Rabbi Folkman Writes Article
on Grand Rapids
Dr. A. M. Hershman's bio-
graphical sketch is among the
articles listed in the latest vol-
ume of the Universal Jewish
Encyclopedia which just came
off the press.
Rabbi Jerome Daniel Folkman
of Grand Rapids is the author
of the article on that city. The
article shows that Grand Rapids
is the second largest city in Mich-
igan and that of its population
of 164,292, 1,700 are Jews.
Among the outstanding Jews of
the community listed is the late
Julius Houseman, who was the
first known Jew in the city. He
served as Alderman, Mayor and
Congressman. Among the out-
standing living Jews is Julius
Anthers, who was recently ap-
pointed special assistant to Sec-
retary of War Stimson.
Congregation E m a n u e 1, of
which Rabbi Folkman is spiritual
head, was founded in 1871. The
Bnai Brith Lodge, now named
after Julius Houseman, was
founded in 1872. Two orthodox
congregations were merged in
1938 under the name Congrega-
tion Ahavas Israel, and its lead-
er is Rabbi Lazarus Axelrod.
Among the contributors to the
latest volume of Universal Jew-
ish Encyclopedia, of which Dr.
Isaac Landsman and Louis Rit-
tenberg are editors, is Philip
Slomovitz of Detroit.

Eternal Justice Prevails
By Rabbi Moses Fischer
Nine years ago the gangster
Nazi government of Germany as-
sumed power and inaugurated
their rule of terror and horror,
with ruthless oppression and per-
secution of the Jews. Since that
fatal day, the Jews were forced
to listen with tightly closed lips
to the scorching question, "In-
deed Jew, where is your protect-
ing God?" It is only now that
the world picture has changed to
such an extent that the Jew may
open his lips, lift his bowed head
and proudly point to his enemies!
The policy of the Nazis was
to brand the Jews as the enemies
of mankind, as of inferior breed,
as a kind of submen, and the
Nazis themselves are considered
today before the tribunal of the
world as buns and vandals, as
pirates and brigands, as the foes
of all human civilization!

Jewish Music on Dec. 27.
More than 3,000 people filled
the hall to capacity, and every
available spot ,reserved for
standees was also filled.
While Sidor Belarsky, basso
cantante, was the featured artist,
Mrs. Shaver, who assisted him,
received an ovation and was called
upon to sing three encores.
Noel Straus, the New York
"Mrs. Shaver's singing of num-
bers by Gladstein, Krein, Alman,
Weiner, Frohman and Engel
could be heartily endorsed not
only for the fine quality of her
ample tones, but for her discrim-
inating use of them."
The New York Herald Tribune
critic said in reference to Mrs.
Shaver: that she "displayed a
dramatic approach. . . . The
voice itself is somewhat reminis-
cent of Lucrezia Boris. Any
reader who has heard that timbre
will grasp the reference and con-
strue it as high praise."

The Library of the Jewish
luncheon which the Youth Edu- Theological Seminary of America
cation League is giving on Wed- last week acquired two 14th cen-
tury parchment manuscripts of
the Pentateuch which Dr. Alex-
ander Marx, Librarian of the
Seminary, now regards as most
valued possessions. The original
Hebrew text of each verse in
both manuscripts is followed by
the Aramaic translation.
One of the manuscripts, prob-
ably originating in Spain in the
latter part of the 14th century, is
incomplete, containing only the
last three books, and the five
Scrolls. The other is a German
manuscript from the early part
of that century, and constitutes
the first important German Bible
manuscript in the Library col-
lection. This latter is complete,
with all five books and the five
Scrolls.
These manuscripts were pur-
chased from dealers though a
gift from Mrs. Florence Sutro
Anspacher.
