In the spirit of reverence hailing the high holy days the 1963-5724 special edition of the Jewish Press selected "Women of the Bible" as its theme, according to annual tradition. Heroism and Faith Tribute is paid to the wonderful, valorous mothers, sisters and daughters among the Jews of biblical times whose legends involving heroism and faith in the ways of their people, are acclaimed to this day. Jewish literature from biblical times to the present, has emphasized the value and importance of great women. The lifelong history of the Jewish people show the same respect for the matriarchs as the patriarchs, and arc sur-

rounded by a halo of beauty, virtue, and wisdom. Place of Mother The mother in Jewish tradition is regarded as laying the foundation of the children's character, on which -the father builds. At this time of the year, as well as during other holidays, it is the woman of the home, who by her own participation in preparing for the s a c r e d occasions, teaches her children to revere and acquire an insight in the beliefs of their people. Generations Inspired The wisdom and faith of the women in the bible portrayed in the pages of this edition, have been an inspiration to all following generations.

There is Deborah, a judge in Israel, when women in other lands were slaves. On another page, you will meet Miriam, who stood by the side' of her brother, Moses, the redeemer of Israel from slavery in Egypt. There is the story of Ruth whose fidelity to her mother-in-law, is one of the most moving dramas in the bible. Also, to this day, Ruth is honored as the ancestress of the great King David. The experiences of Esther, wife of the Persian king, Ahasuerus, who saved the Jewish refugees in that country, and the drama of Rebekah, one of the matriarchs, are only a few of the dramatic heroines of their day portrayed here., •'

Brussels (JTA) — An International Committee for a Dachau Monument has been formed here under the presidency of Arthur Haulot, Belgian High Commissioner for Tourism and former President of the International Committee to develop the project. The monument will be designed to remind humanity of the degradation and d e a t h s xnete.d out by the Nazis. This monument is scheduled to be inaugurated April 29, 19G5, the twentieth anniversary of .the liberation of the camp. • The first committee decided last year at a meeting in Luxembourg to erect an international memorial at the site of the death camp, .the Nazi occupation. Also, the .Warsaw City Council has instructed a group of municipal architects to "prepare plans for a monument to ba erected on the site of the ancient Jewish cemetery in tho suburb of Praga. The cemetery had been completely demolished and leveled by the Nazis.

By Arthur II.. Goldstein President of the Jewish Federation of Omaha The unique and characteristic nature of our Jewish Federation of Omaha, is that through it swidespread programs and activities it serves the entire Jewish community. Throughout 60 years or existence, the Federation has been a symbol of cooperation and solidarity in our community. In Community Whether it be activities for the young and old, care for the aged, programs for individual welfare, camping, Jewish education or Jewish library activities, all thes0 functions are performed by the Federation for the community. Combine Forces And in unison with organized Jewish groups in Omaha, we consolidate our forces in our annual United Jewish Campaign, the Jewish Philanthropies, to provide Omaha's share for local, national, overseas, and Israel needs. There are many more avenues for joint programming which enable the Federation to maintain the tradition and reputation of a "Jewish Community Geared for Service." We are therefore, proud of the community harmony and unity sustained in Omaha. Young Adults Interested The lay leadership on our many committees and boards are proof that the Federation is the concern of many persons. We are especially proud of our young adults who are sharing in our community work with remarkable skill, and are preparing for community leadership, by' being participants in community labors. We hope that in the years to come, the Jewish Federation may grow from strength to strength and that our common heritage for community living—the Jewish Federation — shall continue to function on a most productive level for the benefit of us all. As we enter a New Year, I would like to extend to the members of our community, on behalf of the Jewish Federation boards and Committees, our very best wishes for a happy New Year. May it be a Year of. Joy, Satisfaction, Health and Universal Peace. 1903 5724 JEWISH CALENDAR Rosh Haslianah .. .Sept. 19-20 Yom Kippur '.. .Sept. 28 Sukkot Oct. 3-9 Shimini Atzerct Oct. 10 Simhat Torah Oct. 11 Ilanukkah Dec. 11-18 All observances begin m the eve of the holiday.

were further strengthened in their hope for religious freedom by the Code of Laws drawn up in 1647 which concluded with these words: "And otherwise than what is herein forbidden all men may walk as their conscience persuade them, everyone in the name of his God." Religious Freedom In such a climate of religious freedom these e a r l y settlers hoped to ressurrect their broken lives and to become useful citizens in the New World and at the same time carry out the practices and traditions of Judaism. For a hundred y e a r s , the members of the Congregation, few in number and modest in means, worshiped in private homes. But by 1759 the Congregation had substantially increased sufficiently to undertake the building of a synagogue, which would also incorporate provision for the religious instruction of the young. As this was an ambitious undertaking beyond the menas of the community, an a p p e a l was addressed to other congregations for funds. It is interesting to note that in the letter of appeal to Congregation Shearith I s r a e l , in New York, reference is made to the urgency of procuring proper facilities for educational purposes. In this letter, dated March 21, 1759, the Newport Congregation wrote, "When we reflect on how much it is our duty to instruct children in the path of virtuous religion and how unhappy the portions must be of those children and their parents who through necessity, educated in a place where they must remain totally uninstructed in our most Holy and Divine Law, our rites and ceremonies—we can entertain no doubt of your zeal to promote this good work." Theappeal was successful, for three months later, on. June 30, 1759, a lot for the erection of a Synagogue was purchased, on what was then Griffin Street, from Ebenezer Allen of Sandwich, Massachusetts. The architect selected for the work was the renowned Peter Harrison. There is no record of his ever having asked for or received payment for his work. It must have been a labor of love to him.

