by David Ben Gurion who al. o announced that Israel Army, Navy and Air Force officers wiJJ be gent abroad to receive training in the military academies of various Eastern and Western nations. The basic characteristics of the military service bill are: a permanent land, sea and air force of limited proportions; a body of recruits, who will be enlisted at the age of 18, if they are Israel residents and at 26 if they are new immigrants: a reserve force composed of veterans; specifically fortified frontier settlements whose residents will b~ soldier-farmers. A REQUEST In order to ensure perfect decorum during the High Holy Day Services as well as on Friday evenings, every cong-regant is urged to co-operate with the Temple ushers. Let our ushers always be but a mere symbol of our ncverence and respect and our sincere wish for the most perfect decorum during services. THE TEMPLE LIBRARY The Temple library is slowly but surely expanding. Several excellent volumes have been added to our library shelves this summn· and a ~oodly number of other volumes have recently been ordered.

HERTZ �WE HA VE NOT FORGOTTEN OUR CHILDREN Tho Bulletin of Congregation B'nal Israel ~ published monthly from September to July. Temple Telephone 2-2702 While September and October were busy months for those connected with the Temple, yet our children were not forgotten. A lovely service was arranged for the children on Yorn Kippur Day. This was followed by a beautiful party on Simchath Torah for the entire Sunday School, and another party a few days later for the little tots, sponsored by the Cradle Roll committee. Were it not for our beautiful Temple with its fine facilities, all these affairs would be impossible. Thanks to our Lord for our fine Temple. Rabbi Samuel Umen 1949-OFFICERS-1949 Paul M.

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

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

The December meeting is . cheduled for Tuesday evcn:ng·, December 6th at 8 :30 P.M. YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE While there are only a few weeks since the beginning of our New Year, the YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE already met several times, reorganized itsel:!', elected officers, arranged two affairs-one a Hallowee'n Dance for the 29th of October, and the other a New Year's Eve Party for Saturday night December 31, 1949. At the same time too, the YOU G PEOPLE'S LEAGUE Forum Committee arranged a cultural program including professional entertainment which will be the talk of the town. The first program of entertainment will be given during the month of January. Details of the complete YOU G PEOPLE'S LEAGUE cultural program will be sent to our members shortly. POST CONFIRMATION CLASSES ORGANIZE A meeting of the Post Confirmation Class was held at the Temple on Wednesday evening, October 19, 7 :30 P .M. Besides the Post Confirmation group, there were present Jack Steindler, B'nai Brith representath·e in charge of Youth Activities; Herbert Fisher, President of the Young People's League, and Rabbi Umen An interesting program of activities was formulated at this meeting, and a regular meeting night set for the young group to hold their meetings. At the rate we are going, every man, woman and child will have a place in our Temple and contribute through their respective organizations to the enhancement of our community's welfare.

