Eco- nomically ruined, their only hope is for aid from fellow Jews more fortun- ately located in other countries, par- ticularly in the United States. As the major organization in Amer- ica doing that work, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee has made available to Polish and East European Jews more than 400 million dollars in loans through cooperative loan societies, and more than 16 mil- SOFT AND HARD COAL SOLVAY COKE—WOOD—STOKOL STOKERS CEMENT, SEWER PIPE, DRAIN TILE, SEPTIC TANKS, SALT PHONE 188 SOUTH HAVEN, MICHIGAN Happy New Year to AU Jewry Kester's Sheet Metal Shop GENERAL CONTRACTING WE MAKE EVERYTHING—FURNACES PHONE 21 411 PHOENIX ST.

POMEROY I he Evolution of the American Jew In 93 pages of text which make i p his volume "The American, lew: A Study of Backgrounds,"1 Bloch, $1.25), Rabbi Abraham J.1 'eldman devotes 49 pages to the ext proper and the balance to hronological tables and rending' I ists. But the latter portion of the I oak is as valuable as the first. In act, it helps increase the worth 1 if the book because of it presents he reader with a concise record of I istolle events which explain the volution of the American Jew. Rabbi Feldman approaches his heme by discussing briefly the hree types of Jewish immigrants who settled in this country: The panish-Portuguese, the Gerrna`.... a nd the Russian-Polish Jews. Ile hen points out that when speaking f the American Jew one does not r efer to any one of these three 'mops but that these three become blended, that a synthesis is cre- ated incorporating their common life, their common hopes and chievernents. As the author puts i t: "A human being keenly patri- otic, splendidly advancing, finely c ontributing, nobly aggressive, cul- turally creative, socially-minded and progressive; a composite per- sonality, made up of the best of the centuries of creative endeavor and spiritual groping of world Jewry, striking his roots into the congenial and blessed soil of America—that is the American Jew." New Year's Greetings and Best Wishes to All 1 Whoever edits the "Twenty Years Ago" column in the Ameri- can Hebrew pulled a boner re- cently. when an item reported the assassination two decades ago of Ilenri Sliesberg, famous Russian Jewish leader .. . Sliosberg died only two years ago, in Paris. Every betrayal of a secret is the fault of the person who con- fided it.

Rehabilita- tive work includes that of culture training, educational and vocational training of Jewish youths and adults in Eastern Europe. Thousands of families such as the one pictured above depend solely upon the J.D.0 for their daily food. Jewish Attitude Toward Divorce Although the Jew regards mar- riage as a divine institution and hence one to be maintained throughout the husband's and wife's life, he favors the discon- tinuance of the married state un- der certain well defined and rea- sonable conditions. husbands and wives may sue for divorce on the ground of adultery, immorality or loathesome disease. In addition to these reasons a wife may sue for divorce on account of non-support or desertion. However, no divorce can take place according to the Jewish law except upon common agreement of husband and wife. While divorce is permitted, Jews, as a rule, seek to avoid a legal separation between husband and wife. The shame attached to di- vorce may be recognized in the well-known. rgbbinical sentiments, "he who divorces his wife is hated before the Lord;" "God's altar sheds tears for him who divorces the wife of his youth." Why Jews Do Not Promote Missionary Work At one time the Jews were ar- dent missionaries. Toward the end of the second pre-Christian cen- tury the missionary spirit devel- oped with enthusiasm often fana- tical among the Jews. The Mac- cabean rulers of Judea compelled the non-Jewish elements of Pales- tine to adopt Judaism. The rabbi- nical teachers, on the other hand, attempted to win proselytes through religious conviction. Many converts were niade and conspicu- ous among them were the women, often of royal station, including the Roman empress l'oppea, wife of Nero, and Queen Helen of Adi- abene. In Damascus it was said most of the women had become converts to Judaism. With the rise of Christianity, missionary activities were forbid- den and the whole movement col- lapsed and, with but few excep- tions, was never regenerated. However, the more fundamental explanation of why Jews do not proselytize lies in the development of the prophetic ideal in Judaism. HARBOR RESTAURANT FLICKINGER'S 161 E. MAIN ST.