And Miriam the prophetess . . . took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her . ,-. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously (Ex. 15:20,21).

Miriam, brilliant and courageous sister of Moses and Aaron, and accounted in the Bible as "prophetess," dedicated herself to her family and the needs of her people. She first appeared on the scene as a litle girl guarding the infant Moses, who had been placed in a basket and left on the river bank in the days when the Pharaoh of Egypt ordered all newborn Jewish boys destroyed. A daughter of the king found the basket and had the infant raised as a member of the royal family. At Miriam's suggestion, the Pharaoh's daughter called the child's mother to nurse him. Moses and Aaron were to lead the Hebrews out of bondage and through the years Moses was saddened to see the suffering of the Israelites. Miriam was at the side of Moses when he delivered their people from Egyptian slavery. Miriam led the Israelite women in song after the Red Sea crossing. This song of deliverance is one of the earliest songs in Hebrew literature and considered one of the finest. Miriam, the great women's leader, is said to be the first woman singer on record.

thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried." (Ruth 1:16).

She married Boaz, a rich kinsman of her husband whom she met while working in the barley fields.

This was Ruth's confession of love for Naomi, her mother-in-law. Ruth "is looked upon as one of the most loveable women in the Bible.

From this marriage, sprang an aus-' picious lineage, the House of David. Their son, Obed, is grandfather of King David.

As a young widow, she choose the way of her mother-in-law and they went to live in Palestine.

And it was Naomi who joyfully took over the duties of nurse to Obed.

Deborah Counselor, Judge and Military Leader

'Mother in Israel."

Deborah, who lived in the time of the "Judges," was the only woman in the Bible, who was placed at the height of public power by the common consent of the people. There are few women in history who have attained the public dignity of Deborah. In all her roles, first as counselor to her people, next as judge in their disputes, and finally as deliverer in time of war, Deborah exhibited womanly exc e l l e n c e . She is often described as "Mother in Israel." .

Long before she rose to great leadership, she could be found sitting under the palm tree by her home on the road between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill country of Ephraim. It was there that people sought her counsel. Her greatest service came in time of war when she and Barak, one of Israel's military "greats" worked out a plan of action to overcome Sisera, commander of Jabin's army. The martial song celebrating her great victory is one of the greatest in history.

Esther--Whose Courage Saved ANation

Esther as she prepared to intercede for the Jews.

Queen Esther, the biblical heroine, lives eternally in the hearts of her people and is commemorated as a woman who rose up as a savior of Jewish refugees about 24 centuries ago. Esther, the wife of Ahasuerus, king of Persia, saved her people from a general massacre planned by Haman, advisor to her husbnd. Sheis the principal character in the biblical Book named after-her and inspiration for the feast of Purim. She is credited with one of the most courageous assertions made by a woman in the Bible. As she prepared for her

apparance before the king to intercede for the Jews, she said, "I will go in unto the king which is not according to law; and if I perish, I perish." (Esther 4:16). The significance of the Book of Esther stems from the fact that it has become a symbol to a persecuted people of the ultimate triumph of truth and justice. Haman has been described by writers as a typical Hitler, manifesting so intense a hatred of the Jews that it became an evil intent: as opposed to such evil stood the courageous.Esther ready to d e f e n d Tier people, even with her own life.

30,000 Jews Live in London's East End by S. J. Goldsmith The East End of London is not really a geographical concept; (here is no such borough, postal district or telephone exchange; nor will you find it on any ordinance map. Some people do not believe it really exists; others think it is a place where you venture at your own risk, if you are brave enough. When I tell my friends that I strolled for a couple of hours the streets of the East End—on my way to the West Ham United football stadium or just exploring the district—they shake their heads at the queer tastes of certain people, especially writers. But, of course" the East End does exist. It is, in fact, the huge area stretching along the River Thames from Aldgate on the fringe of the City to the County of Essex. Many people who live in other parts of the metropolis earn their living in the East End. But they are not part of it. O n l y t h o s e who live there, whether Jews, Irish Catholics, Anglicians, free C h u r c hmen, Hindus, Muslims. Sikhs, black, white, yellow or brown, are East Enders. You have to spend your nights there to qualify. Friendly, Tough, Likeable The people of the East End are friendly, helpful, humorous, t o u g h , enduring and likeable. They have a great capacity for amusing themselves. They take crises and d a n g e'r s in their stride. But their greatest quality is neighborliness, the result of a long struggle against poverty and misfortune which came to an end only with the advent of the Welfare State in England after World War II. Even today the rat race is outside t h e i r comprehension. Gallentry ol Mothers, Unsung Not so long ago, it was a piece of great good luck in the East End to have two days work a week. And the sweat shops of the East End had become notorious all over the world. Archbishop Appleton, of Perth, Australia, who served as a Church of England archdeacon in the East End for many years, said the other day that the m o s t heroic characters had been the East End mothers, who struggled endlessly to feed their families on a meagre income, or national assistance, and n e v e r gave up. Their gallantry remains unsung. Today, poverty has vanished for good but slum conditions still exist here and there, and it will take many years before the whole area is free of slums. Out of the twenty eight boroughs that comprise London,1 five are in the East End: Step ney, Hackney, Poplar, Bethnal Green and S h o r e d i t c h . They have a total population of nearly half a million. Whitechagel, a name and landmark in Jewish history, is in the East End, as everybody who has read his Zangwill ("The Children of the Ghetto") would know. It is, in fact, part of the B o r o u g h of Stepney. Not all East End Jews actually l i v e d in Whitechapel even in its hey day. But most of their institutions happened to be concentrated there, and so the name came to denote the whole of the Jewish habitat in the East End of London. The Jews were not the first foreigners to come to the East End. It has a very old tradition of harboring persecuted people. The Huguenots came to the East End after the massacre of St. B a r t h olomew's Day, in 1572. When the Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685, some eighty thousand more Huguenots came to England, and of them some 13 thousand settled in the East End. Traces of this settlement are still to be found in the East End: unexpected French names for unlikely back alleys of warehouses and scrap yards; French surnames borne by East Enders. Most of the Irish came after the potato famine of 184G and soon numbered one h u n d r e d thousand. They are Catholics, of course, and hence the larger number of Catholic churches in the area And Irish names, too,