A fine program has been arranged for the dedication of the Golden Boo~. In connection with this dedication, there will also be a Testimonial Dinner in honor of several of our members who throughout the years have served their Congregation and the community with their time, energy and means. Those to b<.' honored at this dinner and dedication are: Reuben Berman Rebecca Shmookler Sadie Grossman Joseph S. Strifling Sarah Klein Josiah Wiener Hyman Lipman Eli M. Smith Max Rosenberg Harry A. Fisher J. Kelly Kaufman Ida Ashendo~·f Harold Rosen Robert Cherm Herman Mendelson JEWISH BOOK MONTH NOVEMBER 11-DECEMBER 11 WHY JEWISH BOOK MONTH? The Jewish Book Council of America is a broad representative organization "bringing toge~her Jews of varying religious an4 cultural _group1r:gs on a common platforI? of mterest m .Jew!sh literature" and covering the field of Jewish literary a.'ctivity in the Un~te4 States in i~s trilingual form of Hebrew, Yiddish and Enghsh. One of the methods used to achieve this objective is the campaign for the observance of Jewish Book Month conducted annually by the Council as a means of stimulating interest in the Jewish book and sustaining the interest aroused throughout the year. At no other time were there more cogent. reasons for such an observance. The time has come when American Jewry must play a positive part in assuring the survival of the J e"'.ish cultural heritage. The great European J ew1sh centers of learning and literature are in ruin~, the majority of the Jews of Europe have penc:hed, the potential talent and creative energies of the Jewish populations in Europe are destroyed. It is clear that the responsibility for restoring these ruins falls upon the Jews of America. The Jewish Book Council of America is one of the agencies of Jewish life in America which is assuming a share in this responsibility and is seeking ways of creating conditions favorable for the development of an American Jewish culture, and of preserving the age-old Jewish heritage. A deep consciousness of this need must be awakened and it, is hoped that Jewish Book Month will provide the impetus. WHAT HAVE PUBLIC LIBRARIES DONE TO OBSERVE JEWISH BOOK MONTH? Originated in 1926 as Jewish Book Week by a librarian (Miss Fanny Goldstein, Librarian of th West End Branch of the Boston Public Library), Jewish Book Month has been teadily gaining in importance as an annual observance in public libraries. Libraries in both large and small communities have arranged many attractive programs and exhibitions in the past. Public libraries have also participated in community-wide celebrations and a number have prepared special lists of books of Jewish interest for distribution. BIRTHDAYS FOR DECEMBER Donald Michael Wiener December 7 Harold Victor Shumacher December 15 Stanley Brooke Kantor December 18 Gale Patricia P1·ice December 20 Nancy Kay Ashendorf December 24 OU R LIBRARY This month being Book Month, our minds naturally tunn to books and libraries in general, anrl to our own library and books in particular. Due to the kindness of many of our members as well 'lS the commendable work of our library chairman, our library is growing from day to day. lowly but surely some of the finest books arc finding their way into our Temple Library. During the summer. thirty new volumes have been added to our lovely collection. May we suggest, that this month above all, is a very appropriate time to give a gift either in money or a book to the Temple Library. Both the donor'i, name and the name in whose honor or memory the book is given are attached to the covers of the book. "Books are the legacies that genius leaves to mankind, to be delivered down from generation to generation, as presents to those that are yet unborn." ISRA ELI ROOM TO B E DEDICATED NOV. 20 On November 2·1 of last year, during the din ner given in honor of Leo S. Rosen, and also at the time when our Temple was dedicated, about $4,000.00 do11ars were pledged by the dinner guests and paid for a room in our Temple, to be known 'lS the "Israeli Room". Between last year and now, a mural has been set up in one of the Temple classrooms, confirming the pledge and promisf made by this Congregation last November. Th,s mural which was carefully and tastefully designed, will be on a long time and serve as a symbol of the heroic deeds performed by our brethren in the establishment of a democratir Jewish i1tate, for which they hoped and waited for two chousand years. THIS ISRAELI ROOM, WILL BE FORMALLY DEDICATED ON SU DAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, AT 8 :00 P. M. OU'I'ST ANDING PERSO ALITIES, INCLUDING GOVER ·oR WILLIAMS WILL ATTEND AND P ARTI CIp ATE IN THE DEDICATORY SERVICE. UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES The time has come when we must take counsel together once again and decide how much we are going to do this year for our unfortunate brethren who wait for our help. Before doing so, however, we must first consider the meaning of 1:1, pledge to ourselves and the person to whom it is made. Last year too we met and pledged. Had our brethren depended on some of us entirely, there would be none of them left today to call upon us again. B etw e en now and Dece mb e r let us determine to clean up last year's appeal, and decide what our gift should be this year. It is wrong to play around with other people's lives. It is well to remember that every person in need is our broth er and we, more fortunate are his keeper. VIEWPOINT The man got his ailing friend as far as t he doctor's door, but there t he patient balked. Patient: "I'm a little leery about going in there." Friend: "Nonsense, this is one of the best doctors in the country." Patient: "Maybe so, but I don't like the odds he offers. Look on his door there-IO to 1." -4- �B'NAI BRITH EVENTS OF INTEREST Under the inspired leadership of its new president, Eugene Fisher, our B'nai Brith is making· rapid strides in its expansion program. With a memberi;hip at an all-time high o.f more t.han 100, the organizaiion is looking to<lay toward its most active year as a community service group. The dedication in conjunction with National B'nai Brith Week on Friday, Octcber 14th, started the new ball a-rolling. Rabbi Samuel Umen spoke on "Looking Backward and Fonvard", and deceased presidents of the lodge and the national organization were commemorated. This event was followed by a highly successful Polio Fund Benefit at the Temple on Sunday, October 16th, where an impressive turnout danced to Buddy Friend's music. Preentation of our check for $355.00 to a representative of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis highlighted the intermission program. Our B'nai Brith rates a low bow for this very worthwhile affair, which was one of the community's most successful Polio benefits. Strictly on the sccial side was the B'nai Brith meeting Monday, Oct. 24th. At least 60 members spent a thoroughly enjoyable evenin.e.-. thanks to an entertaining and enlightening program. Three films were shown, the first dealth with the popular sport of fishing, the second was a "Manch of Time" tribute to the F.B.I., and the third was a timely documentary on Palestine narrated by Frederic March. On Sunday morning October 30th, fall and winter bowling begins. All members are urged to come down to Demos Bowling Alleys and participate. This year we have something special to work for; and that something is our entry into the Michigan B'nai Brith Bowling League which will be held in Grand Rapids in 1950. And finally, on the academic side of the ledger, in the near future we are going to have an opportunity to hear Mr. Haskell Lazere of the Anti-Defamation League, the exact date of Mr. Lazere's talk will be announced later. THE JEWISH population of Smyrna, Turkey, has been reduced from 16,000 to 4,400 as a result of large-scale migration to Israel during the last few months. In August alone, 2,000 Turkish Jews left the country for Israel, which brought the total number of Jewish emigrants from Turkey to Israel to above 25,000 in one year. A SYNAGOGUE in Frankfurt was attacked by three Nazis during Yorn Kippur eve services. Two of the vandals were arrested; the third escaped. THE SECOND Rosh Hashanah since the state of Israel was established was observed in packed synagogues throughout the country. Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and Cabinet ministers and other Government officials offernd their prayers in the new temple in Northern Tai Aviv. 200 Ford trucks., paid for from funds which I rael receivea in the Export-Import Bank Joan, have been shipped to Israel. THE ESTABLISHMENT of a Department of Culture and Education to work in cooparation with local Jewish educational and cultural groups outside of Israel, has been announced by the Jewish Agency. The department will be headed by Dr. Hayim Greenberg, member of the Amarican section of the Agency executive. DISCRIMINATION against qualifid Jewish students seeking admission to colleges is widespread in p1;vate colleges in the Northeastern section of the country, according to Elmo Roper, public opinion analyst. CHANUKAH December 15-23 Things To Know About Chanukah 1. Chanukah falls on the 25th day of the Jew- THANKSGIVING DAY We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord! Not for armed legions, marching in their might, Not for the glory of the well-earned fight Where brave men slay their brothers also brave; But for the millions of Thy sons who workAnd do Thy ta k with joy-and never shirk, And deem the idle man a burdened slave; For these, 0 Lord, our thanks! We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord! Not for the palaces that wealth has grown, Where ease is worshipped-duty dimly known, And pleasure leads her dance the flowery way; But for the quiet homes where love is queen And life is more than baubles, touched and seen, And old folks bless us, and dear children play; For these, 0 Lord, our than ks!

