NEW YORK (JPS) — The

Attractive Bride

Metropolitan Opera now has a
new great tenor in Kurt Baum,
a Jew from Czechoslovakia and
the second Jewish tenor to make
his debut in a week, since Jan
Peerce made his first Met ap-
pearance the following evening.
Singing in "Dec Rosenkavalier,"
a Richard Strauss opera, Mr.
Baum won the plaudits of both
the audience and the critics with
his five-minute performance as
the singer.

Hyman Altman will complete 12
years of radio broadcasting this
Sunday, with his program on
Station WJLB, from 12 noon to
1:15 p. m.
Commencing his 13th year of
service, Mr. Altman will have a
special program which is expected
to attract wide attention in the
community.
During his 12 years of service,
Mr. Altman has been active in
behalf of many movements, in-
cluding the Jewish Home for
Aged, the building of which he
urged over the radio, the House
of Shelter, the Kosher Kitchen
which functioned during the de-
pression, and other causes. All
important movements—Zionist, ed-
ucational, charitable—have been
granted time on his hour.

Method to Make
Violins Perfected
By a Detroiter

A method for the manufactur-
ing of violins without necessi-
tating the use of the compli-
cated machines that were hither-
to in use in Germany has been
perfected by Martin Leiser of
1607 W. Euclid Ave.
Mr. Leiser, who has lived in
Detroit since 1917, is engaged in
the manufacture of candies.
However, he has spent many
years working on the process he
has perfected for violin manu-
facturing.
According to Mr. Leiser, his
scheme will fill the need felt
today by the shortage of good
violins, which until the war, came
from European countries.
Mr. Leiser is interested in se-
curing the aid of Detroit busi-
ness men in organizing a manu-
facturing company for the mak-
ing of violins according to his
method.

RESALE SHOP

4

With a record month during
October to its credit, Resale Shop
at 201 Henry, operated by the De-
troit Section, National Council of
Jewish Women, is making special
plans to accomn ate its holiday
shoppers.
A "treasur table" for items
that are no longer treasured in
one home, but would be in an-
other, is a feature for the sea-
son. Bric-a-brac, household equip-
ment, jewelry, china and silver
are needed to stock the table.
Toys, evening wraps, formals, and
men's clothing are also in de-
mand. Items to serve as Christ-
mas gifts can be sold as quickly
as they are available.
Members and friends of Coun-
cil are requested, also, to save
grocery bags for the shop, because
of the paper shortage which
makes such materials hard to
buy.
Bundles may be delivered to the
shop, or will be picked up if con-
tributors call Ma. 6970. Women
interested in serving as salesladies
should get in touch with Miss
Janet Shiffman at To. 8-6361.
Proceeds aid in the support of
Council's scholarship program, its
summer camp for young men and
women at Jeddo, Michigan, and
other philanthropic activities.
Mrs. David Kaatz was desig-
nated "Woman of the Month"
for her achievements as merchan-
diser and saleslady during the
past four weeks. Mrs. David
Feerer, Resale Shop chairman,
has announced that each month
one outstanding worker will be
so designated.
Others on the October Resale
Shop Honor Roll are: Mesdames
A. Baum, F. Bielfield, G. Bloom,
S. Brown, H. Desenberg, M.
Eisler, Gerry, D. M. Greenwald,

"Three Dots and a Dash"
in Jewish Script and Life"

By RABBI MOSES FISCHER

Due to the luminious meaning
and significance given to the
"Three Dots and a Dash" in our
critical days and to the encour-
agement and inspiration drawn
from it as well by the battling
nations, it should be pointed out
that many, many centuries be-
fore telegraphy was invented,
before the Mozar script was ac-
cepted as a medium of commu-
nication, the "Three Dots and a
Dash" were already known in
in Jewry, there were parts of
the Jewish Alef-Beth forming the
frame and outline—in plain He-
brew script and not in enig-
matic signs—of the "Shijon"
with its three upward pointing
dots and its basic dash. More-
ove•, the "Shijon" in Hebrew is
the initial letter of "Shadai"
which designates God in His at-
tribute as the great power which
rules the universe, directs and
guides the destinies of men,
shapes in harmony with His ends
and purposes the history of man-
kind and gives ultimative Vic-
tory to the Forces if Righetous-
ness, Liberty and Justice as
against the ruthless powers which
aim at the enslavement of man-
kind. Thus the letter "Shijon"
performs since ancient times the
same high service in Jewish life
as the "V" does in our days;
it fortifies the spirit of the Jew,
it raises his morale, it implants
and inculcates in him an un-
wavering Faith in the final estab-
lishment of the Kingdom of God
and Brotherhood and Liberty
upon the earth 'The Footstool of
God."
There is indeed no devout,
loyal Jewish home — whether a
humble shack or a spacious pal-
ace—but at its doorpost is the
"Mezuzoh," from which blazes
the word "Shadai."
The date of and origin of the
acceptance of the Jewish "Three
Dots and a Dash"; the letter
"Shijon" as the sacred emblem
of Jewish hope and courage,
goes back to the birth of Jewish
history, to the first Pesach fes-
tival.
It was the 14th day of the
month of Nisan: the eve of Jewish
redemption and liberation. Israel
prepared itself with solemn haste
to leave the house of slavery,
the iron yoke of Egyptian bon-
dage. They were commanded to
slaughter the Pascal lamb and to
mark with its blood the upper
and sidepost of their houses. The
purpose • of this mark was to
single out the Jewish homes from
the Egyptians and to place them
under the wings of Divine Love
and Protection. This mark of
distinction was—according to an-
cient tradition—the letter "Shi-
jon", standing for "Shaday."
Since that momentous hour of
our history, since the deliverance
of Israel from the iron furnace
of Egyptian bondage, the "Mezu-
zah" with its three "Dots and
basic dash" became the hallowed
symbol and sign of the ulti-
mate redemption of Israel and
of mankind, of the triumphant
onward march of the holy ideals
of humanity, of the advents "at
the end of the days" of the Mes-
sianic era when, Israel and man-
kind will be saved with eternal
salvation by the Lord.
Thus the "Shijon" and the
"X" letters interpret each other,
complete each other and bring
with united force to mankind the
message of Trust, Hope, Faith,
Courage and resistance to the
forces of evil and aggression as
manifested in the whole course
of our history.