but those are to be found everywhere in England. Jews came 1880-I9M Almost all the Jews came to the East End between ISiiiO and 1!I14. There were in the area some Sephardi Jews from bef o r e (the Sephardim came to England in the resettlement of ICfjG) but not many; the bulk of them lived in the City and to the west of it. The East End Jews came from Russia. Poland ami Rumania. Their language was Yiddish and their dress and habits were, naturally, those of Eastern European Jews. Nevertheless, they felt at home in a district where the population was so mixed and variegated. Elsewhere. English society is notoriously unabsorbent. Here the Jews, like the Huguenots and the Irish Catholics, continued .Uieir own way of life. The various groups of the population mingled freely during business hours, but went their own ways in the evenings and on their Sabbath days. Yet, there prevailed a s p i r i t of friendliness and neighborliness, and p e o p l e in distress were always given a helping hand. The Jewish contribution to the collective effort of earning a living in the East End was the pioneering of the tailoring, cabinet-making and shoemaking industries. Number increasing Actually, thirty thousand Jews still live in the East End. Those who work, or do business there are not included in this figure. Strange as it may seem, the number of Jews in the East End is actually increasing. Some of the children of those who left the East End for "better" districts in the metropolis are no longer in business or the trades; they are professional people; and some of them prefer the atmosphere of the colorful East

End to the lower middle class dormitories of Golders Green in the North West. The usual civilized amenities are available in the new housing estates of the East End. It is even safer there than in some central districts. After the war, I was lecturing occasionally in an East End youth club and the people used to warn me: "They will cut your tires" . . . I ignored it. Needless to say, nobody touched my car. I simply parked it o u t s i d e the club. "Don't worry. Sir, we will keep an eye on your car, said one of the boys. Nowadays I am often greeted cheerfully by f o r m e r members of the club as I walk through the back streets of the East End. It makes me feel at home. One of the boys in the club, who b e c a m e a cabinet maker in due course, presented me with a bookshelf. A remarkable institution operating in the East End since the middle thirties is the Council of Citizens of East London, which includes representatives of all the faiths and races in the. area. It was founded t h i r t y years ago to fight racial and religious prejudice. It is still active but these days it takes a long term view, since it does not have to deal with' immediate tensions. Institution Aims for Tolerance During the clashes between whites and Negroes in Notting Hill Gate, West London, and Nottingham, a few years ago, the East End remained unruffled. Today the Council of Citizens is a p u r e l y educational body, working on the assumption that good citizenship starts in the kindergarten. Trie methods'bf work are conferences for school children, mobile exhibitions, films, publications, meetings of teachers, social workers and religious men(Continued on Page 28.)

Rebekah—a Matriarch Of the Jewish People

Little did Rebekah of the Bible know of the high destiny t h a t awaited her when she left her home and family to wed Issac in a strange land. Her marriage to Isaac is the first monogamous marriage on record. She is remembered as one of the four matriarchs of the Jewish people and mother of Jacob, forefather of the 12 tribes of Israel. Jacob and Esau, fwins, were born to Rebekah and Isaac 20 years after their marriage. Rebekah felt in later years that she could not consider Esau as a leader following the great t r a d i t i o n s of her people.

She felt that only Jacob could fill that high trust. Rebekah is usually depicted in the romantic setting at the well at Nahor in Mesopotamia. Her courtesy, kindness and unselfishness, there, one day in her youth, attracted the attention of Abraham's envoy, Eliezer, who was seeking a wife for Isaac. She offered Eliezer a drink with ready grace and said, "I will draw water for thy camels, also until they have done drinking." (Gen. 24:19). It was the sign Eliezer was awaiting, before selecting a bride for Isaac.

On Getting Rich By DAVID SCIIWAKTZ The Israeli daily Maariv recently carried an interview with Mr. Seigfried Ullnian. donor of a million dollars for a research foundation at the Weizmaim Institute. There is an interesting footnote to the story of this donation, and it seems to bear out the main thesis of the interview, which is that making a fortune is mostly a matter of luck. The million dollar stocks which Mr. Ullman turend over to the Israeli institution, by a kicky rise are now valued at a million and a half. Mr. Ullman is quoted in the interview as saying that there is no recipe for getting rich. It is all luck, he says. Not so long back, they used to say there was one recipe, if not for making a big fortune, at least for making a small fortune. Tf you wanted to make a little fortune, they said, all you have to do is invest a big fortune in Israel. In the course of time, it will dwindle into a little fortune. But this, I understand. is no longer true. I am told that Israel is now developing its own Horatio Alger stories, people starting on a shoe string, and ending up in the high brackets.