[ai d Mrs. Louis A. Ro sett, NFTS President, in a m essage to Chapter Presi dents, "I urge you and your memlbers to give this tremendously significant effort every assistance. The advancement of Liberal Juda ism dep ends on the success of the Combined Campaign. No cause in J ewish life should lbe dearer to our hearts, nor more deserving of our energy." Stating that the Combined Campaign strikes at the core of t h e basic national n eeds in furthering Libera l Judaism, J. Herbert Kaufman. NFTB President, called on t he brotherhoods and men's clubs to lend every assistance to the Campaign. "For our sake" . he said, "but of even greater importance, for the sake of our children, we must help to supply the wherewithal to assure a brighter futu re for the coming generation by wholehearted and generous support to the Combined Campaign for our national institutions." B'NAI BRITH B'nai Brith mai·ches forward. Eugene Fisher, President of B'nai Brith, likes among many other things, action and more action. Every meeting is ,charged with an air of vibrancy. Eith•3r there is a report of a job well done, a task being done, or one that is to 1be undertaken and is to be done. "Did , doing, to be done," is what one hears constantly at t he B'nai Erith m embership meetings this year. If it is Red Cross, it is a B'nai Brith project. If it is blood t hat is needed for the Blood Bank in our communi ty, B'nai Brith is in lin e to give it. If it is a Brotherhood Program for the J ewish Community, B'nai Brith puts it on a nd puts it over. Speaking on Brotherhood, we are rem inded to thank Rabbi U men for his won derfu l arrangements, Bill Stern for inviting the guest speak ers to dinner before the affa ir, Ear le Press for t heir complim entary programs, Lillian Kaufman for deco rations, Fre d Rodoff for acting as toastmaster, and the committee who helped select the individual for the B'nai Brith a nnua l Brotherhood award. Thanks to all the B'nai Brith members for their co-operation in all B'nai Brith projects accomplished so far. On Saturday evening Marc h 18, a comm unity dan ce is planned by B' n a i Brith. A good t ime is assured to all. Everything will be in B'nai Br ith style. Don't miss this get together.

