GREETINGS!
That the New Year now approaching
shall be caravan-laden with all the good
things in life is my earliest wish to all
my friends and policyholders. I also
desire to emphasize that the New Year

and interest as in the past.

gion. The Hall of Religion itself ;
houses exhibits of many of the
greatest religions of the world and
is intended to show the progress1
which mankind has achieved 1
through religion as a driving force
•in the attainment of man to a
•higher state of civilization. The ex-
hibits have sought to give both the
student of religion and the lay-
man a panoramic view of the ma-
terials around which have been
woven the story of religion as the
dynamic factor in the consecration
of human life—human life in the
service of high ethical values.
The Jewish exhibit is a dramatic
survey of contributions by the Jew
' to civilization. Limited as it is to
the achievements of the Jew, par-
ticularly in the last one hundred
years, it has presented within well
defined limitations a most remark-
able story. Depicting the ideals
of Judaism as given by prophet,
sage and seer upon murals and
using a series of illuminated slides,1
attention has been called to the
contributions which Jews have
made in the fields of art, music,
literature, medicine, philanthropy,
world peace, care of the sick, the
aged, education, and economic up-

indicate the institutions that the
Jewish communities the world over
have set up in order to carry out
the ideals that Judaism has kept
sacred. Cases containing articles
of modern and ancient art, books
old and new, items of a devotional
nature and ceremonial objects have
been placed on display. In the
center of the murals and seising as
a central element is placed an ark
with the scrolls of the law.
So unique and outstandint has
been this Jewish exhibit that thou-

tornmight be available to those
who could not personally attend.
It was thought that there must be
many who might desire descriptive
data of the Exhibit, either as a
permanent reminder of the pleasure
derived from their visit or to use
the data in programs. To meet
this need ■ booklet of excellent
workmanship was planned. In the
preparation of this booklet pains-
taking care was exercised. Two of
America's foremost Jewish whal-
ers, Dr. Louis I. Mann and Dr.
Gerson B. Levi, who, incidentally,
were responsible for the &Rem-
Ming of the Jewish exhibit itself.
undertook to write the descriptive
material. These two thinkers pre-
pared a booklet really worthy of
their theme. They presented the
materials of the exhibit with a
.ympsthetic and appreciative un-
derstanding which anyone. whether
familiar or not 11 ith Jewish histor-
ical knowledge, may genuinely en-
joy.
In order to give these booklet,
as wide a circulation as possible,
a nominal charge of 50 cents,
merely to rover the cost of produc-
tion, has been set. They are on
sale at the Jewish exhibit in the