Mr. Ullman told the Israeli reporter that, as far as he was concerned, he had never tried to become a millionaire. He had just kept busy, and the money came of itself. He did offer the reporter one suggestion which he thought might he helpful: ''Don't spend as much as you earn. Save a little." Mr. Ullman went further. He said that having a lot of money is a good deal of a headache. But most people are willing to take the headache. There are some few. of course, who show no interest in money. Einstein, when he came to Princeton, objected to the high salary and, instead of cashing a $1,000 check, used it for a book mark. All Einstein w a n t e d was enough to supply the simple necessities of living. Like Naliuni Sokolow used to tell of his teacher. Reb Menasseh Cutler. The rabbi sat all day and learned. His wife did all the economic providing in the home. Reb Menasseh himself could not tell one coin from another. One time Reb M e n a s s e h served as arbitrator in a Beth din. After the settlement of the case, he was handed a coin. "What is that?" he asked. "Give it to your wife." he was told. "She will know what to do

with it. You can get fish with it." "You can get fish with it!" exclaimed Reb Menasseh, "so give me more!" People generally look upon money as something more than a means to get fish and other necessaries. It seems to cast a special kind of glamor over the possessor. As the Yiddish saying has it: "if one is rich, one is clever and handsome and can sing." The rich cannot eat more than the poor. In many ways, the rich seem to be at an actual disadvantage. How much greater is the joy of the poor child in getting a toy, than the rich one who is surfeited? But the poor are not convinced. They feel as the Yiddish saying puts it, "man gcvclnt sich zu" (one can get accustomed) to the rich man's troubles. (JTA)

Jefferson proposed to name a Jewish lawyer, Moses Levy of Philadelphia, to his cabinet, but was dissuaded from it by Albert Gallatin. The first monument to J e f f e r s o n that is now in the Capitol rotunda, was the gift ofUriah P. Levy, an officer in the American navy.

Judah Touro, the American Jewish philanthropist, who gave a good deal of the money for the Bunker Hill monument, and who also was responsible for the beginning of the development of the new Jerusalem, outside of the Old City, fought as a soldier under Andrew Jackson at New Orleans. *

VERSE 20

HIS LAMP, which has hung in synagogues all over the world since the origin of Hie Bible itself, is an inspiring symbol of the profound, unceasing faith of a great people and their untiring efforts toward a better tomorrow.

In thirty scattered lands, this lamp of faith burns with the same inspiration "for all those on whom its light falls, be their place of assembly a synagogue of stone or a tent of goatskirt. It has been so through the ages. We need look no further for a better symbol for the uncertain times today than faith like this . . . the knowledge that man, with the help of God, can solve his own problems . . . that, lasting peace tn the world will come to us only when the principles of charity and justice govern the.actions of man. May this new year bring the answer to prayers of man of all faiths for a peaceful solution of the world's problems . . . that Rosh HashanahWill be recorded as the beginning of a new era for man . . . that within it he will reach a greater dignity through a more complete realization of the purpose for which, he was intended.

A Talmudic Tale The Talmud lells how a nama saved a great rabbi. Rabbi Meir stopped at an Inn—there was no other hotel in the place— where the Innkeeper was reputed to be an associate of robbers. Before the break of dawn, the Innkeeper awoke the rabbi, saying he had better hurry to catch the next wagon. But Rabbi Meir understood his motive. In the dark, he would lead him to his fellow brigands, who would rob him. So the r a b b i said he couldn't leave as yet, he WLS waiting for his brother, Kitov. Every few minutes, the Innkeeper would arrive, but the rabbi would say, "No, Kitov hasn't come yet." When it was fully light, the rabbi a r o s e . The Innkeeper said, "But your brother Kitov isn't here." "Oh yes, he is." said Rabbi Meir. "It is written in the Bible. And God saw the light and said, Ki Tov, It is good." THREE CANTOKIALGROUPS UNITE Chicago — Three cantonal groups, the Jewish Ministers Cantor's Association of America and Canada, Cantors Assembly of America, and the American Conference of C a n t o r s , have formed the Council of American Cantors.

30.000 London Jews

A Woman of Valor 1

Story of 'The Golden Rose by Ruth Morris '"She died on a Tuesday on Tishri 4, 1637. Her death augmented Jewish sorrow; that crown of the people has fallen and the provider of the poor is gone; her death compares with the candles of the Menorah, broke and extinguished. Her equal is not to be found, among w o m e n . Kings bowed their heads and princes bent their knees before her." So reads the inscription on the tombstone of a Polish woman of great beauty and wisdom, buried in the Jewish cemetery in Lemberg. Not many know of her life.

subject of litigation. She finally lost her nerve and became discouraged. Her many enterprises began to suffer, her influence waned and she became nervous and irritable. Soon afterward she fell sick and died. She survived her husband 2!) years. How h i g h l y Rose was esteemed can be gleaned from documents in the old archives in which Jews were designated as "infidels," but Rose is spoken of with the prefix "Lady," a title applied only to Gentile nobles. Her only son, Isaac had the title

of "royal subject." In his relatioas with the p e a s a n t s and Jews, he kept himself aloof as a genuine noble. A few days after his mother's d e a t h , he was condemned to death by the Radam court for his failure to carry out a contract which he had made with the government. But the death sentence was never carried out, for Isaac fled and kept in hiding. He was never heard of again. Thus endeth the story of "The Golden Rose." (Standard Failure)

