PLANS OF OWE
ZEDEK FOR SPECIAL
WORK THIS SEASON

By Chas. H. Joseph.)

The monks in • monastery in New York State want • set of the
Jewish Encyclopedia and have written to me inquiring if it is possible
to procure • used set. This request is such an unusual one that I deem
it worthy of place in this column. Further, I ask the readers to please
advise me if they can comply with this request. In fact, I would be
happy to have someone contribute a net to the monastery. It would
be a graceful act and I am sure would be greatly appreciated. In
order that prompt action may be taken in the matter, will any reader
o f "Random Thoughts" who is inclined to donate • set of the books
in question address me at 502 Oliver Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa. Thank you.

Now this isn't fair. The Indiana Jewish Chronicle, with its seven
has been the recipient of a
scolding on the part of some of our Jewish weeklies because with its
seven rabbis as editors, it accepted • Ford advertisement. I am quite
s ure that not one of the seven, with possibly the inceptionof the pub.
lisher himself, knew that • Ford advertisement was in the paper unless
called to it. No more than the editorial writer on
their attention was
a daily paper knows what advertisements come to the paper over the
counter. And I am sure that these seven estimable and lending mem-
bers of the American Reform Rabbinate are in no wise responsible
nd should not be censured for • mistake on the part of the business
a
office. Ford representatives have tried for a long time to get adver•

r abbinical editors (count 'em—seven)

itsements in Jewish newspapers but have been unsuccessful.

In • copy of a Catholic mag•zine that has been handed to me, I
find a statement headed "Jewish Lawyer Educates Boy for Priest-
hood." The article tens of an experience of the Right Rev. Monsignor
Francis C. Kelley, president of the Catholic Church Extension Society.

He said

"Some years ago I received an urgent message from a well
known Jewish lawyer to meet him at lunch. He drew a letter
from his pocket. It read: 'I have heard of your generous
donation to —, and I wonder if you would help a boy who
has his heart upon becoming a Catholic priest. My father works
in the stockyards and is too poor to send me to college.' It won
written by a boy."

The Jew mid: "I want you to help me had that boy." The boy
was found and his benefactor paid for his education, his clothes and
his board. Monsignor Kelley then concludes with this

"I tell this story not to praise the lawyer—for he would re-
sent any public thanks, but to shame Christians; at least those
of them who would think it too great a sacrifice to do for their
own as much as this man gladly did for a little boy of a creed
which is so far removed from his own."

At the World Zionist Congress in Karlsbad, a number of Zionists
protested against the policy of the Zionist leaders in limiting for the
time being the number of immigrants to be admitted to Palestine.
But Dr. Weizmann pointed out that in this case the conditions of
mst
immigration must of necessity be reversed. The flow of money"
precede immigration. Anyone conversant with conditions in Palestine
must recognize the force of Dr. Weizmann's statement. By reason
of the economic conditions it is impossible to give Jewish labor suffi-
the funds for the rehabilitation are in-
cient employment and only as
creased in that proportion will the immigration bars be let down. It
would be nothing short of a calamity if all the Jews who are waiting
to rush into Palestine would be permitted to enter without provision

having been made for their needs.

In screaming headlines across the entire width of the paper,
Ilearst's Boston American announces "Two Hotels Bar Jews." As if
prominent woolen manu-
that were news! Mrs. Alfred Kann, wife of a

facturer in New York, registered at Cliff House, Winthrop, Mass., has
a Jewess. There
been asked to leave with her c hildren because she is

is no equivocation. It is the plain statement of the management. If
Jew succeeds either through absence of physical characteristics ordi-
•
narily Jewish or by some other cause in eluding the eagle-eyed man-
agement when registering, as soon as his religion or race is discovered

out he goes.

It seems as if the two "c-light" hotels of this swell neck of the
and Winthrop Arms. The management of
woods are the Cliff House
both hotels have delivered themselves unmistakably on the subject of
Jewish gueets. They say that the Jews coming to Winthrop in the
por-
have killed property values and have destroyed a certain
summer
resort. Therefore they will not permit them
tion of it as • summer
to come to the section where these hotels are located. In the winter,
when there are only a few of "the swell mob," as one manager desig-
s wells, they
n•ted the Back flay (I was going to say the Back Biters)
do "let an occasional Jew in." Well, that is something. That term

Many Varied Activities Ar
ranged for Coming Months;
Friday Night Services.

