session of every man rather than
the exclusive property of priests.
The way to God was through
prayer. And when this man was
of a people, which had been ex-
iled, and still had faith; which
had lost its magnificent Temple,
and created a noble institution,
the Synagogue; whose leaders
urged them to build in their
hearts a "smaller sanctuary" of
spirit to replace the altar of sac-
rifice, then this people developed
a new thing in the history of
man—the Prayer-Book.
"The Small Sanctuary" by Dr.
Solomon B. Freehof, is the at-
tempt, successful and absorbing,
to find in the prayer-book, the
Jewish ideals of worship. Dr.
Freehof shows through an anal-
ysis of the prayers, what Judaism
is in the actual life of man. In
an introductory survey, which
reads so absorbingly, as to be-
guile the excellence of the scholar-
ship contained in it, he shows
how Jews developed in the Pray-
er-Book, the first democratic
spiritual worship of God.
Dr. Freehof surveys the entire
prayer-book; and what could have
been a dull catalogue of prayers,
becomes the fascinating story of

Louis Solai, chairman of the
house committee of Yeshivoth
Beth Yehudah, announces that
beginning Thursday, Dec. 3, a
first aid class will be held every
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock,
in room 3 of the Yeshivah Bldg.
The class is sponsored by the
Red Cross unit of the Ladies
of the Jewish War Veterans of
the United States, and will be
held for • five weeks.
The Ladies of the Jewish War
Veterans are also sponsoring a
citizenship class every Tuesday
and Thursday evening, at 8
o'clock, which takes place in
Room 2 of the Yeshivah Bldg.

what Israel believes, and how it
has grown in spiritual power.
The hallowed prayers take on,
even to one familiar w;th them,
a new clarity. And Dr. Freehof's
penetrting insight makes of the
prayers of the ancients, an in-
spiration for moderns.
Anyone who wishes to learn
how men pray to God and yearns
to translate His holy eternity into
his every-day life, should read
this story of how the Jew placed
God in a book of prayer, but
never imprisoned Him between its