New Year Greetings to

Golden Hair

Every heartbroken Jewess in her hour of distress has come to her grave to pour out her sorrow. The great woman beneath the monument was known as the "Golden Rose." When she was young, she had a head of silken golden hair that glistened like gold in the warm summer sun. When she married Nachum ben Isaac, she submitted humbly to have her long shimmering hair cut off as was the custom in Poland and other European countries. But not only because of her silken tresses was she known as the "Golden Rose;" but because she was a generous helper to every person in need. And the name stuck to her during all her life and even after her death. So deeply was her kindness and generosity rooted in the hearts of many people that they found relief in the tears they shed over her grave. But she was not only a woman of exceptional beauty, she also was clever and astute in her important business dealings. Her husband, Nachum ben Isaac was engaged for years in complicated litigation with the Jesuits over a beautiful s y n a g o g u e which Rose's father had built. During all his life, Isaac had extensive business relations with the Polish nobility.

. » < # • •

When her husband died, Rose courageously continued his business and through her rare business acumen, she amassed a considerable fortune. Rose Wields Great Influence Owing to her great wealth and rare beauty, she gained considerable influence with the nobility and the clergy. She also stood in great favor with the Lemberg starostea, Mnizik, who possessed great political power. Through her close connections, she was able to intercede in court in behalf of her fellow Jews. The Polish Government had built many granaries in a number of cities and the tradesmen had to pay toll for their use. Rose held the license for the coveted toll gates in the Lemberg region under lease and r e a p e d considerable income from the project.. Many of the nobles were at her mercy for she held mortgages on their estates and she thus became the owner of numerous important estates and forests. Although at that time, Jews were not permitted to deal in land and the magistrate protested, she was allowed to keep a large tract of land the starostea had given her. She also went to Warsaw and pleaded the cause of the synagogue before the king. So eloquent-washer plea that the king directed the magistrate to find a place for the Jesuits and ret u r n e d the synagogue to the Jews. Decline and Fall As Rose advanced in years the more beautiful she grew. The clergy, the nobles and the Btarostea vied with one another in seeking her favor. It was obvious that because of their mad desires, they enabled her to make a fortune in her many enterprises. Everything went well with her until she became hopelessly and helplessly Involved in a large transaction, which became the

Israel's Tourist Figures Are

Expected to Hit 200,000 Mark By JOSHUA H. JL'STMAN The ;rael Governinetit Tourist Cj.poration lias now published its annual report for the year 1962—a bulky document crammed with interesting facts and figures which, besides the central fact of the constant and rapid growth of the number of tourists visiting Israel, also reveals the complex elforts that go into the development of Israel as a tourist center. 15 Per Cent More in 19G2 In 19G2, the number of incoming tourists increased by 15 per cent, totaling 18.'),701. as compared with 159.024 in 1901. In the current year, the number is expected to be .veil over 200,000. The increase of the tourist traffic to Israel over the past years has been proportionately greater than the increase in international trends of tourist traffic. While in other countries, the annual increase recorded was from 6 per cent to 10 per cent, in Israel, during ilie period 1958-1962, it reached 27 per cent. The number of tourists that visited Israel between 18C0-1962 was equal to the total number that arrived during the entire period from 1948-1959. During the years 1959-1% 1. the tourist traffic actually doubled, rising1 from 83,614 in 1!)59 to 159,624 in 19G1. In the last few years, tourism lias been playing an important part among Israel's export items as an earner of foreign currency. In 19G2. the total income from tourism currency was $33,000,000 (excluding the earnings' of Israel's national carriers, El Al and Zim.) From the point of view of added value, tourism takes first place among Israel's export items, coming before citrus and its by-products. Summer Camps Plans have been completed for the establishment of a number of summer camps in Israel's national forests. A number of additional guest houses have also been opened in communal settlements (kibbutzim) in various parts of the country. There are also 15 hostels run by Israel's Youth Hostel Association. International Events Another significant development is that of the growing number of international events being held in Israel. Close to 3,000 delegates from 30 different countries took part in 24 conventions devoted to religious and scientific matters, agriculture and economics, architecture and music, including the M u s i c and Drama Festival, which has now become an annual event. At present, there are available close to 8,000 rooms in Is-

Call Me Lafe for (Continued from Page 31.) greeted me. "Glad to have you aboard." "Glad to be aboard." I said, just as nautically, if not originally. "How's everything here?"' "Great," said Rabbi Hirsch. "Just follow my lead, and you won't go wrong. I'll keep you on the right path in Sluil "and with the right fork at dinner. Hah!" "Hah!'' I echoed. ••Hah. hah!" That evening I stood before the congregation of Atlantic City Synagogue. I gave everything I had to the cantorial renditions of Rosh Hashanah Eve. Atlantic City is a Conservative synagogue and the cantor faces the congregation. Things being what they are today in American Jewish life, I had been trained on a convertible, revolving basis—that is I learned to face either the ark or the congregation as the situation demanded. This, however, was my first actual experience facing the people. In a sense it was rewarding, for I read approval and appreciation in many faces. The face of Nat Kofnian. president and gabi of the shul, seated behind me on the pulpit, was visible only in fleeting glances. It was inscrutable. Dinner at Kofmans It was not until we sat the dinner table in th Kofnian home that Nate Kofnian u t t e r e d a word of judgment. We sat at the festive table in the large dining room, the atmosphere of Yomtov—enhanced by Mrs. Kofman's—or some unknown cook's —fine culinary hand. Nate Kofman's over-expansive hospitali-

ty counterpointed by his only daughter Ruthie's meek silence, and Rabbi Hirsch's deep interest in the food rendering him seemingly oblivious to all else. ••Well,' Nate K of m a n pronounced. "Rabbi, you preached a good sermon. Good good. Long as you keep listening to me, I'll keep telling you what to say, we'll be all right, all right. And you, young Cantor, you got a nice voice. Nice. A little too dragged out, maybe; People get tired of sitting, you know. But you davven real nice. Real nice, yeh." "A Beautiful Daughter"