All Selling Records
for the Frank .&
Seder Arc Being
Broken by Our

Plans are being completed for the
Shaarey Zedek program of activities
for its mend•rs and their families for
the coming' season. These embrace
adult classes in Hebrew, Bible and
Jewish history under Rabbi Hersh-
man; Sunday School with competent
teachers under the personal super-
vision of Rabbi Hershman. Elaborate
plans are being worked out for the
Sunday School Assemblies which will
make these most interesting and in-
' structive. The organization of a Men's
Club is attracting great interest. Re-
vivifying of the Junior Young Peo-
ple's Auxiliary, a rebirth of spirit in
the Young People's Auxiliary, eaten-
shin and strengthening of girls' and
boys work, and maximum use of the
gymnasium through the formation of
gymnasium classes for men, women
and children, will be among the other
activities.
The special gymnasium classes be-
ing organized are as follows: Mon-
. day—Class for women under compe-
tent instructor; gym classes and done-
I ing for girls, 9 - 11; gym class for
young women. Tuesday—Noon gym
I class for business men; gym class for
! boys 6-11, Wolf Cubs, etc. Wednesday
—Gym class for women; class for
older girls, 11.14; Young Women's
I Hebrew Association gym class. Thurs-
day—Noon gym class for business
men under competent instructor, Boy
Scout gym class; Thursday evening,
Shaarey Zedek Men's Athletic Club.
! Other groups to be organized if in-
' terest is shown will be an orchestra
and a choral society. A dramatic
class will be organized for Tuesday
afternoons for girls and boys. In
, addition to dramatic study, this group
' will prepare for plays and playlets
for the Sunday school, and other oven-
, skins. Each Thursday afternoon a
! class will be held for girls in hand-
work.
Girl Scouts will meet as usual on
Mondays, Camp Fire Girls Wednes-
days, Blue Birds for girls 6-11 in two
groups on Monday and Tuesday after-
noons after school; Boy Scouts
(Troops 101 and 16-1) will meet as
usual on Tuesday evenings, at 7:15.
The Ladies' Auxiliary is planning a
splendid season of activities. One in-
, novation being organized by the con-
gregation and sponsored by the
Ladies' Auxiliary is the Sunday Even-
' ing Get Acquainted Dance.
Special services and Get-Togethers
will tie held in conjunction with the
holidays, such as Thanksgiving,
Chanukah, Purim, etc. The special
Friday evening services will lie re-
peated again this year because of
their popularity last season and the
great demand that they be continued.
Some splendid out-of-town speakers,
together with local men and Rabbi
Hershman, will occupy the pulpit.
Cantor Minkowsky is again training
his choir to lead in the congregational
singing.

"swell mob" is just about right.

So Mrs. Kann is considering entering suit against Cliff House be-
leave if
cause of humiliation. It seems that the guests were going to
a glance at her
Mrs. Kann didn't. I wonder why? Surely from
a
standing one would imagine that Mrs. Kann would conduct herself
lady. But the manager said several guests said they would leave if
frank
to
my
the
least,
took
Mrs. Kann didn't. So the manager, who is
the position that five boarders are better than one. The Boston Ameri•
ran is trying to work out the idea that since H d has taken an
anti•Semitic position and these two hotels are right in step, that
Massachusetts is seeking to become the headquarters of the anti-
Semitic movement in America. Nothing doing. Headquarters still

remain at Dearborn, Mich.

Well, the holiday Jews are beginning to brush up. Everything is in
readiness for the grand rush to temple and synagogue. Some day I
think I shall issue • questionnaire to the Jews of the country "king
why they attend services on the holidays. If they answered truth-
fully it would make quite an interesting as well as illuminating sym-
posium. But not one of them would suggest that superstition prompt-
ed him to go, yet I am absolutely sure that • superstitious dread of
consequences of not going to service on Yam Kippur at least has been

the urge that sends many.

According to the readers of the Jewish Tribune, the following are
the 12 leading Jews of the United States: Louis D. Brandeis, Louis
Marshall, Nathan Straus, Oscar Straus, Samuel Untermyer, Stephen S.
Wise, Julius Rosenwald, David Belasco, Julian W. Mack, Felix M. War.
burg, Charles P. Steinmetz and Adolph S. Ochs. The term " ttttt "
has so many meanings and so many shades of meanings that the selm•
tion of such • group is merely mid-summer gayety. It is interesting,
at any rate. I think the Tribune readers did rather well, though I do
not by any means agree with all of their selections. Furthermore,
them is no reason why • man such as Adolp S. Ochs, who has achieved
one of the miracles of modern journalism, should have been shoved
down to the bottom of the list. But what's the use. Every man has
his own ideas of greatness. I notice that many thing "Sam" Unter-

myer • great man. Well, well.