Dear Ra,bbi Umen, Knowing of your deep interest in Amer ican ideals, I take great pleasure in appointing you as a memiber of the Mid-Century American Rededication Commission to meet with other Michigan citizeins to discu,, and study the advisability of formulating- a state-wide program, co-ordinating and broadening the present existing programs of the various civic and p.atriotic organizations. I am callill1g a meeting of this Commission -for Febr uary 23, 1950 at 10 :30 A.M. in the chambers of th e House of Renresenta.tives in Lansing so ihat I may meet with all the m embers and learn from them first h,.nd what these organizations are now doi'ng and what you may feel could be don e to further such programs. Details of the arr ::rng-ements for this meeting will be forwarded to you at a later date. Sincerely yours, G. MENNEN WILLIAMS Governor THE F RE MON T CONG REGATIONAL CHURCH February 7, 1950 Ra.bbi Samuel Umen, Temple B'nai Israel, Muskegon, Mich. Dear Sir, Just a note of thanks for the splendid job you did Sunday evening. After you had left we sat for a,nother hour talking of what you had said and out of that conversation came what I think is the key to the whole evenimg. On e of the girls said, "I will never say 'Jew' again with the same meaning". They liked and admired you very much and you have made a real contribution to brotherhood even in our small group. I am very grateful. We were sincere in our desire to visit you and your people and we boldly ask for an invitation at a t ime which is convenient to you. We will com e into your fellowship with the same spirit in which you came to ours, that of friendship and a desire to better understand you as we -search together for God. Cordially, HORACE B. LOOMIS, Pastor. January 22. 1950 1528 Nelson St. Muskegon, Mich. Dear Rabbi Umen, I want to thank you so much for a talk at our Sunday School that has brought many compliments, from th e folks who heard it. I needed no compliments to know that the yo ungsters liked it-and I am sure got the inspir_a tion for greater interest in the Old Testament-just as I knew you could give them. It me ans a gre at deal t o us and to the community to have a ma:n servin g the T e mple B'nai Israel who also has time and grace to serve the rest of the community . Sincerely, PAUL A. ELLIOTT MICHIGAN COURT OF CLAIMS 616 State Office Bldg., Lansing 13, Michigan January 19, 1950 Rabbi Samuel Umen, Congregati.on B'nai Israel, Muskegon, Mich. Dear Rabbi Umen, Governor Williams is planning the establishment of an American Rededication Commission and expressly desired to have you as a member of that Commission. As you well know the Governor would be interested only ~n a positive program of Americanism, and it is primarily for that reason that he would desire to have you on the Commission, knowing your li,beral viewpoint.

The resolution, expressing "the hop e that the National Jewi sh Welfare Board promote many ways to increase the study and understanding of J ewish history," was prepared by the C.C.A.R.