'•You have a very beautiful home, Mr. Kofnian, sir," I blurted. "And a wonderful cook for a wife. And a beautiful daughter." Nate Kofman looked pleased. "You are welcome to the hospitality of my home. And my wife's cooking. But Ruthie is engaged to Rabbi Hirsch." Rabbi Hirsch looked up briefly from his food, smiled and nodded vigorously, Nate Kofman mused, "With my money, she could've had at least a doctor, but you know, young love and all that stulf." "Oh certainly, sir, Mr. Kofman," I said. "Oh, Daddy!" said Ruthie. Rabbi H i r s c h s m i l e d , shrugged, and went back to his gefulte fish. On the morning of the first day of Rosh Hashanah, I sat side by side with Rabbi Hirsch on the pulpit. "Well, now, just follow my lead, I'll tell you what to do and everything will come

off just fine," whispered tha rabbi. "I heard you the first time," I whispered back. As the Torah was removed from the ark, N a t e Kofnian sidled over to me from the president's chair on the other side of the pulpit. "Now you just listen to what I tell you, and what the rabbi tells you, and everything will come off just fine." he whispered. , "Yes, sir," I whispered back. 'Hurry Up Uie Musal' I sat r a t h e r impatiently through Rabbi Hirsch's sermon, which I timed at 40 minutes. Finally, the rabbi returned to his seat, looking pleased with himself, and signaled me to continue with the Musaf service. He glanced at his watch. "Oh, my, we're running late," he whispered. "You'll have to hurry up the Musaf a little, cut a few corners." . I continued with the service, not cutting any corners. Facing the congregation, I could see all the faces except those of the rabbi and Nate Kofman, seated behind me. Perhaps I only imag-

ined that I felt two pair of eyes boring into my back. Seated once more at the Kofnian dinner table, we were barely into the appetizer when Nate Kofinan got down to business. "Young Cantor," lie said, "you sing good but you don't listen too good. Rabbi told you to cut down the service a little, it's like I would tell you to cut down the service a little. You cut down

(ContinueJ from Page 32.) 'Not So Much Gorgling' ''Poof!" said Nate Kofman. "Nobody's asking you to cut anything out. Just have to hurry it up a little. Not so much gorgling. People don't like to sit around in shul until 2 o'clock. They like to davven and get home and eat." "Oh, Daddy," said Ruthie. Rabbi Hirsch nodded vigorously. "One hundreds per cent right!" he exclaimed. "You better be quiet yourself," said Nate Kofman. "I'm coming to you, too. Forty-five minutes a sermon is too much. Tomorrow, half an hour is plenty, and I coul settle for twenty minutes." Rabbi Hirsch fidgeted a little, and said nothing. Nate Kofman continued. "A shul is like a business, you get to give the people what they want. Where do you think I would be today, if I didn't give the people what t!iey want? A manufacturer puts out a product, like I put out Kofmanite. It's got to be good, the people got to want it. The people like Kofmanite. Else how do I stay in busines in competition with DuPont nylon? And money I'm iraking, I think you see." Rabbi Hirsch obeyed orders. The sermon concluded promptly in twenty-nine and one-half minutes. I began the Musaf s ^rvice, reluctantly paying heed to Nate Kofman's instructions. I hurried along more than I liked to. 1 minimized the gorgling. As I was about to begin one of my favorite—and best preparedpassages, Rabbi Hirsch lapped we on the arm. "You can skip the singing on this one," he said. "We'll read it responsively." Well, they read it responsively, but before the rabbi could announce another page number, I leaped in and chanted the passage completely and with full justice, completely ignoring any dark looks that may have been thrown in my direction . from-either side of the pulpit. From then on, I gorglcl, just as much as possible, for the balance of the service, throwing caution to the winds. The service ended even' later than on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. • "You Didn't Listen" As before, the dinner table became the forum for discussion of the morning's events. Rabbi Hirsch looked out of the corner of his eye at his host, and then i n t o n e d severely, VPolin, you didn't listen to me, I gave you strict instructions. I even cut down my own sermon so you would have more time, and this is the thanks I get." Oh, Harry," said Ruthie. The rabbi is right," said Nate Kofman. "I am trying xo be real patient about this, young Cantor. But you got to learn to listen." "Oh, Daddy," said Ruthie. "I'll tell you what,". I said bravely. "Rabbi, suppose I don't tell you how to^preach, and.Mr, Kofman, sir, suppose I don't tell you how to make Kofmanite, and suppose the two of you don't tell me how to davven." Nato Kofman broke into a wide.grin. "Hah! That's what I like! A young man with spirit! So I can break it. You listen to me, young Cantor. You had your fun, 0. K. But you better start l i s t e n i n g , because I