Mr. Sig Saxe says that the Jews have their B'nai B'rith, the
Catholics their Knight. of Columbus, so why shouldn't the Protestants
have their Ku Klux Klan. I am surprised, Mr. Saxe. You surely can-
not compare the I. 0. B. B. and the K. of C. with the K. K. K. The
Ku Klux Klan has net itself above law and order; it seeks to usurp the
the censor of society. If it
duties of government. It snakes itself
doesn't like German taught in the public schools it threatens the board
of education. If it doesn't approve of the manner in which • doctor
wears his whiskers, it tells him to change it or it will tar and feather
him. If • candidate wants to put an advertisement in a Jewish news-
paper the K. K. K. says nothing danig and threatens him. It is bully-
ragging, bulldozing masked band that makes for disorder and lawless-
nd is a menace to the
ness. It is founded on hate and intolerance a
welfare of the nation. There is no excuse for • super-rnssked govern-
other
country.
So, Mr. Saxe,
ment in the United States nor in any
I feel that such en organization is unworthy of defense at the hands

of any right minded citizen.

Rather hard on the "healers." The Churchman, an important

Episcopal church paper, says:

"We hope that our ecclesiastical legislators will do well to
bear in mind that spiritual therapeutics is the happy hunting
ground of all sorts of cranks, semi-superstitious, half baked and
partially illuminated individuals, who have first succeeded in de-
ceiving other people."

I shouldn't be surprised if most of the folk who take up different
cults, including spiritualism, mental healing and the rest of it, are

more or less half baked.

I am going to ask just one more question of Mr. Sam. What
would be the result if the I. 0. B. B. or the Knights of Columbus were
to threaten individuals who did not live according to the ideas of the
members of those organizations? What right has any organimtion to
my that bemuse there are a majority of Protestants in this country
at the present time that the Protestants are giong to have their way
and anyone also who doesn't like shall get out of the country? Sup-
pose that in 25 or 50 years from now that the Catholic church should
attain the ascendancy, what then? Would the K. of C. then issue
orders to mmybody des that they shall do thus and no and if they

don't they will barn them to reckon with? Where is all this to end?
I arts of the opinion that the President and Congress should realize

the gravity of the situation crated by the Ku Klux and that steps
should be token not alone to dissolve this organiztaion but to make it
impossible that ever ■ min in this country any group should bra or-

ganized for such purposes.

In Life Insurance

HOME OFFICE BUILDING

Ready for Occupancy
January 1923

The amount of insurance written by the Detroit Life this year is indeed phenomenal—the talk
of the insurance men of this state. That's why you will find us in our own building after the First of
the Year. The policies offered by this company are so attractive that it is a certainty that we shall
grow from strength to strength.

500 SYNAGOGUES RALLY
TO SUPPORT THE "HIAS"

In obedience to an appeal made by
the Conference of Orthodox Rabbis of
America over 500 synagogues
throughout the United States (300 of
them in New York) will devote the
eve of the Day of Atonement to a
sermon on the plight of our Jewish
bretheren in the devastated regions of
Eastern Europe and to a plea for sup-
port of the Hebrew Sheltering and
Immigrant Aid Society of America,
which has been the chief source of aid
to those unfortunates.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone-
, went, will, in most synagogues, he
ushered in with a sermon and prayer
in behalf of those members of our
faith whose misfortune it is not to
live under the protecting and civiliz-
I ing auspices of the Stars and Stripes.
The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society is the organization
devoted to the reception of Jewish
immigrants in this country and to the
protection of those Jews in foreign
i lands who desire to find a home in the
United States. The society must
raise a half million dollars to cover
a deficit of three hundred thousand
dollars and to permit continuation of
its extensive post-war activities.
Rabbis and congregations all over the
country have responded in large num.
bers to the appeal.

Detroit Life Has Written More Insurance the First Nine Months
of 1922 than was written the entire year 1921 —
Over $11,000,000

Morris Fishman

Director and Superintendent of Agents Wayne County

Has a most admirable record. His organization has written over $1,500,000 insurance the first nine
months, more than they wrote during the entire year of 1921. Much is expected from Mr. Fishman,
because he has surrounded himself with an organization of able, courteous and intelligent insurance
men. The prospects for the ensuing year are exceedingly bright. A telephone call to Mr. Fishman's
desk will start a man to your office or home. May we not hear from you?