It has through its fine work developed a substantial repertoire of Friday evening music as well as compositions for the Holidays and other occasions. W e take off our hats to the women of the congregation who despite weather and sickness and other occa.sional interruptions stuck to the project of ·building a Temple- choir and built one. We are deeply indebted to every member in the choir, to Hubert Baker our organist and Paul Schulze choir master. We really don't know how we can ever thank this fine team for its magnificen t contrilbution to the Temple. SISTERHOOD Sisterhood members will have plenty of hours of concentrated activity in the- next three months as t h ey have recently set a new goal. The organization hopes to pm0chase A NEW PIANO for the T emple recreation room and have not yet passed the half-way mark on their regular budg,3t. With this thought in mind, an app eal to the community to patronize the n ext :several Sisterhood social functions should be heeded. MRS. SAM LAW SON is general chairman for the PURIM SUPPER and CARNI VAL scheduled for the FIFTH OF MARCH. The 'Whole family will enjoy th e treats planned for that night--a MINSTREL SHOW and a CARD PARTY are on the evening's program Last year's Passover Seder was such a complete success under the leadership of MRS. MAX SHUMACHER. that she plans to direct the activity a.gain and wishes to announce that it w ill 1be held on THE SECOND NIGHT OF PESACH, April 2•. A new system of ticket selling was instituted for the Seder last year. and it will be fo llowed again in order that everyone in the community will be able to participate. There will be a minimum charge of $2.00 per plate but inasmuch aJs that sum will not even pay for the foo d cost, much less the necessary embelli shment for such an occasion, it is hoped that there will be voluntary PATRONS and PATRONESSES. Sist erhood's May fund-raising activity will b e un der the leadership of Mrs. Wm. Stern. A RUMMAGE SALE irs planned and as the Spring housecleaning and wardrobe changing season approaches, it is hoped that you will save furniture, bric-a..Jbra:c, clothing, etc for the rummage sale crew. There are still many Sisterhood members who have neglected to PAY DUES for the '49 -50 year. MRS. LOUIS ARON has suggested that we mention this fact in this bulletin 1so that it will prompt those who have forgotten the importanc e of that part of our budget. So that our choirwomen would be properly costumed for the "American All" pageant, it was necessary for Sisterhood to purchase four new robes. Vve hope the community is aware of the many projects the Sisterhood financially sponsors and can understand t he importance of attending each holiday party as it is planned. Of course there will be a CRADLE ROLL PARTY on February 25, in celebration of Purim and the SUNDAY SCHOOL will have its program and party on Sunday after.noon, February 26, honoring th e festival of gladness and cheer. An invitation to the adult community to attend th e Sunday School party is hereby issued. The Sisterhood women will act a1s hostesses. Sisterhood's MARCH MEETING will lbe held March 7, and in order to follow the motif of Purim, the Sunday School class taught by Sam Shumacher will give a repeat performance of "SICK PURIM". Felicitations for the coming happy holidays. Depend on your Sisterhood and let Sisterhood depend on you . Frances August-President. SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED }lave you noticed th e beautiful case adorning the Temple Lolb by? How can anyone !overlook anything so gorgeous? This case is the newly built home for the Congregation's Golden Book. Both the case and the Book call forth our pride a·ncl. joy. We cannot help but tell the designer and donor of the magnificent case, that we are proud of him as well 115 of his gift. We thank you Ke 1ly from the bottom of our hearts. May God preserve you and keep you for many, many years. THE GARDEN FUND Slowly but surely the Temple Garden Fund is growing. As the Spring season i.s nearing, more and more of our members become aware of the need of having the Temple lawn properly cultivated. We feel ,c ertain, •because of the growing interest in the, Temple lawn that when the time co mes for flow ers to bloom and shrubs to show off their beauty and grass to refresh the eye, all of thec e will not be wanting on our Temple g-r c,unds. In the meantime, Jet us make sure that the Garden Fund continues growing. THE GOLDEN BOOK A case for our Golden Book has been donated no less ,beautiful than the Golden Book itself. The whole ensemble is not only a feast for the eyes, but a reminder to every member of the Congregation, as the plaque on the case reads, that the book is a record of the treasured memories of our Congregation. Lest some misunderstand the reading on the plaque, we waa1t to make it clear that th e book is not something that belongs to the past. It is to be- used in the pn:sent as well as in the future. It is for every me mber's use and for the use of every affiliated T e mple organizatiOln . Now that it is ready for use, let us use it. Have your anniversary inscribe d in it. Inscr~be the memory of a dear one in it as a permanent record . Record in it your chi.Id'1s birthday, your so,n 's Bar Mitzvah date, your daughter's confirmation date or wedding dale, etc. Yes, let us use our Golden Book and preserve in it those events of our life which are dear unto us. JUST CLAIM Discussing which of the professions is the oldest the doctor stated: "Medicine is oldest because the first act of God in Eden was a rib resection to form woman." "But, said the engineer, "Before Eden, God created the world out of chaos in six days; surely this was an engineering job." The lawyer mu sed thoughtfully, "And who." he asked, "was responsible for chaos?" HEBREW SCHOOL It is most encouraging to see from week to week, our children moving forward in the knowledge of the Hebrew language. A knowledge and an appreciation of Hebrew will eventuate in a deeper interest and closer relationship on the part of our youing to our people, our culture, c-ur dreams, and our hopes. The revival of Hebrew means the revival of the Jewish spirit. Parents are invited to, drop in from time to time and observe their child1·en at work in our H ebrew School. -5- �OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL It is good to see several members of our School Board visiting our School each Sunday. These visits will not d,n ly ,s erve to encourage the teachers and the children but affords the members of the School Board an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the operation and program of our School. We welcome the visits of our School Board members and are confident that these visits will help our School co·ntinue to grow from ,s trength to strength. TWO ADULT CLASSES IN HEBREW We are happy to report that the Adult Class in Hebrew started by Ralbtbi Umen this year, at the Muskegon Junior College is well received by the non-sectarian group, and is progre•s sing in a manner beyond all expectations. The Adult Hebrew Class that tbegan at the, Temple a year ago is doing exceptidnally well. Both groups can be p.roud of their accomplishments, and we of the Temple are certainly happy to know that we are serving Jew as well as non -Jew through the facilities of Congregation B'nai Israel and its Rabbi. THE TEMPLE LIBRARY Thanks to Fred Rodoff, and those in the Cong;regation who have answered his many appeals for the Temple Library fund, our library shelves are filling out with some excellent volumes. The books that grace our Library shelves are works that have been tested in the crucible of time and declared eternal. We are proud of our contributors, of our chaimnan and of our library. While libraries are not built in a day, we still want our congregants to know that over a period of years we can have a collection of books that will adorn not only our Temple, but by which we can all be adorned. I n our remembering, let us remember the Library. In our forgetting, let us not forget the Temple Library. CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LIBRARY FUND DURING JANUARY Mr. and Mrs. Max Lebow (in memory of Sadie Krause) Mrs. Harold Silverman (in memory of her mothe,r ) BIBLE STUDY Time marches on and so does the, Bible Study Group. Thus far. the Psalm Book has been thoroughly discuJssed from every possible angle; Song of Songs has been taken up; and Ecclesiastes has been covered .. Now the religion of the Prophets is ,being carefully analyzed. The requirements for this course is nothing else but attendance. The benefits incalculable.