still make out the c h e c k s . Kippur you'll come back you can have a good time. Nobody is in a hurry. We got all day. Gorgle all day long. Only one thing you remember. When it's time to finish, it's time to finish. Yom Kippur is over when it's over, not one minute longer. I fast all day, but one day, not two days. I've been very understanding with you so far, but I'm not understanding with anybody about Yom Kippur running late. So remember!" "That's reasonable enough," I said. I left for home following the holiday, and returned to Atlantic City for Yom Kippur full of good intentions. Kol Nidre went well, even though J felt there was a surfeit of responsive readings. Rabbi Hirsch enjoyed his sermon thoroughly, I gorgled. As we walked home following the service, he was full of the spirit of forgiveness. "Young Cantor, you davvened good. Just remember what time is quitting time tomorrow, we'll forget all the bygones. I'll even hire you back for next year. More money." Yom Kippur day seemed to present no problems. Shachris went smoothly. Rabbi Hirsch's sermon was, I must admit, interesting and pertinent, and my Musaf rendition was, by popular opinion with which I dare not disagree, superb. Nate Kofman made a number of trips to my side to remind me that quitting time was quitting time, and that 1 should please bear it in mind. The hour of the closing service arrived. I pride myself especially on my Neilah, and nothing, not even responsive readings, could spoil it. As I prepared to begin, Nate Kofman walked over to me once more. "Remember!" he said, "I remember, I remember, don't worry," I replied. "0. K.' he said. Then he had to give vent to his last worry. "You better. Because if you don't, by golly, if you are one minute late, no check. Not one penny!" And he patted me on the head. I said not one word'to Nate Kofman and began the Neilah service. I have never davvened a better Neilah. Also, I doubt if anyone has ever davvened a longer one. As darkness approached, Nate Kofman and Rabbi Harry Hirsch became ijjore and more nervous. Each made trips to my side. Suggestions became pleas, pleas became threats. Nothing de-; terred me. Among the congregants, looks of puzzlement gave way to those of annoyance. As darkness came, many left the synagogue. Others glowered at me openly. Only Ruthie Kofman's face showed no anger. She, strangely, was laughing. Finally, one hour after dark, I raised my v o i c e in the last wods of the closing prayer, and lifted the Shofar to my lips for the Tekiah that signified the ending of the Day of Atonement. Nate Kofman approached roe, positively livid with rage. "You did it, boy. You fixed yourself. Nobody does this to Nate Kofman. Not only you'll get no check, but I v/ill personally see to it that-you'll never davven in another shul." One thing about Nate Kofman, he means what he says. I never did get paid for trose High Holy

Days. And I suppose you would have to say he was right all the way, because I have never davvened_ in another shul. No Pay I have davvened, though, in Atlantic City—for all the High Holy Days and all the Yom tovim and almost every Sabbath for the past fourteen years. Of course, I don t get paid, but then I don't really need the money. You see, I am first vice-president of Nate Kofman, Inc., makers of Kofmanite. Nate, once a manufacturer, is now an industrialist, and his first vice-president gets paid pretty well. Of course, Nate is sometimes a little difficult to deal with, but whenever he gets out of line, I simply drag out the Neilah service—not seriously, just an extra fifteen minutes or so, and he learns to respect me all over again. During these past fourteen years in Atlantic City, have seen seven rabbis, including Harry Hirsch, come and go. But the chazzan, really a very good one even if he doesn't get paid, stays on. You see, Rabbi Hirsch didn't marry Ruthie Kofman.'I did.

l'car's Edition —THIS JEWISH I'KESS — IWsli

Israel's Loyalty Beth El Synagogue The approach of a New Year always arouses feelings of expectancy and hopefulness — expectancy, in that a New Year Is unmarred and may bring only good; and hopefulness, in that oportunitics present themselves to do better in the time to come than we have in the time that Is past. We meet the fall Holy Days, then, not only with prayer, but with hopefulness and expectancy as well. May God's blessing rest on all of us, on the House of Israel the world over, and on all God's children of all races and religions wherever they may be. •

Rabbi Benjamin Groner Belh Israel Synagogue The young Chasid, rushing down the rr.ain street of the town, was stopped by the venerable Rabbi. "Why are you in such a hurry?" asked the older man. "I am in pursuit of my Parnoso," was the answer. "Who knows?" mused the Rabbi. "Perhaps you have already over-run some worthwhile opportunity." This little talc high-lights one of the very important aspects of our High Holiday season. Many of us become so involved in a seemingly frantic p u r s u i t of business, or pleasure, or sport that we forget that "man doth not live by b r e a d alone." A healthy personality must be provided also with cultural and spiritual nutrients. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, described in our sacred writings as the days of "Heshbon Ha-nefesh" — a period of spiritual self-evaluation—should therefore dramatize for us the •basic Inadequacies of our daily pattern of living. Happy are the worshippers who find in the High Holiday services a message that tells them, "Seek the Almighty, that ye may live." • • *

Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Congregation of Temple Israel Our world is indeed in revolution. In every quarter of the

globe men are struggling to free themselves from servitude, and indignity, fear and hunger, from the d e b a s e m e n t that comes from those who regard other shins and creeds and nations as something less than Man. The tide of this revolution shall not be contained until it shall have covered the earth. In its way, our Rosh Hashanah well speaks the theme of man's nature. And our Yom Kippur asks each of us why we cannot accept that nature and live truly to it. Itosh Haslianah celebrates the miracle of the renewal of Life and the unity of mankind and the goodness of the earth for Man to enjoy. We hail In prayer God as King and Judge and Redeemer of us ail. Yom Kippur asks each of us to search our souls to discover why we do not act as if this were true even as we surely know it to be true. May our observance of the Awesome Days of this sacred season lead us to more than ritual observance and prayers repeated by rote. May the words and songs and rituals of our worship lead us closer to God and nearer to man. May we come to a clearer understanding of ourselves and our capacities for goodness— heroic, if needs be. Let us search our souls and In the search find a way to peace in our own hearts and with others. May the New Year be a year of Blessing because in it we shall have learned to be a blessing.

