"Battle of Sexes" at Shaarey
Zedek April 10

The "Battle of Sexes" of the
Men's Club and Sisterhood of
Shaarey Zedek will be held on
April 10, at 8:30 p. m. in the
social hall of Shaarey Zedek.
It will be a combination of
techniques of "Information
Please," "Battle of the Sexes,"
"Professor Quiz" and "You're
right, that's wrong." The wits
will consist of questions per-
taining to Jews and Judaism to
be entertained by select teams
representing these organizations.

warm. The rain doused the cigarettes before
they were one-quarter smoked.
A messenger rushed in to tell us we were
to move forward at 5 o'clock. At 4:20 Max
died of an internal hemorrhage. Before he
died he pleaded with us not to leave him
unburied.
With sharp rocks we scooped out a shallow
grave for him. Jacob, who had spent three
years at the Seminary before volunteering,
was to perform the service. Suddenly we
noticed that there were only nine of us,
Jacob insisted that we needed ten, a minyan.
Silently we stood in the dim half-light of
approaching dawn, the rain lashing our wet
uniforms. Silently we stared at one another.
The minutes ticked off. We needed ten Jews.
In fifteen minutes we marched. We n e eded
ten Jews. The minutes ticked off. The dim
light grew stronger. A shell burst nearby.
The church vibrated to the explosion. A dull
crash boomed behind us. Startled, we turned
to look. The statue of Jesus behind the
shattered altar had toppled between two near-
by pillars; the arms of the cross preventing
the statue from falling.
Suddenly Jacob screamed, "Our minyan
is complete
We stared at one another. Tears coursed
down our cheeks to mingle with the rain as
Jacob tenderly carried the statue of Jesus
over to us and set it against the wall. Our
minyan was complete. We had found the
tenth Jew.
Slowly Jacob began the prayer, "Baruch
atah adonai . . .
Slowly, tears still dropping with the rain,
we answered, "Baruch hu, oo'varuch shemo."