For this splen did co-operation . I am most t hankful to t hese in dividuals. I feel certain that before long every one in our community will have made some g ift to the greatest cause in the long histor y of our people. It may intere.s t our community that almost half of our pledge has already been t urned over to U. J. A . headquarters. It is my si ncere belief that with the wonderful co-operation of our pledgees, we sh all have (90 % ) ninety percent of the moneys promised sent overseas wh ere it is to help our brethren in dire nee d. Thus far , we have all worked together as a unit. We have ,s ucceeded in our goal. Let us fi nish our assignment in the same spirit as we have begun it. W hatever you can send in 1now, if you have as yet not g iven anything on your pledge, will bring us a ll that much closer to th e end of our objective. With thanks again, I am Sincerely, HARRY A. FISHER U . J . C. Chairman HADASSAH The events of the next few mo nths will be climaxed by a most important date- nam ely our Donor Dinner.

This project is under the leadership of Mrs. Morris Levine a n d promises to be a success. Our attendance at meetings has been good and we hope to make it still better with each successive month. The programs have been both education -al and entertaining in a,n effort to spur u s on to the great job ahead. Our need this year is greater than ever. Each month a large n u mber of immigrants come into Israel. T he people are t ired .and sick in bod1y and soul and above all are disea se ridden.

Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.