Arad First Born Assured of School Israel — Two five-month-old babies were recently assured of free secondary school education if they are still living in the same town when they reach the age of 14. They were the first children to be borne in the new town of Arad, center of the development region in the Eastern Negev. Parchment certificates recording the "birthright" were presented to their parents.

(from the Talmud) There was once a man who betrothed himself to a beautiful maiden and then went away and the maiclen waited. But he did not come back. Friends and rivals mocked her and said: "He will never come back." She went to her room and took out tiie letters in which he had promised to be her ever faithful, Weeping, she read them and was comforted. When he finally returned, he asked her how she had kept her faith so long and she showed him the letters. When Israel was in misery, in captivity, she was mocked by the nations for her unswerving hopes of redemption; but Israel, u n d i s m a y e d , went into her s c h o o l s and synagogues and took out the letters, and was comforted. God would in time redeem her and say: "How could you alone among all the mocking nations be faithful?" Then Israel would point to the Law and the Prophets and answer: "Had I not your promise here?"

Rosh Hashanah Quiz

The Presidents

By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX QUESTION: Why is there no additional poetry inserted in tlia evening seniice of Rosh Hashanah as there are in the evening services of other1 holidays or in the morning services of Rosh Hashanah? ANSWER: The fact of the matter is that the community of Worms was known (according to the Maharil's description) to have had poetic insertions in the evening service of Rosh Hashanah. The reason for which our liturgy does not have any is usually explained by virtue of the fact that it was customary to fast on the day before Rosh Hashanah and therefore the rabbis did not want the evening service to have any additional poetry so that the fasting would not be necessarily prolonged. Strangely enough, it is claimed that the community of Worms did have these poetic insertions in order to prolong the fast and to make sure that the fast did not end sooner than it should.

New Ycur'a Edition — THE JEWISH

Two by Manuel G. Balshaw, President, National Association of Jewish Center Workers There are two ways of looking at Jewish life—with optimism or with a sense of gloom and doom. We are called upon during this, the High Holy Day season, to appraise and evaluate Jewish life and then to plan for a constructive future. If one looks at the superficiality of Jewish living, one finds ample cause for pessimism. Not only can one be concerned about the decline in the quality and content of Jewish living in relation to Jewish values, but one can 'even worry about the possible eventual disappearance of the Jewish group. On the other hand, while facing the same realities observed by the "gloom and doomers," one can also iind cause for optimism, as do many rabbis, Jewish Community Center workers, Jewish educators and others. These people see the rich resources which our American Jewish communities can use to build an American Jewish life that can rival the "Golden Ages" cf once-thriving Jewish communities of Europe. We have more endowed chairs of Jewish learning on the university level than ever before. We have more

people training for the rabbinate and other areas of Jewish communal service. Jewish allday schools are growing. People are becoming affiliated with synagogues, Jewish Community Centers and other Jewish institutions and organizations to a greater degree than Uiey have in the past. Large sums of money are being raised locally for Jewish causes, more Jewish Community Councils are being organized, and the number of Jewish books published and purchased is growing steadily. Particularly encouraging" are efforts by Jewish institutions to strengthen the Jewish componen'. of their services and the growing recognition that Jewish communal workers needs not only professional and technical skills but also Jewish knowledge, skills and commitment in order to carry out their agency's objectives. Jewish Community C e n t e r workers are among the leaders in furthering these two developments. The National Jewish Welfare Board (JWB), the Association of Jewish Community Centers and YMHA's, is considering a review of the progress made in emphasizing Jewish content

in Center programs over the past 35 years. The National Association of Jewish C e n t e r W o r k e r s (NAJCW), i n d e p e n d e n t l y of JWB's action, has had a Commission working for more than six months on defining the purposes of the Center in relation to the needs of the American Jewish community. These and other deliberations by laymen and professionals give one confidence in the striving and search ior ways to further the enrichment of the quality and content of Jewish l i v i n g in America. Knowing that Jewish Community Center and YM-YWHA workers recognize the need to bring their Jewish background to the high level of their professional training, JWB and NAJCW are encouraging efforts to integrate courses of Jewish education for Center workers with their professional education. The Wurzweiler School of Social Work of Yeshiva University lias made a beginning in this direction. The new Philip W. Lown Graduate Center in Contemporary Jewish Studies at Brandeis University and the growing departments of Hebrew studies at various universities offer such training opportunities. The hope for a Jewish School for Social and Communal Work still burns brightly in the minds of many communal leaders, but it will have to wait until the resources to set up such a school become available. M e a n w h ile, supplementary courses of Jewish education are being developed throughout the country for Jewish Community Center workers. OTA)

Origin of the Machzor The first efforts to compile prayerbooks did not get under under way until after the Babylonian Talmud was completed— after 500 C.E. Until then, rabbis had been opposed to fixed prayer services that left no room for spontaneous religious expression through original verse or appropriate selections from the Scriptures.
